Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Android app stopped connecting to PC version running on Windows 10

After a recent beta update via Steam, the pip boy app (on Android) stopped working. It is able to detect my PC, and initially says 'success', then immediately says connection error. It used to work before, so this isn't a firewall issue.

Edit - Windows Firewall already has granted bi-directional full access on all ports and protocols to fallout.exe.

For me this wasn't a networking issue. It was the permanent modification I had made to my carry weight that the application didn't like.

You can check by starting a new game. You have to run through until you exit Vault 111 and pick up the Pip Boy, but I wager the application will work for you for that game at that time.
