Put in fusion core, suddenly stuck

[rexthebuizel]

I'm experiencing a glitch where I try to put a fusion core in my Power Armor and 1. it doesn't put the core in and 2. I don't enter the armor and the HUD disappears. I can still move my mouse and look around but I can't move or do anything except bring up the pause menu.

I'm at a loss because this literally hasn't happened in the entirety of the playthrough I'm on and I've already put cores in at least 5 other PA frames. And suddenly, this one frame is bugged out. I haven't tested if my other frames are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ now but this one frame definitely is, which sucks because it's got my X-01 set.

I can't imagine this glitch is caused by anything except for this one single frame to be bugged because all other frames worked beforehand, and I don't have a single mod that modifies PAs either. Just survival mods (playing in Survival btw).

I recently got a similar glitch where I got stuck because I tried putting the core in form the front. I ended up using a 14.moveto command to move myself to my companion to get out of it.

Are you attempting to put the core in while facing the front of the PA? I use to have issues if I did that, The past runs and the one I am on now, I go to the back of the PA and then do it. Not had any issues doing it that way.

Yeah, I'm putting my core inside right in front of the core position, not the front of the actual frame itself. Aka, I'm not doing anything weird. I took an old 2/100 core out and wanted to swap it with a fresh new one and it bugs out when the insert animation finishes.

EDIT: Uh... the bug isn't happening anymore. My new core was put in and the animation didn't bug out. I suppose this is solved? But I still don't know why that happened just a few hours ago. I wanna keep this up to try and find an actual solution in case this happens again.

The game does that on occasion with stuff. Not just your particular issue. Reloading usually will fix it. One day, I could not use I to bring up the inventory or M the map. Tried to tab to open up the Pipboy and that would not work. Restarted the game and it worked fine.

Glad it fixed itself for ya.

Similar to the issue when accessing terminals that are obstructed (e.g. by a chair). Usually Alt-Tabbing out of the game and back in fixes this. Worst case, repeat 2-3 times. Always worked for me in the end, on terminals and power armor alike.
