Uhh ... a layout glitch while playing modded F:NV

I just installed Project Nevada, played for a day, and went to sleep. The next day, this happened and im not sure what caused it. It only fixes if i play F:NV without project nevada.
I need help because i want to play with PN, its a cool mod.
Also i have NMC's Texture Pack- Medium, if that helps any bit.

I think it's because one of your HUD mods hasn't been set up properly. Gopher on YouTube has a video in his latest FNV series about how to set them up correctly.

In general, if you haven't changed anything about your game and it suddenly stops working correctly you need to look to other causes: such as software updates to Windows, programming libraries such as ".Net", or hardware drivers. Older games eventually get dropped from product testing. It is also possible you are having problems with your hard drive. It never hurts to run "chkdsk" and an anti-virus scan.

FYI: If you recently had a Windows system update, you only have 10 days to revert to the previous version if you decide to choose that option.

I can't be certain from that screenshot, but it looks like you have either two languages being displayed (not aware that was possible) or an issue with the fonts being used and their positioning. What I do know for certain is that PN modifies the "User Interface (UI)", meaning it changes XML files, and installs an older version of MCM, which needs to be updated with the newer, stand-alone version. See the "MCM" section in the first wiki article referenced below.

 

"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.

In the context of the question asked this advice is irrelevant and a waste of time. Running full diagnostics on your computer because something changed in a game is overkill especially when further on in your post you identify the likely cause as an xml file modification.

This is exactly correct. I have checked with Microsoft's message board and it is full of complaints from their last update. Checking event view log was exactly the right thing to do. It wasn't just this game that ended up getting dropped from testing. I saw other legacy games that were hit with major issues as well.
