I've started 2 different characters & have run into 2 different pipboy problems. 1st character grunge around edge of scree makes many areas unreadable. Can barely see through to see weight being carried. Can't see several areas in lower right where all the stats for weapons and armor are.
2nd character pipboy seemed ok when I first picked it up, grunge was there but it was easier to see through. Saved the game, went back to character 1 just to compare. 2nd pipboy screen definitely better. Went back to 2nd character save & pipboy screen was so dim as to barely be able to tell it was on at all. Everything else looks fine in both games.
I have screen shots of both just have to figure out how to upload them. Help section is decidedly unhelpful. My Media button just opens a window with no media & no obvious way to add any.
