Nooooooooo! my favorite game on the planet is freezing on me! everytime i hit the hotkey it freezes i have tried deleting the original game it froze on and it didnt work it is affecting all of my saves pleas fallout gods will you make a patch to get rid of this blight on my free time... i dont want to cry at night knowing that i can never play my 50 hour game again... i was just getting started and i bought the expansion... Bethesda please make my time and dedication to you work it! if anyone knows how to fix please message back.

I had this glitch happen as well. I put everything I had hotkeyed into a container and backed out of that interface and then picked it all back up. This cleared my hotkeys and seems to have fixed the glitch as I no longer have any issues assigning or using them. Hope it helps

Is there an exact date for the patch release?

this is not a glitch that is the end of the world but it means i can't hotkey anything =/ and after fallout 3 it is second nature to link stimpacks and backup weopons to the D-pad. everytime i need to heal, "press left and ... oh [censored] .. i didn't save ... DAMNNN!!!"

I hope the upcoming patch fixs this, in my new game i am deliberatly not using hotkeys so that this does not happen.
