Q: I didn't receive / I lost the Bullet Time activator item!

A: The console command cqf slowtimequest giveitems will return the two items to you.

Q: The Bullet Time activator is being consumed when I use it and Bullet Time doesn't activate.

A: Scripts aren't running in your game. If the packaged BA2 version isn't working for you, this is a sign of a deeper underlying problem with your game! Similarly, all scripted mods in BA2 archives won't work in your game, which means that you won't be able to get any scripted mods from Beth.net either (because all mods on Beth.net have to be in a BA2 archive).

The most common reasons why scripts may not be running are:
1. SlowTime - Main.ba2 is missing from your Data folder.

2. You are using a really old version of Fallout 4.
    -> Support for scripts in BA2 archives was introduced in Fallout 4's 1.5 update. Versions prior to 1.5 will not read scripts from BA2 archives.
    -> Update to the latest version of Fallout 4 available on Steam.

3. You have incompatible INI changes left over from older guides for enabling modding.
    -> Visit Fallout 4 Mod Installation for a guide on the latest recommended settings.

    At beginning of game it says bullet time activated. Yet it is not in inventory to config, etc.
    None of your solutions typing in console work. It worked before loading adult mods that were updated. I had to delete all of them because I was unable to start a
    new game.
    That is when Bullet time wasn't usable. I can play older game and bullet time still works and the config is in my inventory...strange new games do not have?
    Maybe a update is needed?

    I have a strange issue that only happens sporadically. I will press my hotkey for bullet time, but there will be a significant delay before it actually activates. It will also take a while to recognize when I press it once more to just turn it off. I was thinking at first that maybe since my hotkey is on my mouse, my mouse button might just be defective. I switched to another hotkey on my keyboard that I know has no issues, and the problem went away for a bit before it happens at least once every couple of hours of continuous play. The vast majority of the time, everything works great, but it is a pretty regular issue I see whenever I play. I don't think I am having a BA2 issue since I have other mods that are also in that format that I do not have issues with.

      Thats just the lag generated by the mod, try turning it on and off repeatedly and your game may crash.....

    Is bullet time affected by V.A.T.S. perks, or vice versa?

    Example: bullet time kills triggering Grim Reaper's Sprint

    Concerning Item #2 of the FAQ:

    Another possible cause of the issue is Load Order. To anyone experiencing the problem mentioned in #2, try to put the esp on the bottom of your load order and see if that helps.

    I could've saved a lot of my time if I had only realized this sooner.

      Just wanted to chip in and say this was my problem too. Moving it near the bottom of my load order fixed it right up.

    I am getting back into fallout 4 and wanted to re mod the game from vanilla. I uninstalled and reinstalled both FO4 and NMM. And this is the only mod I have loaded and installed. When in the game, the activator and config are not spawning in my inventory. So I craft them in the Chemistry table. The config works fine with all of the options showing up, however when I go to use the activator nothing happens. It does stay in my inventory though.

    EDIT: also I forgot to mention that, yes I did change the ini file. so that is not the issue.
