Happens when I use a computer terminal. Everything in the terminal works fine, but when I exit back to my character, he is unable to move. I can look around and click on things, but the WASD movements keys stop working. If I reload the game, it goes back to working, but as soon as I exit a terminal again, can't move.

There seems to be less of a problem if I use the mouse to click on option within the terminal screen instead of using the arrow keys to navigate (and TAB to exit), and then exit. Sometimes I can still move after that, but not always.

The arrow keys and tab always result in the freezing, the mouse only sometimes.

Try, with the console, ~EnablePlayerControls

?

Didn't do anything.

I also tried rebinding the movement keys after frozen, but that didn't work either.

Also, I noticed after I become frozen the "use" key doesn't work anymore either. It makes a clicking noise, but I can't, for example, log back in to the terminal that's right in front of me.

In Skyrim this sort of thing could often be fixed by opening the console and entering:

enableplayercontrols

Yeah, assuming there's the same 'ol console, one would hit the '~' key, type said command, hit enter, then hit the '~' key again.

Does not work.

So I rebound my "move forward" key from E to W, as the default in the game has it, and that fixes the problem. I guess the solution is don't rebind anything to the E key. I use autohotkey to manage my key bindings now, but that is still annoying as hell.

Edit: I was wrong, this did not fix the issue. Still broken.

I'm having the exact same problem. But i havent touched the key bindings at all.

I take this back. It's still doing it. This did not fix the issue.

OMG. Same damn issue. using the Overseer's Terminal. my character freezes and I am unable to progress. I Tried using mouse to click the options and not the keyboard. this worked 1 time, however I only stepped up to the terminal and didn't open the door, so it was of no use for progression. After opening the door, 100% of the time my character is freezing, I can jump and draw a weapon but nothing else. support ticket submited

WORKAROUND:

connected my xbox controller and set video setting to windowed. This worked for me.

FIX: Run game in Windowed Borderless.

Was still having problems. Further testing has found that this problem is not solved with the xbox controller. Problem is caused by running in full screen and can be fixed by running the game in windowed borderless mode.

Is anyone getting severe FPS drops when switching to windowed? I was having the same problem, and I switched to windowed borderless(which works), but it dropped my fps from over 60 to the mid 40's.

If the problem is persisting, try restoring the game's INI to the default settings.

Haven't tried this yet, but duly noted, thank you for posting. My issue is that I run in 1440p, which I can't do in windowed mode. Is there a way I can run in windowed mode and still have a 2560x1440 resolution?

I've read this bug is caused by high framerate. Apparently it doesn't happen at 60 fps.

This is indeed a refresh rate bug

I always get stuck in terminals IF my monitor is in a refresh rate of 144hz (gsync enabled)
Changing the refresh rate to 120hz in windows AND going into nvidia control panel > Manage 3d settings > and changing the "preferred refresh rate" from Highest Available to Application Control fixes this issue for me.

I can 100% reproduce this by changing the refresh rate back to 144 and it fixes again when lowering it again to 120 and making it application controlled in the nvidia control panel.

People are talking about some fixes on reddit, it seems to be Gsync related... didn't work for me to tweak the ini, just disabling GSYNC.

But I think this should be fixed from Bethesda, don't wanna play without gsync, it's awesome feature..

I just had this problem, i couldn't move after using a computer and i had to quit the game, i also have a 144hz monitor, so is this the same as Skyrim don't go over 60.

Edit - to fix this i had to cap my fps to 60, using Nvidia inspector.

same problem here, 60hz monitor however....

windowed mode worked BUT my gtx980 will only do up to 720p in windowed mode....?

Just want to say that I am having this issue as well. This is really sad having to reload at every terminal. It started happening in vault 111. I have the latest drivers from nvidia and I am using windows 10 X64, and 1 GTX 980 classified.

Using a 120hz monitor with adaptive v sync @ 1820 X 1080(native) to 2715 X 1527(DSR)

Please fix this!

I too, am playing the game with a gsync 144hz monitor. I will try adjusting the settings down to 120hz tomorrow. It appears that nvidia has released new drivers as well, so maybe it was their problem and not bethesda's. we will see.

same issue here

I have same problem. Everytime I use a terminal my character gets stuck.

Just can not accept that I have to tune down graphic to console level. What is the point in a PC version if you can not use PC quality?

This really need to be fixed, since it is a rather game breaking bug, not being able to use terminals.

Kind regards,

This is not acceptable please fix or expect me to demand a refund so I can go buy the console version which was actually QA'd. How do you miss this? It happens AT THE VERY FIRST TERMINAL IN THE GAME
