Wasteland Survival Guide Wattz flyer Wellingham's recipe fallout.wikia.com
Some food items can be planted in player settlements to increase the settlement's food supply. In Survival mode food must be consumed periodically to reduce the Hunger effect, if neglected the player's Fatigue will increase and eventually will lead to taking damage to Hit Points. Most types of food will reduce hunger by some amount, though certain foods are more effective than others.
These consumable items can heal the player, temporarily change the player's SPECIAL stats and add various other unique effects. Some of these drinks can be crafted at Chemistry stations found across the Commonwealth. To create the ice cold variants of certain beverages, they must be placed in Buddy for 12 in-game hours. In the add-on Nuka-World, the player can craft different Nuka-Cola recipes using Nuka-mixer stations. When drinking alcoholic consumables such as beer and wine, there's a chance the player can become addicted, which will result in decreased stats until the addiction is cured. To prevent addiction, the Party Boy/Girl perk must be leveled.
Different chems can restore Hit Points, slow time, temporarily change the player's SPECIAL stats and a variety of other effects. Many of these chems can be crafted at Chemistry stations located all across the Commonwealth. It's possible to become addicted to some chems, which will result in decreased stats until the addiction is cured. To prevent addiction, the Chem Resistant perk must be leveled.
These are consumable items that are considered non-edible and not a chem.

The achievement Vault Dweller won't recognize achievement when equipping Vault 88 and Pip Boy on a Settler.[verified] Sometimes all Vault 88 dwellers all quit their assignments and have to be reassigned.[verified] 
ps4 xboxone
When choosing a location to dismiss an automatron while in a settlement, they sometimes may not go to the chosen destination, but will instead remain in place. Recruiting and dismissing again can fix it. [verified] ps4 xboxone There is a chance a built automatron companion might not follow the player and instead disappear. Recruiting another companion and sending the automatron to a settlement can fix it sometimes, although it is not guaranteed. If a robot workbench is available in the vicinity, it can be used to "call back" the automatron by choosing it in the first menu as if going to customize it, however, the robot needs to be nearby, which is not always the case. [verified] xboxone ps4 Sometimes, a constructed automatron can revert to its default parts (unarmored protectron) without warning or reason. Dismissed bots and bots assigned to a settlement are both prone to this bug. Parts added to the automatron are not recoverable once the bot reverts to its default state. [verified] xboxone ps4 Issue when scrapping the bed in Home Plate results in never being able to receive the temporary well rested perk.[verified] xboxone ps4 Issue when in build mode you may not be able to place many or all of the items you have access to even though you have required perks and plenty of resources and the build limit is not reached. Once you have this issue it affects all settlements. Deleting items makes little difference. Almost as though the game is sharing one invisible build limit for all settlements.[verified] xboxone ps4 While in third-person mode, with a weapon drawn, any small movement either with the left stick of a controller, or with walk enabled on PC, will cause any camera/crosshair movement to freeze for a moment. [verified] [2] ps4 pc Sometimes text options do not show up in dialogue and NPC comments that the player character has not responded. A response can be selected by pressing the correct button but the text doesn't appear. [verified] If player character changes their name inside Vault 111 before taking the lift to the surface, the player character can not walk off platform or enter the Pip-Boy. Looking, jumping, and shooting functions still work. [verified] Unable to draw a weapon, use grenades, or pull up VATS after fast traveling. Fixed by zooming out into 3rd person view then back into 1st person view. [verified] ps4 xboxone Assigning settlers to a resource can cause the whole settlement to reset forcing you to reassign everything, because the settlers will not self assign.[verified] Loading a save at the same time as the character would become crippled (for example by an explosion) will result in the player character also being crippled. If reloading the save again, they are no longer crippled.[verification overdue] The player character stops moving in 3rd person camera after walking or running.[verified] ps4 Random issue with being unable to reload weapons. Switching to a different weapon and back automatically reloads the weapon. Fix: Fire a bolt action weapon (such as a bolt-action pipe pistol or a hunting rifle) and reload the weapon. All weapons should be able to reload after that.