After shooting in VATS, some controls become erratic:
- Pressing the Interaction key, even if there is an object nearby, gives the error sound sample
- Weapon quickselection doesn't work, and neither does VATS
- Reload works, but I couldn"t put away my gun
- Shooting doesn't work, but leftclicking returns everything to normal. If I pressed V before leftclicking, and the enemy is still in sight, it automatically goes into VATS.
- When leftclicking to normalize the game, no shot is fired
Movement, quicksaving and -loading and goint into the ESC-menu all work. Haven't tried accessing my Pipboy.
This error first occured in the REPCOMM base, were it was persistent, and has occasionally popped up since.

I have also problems with VATS. After activate VATS and pressing "E" my pc restart or have BSOD. I have actual drivers on my GF 7900GS. I can't play like this!

This is the reloading-weapon bug. Most single-bullet-reloader guns cause this, like the Cowboy Repeater.

Most people have this issue, and it is known, and is being worked on for the next patch.

The funny thing is, it was a more minor, lesser known bug, that fewer people had issues with, and with the last patch they hoped to fix the problem. Instead it caused the issue to begin happening for those that did not previously experience the bug, me included.

Just get in the habit of pressing the left mouse button to shoot, which normally gets the snag to clear, or changes weapons.

There's also a Mod out there that fixes the reload animation, to fix this issue. I have not tried it.

Switching to melee weapons helps alot. But another alternative is a couple clip based weapons that'll cover medium and long range, like the riot shotgun and sniper rifle. Also I've been having an additional VATS issue. Occasionally my character will get stuck in VATS doing nothing while the target/s beat on me til dend while I'm forced to watch in slo-mo. This has happened between shots fired, before shots fired, and after shots fired but without vats closing.

That was it, actually. Thanks.

After Patch 1.2 i got this:




and this:






bug too. The second bug only does happen if a "reload action" is in the queue. So after a reload the char seems to wait for something.

In addition... If I change the ammotype of may cowboy repeater and i don't have enough ammo of the type i switch to I got stuck in an repeating reload animation. Only changing the type back again solves this.
