I am having a problem with weapons. For some reason using a pistol or incinerator/flamer/minigun will not fire. After further testing, any NPC(companions, enemies, allies, etc.) using a pistol-type weapon or incinerator/flamer/minigun, will not work. Further investigation, I found that when I got 3'rd person view, when I equip my weapon, it instantly get holstered. I have tried with multiple saves all the way to the first save, when OWB loads, pistols would no longer work.

In addition, I'm experiencing a significant amount of crash to desktops whenever I fast-travel or leaving a place. Often the solution is walk around for a bit to different zones and attempt fast-travel again or haul my ass to that location but the crashing has been a major inconvenience.

Is there any way to fix these problems?

NVM...figured it out. I was missing a file apparently. I used steam to re-validate my game and it found 1 file missing.
