Stuck while accessing a terminal.

[ZERO-FIVE STARS]

So have had this issue like 5 times so far and decided to ask if there’s a walk-around for this problem.

Sometimes, when trying to access a terminal, the character gets stuck behind a companion/chair. First time it actually happened like 10minutes into the playthrough. On my way to meet the minutemen, I grabbed the dog at Red Rocket and continued with the quest. Had to grab a fusion core to access the power armour, but when I clicked on the terminal, dog decided to get in the way and basically it was a game over. All the inputs were disabled, no UI. The only thing I could do was load my last save and re-do all the unsaved progress.

Is there a walkaround for this? Because saving the game every time before accessing a terminal ‘just in case’ would be pretty annoying.

Might need to rein in your frame rate to 60fps - 72fps or thereabouts for this title. And/or look into the High FPS Physics Fix on Nexus (requires Fallout 4 Script Extender).

Not sure this is gonna change the character getting physically stuck behind an obstacle.

I might not’ve been clear enough about what the issue is. The character is trying to walk to a terminal, but because a companion/obstacle (such as chair) is in the way, I’m stuck in place behind that obstacle. The companion also doesn’t move when this happens so I’m just stuck behind them with the walking animation.

And because I’ve already pressed the button to access the terminal, during this walking to terminal animation all the inputs are disabled (except for the ESC key) so I can not access the pip-boy for example to travel elsewhere, cannot talk to my companion to ask them to move away.

yeah that's a messed up scenario for sure. you say this has happened what, 5 times now?
that's why I recommended HFPSPF - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798
Fixes a problem of stuck NPC and getting stuck when you access to the terminal and power armor.

If all else fails, use TCL, then simply walk though ya companion, turn it off and try again. This also helps when u get stuck in the loading animation, trying to access a terminal.

Will I still get the achievements after using this command? Some games I know block your achievements after using console cheat commands.

It won't mess up your achievements.

What fps are you running FO4 at? likely what's hanging you up, as I don't have that problem.

Haven’t checked but I’d say around 200, depending on the area, graphical settings are on high.

Have just googled and seems that it might be some fps issue afterall. First time I come across a game where a game-releated bug occurs because of your fps lol.

I was having random issues when running at 120 fps. I now run at a locked 60 and such issues no longer seem to occur.
I used the iPresentInterval=2 to help to do that.

That will certainly cause issues. Not just with terminals, but with dialog sync and lock picking going too fast and several other issues. The game was meant to be played at 60 fps. There are mods however, which can adjust that.

"Walkaround?" That's a new one. I think you meant "workaround," unless this is some new regional jargon.

The action of using a terminal is supposed to time out and return control of your character.
If it does not do so then open the console and click on your companion:

14.moveto

If you have no companion in the room then you can use this command to send you back to Sanctuary (or use the current cell name to COC to(may have to chekc wiki to find it int eh technical tab))

coc sanctuaryext

It absolutely will.
