Have you already tried to reinstall the entire tsw? Maybe a messed up engine.ini or a mod caused a damage. Does it behave the same way you describe with and without afb?
That’s exactly what I suggested, but he keeps working around it and refuses to accept it as a solution. That’s when I concluded this was pointless and that he just wants to complain, while taking a few simple steps himself is apparently too much effort. So I’m ignoring him now.
