I'm afraid it didn't help. :(

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll have him give it a shot, and we'll see if this solves it.

Since i've been playing New Vegas, my brother has decided to try and get his working again. His computer runs skyrim, but in the past it has refused to run Oblivion, or either one of the fallout games. It loads, gets to the Bethesda screen, and then crashes. He's got Windows 7, Nvidea GeForce 8600 GTS. So far, he's tried: running as administrator, Running in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 2, 3, even Windows Vista (you never know) playing in windowed mode updating drivers and direct X, defragging and verifying local content reloading and reinstalling several times, messed with his .ini files a couple of times (which only ended up making the problem worse somehow) Praying to various deities and other supernatural figureheads If anyone has any way to help, we'd be sorely grateful. So far all the internet searches he's done have either been giving advice that doesn't work, or the responses are a mix of "I have this problem too" and "i have all this and the game runs great for me (lol)," neither of which are particularly helpful. So I come to you, great sage of the New Vegas knowledgebase, as you have helped me several times before, and your mods are quite delightful.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. This allowed me to identify the mod that was causing the trouble. It seems Lutana's Headgear mod adds tokens. I've taken it off and things have been smooth.

This continues even when starting completely new games. I've uninstalled all Mod content, created a new character, and played through. The enemies had no problem shooting me then, so it's definitely something with the mods. What I don't understand is what's causing it. To my knowledge, none of these affect AI, or gun textures or anything. I'm in the process of testing out one mod at a time, to see if there's any one in particular, but it's a slow process thanks to Doc Mitchell.

I've been battling this weird problem for a few nights now. When I'm roaming around, I'll come across bandits, powdergangers, convicts, etc. People with guns. At first they'll shoot at me, as expected. But after a few seconds, they will approach me and stand completely still (or if they are within melee range, will back up about a dozen yards, and then crouch down and stare at me). They're still hostile, but they don't fight back, and say nothing. I don't have any mods that edit AI functionality. At first, I thought "maybe those new mods overloaded the system and the AI suffers." So I removed the BIG game-altering mods, like weatherchanging mods, player made expansions, etc. Reload the game, and approach the same bandit camp. Same thing happens. I unloaded mods that add new weaponry, figuring maybe the problem is they have guns that aren't working with their AI (sometimes they appear not holding any guns, but looking like they are). Still nothing. Finally, I got fed up and uninstalled FNV, deleted any remaining content on my harddrive related to the game, and reinstalled it fresh from steam. I began downloading mods again, without some of the mods that I was suspicious of. Load game, play. Rush to bandit camp. They stand still and stare at me, crouching down. FFFFFFF--- So, I have cleared my cache and verified local content integrity. I don't have any AI mods, I have reduced my mod load to see if it helped (it didn't) and I am now stuck. I've seen a few people online who had this problem, but there were no solutions suggested. Can anyone help? Here's my mod readout.
