Can't enter power armor

[FluShot]

It's on the screen but when I hit E to enter the uif flashes and nothing happens it will not let me enter the armor.
Anyone else had this happen?
I also logged into my account with a different pc and it was the same.
I just don't get it everything else is working just fine.

So power armor is a bit buggy, I find when first claiming a suit in the world, it bugs like that 90% of the time.
Just wait by it for a minute and it should let you in, it might take 1-2 mins though.
And when putting one down I wait for the beep of the fusion core starting before I try to climb in, it can still bug sometimes, but if you can open the map fast travelling can return the armor to your inventory.
*edit* The more server lag the more patient you may have to be.

What level are you?
What level is the armor?
Have you previously been able to enter it?

Level 135 t-60 armor I think- have some mods.
Everything was working 2 days ago.
I'm stumped.

The only thing I can say about Power armor usage in 76 (I use it regularly) is to make sure there is a core in the PA chassis beforehand, don't let the animation happen that inserts a core. doing this seems to fix most issues with entering the PA.

(Open it like a container and manually place a core in chassis)

[insert food here]

As mentioned always put a core into the PA frame by placing it down and using R to access the inventory same as you add remove pieces on the frame. Add the core this way. Never do it via the press E prompt as it can cause issues.

Also make sure where you place it is on perfectly flat ground. Also try another PA set if you have one available.

I have a dedicated full time PA character and i barely ever get any of the issues mentioned by many players. No clue why but i suspect that server issues give many players a very different experience.

It is fixed.
I had to de enquip and store all my stuff in the stash box then reequip and reload.
Weird .
Thank you all for the replies to this thread.
I hope it can help others who have simmaler problems.

I have exacly the same BUG, from yesterday I cant get in to my power armour, I have level 315, Im using this PA for whole 300h+ and from yesterday I cant get in to my Power Armour. Im mashing button - nothing happen,Im trying to get by R menu and put core- same...nothings happen. I was trying diferent angles, STEAM files check also were done, swap PA not help at all, all my chasis with others set(union, T60, T45 etc) I cant get in, for some time it help when you will find new PA chasis with partially used core (not much energy any way) then you will move your PA part into new chasis and then you can get in and play till your core will get 0, then even when you have 20 fusion cores in you inventory- PA do not use automatically other core just only you will get really slow. After getting out from PA same effect start as on begining = no possibility to get to PA, NO ANIMATION OF ADDING CORE TO PA , No possibility to add core by Inventory menu and No possibility to getting IN Power Armour. Devs pls fix it ....

I'm not sure why you can not just open the Chassis inventory window and just move a core into the chassis inventory, but if this is happening you need to contact Bethesda about it.

I was trying your method and no success :( could you please describe a little more what you have done?

ok, you know how when you open (Transfer) say a suitcase you get an inventory window to interact with, you have your items on the left and the containers on the right. Just move a core from the cores in your inventory to the container (Chassis). The chassis is a container in the game, the cores and armor pieces are listed inside that container (chassis).

Sorry, I do not think I can explain it more clearly, hopefully, someone else can. (I'm not huge on social skills)

What ive done now and it works :) is:
I put all my fusion cores from my personal inventory into stash, so no cores at all on me, after - close stash, open pip boy , use your power armour, get into your PA= bang....your champ get into PA without mounting battery animation, core meter show 0, and you can move, go to stash take few cores and its work :D, With rest of PA also work and now possibility to get in any PA without core turn on proper core instal animation. Any way thanks for brainstorm :)

During Moonshine Jamboree (Mutated Resilient), I was unable to use any of my chainsaws; left mouse click had no effect. I was able to block (right mouse click) and fire my ballistic weapons (left mouse click). So, I stepped out of my PA and finished the event because my chainsaws *did* work outside of PA.

After the event, I could not enter *ANY* PA just like OP. So, I quit the game and restarted my PC and FO76. Still, no joy- I could not enter any PA. Using "R" to manually install a fusion core did not work- no animation and no way to transfer a core either. I did try different fusion cores (34 were fully charged) by dropping them one at a time, but none of them worked.

I was going to trash all of the fusion cores I was carrying, then I decided to try RECHARGING the cores. I 'recharged' one that was already at 100 for a few seconds, then inserted it using "R"- it worked! The fusion core install animation also worked. I was able to enter the PA, and the chainsaws worked. I ended up running the other 33 fusion cores through the recharge station and checked each one- each one now functioned properly in the PA even WITHOUT using "R" to load them manually.

I found this thread after finding my own solution (recharging). Simply putting it in the stash box may work just as the post above reveals, but my problem was fixed already and I could not test it. Putting it in the recharge station may have had the same effect as putting it in the stash box.

There was another PA problem that I had- parts of my T-51b PA kept disappearing- not visible on the frame or even on the pip boy. The pieces *would* show on the Legendary Script Machines. Upon game restart, the pieces would appear in the pip boy (I never lost them), and I could reattach them to the frame. But, when I entered the PA, random pieces would disappear again. I had to stop using my T-51b. After running all the fusion cores through the recharge machine, I was surprised to see my T-51b was complete AND I could enter it without any pieces disappearing during many events last night.

I got this bug twice today. Its annoying if I'm entering an event. Placing all my fusion cores into stash worked one time as well as taking all the armour pieces out and putting them back in again.

Can confirm that moving Fusion Cores out of your inventory into the stash, then back again seems to work.

It also seems to help with the gatling laser bug where it will stop firing even when that core is still far from empty. I do this regularly about once a week and I get the firing bug much less then I did before.

here's what worked for me. after trying to figure this out for hours on end. putting your cores away in your stash and getting in the frame like someone stated (lerch2000) above does in fact work. hope this helps anyone else out and prevents any headaches in the future
