I doubt that ArchiveInvalidation is related to your collision problem. Archive Invalidation is a method for overwriting vanilla textures with replacers, new meshes or meshes that don't actually incorporate a new texture in place of the vanilla texture don't require it. As in, it is something for texture replacers or body modifications such as Type 3. If I remember correctly, FOMM has a working ArchiveInvalidation button incorporated into the program that will make the ini changes for you. Also, a red exclamation mark usually means that there is no mesh in the directory of whatever file you have placed in GECK, or that it isn't done properly and will not show up. Here are the lines for how I set up Archive Invalidation in my Fallout New Vegas ini if you need them though, although you will require a blank.bsa of the same name. [Archive] SInvalidationFile= iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1 iRetainFilenameStringTable=1 iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1 bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0 bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 bUseArchives=1 SArchiveList=Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa Nevermind, I'm just being stupid ATM, it invalidates old files with newer ones, not just textures. So, it could probably fix your problem. Maybe. I don't know, I'm dumb.

It sounds like you are experiencing a case of artifacting, as in the odd pixelation and color changes. It is either caused by your GPU's ram being overloaded and unable to handle the workload, or outrageous temperatures. Are you actually using GPU-Z to check temps under a serious load? As in while currently playing? If you don't want to do it while trying to play New Vegas and having to alt-tab all day, you can download MSI Afterburner which should include Kombuster. After installing that, open up Afterburner and it will display temperatures. Hit the K and Kombuster will load over it. Hitting the T key will load the temperature overlay in Kombuster. If you start seeing anything odd, check if your temperature reached a ludicrous number. Most ATI Cards are a little hot, especially the one you have, but due to the variation of parts, anything above 85c may or may not cause artifacting, anything above 100c is definite in causing problems. If it is truly a case of an overheating graphics card, you might have to look into some after-market cooling devices.

The material that is ported still is the intellectual property of the original author regardless of having been ported. Seems as though some people are forgetting to add credits to the original authors though in all the hullabaloo that is New Vegas. Also, the usage restrictions are that of the original creators and not the porters unless the author allows otherwise..

Well, generally they do exactly what you say. You plug them in with a USB connector and you can store files on it. It is like a normal hard drive, except you can move it around and plug it into other computers and such. Some might have a power adapter, some don't. Really depends on which one you buy, but they all do the same thing. Most people use it to store backups of their files and or movies and such. Not much else to say about them..
