Interface Bugging Out and Save Files Disappearing/Corrupted

[JimDavis23]

Salutations,

 

I don't know how many have had this problem before, and I'm not sure if writing about it would help, but I'd like to try and ask for help anyway, as I'm not much of a techie. What happened was that when I had started a new game and exited Doc Mitchel's house, I experienced some interface problem. Interface problems such as when I search a container, the whole interface menu would be jumbled up and I can't interact with any of the items. Another issue was that the pause menu would be gone, as shown in the attached files.

 

 

 

 

At first, I thought I just needed to verify the game files on Steam, but even after doing so, I still get the same problem. And soon afterwards, my autosave and quicksave files disappear.

 

I don't know if anyone ever has this issue before, with interfaces bugging out and save files being corrupted, and I doubt asking about it would help, but does anyone know what might be going on? Does it have anything to do with some of the mods I installed? But more importantly, is there a way to fix this?

 

The computer I'm using to play New Vegas at the moment is a Dell Latitude E7450 14" FHD Laptop (Intel Core i5-5300u 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro, Webcam) and this is my load order as shown below.

Once again, I don't know if I'll be able to get some help on this problem, but any info you can give me on how I can get the game to run properly again would be well appreciated. Thank you!

I have never seen a load order with FalloutNV.exe in it. Something is wrong there. Also, unless you have the FNV Mod Limit Fix, you have 20-25 more files than the game can run.

 

There is at least one compatibility patch that is not in the proper place. Patches must load after the last mod being patched.

"User Interface (UI)" problems indicate you have changed XML files. This is often caused by an "install order" problem with more than one mod replacing or editing the same XML file. Please see the wiki "HUD-UI-Menu issues" article. (This takes some interpretation as applies to your situation. There are too many permutations for an "if A then B" type of guide. If you haven't encountered XML files before then the "TL;DR" section is not going to help by itself.)

 

"Disabling" mods is not enough to restore things to "vanilla" if they overwrote any files. UI mods definitely do this, and can make "edits" to other existing XML files. You have to "verify local files" to restore the originals, and still may need to delete the "loose files" so those vanilla versions get used from the BSA files. Then correct the sequence in which you install those UI affecting mods. Please see the 'Restoring to "Vanilla"' entry of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article.

 

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, is kept "up-to-date", and covers years of "lessons learned". It is NOT a list of various mods to install that happen to work on the author's machine. It addresses fundamentals underlying how to get the basic game and mods to work together.