[verified] When putting down items in workshop mode: if the item flips around too much it will become blurry, and can also cause the whole field of vision to become blurry. To fix delete the item and try to put it down again without flipping it around.[verified] xboxone ps4 Food resource structures will become unclickable and useless, and settlers will not acknowledge the item as a food source. Seems to only happen if placed too close to a another structure or food source and may clear on its own to reoccur later.[verified] Items may levitate off the ground and become unplaceable in the settlement workbench. This may be corrected by restartng the game.[verified] When reloading while moving in third-person, the character occasionally will continuously restart the reload animation until you stop moving or switch to first-person view. If this happens with a laser musket, the laser musket will continue to be cranked after each animation restart. [verification overdue] The Two Shot affix for legendary weapons has no accuracy penalty when aiming down ironsights, but it does when firing from the hip.[verification overdue] xboxone ps4 Settlement NPCs will not stand at their store/trade post but will still sell goods when found.[verified] Falling and immediately landing (e.g. walking off a ledge) while throwing a grenade can cause the landing animation to happen (often) while walking, interrupting grenades/mines and melee attacks. [verification overdue] Radiation storms interfere with bombardment causing them to have no effect. [verified] xboxone When loading a saved game, a very loud gun shot noise will sound just as you enter the saved game. [verified] ps4 In some rare instances the player will receive continuous health drop damage and be unable to fast travel/sleep/wait. This happened after fighting enemies with flamethrower at Saugus Ironworks. Fixed by getting the player character to purposely take fire damage. [verified] Glow-sighted weapons sometimes activate the same 'target tracking' as a recon scope if the enemy is sighted down it at close range. [verification overdue] xboxone pc Sometimes in build mode, if the player has resources to build just one of the selected item, it may not display nor will the option to build it will appear. Getting enough resources to build a second one will fix it. The glitch happens due to items in inventory that are quest items, but the items cannot be broken down to base resources, yet are shown in available resources.[verified] Certain items (e.g. vault Tech Hamper) in the workshop may not be able to be placed due to the game showing a lack of necessary resource items to create said item despite all other items using the same resources state you have more then enough to build the item. You may also notice the same (non-buildable) items showing different values of available resources (i.e. lower) for building compared to other items with like resource needs. This is due to the game mechanics not breaking down the required junk items in the workshop inventory to build said items and seems to be connected to all the Vault-Tec add-on items or possibly the Scrapper level 2 Perk. [verification overdue] xboxone When in conversation with a NPC, no options are displayed and conversation is frozen for a short period of time. [verified] [platforms tag needed] When you die while activating VATS at the same time. There is a possibility of you surviving with 0 health. After that you can heal and continue. [verification overdue] xboxone There is a bug with the Blitz perk where sometimes the player will not move but will still attack their enemy after targeting them in V.A.T.S. This usually occurs when targeting enemies from behind waist-high obstacles. [verified]
ps4 xboxone Switching between first and third-person while reloading will cause the animation will reset.[verified] ps4 Sometimes, an NPC may drop two of the same weapon upon death. After looting both weapons and looking away, a third additional weapon will appear in their inventory. [verified] xboxone Hostile NPCs (e.g. super mutants and raiders) may respawn in their "last died as" pose. They will have normal HP, stealth detection and possibly AI, but their model will be motionless. They can be killed through V.A.T.S or by directly attacking them; however, occasionally, upon killing them, their bodies will fly off and become stuck on nearby objects (or back in whatever they were laying on) making it impossible to loot the body. Attacking the stuck enemy with a weapon/perk that explodes the corpse into pieces (e.g. Cryolator) will make it possible to loot from the body chunks. [verified] Containers that have continuous random items may become owned by a random encounter NPC, after which any random items generated are owned by that random encounter NPC and have to be stolen. (e.g. dufflebag in back of truck next to Mass Fusion containment shed. [verification overdue] xboxone When you assign a settler to a job they won't do it.