I'm hoping the issue of not being able to get past the cryo pod part is actually wide spread enough that a patch might be available by next week

Same thing happened to me and was solved by tirning my console off and on again.

Fyi rhe first achievment War Never Changes is given once you enter the wasteland. On steam as of thia morning 99.9% of players have gotten that achievement. Meaning on pc atleast, this is not an issue.

Doesn't happen with first character it happens who try to make a second one

I had it happen, but I deleted all my saves and started a new character and got past the cryo pod just fine.

Doesn't help if you want to play more than one character at once, I know, but atleast you get to play the game.

We solved it with just closing out fallout 4 all the way and then going back in.

This game is a joke. Polishing the game my ass, FO4 was rushed out the door, and Bethesda had the gall to say the game was completed ahead of schedule.

I've gone through the opening five times with no problems at all. Haven't had any problems at all in about fifteen hours of play with diffenet characters.

similar.

havent been through so many times. 3 times to try different builds.

works just fine.

hard reset of the xbox one works wonders. (unplug from outlet for 30secs or more. not to be confused with factory reset which deletes everything!)
