I'm having a bug where suddenly, in or out of combat, my character 'freezes.' I know it's hard to explain, but basically, I can't shoot, can't bring up pipboy, can't go into vats, can't reload or basically do any other action besides move, but everyone else is moving and acting as normal. This occurs for about 5-6 seconds and then I'm free to act as before. I see a lack of threads discussing this issue and wanted to know if I was the only one getting it, is there a fix out there, or is there something wrong with my game?

Just to let you know, when I say 'freeze' I don't mean in the performance/low fps sense. I'm talking about my player's actions. This is the single most annoying bug I've encountered in FNV. Characters getting stuck, running into walls etc are not nearly as annoying as this.

Are you using the Cowboy Repeater, coz I`ve just read a buglist and someone was having the exact same problem, but only when they used this gun.

Hmm, I use it very often so that may be why.

I could've sworn it's happened with the hunting shotgun too but I'm not sure. It definitely happened once with the 10mm pistol (regular one), I remember when I first encountered the bug it was with that gun.

This happens to me whenever I reload with the Cowboy Repeater or Hunting Shotgun. It is annoying as hell and causes me to die often.