[verified] xboxone Unholstering a weapon or switching between them may not register for several seconds, effectively locking up the player's arms and making attacking impossible. If you attempt to fix this by switching to a different weapon it will not resolve the freeze but instead result in an almost lag like situation where the first weapon is eventually selected, followed quickly by the second. All other physical movement is unaffected. [verified] xboxone Any armor modifications that affect the player's movement speed do not apply in 3rd person. This includes standard movement, sprinting, and sneak speed alteration effects. [verification overdue] This bug can be most easily noticed by wearing a full set of armor with the "Sleek" armor mod applied to them and sneaking, or by modifying both legs of a set of power armor with the "Overdriven" modification and sprinting. If you take 2 or more small light boxes (may work with large ones, its just better to use the small ones for this) and pick them up at once, any wires connected to them will cease to be, you can move the boxes freely, which can be used to get wires up floors without building around to the stairs and such. [verified] Issue where dialogue will not activate when talking to a required character. Instead, it will say a random line. Ex: "Don't try anything, stranger." [verified] Upon returning to the game window after tabbing out, the screen may turn black. Audio can be heard but the game is otherwise unresponsive and requires a restart.[verified] In most cases, this is a failure of the graphics card drivers to re-initialize the game and the monitor enters sleep mode. Turning your monitor off, then on will fix it. When walking slightly past the East Boston Preparatory School in the direction of the Boston Airport, the game crashes to desktop. [verification overdue] When talking under water the game crashes.[verification overdue] When using multiple monitors with Nvidia SLI, the lower half of the view will have a dark band. [verification overdue] When using a single high resolution monitor (4k) with Nvidia SLI, the lower half of the view will have a dark band in certain situations (typically indoors, when there is a light source in view). [verification overdue] Disabling "Windowed" mode in settings with NVidia SLI enabled and using multiple monitors will cause crash on loading screen. [verification overdue] Moving power armor without parts to a power armor station then exiting and attempting to work on the power armor rig cause the game to crash to the desktop. [verification overdue] High FPS (over 110) can cause the character to become un-movable requiring a save reload after exiting a terminal. This bug may still occur with framerates under 110, but much less frequently. Some terminals are more inclined to produce this bug than others.[verification overdue] ps4 Game freezes when entering the Workshop Menu, forcing you to quit the game without saving. [verified] xboxone Game crashes to desktop or home screen when attempting to equip a companion with clothes that they are already wearing. [verified] Game can randomly lock up (image frozen and non-interactive) upon engaging in common actions like opening a container, unlocking a container, opening the Pip-Boy, entering workshop or entering VATS. The monitor screen itself is usually not frozen and the player can reach the desktop or task manager. Windows may behave normally while the game is locked, or it may become sluggish. The game unlocks after a while, but the problem gets worse and worse if play is continued, possibly leading to a hard freeze that does require rebooting the PC. [verified] When entering a building the game will start loading indefinitely.[verification overdue] The game may crash for no apparent reason when loading the game at the opening sequence. [verified] The game may crash to the desktop after leaving or entering Rocky cave and Cambridge Police Station for the first time. [verification overdue] ps4 The game may randomly crash after getting spat at by a Mirelurk Queen. [verified] The game may randomly freeze and stick on the loading screen, either while going in/out of buildings, or after clicking on the Map to travel. If you Ctrl/Alt/Delete and start 'Task Manager', then select Application 'Fallout4' then 'End Task', the game will not then reload, saying it is 'Already Running'. In the Processes tab, Fallout4 is still present, and quitting this may let the game reload, but usually the PC must be rebooted before reloading. [verification overdue] The game may randomly lock up upon exterior cells loading after extensive playtime ( i.e. 5+ hours ) or if xbox utilizes instant on function resulting in errors to possibly occur in the same way. Power cycle xbox if problem is consistent. [verification overdue] The game will begin to lag and show a dark screen with many white streaks when it rains. This usually means that your PC is unable to handle the graphics involved with rain. Occasionally the Pip-Boy texture will fail to load, rendering the in-game menu invisible, but tooltips and keyboard controls continue to work. This can be fixed by reloading from a quicksave. Hitting the escape key twice on a PC also works. [verified] xboxone When saving, the last save file at the bottom of the list of save files will appear invisible. The second to last save will also appear duplicated.