Pip Boy Disappearing Forever(Usual Methods not Working)
Right now I cannot bring my pip boy up no matter what I do. I have tried all the usual methods that fix it like pressing v, reloading the level, and opening VATS. I have also tried verifying my cache and reinstalling the game. At this point just done because I can only play with my pip boy app. Lastly, yes my video drivers are all up to date and I am running a GTX970. If you have ideas let me know I'm desperate.

i have the same issue, the first few times i got it back by various methods, but now its gone! if you find anything please share the info
I know this problem too ... i fix it by simply pressing Shift+Tab twice to open and close this ministeam menu of somesort or pressing ALT+CTLR+ESC and then reopening the game. And it works for me atlest. So how about trying that? Unless you already tryed-

Had the same thing happen. Used F to change weapons to something else. New weapon appeared, then TAB and pip boy appeared again. Don't know why it worked but it worked for me.

Same thing here. Was doing a mission and died. When I spawned the pip boy disappeared including weapons.

I tired that yesterday and didn't work. So far it's still broken.

Just tried it...and no luck. I have no idea what to try next besides restarting a whole new game/save

I am having the same issue none of the fixes are working. HUD still working inside my power armor though so I can still play but it is super annoying

Ya I have to play in power armor most of the time unless I use my phone as pip boy.

Hey anyone still needing help?
Nurz Nov 15, 2015 @ 12:14pm 
Yes, i can not find fix.
Alex C Nov 15, 2015 @ 12:16pm 
ok here is a fix in-game you willneed to open the console command and enter this "player.additem 00021b3b 1" then after that add "player.equipitem 00021b3b 1" obviously without the qoutations. hope this helps. please let me know!

You can use middle mouse for zoom out and zoom in again (1st / 3th person view) it fix the problem 100% for me even if it hapen rarely.. also fix problem with npc traders when they've nothing to sell and your inventory look empty as well...

First thing I tried 5 days ago but doesn't work with this issue now. This problem is wierd because the usual solutions(on google and such) won't work like they did.

try roll the middle mouse to go on 3th view and roll back in 1st view instead of just clicking middle mouse for change the view , i had the same problem than you before but not anymore since i started roll middle mouse instead of click or use "v" !

I'm with Kuro... This seems to be the most consistant and reliable way to solve this problem, i.e. 1 to 3rd person then back again. Works every time.
