Thanks, I will try out the memory fix first and report back later. Very curious issue, I remember you from last time, you were very helpful.

First off, I hope this is in the right section. I'm not a frequent user of this forum. Not sure if any one remembers me posting this a while ago (hence the badly-named thread title). I had an issue which I couldn't quite work out. Basically all my controls will stop responding out of nowhere. My character will start moving differently (his arms stuck down his sides and running like he's dancing a jig, as I'd describe it), my mouse buttons stop working (can't bring up PipBoy, equipped weapon, aim, etc) and my keyboard becomes unresponsive (escape doesn't work, neither does quick-saving). If I'm in first person, scrolling out with the mouse wheel causes my character to flicker where you can briefly see him in third person. Well it's still happening. Since my previous post, I gave up with it and stopped playing NV. Only recently I was missing the game, so I started playing again, hoping the issue had resolved, but no. It's still there, kicking off randomly when after I've played a lengthy amount on a new save. A couple of points that I think are relevant: 1. It happens on a new save (I have several hard-saves, though I usually start over when I install/remove mods). When I started playing again I started fresh saves, I also removed some mods I didn't fancy anymore and installed some new ones, starting fresh each time. 2. No errors listed in LOOT, no mod conflicts, I carefully install mods and test them out, and remove mods that don't work. 3. I get no problems early on in a new save; 100% of the time when it's happened I've been level 15+...this may be a coincidence, but it's happened like that each time...I have no problems up until I've been playing for several hours and levied up a lot, and then it starts occurring. 4. I don't have an overload of large mods and I don't install rubbish, mainly small fixes, tweaks and additions. I do run the game with FNV4GB as I have a large graphic overhaul mod as I find the vanilla graphics/texture unappealing, and I also have NVSE as I use a few mods that require it. 5. I have FOOK which is one of the bigger mods I have, I'm wondering if that's part of it, whether the game's camera is conflicting with FOOK, or if there's a line of text in the game.dat (I believe it's called) notepad file that's enabled and shouldn't be. Again these are my speculations so they're just "maybe it's this...". 6. It's not hardware related. My mouse is virtually new and my keyboard, though I've had it for a while, works 100% and does not play up or have connection issues ever. Everything's connected correctly to my PC and I don't use plugged-in controllers. This time I recorded it in action using my tablet. I had to do it with one hand as I couldn't find my tablet stand, plus it was late at the time, so please excuse the average recording quality. I also quickly ran the video through Sony Vegas Pro and added text, in yellow text (best option I could find) on the screen giving details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW00y0mUXKI In the video I was in the Deathclaw Promontory (as you probably worked out), just happily killing Deathclaws when the issue started up. I was level 27 or so, the longest I've ever played without this weird issue happening. I cut out the remaining 20 seconds or so of video, as it showed nothing of interest apart from me backpedaling away helplessly from a Mother Deathclaw which had magically spawned after I reloaded a save, and since I can't do anything with my character except for slide around awkwardly I force-closed the game. I hope I can get this sorted. If you wish to have more video of it happening then let me know, and I'll go and record some more of it when I have the time and upload it to YT and link it here.

Yes, I do use LOOT. I found it after experiencing this issue the first time, so I installed it in hopes that it helped me out.

I've had this mouse for a while, and as stated earlier, I've had no issues with F:VN until now, when I've got to level 20. I've had this issue in the past, and I wiped all my mods and reinstalled the game, and then added most of the mods I had back, minus a few that I didn't care for. I managed to play for long periods of time without any issues, hours on end sometimes, until out of nowhere this starts happening. I'm not entirely convinced that it's a hardware issue, as both my keyboard and mouse function as they should, and my pc fans are cleaned frequently.

I have a steelseries keyboard and a Razer Deathadder mouse. I played again today and had 10 minutes of normal gameplay, until randomly when I selected my thompson to kill some Deathclaws in Sloan Quarry that the issues started, right after I selected the gun and closed the pipboy (can't zoom out, can't bring up pipboy, can't crouch, can't draw weapon, etc). I don't use game controllers so there's none to unplug and no settings changed to cater for controllers. I typed EnablePlayerControls into the console and hit enter, that did nothing. My computer wouldn't need rebooting as I started playing right when I booted up for the first time today. I verified the game files, but that obviously didn't help. Next bit of help I can try and offer is to film it happening, so it's more clear. I've attached a screenshot of my load order, in case there's anything wrong there. So now I'm thinking it's either a mod issue or a hardware issue (the latter would be curious as I've experience absolutely no problems up until now).

I don't think it's due to too many mods; I currently have 18 .esms active and 37 .esps active, all seemingly in the correct load order as the game launches and runs fine, and I can load all my saves.

I've been hit with an issue that's happened before and I don't know what it is or how to fix it, so I've decided to come to the forums and see if I can get any help. It's hard to explain what it is and it sounds odd, but I'll give my best description. Basically, out of nowhere, I get hit with...something...that has the following effects: - I can no longer zoom out (I just get a flickering stutter when I scroll with the mouse wheel and I can see my character briefly during the flickering), if I'm already in 3rd person and try to zoom into first person the same happens, and my character runs with his arms by his sides as if he's standing still (that's not how it's meant to look when you're moving) - I can't bring up my pipboy (nothing happens when I press the assigned button on my mouse) nor can I draw my currently equipped weapon - If I have a weapon drawn I can't put it away (nothing happens when I press the assigned button on my mouse) This makes any further gameplay impossible, as I'm stuck like this and can only quit the game or do a quickload. If I do a quickload, everything goes back to as it was before (ie everything working fine) until out of nowhere it will start happening again. This may be a mod conflict, but up until now the game has worked fine and I've got to level 17 or so with absolutely no issues at all. LOOT doesn't display any conflicts or errors. Any help would be appreciated. It might be a common problem that's easily solved, or it might be something that's new. I have no idea. Worst case scenario I can try and film the issue in action so it can be seen actually happening, providing a solution doesn't arise.
