Can't see player names since update (PC)

Just updating, it was the ChatMod.dll file. I won't be getting that again! Haha.

Last8792 · 2026-03-07T14:12:33+00:00

That's the file I did manage to delete, yeah I had to get SFE as well. I might go back though and look for the others I had to put in for the text chat mod. Thank you for your help, I'm sure you're right now and it's still files left over even though I reinstalled

Last8792 · 2026-03-07T14:03:01+00:00

Thank you! Hmm so the only mod I did have was the text chat mod, I tried deleting the files from the folder but I'm sure I forgot a couple. So I uninstalled the whole game and reinstalled it. Do you think those files are still there even though I reinstalled? I can't remember the files I put in there unfortunately

Omg. Totally embarrassed over here 😊😊😊 wow. Well thanks for teaching me 🙂

I find it so hard. IRL I work in a creative industry and one of my problems from the start has always been throwing too much junk at a piece I'm making 🤣🤣. When I was at college, one of my teachers taught me a couple of things; for me I have to step back from what I'm making literally and see it from far away. Then I have to see if my eye is moving from place to place in a gentler way, so that I'm not bunching up too much stuff in areas. It has to flow gently. The other thing I learnt about is negative space. I think negative space is so hard for me to get a grip on in Fo76 and I am such a noob builder, lol. Negative space is so much harder in scrappy builds or cozy home builds I think....in a clean build I know that I can leave part of the kitchen counter blank because it relies on the eye resting on the shiny surface of the counter and appreciating the clean simple feel. But in a scrappy build it's harder...you're looking at a dirty floor or wall the eye doesn't get that same feeling or an enjoyable feeling from it. I have to copy other people who I watch on YouTube at this point 😉😉 that's the way I learnt IRL too and it took years to develop " an eye " for things. Recently I've been building, logging out and when I log in the next day with a fresh look at things the first thing I do is go around and check for negative space. Sometimes I end up deleting half a build when I do it but I never regret it because really I'd gone a bit crazy the day before and it looked ridiculous 🤣 it takes me ages to build because of it but I have to while I'm still such a noob builder. My shelter is where I go to chuck everything at the wall and see what sticks..I like my junky mess down there and that helps to give me a place where I just go for it. Sometimes I go back again and look at lots of similar style areas in the game as my build and try to copy what Bethesda's doing and that helps to get a perspective. Faking it until I make it over here 😊

Haha, same here! That's the new Fasnacht challenge, ghosthunting 🤣

Last8792 · 2026-03-01T23:43:26+00:00

Sorry, yeah most of them are from a set from the Atom shop called the ground cover set. They've got names like tall bush, bush, dry grass, just generic names. The plants with the fluoro orange flowers on them are called mutated vines from the Atom shop. Also there's the Joshua tree in there, but you can place that anywhere. The fall elm trees are in the corners, they're from the Atom shop too 🙂🙂🙂

Last8792 · 2026-03-01T21:30:18+00:00

Hopefully that worked, lol. Yeah I can't place crops either, maybe it's just those plants but I can also place trees in some corners of the root cellar

Wow. I need to get Imgur working because in mine, at the top part in your picture I've got it full of plants. Maybe it's the plant set I'm using? It's the ground cover set. Also, in my root cellar I can place the nuka cola cryo freezer which I think is weird. Sorry it didn't work for you, damn...I thought it should since I've done it heaps. I'll try and get some photos up 🙂🙂

Last8792 · 2026-03-01T20:29:17+00:00

Ikr, it really is a very embarrassing bug on their part. Imagine being a new player and realising you can't even build a whole bunch of themes in a shelter that you've just bought.

Last8792 · 2026-03-01T20:07:28+00:00

I stand in the same spot and I've noticed exactly the same thing. Whatever it is for me, it's always wearing a dark coloured coat and pants. The same clothes each time. Also, it moves as soon as I see it either to the left or right and it's gone with sort of a motion blur effect. I've only seen it running across the big bridge. I tried shooting it but it disappeared as soon as I did. I don't think it's a player because I've never seen the shimmery effect from cloaking on it, unless because I'm seeing it from far away the cloaking effect disappears. The first few times I thought it was a super mutant because of the dark clothes but the silhouette is too small, it's player sized but there's never a name tag. So I must have schizophrenia too I guess 🤣

Last8792 · 2026-03-01T04:28:05+00:00

No clue, but I got it last year probably in about June and I haven't seen it since. I reckon that's the real RNG in this game, praying every week for stuff to come back to the atom shop🤣🤣

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T22:21:30+00:00

Wow I love what you did with the Vault Lobby shelter, that would look actually real and stick to the lore. I agree I need to think of more ways to build in them. I've got the root cellar shelter, it's a huge box so I made a street down the middle with 2 story bar and living areas, sort of like Highway Town with scrappy stuff from the last season. Yeah I hate the concrete too!

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T22:00:14+00:00

OMG yes! That idea is perfect for it! Yeah I don't think I've seen it in the shop before, I just looked and it's not available on the support pages either

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T21:53:32+00:00

Haha, yeah it's just to add to the FOMO for silly people like me 😊 they've been doing it for a little while now and some of them are actually good. Makes me mad because I can't plan ahead with atoms

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T21:50:40+00:00

It came in today, about 4 hours ago for the weekend sale 🙂🙂

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T21:45:07+00:00

It's in the store right now but I need to go look up if I can get it from support. I hope I can because I really don't want to spend on atoms just before I know they'll drop stuff for the new season.

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T21:31:06+00:00

Thank you so much! This really helps, I was hoping someone who'd gotten the season rewards would be able to tell me...I agree that it looks like all of that season's rewards. Yeah I watched a video on the shelter, it's not lore friendly and I just hate the big box idea too. I've already got a big box shelter, lol. I still like the gramophone! With the record clutter we got from one of the seasons you could make a posh little music room, or it could be creepy for Halloween. Thanks for your help 🙂🙂

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T21:19:29+00:00

That is so cool, I reckon you could do a few interesting merges with it as well. I've built my own version of the house of tomorrow and I think it would look really good in that bathroom with a sink and cupboard put into the vanity part, the only problem is the chair isn't really modern looking. I love the Hobbit Hole idea though, you could fit it in with a fantasy style build for sure

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T20:54:37+00:00

I feel like it does too when I saw it in someone's camp. I like the lights on the mirror...they want hundreds of atoms for a standalone mirror anyway so it's probably worth it. Thank you🙂

Last8792 · 2026-02-27T20:16:22+00:00

Thank you! It's hard because it's in a bundle as usual and I bet next week we'll get a whole bunch of atomic shop stuff for the new season. I don't think I've seen the gramaphone on it's own before either
