Ventessel

I was having exactly the same issue as the OP, and this fix worked perfectly for me. However, the text in the main menu is now missing...

I added an INI tweak to the DarnUI mod package in MO and that seems to have fixed it.

I am getting an issue that has been reported by a few other users on this forum, which is that after completing the setup for F&L I launch fnv4gb.exe through the MO and when it loads onto the main menu screen the correct background for NMC's texture pack is displayed but without the NMC logo, or the DarnUI icon, or any text/menu whatsoever. The mouse does not appear, and the game is effectively frozen (needs to be closed through task manager). I am running Win7, and do have my steam files installed in the default (ProgramFilesx86) directory. I have tried deactivating all mods, the game runs normally in that case with no issues. I have also tried selectively deactivating the merged fixes (although my copy of FNVEdit is up to date and the merge scripts all appear to be in order) and have also reinstalled MCM, DarnUI, UIO, and Project Nevada with all accompanying options/fixes. I have also made sure to move DarnUI above those mods for install and then back below them to run the game and prevent overwrites/conflicts with the start_menu.xml file. What I am wondering is: a) What the heck can I try other than a complete reinstall and rebuild of F&L (took about 3 days on and off working on it... not keen to take this route) b) Is it possible to just ignore DarnUI and not use it, since it seems to be causing trouble?