[verified] Interacting with a usable settlement object (ie. the Sole Survivor using a water pump) while in the command mode of a NPC, may result in it being impossible to cancel out of both the command mode and the animation. This UI-locked state persists through saving and loading, and the Pip-Boy cannot be used to fast travel away. Loading an earlier save will fix this. [verified] While using a controller, in the pip boy's map, the cursor gets stuck in the edge of the screen. The only solution is to change from a controller to a mouse and keyboard. [verified] ps4 xboxone In first-person view the player character's weapon may disappear from the screen, even though the weapon isn't holstered. The Pip-Boy interface may be invisible at this time as well. [verified] After using a crafting station and exiting, the prompt to 'craft or transfer' will not appear until the player has moved the targeting indicator off of the crafting device, and moved it back. [verification overdue] Targeting Hud mod and using Berry Mentats (which have the effect of highlighting living creatures) may turn some NPCs, such as Paladin Brandis, Bobbi, Fahrenheit, Sinjin and the robots at General Atomics Galleria, hostile. [verification overdue] Targeting Hud mod may cause false caution when sneaking.(Fast traveling with this mod to Charles View Amphitheater seems to be the trigger of this bug) [verification overdue] ps4 xboxone When having any weapon viewed in the weapons tab like Experiment 18-A or Frag Grenade, the item rendering will rarely persist on the background in the Pip-Boy when you switch to other tabs or sections. [verified] If you have a lot of save files the intro movie and main menu may run at a low FPS (<10FPS). Opening the load/save menus in-game may also lag the game until the menu is closed. Culling the amount of save files can remedy this. [verified] Sometimes when opening up the pip-boy the tabs aside from Stats become unusable. Using keyboard hotkeys brings up specific tabs but they cannot be interacted with. Saving and reloading multiple times seems to fix the issue.[verification overdue] ps4 Equipping the targeting hud to the power armor helmet then exiting the power armor causes the targeting hud mod to still be active, highlighting living beings red outside of the armor. This persists even if the targeting mod is removed from the power armor. Another trigger for this bug is when a settler or companion enters your power armor (Tested on PS4)[verified] ps4Sometimes when bartering, the interface will show up but won't list any items and attempting to exit may not work.[verified] When using an Xbox 360 controller, holding [BACK] to enter the workshop disables the ability to look up or down until [BACK] is released [verification overdue] Diamond City Radio may stop playing, fixes include: waiting it off, tuning on another station, reloading a save via either quitting, pausing and turning the radio off, or sleeping for 24 hours in a bed. [verified] ps4 xboxone For seemingly no reason the character will not proceed to a crafting bench after activating it, instead the game will go into third person and the character will just stand there for a moment. If this happens while you are in third person it will render you unable to go back into first person unless you reload a save. [verified] After exiting terminals, the player may be stuck and will only be able to turn their head. This occurs whenever the frame rate exceeds 120fps during the exit animation. Capping framerate manually or enabling V-Sync may help. [verified] When accessing a terminal on a desk, the camera will sometimes move forward too much and cause the player to clip through the terminal and stare at the inside of the machine. The terminal can be exited, but there may be no way to view the terminal on subsequent tries without clipping through it. [verified] When picking up legendary items you already have an exact duplicate of in your inventory, the 'showcase' screen will not appear (When picking up multiple legendary items, only one 'showcase' screen is shown) [verification overdue] Pressing enter just when you exit a terminal while in power armor will make the camera zoom to much so you can't see the screen. [verification overdue] When you use the Pip-Boy, sometimes it won't allow you to exit out. [verified] Items collected or given from NPCs won't show popup notifications [verification overdue] Ex. Turning in technical documents, the popup saying how many caps you received won't show up.
