Archive Invalidation stopped working FNV

I saw posts addressing problems with Archive Invalidation not working but none of them mentioned anything resembling my issue.

I have been playing New Vegas for weeks now using MO and archive invalidation has worked perfectly the entire time. Last week I set up a second profile to install DUST to, changed my mind after downloading it, never installed anything for it, and never ran the game using the DUST profile i created. I switched back to my default profile and ran the game as usual and my archive invalidation no longer works.

 

I checked and rechecked the automatic archive invalidation, verified that my ini's are all writable, and made sure it wasn't just a load order issue. Everything is normal and from what i can tell it should be working?

Go to the archives tab and ensure that the invalidation BSA is at the top of the data list.

omg ok yeah that did it. Thank you. Now i have to go sit quietly in shame for missing something so simple.

I need to remember to investigate this and place this on the bug tracker, as the Automatic Archive Invalidation checkmark should force this (otherwise it isn't very automatic).
