Not gaining companion affinity, glitch? Help!

[Justin_760]

Hey so I noticed that the companions stopped liking my actions,at first I thought it was only with Hancock, taking chems, lockpicking, and other actions he likes were no longer triggering the affinity point gain. But its also with numerous other companions, piper does not respond to lockpicking either. The only time I ever see the "liked that" notification is when talking to NPC upon turning in/accepting quests.

Has anyone else encountered this? How can I fix this glitch? Clearly my game is bugged, and its making the process of building affinity with companions arduous to say the least, I get a single "liked that" point boost every hour or so of gameplay, and only a single time during a big quest if Im lucky.

mods?

There is a cooldown between the changes. If you rna a mod that changes the timescale it would affect this as well.

Some companions become locked until you complete a certain quest for them (Curie, Valentine, Cait, MacReady.)

Simply spending time with the companion increases your affinity. As there is a bonus on the initial swap form one to another,

I've also noticed sometimes that companions enter this quiet state, usually when you transition from one area to another. If you see them slowly walk up to you, I would avoid combatt or running away from them. Maybe the affection gain sign will return after they have spoken to you. I know I had this issue with Deacon and Piper while indoors on a quest/mission.

Also sometimes the messages in the upper left just stop. I have noticed this on survival with satisfying thirst and hunger.

Gonna necro this because that's exactly what's happening to me right now. Even with Hancock like the OP.

I've slept 24 hours, closed game, loaded old saved. Nothings giving me affinity notifications.

Even tried shooting dog meat till everyone attacks me and not a single affinity popup message.

Playing ps4/ps5, vanilla no mods.
