Broken Pip-boy screen

I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a while now and haven't come up with anything. My Pip-boy screen shows nothing. It looks like it is turned off but I can still select stuff that would be on there. Like I can change weapons and stuff, I just can't see what the hell I'm doing. It happens across all my saves. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess is this was caused by a mod. Reinstalling using the game uninstaller will not fix it as the game uninstaller doesn't remove mods. Just unchecking a mod doesn't remove it either.

 

IF you made a backup of the data folder before adding any mods swapping the data folder for that one would be an easy way to see if it is a mod.

 

If not, then make that backup copy now, before reinstalling. Rename the data folder to something like \data_11-6-11 That removes the data folder entirely from the game, along with the files needed to play the game - so it will not work. Also, rename the save games folder the same way to keep from losing any of them.

 

Now,reinstall and it will create a new /data folder with just the files required to play. Go ahead and start the game and test it. Then before adding any mods back that data folder up - instead of renaming, COPY the data folder into a new folder - with a name like /Data-original.

 

If it works, you have a fall back data folder to use for future troubleshooting. And you have a list of the mods in your old list that you can use to reinstall - while keeping an eye out fr the one that caused the problem.
