I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but along with the lag issues everyone else is having, I'm having a problem with hardcoe mode.

I started a new game because I did not like the outcome of one of my choices. ( I was playing hardcoe and didn't have a proper save) I started over again selecting to play hardcoe.
After about an hour of play, all the while getting the message "took a sip from vault 13 canteen, blah blah" kept appearing I decided to check my stats. Sleep, Food, hydration ( water w/e) we're still at zero.
I figured it may have been that way because I leveled, but several minutes later still nothing changed.

I know for a fact I was playing in hardcoe because those specific stats are only available on your Pipboy in HC mode. I even switched the option a couple times to see if it changed.

I'm really disappointed because I like the way my character is going and would hate to start over.

Has anyone else seen this? Any advice?


Also starting another new game or reloading the game did not remedy this.

I just encountered this myself. Except my sleep is stuck at like 75 or something. No amount of fast traveling or sitting around has yet to make my meters even move.
I still haven't tried to start a new game to see if it carries over to it as well.