xboxone Placing items on top of tables and desks, then leaving the apartment or building and coming back later shows the items stuck inside the table or desk sometimes falling all the way through. [verified] Dogmeat and Curie are able to push any non-static object out of the way when dashing, or moving to follow the player, including cars, which cannot be moved by the player even when wearing power armor. [verified] It is possible to bump or drag non-static cars into settlements using any mid sized weapon dropped and then held with X. [verified] When talking to a companion in a moving elevator it is possible for player character to fall through the floor and die. [verified] Sinking through the floor in Prydwen main deck. Also all objects are clustered together, like doors, stairs, and people. Can't interact while falling.[verification overdue] When using unsupported resolutions, such as a 5:4 monitor with 1280x1024 resolution, the lockpicking interface will be invisible. [verified] When using ultra wide resolutions, such as a 21:9 monitor with 3440x1440 resolution many of the games menus and hud rendering elements will be either streched or chopped off, of note is the power armor UI which will only cover 60% of the screen. [verification overdue][platforms tag needed] This makes the game unplayable for those with a triple monitor setup, because it is impossible to name the character during the playable prologue (the "name" section is offscreen, therefore you cannot continue). [verification overdue] Rain will some times only show up when facing a certain direction. Example, while walking north rain effects were present, but facing south and there is no visible rain. [verified] During conversations (particularly if wearing power-armor) the camera will be inside the player, making the conversation impossible to see [verification overdue] when mirelurk eggs hatch in close quarters, the hatchling might clip through obstacles and appear in other rooms, or fall out of the map [verification overdue] When trying to scrap items in "Workshop mode", if you are close to a large body of water, sometimes a glitch will occur, where the body of water will places itself over the character, and when you exit workshop mode, you can see/hear the water all around the character. [verification overdue] Children get scaled to adult size, when being in an idle animation (where an NPC leans their back to a wall, with one bent leg resting against the wall), when they leave the animation they get slowly scaled back to child size. Seen on Meg. [verified] NPC's body is scaled, except its forearm (making the bug obvious), making it look fat. Seen on Deacon. [verified] Sometimes when excessively set on fire, the player character will glow red and the effect remains, even after saving and reloading. Removing clothing will still cause the effect to remain on any other exposed body parts, such as the head or hands. Reloading to a save before being set on fire fixes this. [verified] Killing several enemies with a series of explosions, i.e. firing Big Boy at a car, will cause their necks to elongate. Seen with ghouls. [verified] Some companions, like Hancock, will turn invisible. [verified] xboxone Some textures will appear colorful in squares, a.k.a. "rainbow textures."[verification overdue] | Section needed This section is needed but has not been written yet. You can help Nukapedia by writing it. |
NOTE: Please place bugs specific to individual characters on their respective pages. This section is meant for bugs that apply broadly. Fallout 4 characters
ps4 xboxone Recruiting the level 4 settlement vendor found in Goodneighbor can result in glitching the vendor. He becomes unable to interact with the player and is stuck in a loop repeating the same line. Possible cause: not talking to him in Sanctuary Hills and assigning him a job[verified], or sending him to Sanctuary Hills then sending him to another location when he arrives. [verified] On PC latest patch, equipping settlement NPCs with armor then equipping them with the exact same armor that they are already wearing will cause an instant crash to desktop.[verification overdue] Companions may encounter issues where they will follow, but not run or fast travel. If they are too far from the player when entering a door, they will not follow through the door. The player can initiate speech but will not be able to enter companions inventory. [verified] ps4 xboxone NPCs will sometimes walk away from the player character mid conversation or even mid sentence. This will cause the conversation to end.[verified] Companions may begin to emit a sound loop as if they were using the sewing machine from the armor workbench. Save/load might solve the problem for around 20 seconds, then it returns. To fix it, command the companion to use an armor workbench and the sound should vanish. [verified] Sometimes settlers will get stuck in the "trade" mode. Constantly opening a trade window when you try to talk to them, locking out all other options. [verified] xboxone All NPCs (including inactive companions, brahmin, traders, etc.) will occasionally become stuck in an idle standing position, not moving through the map or attending to their tasks. Ringing the bell seems to fix this. [verified] NPCs will spawn in a "T" pose, and they will not move nor fight. The corpses are not lootable, do not rag-doll, and can be shot at with vats and using iron sights. Their gibs can be looted. [verified] Likewise, when entering or exiting a different cell, companions may become stuck in sort of a "T" pose. They will continue to follow the player, but will glide just above the ground instead of walking normally. This seems to cure itself after a few seconds to a minute.[verified] ps4 xboxone Caravan brahmin with large cargo will occasionally spawn inside houses, and are too large to fit through the doorway to exit, blocking the path through the door.