Fallout 4 Bugs

Achievement bugs

 * War Never Changes - Achievement did not unlock after leaving the vault and entering the wasteland.

Crashing, freezing and other hardware- or software-related issues

 * Game random crashing/freeze often enough to make game play frustrating. Using Beta version seems to have resolved this. See instructions here http://gearnuke.com/fallout-4-download-1-1-30-beta-update-fix-pc-crashes-related-xaudio-drivers/#

PC when talking under water the game crashes.

PC: When using multiple monitors with Nvidia SLI, the lower half of your view will have a dark band. Band disappears when looking up or down but is prevalent when looking forward. This does not seem to occur outside, only indoors. Setup is dual Nforce 770's in SLI, 3372X1920 across 3 monitors. Ultra game graphics settings.

PC: Custom resolutions for multiple monitor setups require editing Falloutpref.ini file. Disabling "Windowed" mode in settings with NVidia SLI enabled and using multiple monitors will cause crash on loading screen.

Menu-, HUD-, inventory-, and radio-related bugs

 * Settlement UI for food resources can glitch out displaying duplicate food icons for plantable food and some plantable food icons may disappear but is still selectable.


 * Occasionally the pip-boy texture will fail to load, rendering the in-game menu invisible, but tooltips and keyboard controls continue to work. This can be fixed by reloading from a quicksave.

Physics engine glitches
When talking to your companion in a moving elevator it is possible for your character to fall through the floor and die.

Graphics glitches
When using the "TCL" Console command in Diamond City, all characters nearby seem to have disappearing eyes.

Dangerous Minds
Sometimes after leaving the quest in the memory den, you can get stuck with the memory lighting effect. This causes a desaturation of colors, and turning many things grey or blue, as well as adding a distinct blur to the foreground.

Glitch at Thicket Excavaiton
Upon arrival at Thicket Excavation there seems to be a foglike low-res concrete-floor, hovering above most of the real surfaces, and it persists under water.

This manifests in that both you and Sully Mathis wade kneedeep in concrete, Sully always hover around the compressor/pump), before you suddenly fall into the water or access-way leading down into the excavation.

Tried to restart game, as others had suggested, and also loaded a save from before venturing to the Excavation-site. But the glitch still persisted. I have to add that allthough I loaded an earlier save, I passed by the Thicket Excavation much earlier, so it already marked on my map.

Possible bug in Pulling the Plug
I found all the faucets, some of them behind "low-res walls", closed them and reported back to Sully. I got the honor to push the button, and fought of the new arrivals, and got caps and gratitude from Sully and XP for the quest. Quest is marked as completed in quest-log, but last sub-part is not checked.

Problem is that the waterlevel does not decrease, and I vent back a couple of days later an it all looked the same. Talking to Sully sounded like he was repeating his lines from before I started the quest.

Gameplay bugs

 * High FPS (110<) can cause character to become un-movable requiring a save reload after exiting a terminal.
 * When subtitles are on, conversations can become 'stuck' on screen with part of the conversation subtitle remaining while the conversation continues. Text is removed from screen when conversation is complete. Happens on Xbox One, PS4, and PC
 * Sometimes text options do not show up in dialogue and NPC comments that the player has not responded. A response can be selected by pressing the correct button but the text doesn't appear. Happens on Xbox One and PS4

PC only bugs

 * Tab key stops working seemingly randomly and unable to access PipBoy or go back in the menus with it.
 * Pressing the ESC key to get back to main menu, then return back into the game can fix this, without restarting game.
 * Going into the trade menu and clicking the "TAB)EXIT" button on the bottom can fix this.
 * Inability to access PipBoy may be caused by Steam Overlay on PC version. If one accesses the Steam Overlay using a combination that includes the tab key, but exits the overlay with a different key combination (such as hitting the Esc key), the tab key will become unresponsive in-game. This can be fixed by opening, and then closing, the Steam Overlay with your selected key bindings. For a more permanent solution, please consider rebinding Steam Overlay to a combination that does not involve Tab key.
