weird glitches and potential crashes

[ZxAsriel]

Upon loading a game and selecting a specific weapon, it turns into a giant red triangle with an exclamation point, the ESCAPE menu becomes inacessable or says

 

AUTO - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

#000 - CORRUPT

....

 

Yet upon reloading without saving all files are restored, I have a screenshot of my plugins that are said as "being dirty".

 

It seems that GRA is causing many of the "attempted" corruptions.

The following assumes you have a legitimate purchased copy of the game and DLCs. (Your symptoms are common with "hacked" torrent copies, in which case we cannot help you: both legally and practically.)

 

I would:

1. Run "chkdsk" to ensure you do not have any problems with your disk drive.

2. Re-download GRA. It sound like you have a bad file.

3. "Verify local files" (assuming is a "Steam" or "GOG Galaxy" install). Note this will probably replace any "4GB Patched" version of your EXE. Wait until after the next step before you attempt to patch that again.

4. Run the FNV "Launcher" app to ensure it configures for your hardware.

5. Now apply the "4GB Patcher" if you are running the "Steam" version. DO NOT if you are running the GOG version (it is already patched to use 4GB, and the Patcher will break things.)

6. Then (before you add any mods) create a "new game" just to see if things start up correctly. (You do not have to save it.) If that works, you should be past your current problem.

7. Install NVSE and other support or extension DLLs. Test again, before installing other mods.

 

To further help, we REALLY need to see a "load order" as produced by "LOOT"; to include the main game and DLC files. (Screenshots don't work so well for the purpose.) With modded games its the sequence, not merely the list of mods, which is the cause of many problems. LOOT's sort gives a good first approximation, correcting the most obvious issues and is sufficient for most players. You can make minor adjustments to the order and tell LOOT how to remember them. It's in the on-line documentation under "Metadata". Instructions on how to copy it's list for posting are in the "How to ask for help" article, and "Checklist Item #11' entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

Please see the 'Vanilla Load Order' entry in the 'First Timer Advice' section; and the 'Common Game Problems' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article.

If the problem persists, then see either the 'Solutions to Starting the game problems' or the 'Solutions to "Crash To Desktop" (CTD) problems' sections in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

I recommend anyone read the entire "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to understand the differences between this game and others you may have experience with; especially if this is your first attempt to play a modded FNV or it's been more than a year since you last did so. It is designed for someone who has never played a modded PC game before, so it tries to avoid making any assumptions.

Please provide ALL the information requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article. Don't forget to identify things that do not appear in the "load order", such as the version of Windows, if you are using a "Steam" or "GOG" and/or "regional language version" of the game (even if you are playing it in English); using the FNV4GB Patch, NVSE and it's related plugins; replacements for textures (specifically their larger image sizes: 1024x1024, etc.), animations, or "bodies", etc.; and "post-processors" like ENB or SweetFX. It saves us playing "20 questions" and gets you a more specific answer more quickly. (The usual turn-around on post and reply in an older game forum is 24 hours.) Screenshots don't usually work so well because they tend to cut off or fail to display needed information and are hard to "piece together" into a complete and coherent picture.

* See "How to markup images (etc) in forum posts and comments" article for how to use "Spoiler tags". LOOT already includes those tags in the "load order" it copies to your clipboard, so you can just paste it's list into your post.
