Radiation bug?
So after the last "maintenance" I started to notice there's a problem with my radiation counter. I run a bloodied build right now and saw that sometimes my rads are completely stuck, when I get some more rads the meter moves a bit but after a few seconds it just bounces back to what it was. Only way to fix it is to completely get rid of the rads and re-radiate. Anyone else had this happen?

Its protection offered by the servers

essentially after fast travel, loading the game, and a few other things you are invulnerable for a time

can't drown, can't add rads, can't take damage, etc

the easiest way to fix it is to fire a bullet, taking hostile action immediately turns it off

then you just eat some delicious toxic goo

The other alternative is that you are playing on an extremely distant server with a poor connection and the server is rubberbanding you back

See I thought this as well initially but when I played on my own private server the same problem persisted. it's like it's stuck at about 30% HP and 70% rad, when I take rad damage it moves a bit as normal but the moment I stop taking the rad damage, the meter just "resets" to that 30/70 counter. I tried a couple of things and the fix I used initially doesn't seem to work anymore either. This is a completely new bug since the maintenance for me, I've never had this before.

check your gear and perks

you could have ones that negate radiation such as sun kissed

For me when this happens it's because of the buff you get from puting prime meat on the grill when doing meatweek.

Jumped about 3 times and now it's working normally again. It does seem to be something with the servers. At least I know how to fix it now!
