Game soft locks when entering power armor
About 1 in 5 times i go to get into power armor my game likes to soft lock. the hud goes away and im just staring at the power armor. I can still look around and press ESC to open the game map but i cant do anything else. SOMETIMES it will let me fast travel but that causes wierd animation bugs until i manage to get my char to actually enter the power armor.

It’s always been there, but after the update last week I have it 75-80% of the time.

Just be patient and it should catch up.

i waited a good 15 minutes this last time then just closed the game down and went to play something else for a bit.

yeah its a bug, it only happens when i enter power armor but not all the time. Just played for 5 hours without any issues tho i avoided PA during this time.

2 things. One: don't have an (Ultracite) Gatling Laser equipped when trying to enter PA. Two: Manually insert a core via transfer instead of the automatic option.

There must be some special circumstances, such as the scenarios Mooman suggested. I have been switching between three characters to do the events, switching once I have too much legendaries and the machines don't have enough scrip, and two of these characters are PA users. Never once got this issue. Guess I'm lucky.

Hm. Quick/stupid suggestion, have you put your PA in your inventory then take it back out before reequipping it?

it happens right after i deploy it from my inventory and when i find new ones when out exploring.

Actually there is a third bug. Entering unowned PA can freeze. Had it happen today when I hit E instead of transfer to scrap some PA parts.

The difference there was in combat at the time and couldn't fast travel as ESC didn't work but control returned after about a minute.

I think a new batch of bug scenarios have popped up due to attempt to patch out PA duping exploits.

Edit: Another thing that seems to help is to be closer to PA when you attempt to enter. Deploy then walk right up to it before hitting E.
