Invisible Pip-boy.. 2nd night like this

Post » Sat Nov 28, 2015 4:51 am

Okay so it all started like this...

I was doing the BoS questline and got in my fresh new Power Armor suit and cleared Fort Strong. I then decided to switch it up and continue the main story, and found the Railroad. While I was still in the power armor suit, i wanted to change my guys hair and face up a little bit so i went in the Command console and hit (SLM player) and did what i had to. Then when I got back to my base I didn't want to wear power armor anymore, so i got out of it and boom, the pipboy wasn't even on my wrist. i can pull it up and navigate the menu with the keys and what not, but its completely invisible. I have literally tried everything, updated my graphics card, quicksave then quickload, change my pipboy colors, get in different power armor suits, nothing, nothing at all fixes this and its really annoying me. I have to use the app to play and its just very annoying and quite game breaking. None of the solutions have worked for me and this is my second night doing this, i was glitch free up until this, and it svcks.

Anyone have a concrete fix, or will i have to wait for a patch?

edit 1: loaded my first save in the beginning of the game, and the pipboy is there and everything, i feel like my character is just screwed now. great job

If the Pip-Boy becomes invisible after you exit power armor, you can fix this by exiting the power armor, going to a workbench, transferring over whatever clothes your character is currently wearing,

then get back into the power armor and exit it again.

Your Pip-Boy should now start working again and you can re-equip your clothes from the workstation.

When my weapon does this switching to 3rd person fixes it, then I go back to 1st. Have you tried that?

Yessir, I think it's a super weird bug with getting new power armor or some [censored]

My Pipboy has vanished several times and just [F5]/[F9] fixes it.