[verified] xboxone Brahmin, caravan or otherwise, may also get stuck on a roof of one of the houses and remain stuck. [verified] ps4Some caravan guards spawn without clothes and end up escorting brahmin caravans in their undies with leather armor. [verified] Explosions can cause NPCs to be stuck at an angle instead of standing up straight, saving and reloading can fix this.[verification overdue] ps4 All settlers in a settlement will congregate at a random point. It seems like the crops are still managed but shopkeepers sometimes don't return to their shop, although it is still possible to shop with them. [verified] ps4 The companion will sometimes teleport to another floor of the building you are on [verified] Deathclaws in the glowing sea might clip through the ground (along with all their loot) if they are crouched low when killed, or curled up on the floor. [verified] Special trader settlers in some instances refuse to be recruited or go to a settlement. By using console commands they can be teleported into a settlement and assigned, but will wander off unless fenced into the trading area. [verification overdue] ps4 Companions and NPC characters will occasionally walk away while you are in a cinematic conversation with them, interrupting the dialogue and causing it to reset. [verified] xboxone ps4 Humanoid companions (Ex: Curie and Piper) sometimes disappear from the settlement they have been sent to, apparently vanishing from the map, requiring them to be teleported to the player with console commands. This may also occur when sending a settler to a settlement (Ex: Vault-Tec rep) [verified] Companion kills result in the 'cash register' sound, but no XP is shown to be gained [verification overdue] A humanoid companion receiving incapacitating damage from falling while enemies are nearby may not regenerate health once the enemies are dispatched, but will be able to talk with the player as normal. Can be solved by: Entering combat and surviving. Reloading a previous save. Fast-traveling away to another location. Shooting/hitting companion until they collapse again, then stimpaking them. [verification overdue] If you instruct the companion to enter a power-armor suit that has a stealth-boy upgrade while you are wearing power-armor with life-detect, you will still see the companion's outline [verification overdue] ps4 xboxone Followers pathing is incorrect in side several buildings, not allowing them to move in or out of certain areas. Vault 81 radiation room would not allow any followers that went in to go back out. [verified] NPCs may randomly teleport to somewhere else, including inside the ground. This will fix itself when you reload the save file. [verification overdue] When the player sends a companion to another settlement and immediately enter a conversation with said companion, the camera will follow the companion as they run to their new location. This is fixed by exiting the conversation tree. [verification overdue] Settlers sometimes "reset", losing whatever gear was given to them by the player. This can also include roles they were assigned. [verified] If you drop the Big Boy on the ground it will sometimes split into two parts. [verification overdue] ps4 xboxone Companions' path-finding will sometimes have them constantly rushing in front of you during a firefight, and have a strange knack for blocking almost every shot you make. They also have a bad habit of standing still in doorways during a fight. [verified] After successfully repelling a settlement attack the settlers may just repeat their "thanks for the help" dialogue, only giving you the responses specific to that and not allowing you to trade gear or barter with vendors. To fix you have to leave and return to the settlement, sleeping does not seem to work. [verified] Please place quest specific bugs on their respective pages. (Fallout 4 quests)
Please place location specific bugs on their respective page (Fallout 4 locations)
Local map is not shown at all. [verification overdue] 
App will not progress past "PIPBOY" logo on Galaxy Tab 10.1 after being installed.[verification overdue] If you lose health in Survival mode, then use a health item (Such as Purified Water), then switch back into Normal mode before it completely heals you, your health will still appear to regenerate slowly as if in Survival, but it will actually become negative. Any further effect on your character will kill them, negative or not. This includes eating food, taking a new perk, or acquiring a bobble head. This can also apply to any situation, regardless of the difficulty. [verified] This can be avoided by staying in Survival mode until the health item finishes its effect, then switching back after it's finished. The player character doesn't speak, his/her dialogue is skipped entirely. Happened during a conversation with Preston Garvey, the animation turned to the player character but no animation or dialogue came out of him. [verified] If you try and start a new game while another one is still active, freezing will occur. [verification overdue] Randomly, the XBOX ONE may freeze or kick you out to the load screen upon approach to General Atomics Galleria (usually when walking around the north side of the lake and coming upon the Galleria from the north). Often happens when there is a random enemy nearby to fight. [verification overdue] Damage can be miscalculated in VATS while hidden when sneaking. VATS will ignore the fact that the player is likely to be seen after the first hit and adds the sneak damage bonus to every hit in VATS. The real damage may actually be less than VATS calculates. [verification overdue] If you use 'pick pocket' to look at an NPC's inventory, it still counts in the stats as a pick-pocket, even if no items are taken [verification overdue] There is a bug while in workshop mode at Sanctuary where items are elevated while trying to place them, resulting in the inability to place items unless falling or at a lower position than target area.