Looked around for a bit and I didn't see this at all.

I have an intermittent issue. This happens maybe once or twice an hour.

I am unable to loot, open the pip boy, enter VATS, or aim/scope. When I try, I get the same click as I would when hitting the "e" key for the use item.

I left click to shoot, and then I can do all those things again.

I have verified game files with steam, and every time I do it will find 1 file failed to validate and will be reaquired. I have revalidated approx 5 times now.

Any ideas short of reloading the game?

Sorry, and problem started after the 10 Nov patch. Did not occur before.

Are you using mods?

Dont worry about reverification the file is a false positive.

Negative, bone stock game install.

What kind of mouse keyboard do you have? Are they wireless?
Can you post a 64-bit dxdiag? You could try updating your mouse and keyboard (if it has any) drivers.

I have the exact same issue and when it pops up I quick save then quick load to allow me to loot/VATS again. To describe what i'm seeing: I use VATS then on exiting VATS, I cannot scope, use VATS again, interact (it gives the negative interaction sound) and I seem to warp around a bit. I can shoot unscoped and move about.

I suspected it was an issue with dual monitors as it feels like everything is off-center post-VATS. If doggwa and I are having the same issue, it's doubtful it's a keyboard/mouse failure as the input devices continue to input, the game just doesn't act as expected.

Q6600@3.0, 4 gigs, 4870, win 7 x64. No failures in my dxdiag and happy to upload it later if it helps.

I experience something similar, but only when using the Cowboy Repeater. My theory is it has something to do with the click to interupt reload function.
