Armor rack bug

[Jack T]

Hi,
Has anyone seen the Armor Rack bug when the USE option appears when entering a settlement preventing you from doing anything else than interact with it? The only way I know to remove is to go to main menu and reload the game. It's been doing this since for ever but I guess it never bothered me more than that. Now it does, don't ask me why. So if anyone knows how to fix this, that'd be nice.
Before anyone asks, it's got nothing to do with mods.

its not only the armor rag, it can happen with other items too, defense turrets are sometimes very prown to this bug too. or some farmplants. but yeah mostly armor rack. sometimes it helps to swap to build menu and out again, but mostly its best to save and reload. to me it ever only happens in settlements where i already build a lot. so its somehow related to the mass of objects in a settlement cell i guess.

I only have the issue in Sanctuary, but I'm not sure I ever used an armor rack anywhere else. Never had the issue without turrets and plants though, hope I won't have it. And when I open the build menu, I can only interact with the armor rack too. Save and reload for me is the only fix I know that works.
I love this game, be hitting the 1000th hour soon, but man the more you play the more it breaks.

another bug that is similar is that i sometimes get over long times interaction choises in the wild with no npc near (sneaking around and getting the choise to pickpocket from a mister gutsy that exist nowhere around as example) . to get rid of this kind of bug i just must move a longer range and the choise disappers.

never had that one yet... I had a fun one in both F4 and Skyrim, one you really hate unless you need to max your xp... Enemies spawining endlessly as you walk to your destination!

I am just encountering this for the first time with a single armour rack placed in the same room as the workshop and power armour station in Jamaica Plain.
The interaction range seems to just be extended and it does have a limit. It does not cover the whole settlement. Also, anything placed in the armour rack behaves normally, even when it is obscured by a wall.
When it comes to interacting with settlers, they will react normally when faced in first person (zoomed in) mode, but if you are in 3rd person zoomed out mode, the reticle needs to be placed above the settler's head. This may be normal but you don't notice it when there is no tool tip for "armour rack" everywhere else.
In testing for this, I also learned that you can use a water pump to clip through walls. Time to see if I can breach the castle armoury without Ronnie Shaw and the Old Guns quest.

You might not want to do that. Or at least have a save you can load after trying it. Location-based triggers may not have proper protections to only activate at the right time. Going someplace you aren't supposed to yet can cause issues.
