Invisible Pip-Boy Bug!
My Pip-Boy is permanantly invisible. I can still open up the pip boy and mvoe around in the menus and select stuff like normal but I only have audio cues to go off on as the entire thing is invisible. The one in the power armor is still visible but you can hardly do anything while inside the armor.
I've tried pretty much every thing people have mentioned but it still remains invisible.
Does anyone have a fix for this that isn't one of these since none of these work for me.
  • Quicksave and Reload
  • Enter V.A.T.S.
  • Get a haircut
  • Get surgery/cured/healed
  • Lockpicking/Hacking
  • Quicksave/Save and Reload while talking to someone
  • Switch between third person and first person
  • Give the pip-boy back through console commands
  • Change Resolution
  • Change FOV
  • Change Display
None of these work for me and it still remains invisible. Please Fix this soon as the game is unplayable like this.

Q: How did this happen?
A: I got out of my power armor except this time I was fully naked and had no pip-boy.

I dont know if it matters, but I made sure I was nude at the time I did this.

Equip then remove all the available power armors:
player.equipitem 3E577
player.removeitem 3E577
player.equipitem B1C09
player.removeitem B1C09
player.equipitem 140D7B
player.removeitem 140D7B
player.equipitem 1909D1
player.removeitem 1909D1
player.equipitem 1909D5
player.removeitem 1909D5
player.equipitem 1909D6
player.removeitem 1909D6
player.equipitem 198B13
player.removeitem 198B13

Your arm should now show with out the Pip Boy, now equip the Pip Boy:
player.equipitem 21b3b

Have you tried to reload an old save?

I have none. All my saves take place after this bug because I was trying to fix it. The only save file I have before the bug took place was when I left the vault. I've already spent over 24hrs in-game so I don't want to redo everything I've done.

This guy here explained EXACTLY how it happened to me and he also seems to have the same problem.

I literally have the exact same problem. Haven't found anything similar except your post. I don't know whether to use my friends save or go WAY back to one of my own :(

I have exactly the same problem, I can't find a solution :/
Rhyzak x Revy Nov 14, 2015 @ 3:27am 
I couldn't find any solution to this fix. Thankfully I had File History turned on and went through the Previous Versions of the save folder properties and found a save that happened directly before I got the bug. I have the pip-boy back now, but this isn't even a fix. If you have File History turned on as well then I'd suggest doing the same. Hopefully they patch this soon.

goto a settlement, and get into the workbench building mode, then switch out of it. I had the invis pipboy bug happen to me, and that got it to go back to normal

i have this problem on xbox as well. And its not just my pip boy. its also my power armor...about half of it is not visible. lol. the fusion core is just "floating" in air where the armor would be

For me, doing a "proper" save (not quicksave) followed by a reload of said save saw my pipboy visible once more. Hasn't happened again since. Wasn't doing anything special or different at the time to cause the error, just took a peek at my map (invoking it via the "M" key, rather than the Pip-Boy "Tab" key) and was invisible.

Scoob.

this is how I fixed it. thankfully i was in a settlement when i noticed.

so, i had the extra power armor suit...i realized that even though i seemed to be in partial power armor gear, some how i wasnt anymore. i found that out using the pip boy app on the phone. i noticed that in my inventory was the t-45 pieces. lol. so, i tried arming them and it said i had to be in the armor to use that item. went back to where i left the other suit and blammo! i could enter it. then i stepped by out and my pip boy works and i'm in the leathers again. now to figure out where the other armor actually went to. i was trying to use the power armor workstation in Lexington when the bug hit me
Seerk Nov 14, 2015 @ 9:06am 
The way i fixed it: going into third person and then back into first person. Don't know why, but it works.

Exact same problem here :'( so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying too

Hello, I have this problem: When I noticed bug, I loaded my last save. There is my pipboy working, but when I enter power armor, it totally bugs. I noticed, that it still thinks, that I am in power armor, because when I punch it sounds like power armor. I need help, this is my only save before that happened and I dont want to play whole game again. Its same as in the picture, I have tried anything, but this is deeper bug than just for example from Seerk.
