Xbox One only bugs

PS4 only bugs

PC only bugs

  • Tab key stops working seemingly randomly and unable to access PipBoy or go back in the menus with it.[verification overdue]
  • Pressing the ESC key to get back to main menu, then return back into the game can fix this, without restarting game.[verification overdue]
  • Going into the trade menu and clicking the "TAB)EXIT" button on the bottom can fix this.[verification overdue]
  • 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.[verification overdue]
