After a long haitus from playing the game, i fired it back up the other day, before the update, i made a mutant, roleplay, non-joppa start, and can't access the inventory, journal, tinkering, status, equipment, etc screens except abilities, but when they "would" be open, i can't move my character, as if the window was open, i could hit esc and begin to move around again.

I thought it was a mod. removed all mods. nope, same deal.
made a copy-character, no change.
verfied integrity of files. everything cleared, still no inventory window appearing.
unplugged controller, no dice.
Reinstalled the game, still no change.

Update came, i updated, tried again with old save, no, newly made character in normal mode with joppa start, still no inventory visibility.

However, If i use modern UI, i can see it, but i don't like using the modern UI, i want to use classic.

On using numpad 9/7 to change between the 'invisible windows', i noticed it even said "loading skills.xml" momentarily but still didn't display anything.