[verification overdue] There is a bug that causes all guns to do no damage including NPC guns. Reloading an old save or starting a whole new game will not fix this. This usually occurs after entering the Malden Drainage area near Taffington Boathouse, and exiting without opening the advanced terminal within. Fix - delete all saves that included this event, disconnect power to the XBox, wait 30 seconds and reconnect, allow cold reboot. Turn on and boot up Fallout 4, Reload from latest save and the glitch is gone. [verification overdue] When turning off the console, quitting the game, or opening another game or app the auto save will become corrupted, so it is advised to save regularly, and at the least have 1 back up save.[verification overdue] - February update resolve this issue When turning off the console, not the game, without opening any other game, app or quiting into the menu, and turning the console back on and opening the game, the game may stutter and drop frames to below 10 per second. Another common cause of this bug is loading a quicksave. This bug is fixed by fast traveling to any location. [verification overdue] Volume shorts out at random times during gameplay.[verified] Inability to shoot after exiting build menu too fast.[verified] Occasionally when Alt+Tab/Esced out of the game after returning menus will occupy a smaller area of the screen and the cursor will be off point, also affects iron sights (points to the right of center). Quitting to desktop and reloading fixes.[verified] Inability to access Pip-Boy may be caused by Steam Overlay on PC version. If one accesses the Steam Overlay using a combination that includes the tab key, but exits the overlay with a different key combination (such as hitting the Esc key), the tab key will become unresponsive in-game. This can be fixed by opening, and then closing, the Steam Overlay with the selected key bindings.[verification overdue] For some users when using VATS, Workshop, or upgrading the power armor, the outline glow of a highlighted object will be replaced with a static glitch that takes up the whole screen and displays the same color as the normal outline would show.[verification overdue] Invisible Body Protection. [verification overdue] Mouse pointer fails to appear on main menu screen if a controller is plugged in, keyboard cannot be used, and disabling controller has no effect ("no" switches back to "yes" on the controller option in the menu). Can be remedied by unplugging the controller or changing bGamepadEnable=1 to 0 in Fallout4Prefs.ini. [verification overdue] There's a slight chance the game will delete the quicksave making you load an earlier quicksave when quickloading. This might happen if you try to load too fast after saving or load too many times from the same save.[verified] There is a chance when using a terminal, you can become stuck. The character will not be able to move, but can look around and jump. In order to avoid this glitch quicksave before using any terminal. This issue may be resolved by using console command tcl There are some places that require terminals to open not accessible because of this glitch.[verification overdue] There is a chance when in settlements, any movement commands you try to give the follower will be unreachable.[verification overdue] After defeating a group of powered raiders and trying to repair the raider armor. UI would glitch and not allow repairs of items that it 'auto' selected after finish repairs on another item. This glitch did not always persist if one selected another piece to fix, but sometimes a piece remained forever unable to be fixed until you reloaded from a save.[verification overdue] Tab key stops working when accessing the Steam overlay (Shift + Tab), you cannot access the Pipboy (or exit it). Accessing Steam overlay and exiting with Shift + Tab fixes this.[verification overdue] Tabbing out of the window will sometimes cause the player to throw a grenade or eject a fusion core unless they had a menu or the console open. [verification overdue] Moving the mouse too quickly while outside of menus, such as in combat looking for enemies, may cause the cursor to leave the game window and pause the game when attempting to fire.[verification overdue] When riding a vertibird there is no control to jump out.

The game has a number of temporary companions that will only be available during certain quests.
Companion affinity is gained and lost with two varying degrees for both. Here is how the table below represents those changes:
ps4 A companion may become stuck in a reference pose position, flying around unanimated about 1-2 feet off the ground following the player character. The companion can be spoken with and interacted with in a normal manner, however the companion will not fight. Even loading a new area by going through a door will not fix this behavior.[verified] ps4 Certain sound effects can get "stuck" to companions and continue to play after said companion quit performing the respective action. Known examples include the sound of wielding a Ripper, firing a Gauss rifle and using the weapon bench's drill. When the bug occurs it follows the companion around, waxing and waning depending on their distance, and can neither be stopped by fast-traveling, reloading or taking the weapon away from them. It can, however, be fixed by closing and restarting the game. It is currently unknown what exactly causes the bug. [verified] xboxone Ada may remain with you even though you have just selected dismiss in dialogue, as well as the option of settlement won't pop up. [verified] When sending a companion to another settlement using the workshop he/ she will not go there straight away, and bringing the settlement choices back up will show the place still as an option to where they can be sent.
