I haven't played the game in a while and there's a reason for that. The GD Pip-Boy bug!!! I had forgotten all about it until I felt like playing today and as soon as I went to open my Pip-Boy while not in Power Armor I got reminded of why I stopped playing.

WHAT THE HELL!?!?!? Is Beth going to fix this friggin' bug? It's actually game breaking. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's the bug where your Pip-Boy disappears. Yeah, disappears. Like it's not there. You try to open it and it's just a blurred out screen. Your arm doesn't even come up. But you can open your Pip-Boy if your in power armor.

I've tried all the fixes that are listen online. Workshop, third person, player.inv, I've even removed all the power armor frames, hell one of the damn fixes had you remove all you had in your inventory and put it in a container. My f#&(& character is now naked because I can't put F&*$*& clothes on!!. Nothing works. As a last resort I'm downloading a mod that adds a different Pip-Boy. Hopefully this works. I doubt it.

So, Beth, are you going to fix this?

Have you tried returning to Vault 111? I don't think it would help but what if vault 111 reset and you retrigger the cutscene?

I have not. I'll give it a try now. I'm to the point that I'll wait till the DLC starts coming out then I'll restart the game. It's just disheartening to restart sinc ei Have almost 230 hours invested.

Just tried it. Nope, didn't fix it. In fact this goes beyond the Pip-Boy too. I can't hack robots either because it doesn't bring up the terminal.

Try player.equipitem 21b3b

if for some reason with a player.inv you don't have a pipboy type

player.additem 21b3b 1

player.equipitem 21b3b

It's happened to me a few times. When I change from first-person to third-person and back, the Pip Boy returns.

When it happens to me, I just save the game and load the save. It fixes it for me. I'm not sure if I have to quit the game before loading the save, but saving and loading that save does fix it for my game.

ETA. Also make sure you don't have your pipboy open when you save the game. If you switch to your weapon which should also be invisible and holster it then save the game and load the save it should fix it.
