Stuck at automatron master control terminal - bug

[Smoak Wolf]

After speaking with the Mechanistic I have to use the master control terminal and unlock with the password, however after pressing the button I just end up in stuck in a walking motion towards the terminal with nothing happening. Anyone know a way to fix this?

Necroing this: it seemed like there is an invisible chair before it. I've moved to the other side of the room and used a console command: 0100aa38.moveto player
This moved the object and I could use the mainframe.

There are two other ways to make it work. One is use the console command, tcl.

Or walk to the left of the terminal and half way between it and the left robot typing away. Then click on the terminal. That is how I have did it the last 3 times I have did that quest.

To get pass this you just crouch and get as close to it, it worked for me twice back to back

Stuck on objects, always try the console command TCL.

not sure if i just got lucky, but i crouched as i went up to it, and it worked for me.

Super late to the party here, but running in borderless windowed mode solved this issue for me.

This same thing happened to me a LOT when working on power armor in a power armor frame. I had lost a complete power armor set once because I had left the fusion core in and an attack happened and the first thing one of the Raiders did was steal my power armor. Killing him didn't help as the frame was long gone as well as two or three pieces of the set when I looted him. From that point on I was anal about removing my FC upon exiting PA.

But, when I was done working on the PA and tried to put the FC back in, the player character would do this little jig from left to right then center to put the core in... and it got stuck there LOTS of times. Only way I knew to fix it was to always leave the FC in when modding or repairing my PA. In fact now, I always just keep one PA frame with an almost expired FC in it at all times and just carry the pieces I need to that PA station, do the work, carry them back to the original frame and no more dancing the jig at all.

It's also happened to me at the beginning of the game in the Museum of Freedom when I would go to hack the terminal to get the FC behind the locked security door.

It seems to happen just because of that little dance animation, lining up to a terminal or a power armor frame.

Bit late, but i just got this bug and using the tcl command to eliminate collision worked for me. No need to change refresh rates.

You are a fing hero!

Yeah ty this did the trick, after like hours of crashes (mod issue I finally solved) It locked up at the terminal and you saved the day.

Yeah I have a 144hz monitor but use Nvidia Inspector to limit frame rate to 78 on FO4 to get around the terminal bug, but it still happens at this part on the Automatron DLC for some reason. I tried several times and it seems I was able to get around it by standing to the far right of the terminal and as far back as I could when assessing it.

2024 and this is still a work around.

Had this bug too, and just a few hrs ago, getting the loop walk to the terminal, I alt tab to desk top to google this problem, going back to the game I got into the screen lol. There is also a work around shoot the 2 robots above the terminal and that should clear the area so you can use the screen

I've gotten a similar bug when interacting with various terminals, like the one in the Museum of Freedom in the lowest level with the fusion core. Just open the command console and type "tcl" to turn off collision when that happens. Usually waiting will eventually sorting it out, but if you're impatient or it just doesn't want to fix, the command will do the trick every time. Once you're done with the terminal, you can type it in again to re-enable collision.
