Primary Bug Report Hub of the Problem - Terminal is misaligned and not usable by player

So, I wanted to see if I could read the entries on Maugnisson's terminal (however it's spelled) at the Vault-Tec offices after Jake was done with it...and I can. Sort of. For some reason, when I enter the terminal, my view is placed too low, so that a portion of the top of the screen is cut off. I tried to take a screenshot, but it wasn't working. However, I'd estimate something like a quarter of the screen is cut off.
 
I noticed in two characters now that Ben Arnold's terminal and the Magnusson terminal don't sit in the screenspace like vanilla terminals, and realized me being in windowed/borderless might be the cause. Those terminals sit high in the screenspace resulting in being unable to see a good portion of the upper terminal.
 
Any updates on this? I've only encountered this issue with this particular quest, in this particular location. Doesn't break the game for me or anything, but it's irritating as all get-out.
 
Its a simple fix adjusting the terminal marker's z height, but I do not know if it will mess with the scene. I'll report it.
In the mean time, this will fix allow you to read the terminal.


Its an optional file named SS2_MagnussonTerminalFix.esp
 
Just registered to say that I had this problem too: the camera pans lower than the computer terminal when selected.

Thank you for the temp fix!
 
Without the Fix you will have issues. I would suggest you not use that mod if the fix is unavailable to you.
This really sucks, I'm over 30 hours into a new game with this mod. You would think they would either fix it or take it off the mod store. I'm too far into the game to start new. Guess I will just try and avoid parts of this mod until it's fixed (hopefully it will be eventually)

The SS2 wiki says not to use that mod without the patch or any other mod that alters the dialog camera so there is that.


Extended Dialogue Interface (XDI) [Patch Required]

That's the problem though, I don't have that mod or any other mod that alters the cameras. I have SS2 and the weather mod. This post didn't say anything about the mod that the patch is for originally, the patch was a suggested fix via the comments that just happens to work for some people.
 
Do you have the dialog camera on in the base game settings? Usually this is related to that being the issue. Its been so long it might of even been fixed in a patch. I haven' heard about it in a long time. Looking back now you are right this is an old thread that died in March. So more info of your Load order might be needed to diagnose.
 
I suppose if you ask really nice, I'll try to figure out how to port my terminal fix to xBox. I don't have an xBox to test on though. It would be Buyer Beware!
 
I am also experiencing this issue. I am not using Extended Dialogue Interface, but I am using Full Dialogue Interface. I am using the latest version of SS2.
 
FDI patch? As far as I know, FDI does not require a patch.

XDI requires a patch. (in my sig)

The Magnusson Terminal Fix is stand alone. The only master is SS2, so anyone can use it. It was something I made so I could read the terminal entries. I tacked it onto my patch page because I'm lazy and did not want to create a new page. ;) (and if/when the SS2 team changes one number on one form I will be able to delete this)

Edit: If someone wants to release the Magnusson Terminal Fix on BethNet for xBox players, go for it. I give full permission for anyone to do so.
