New player needing help with bug
I'm sorry if this has been answered to death but I couldn't find something here with my exact issue
So my friend told me when installing the game from steam to install the unofficial patch, which I did and I enabled all options. First area? Everything was fine and working as it should
When I came to the last part of the first zone, textures weren't loading. Okay, that's fine I can look past that. Then npcs bugged and stopped moving... Right. Then a cutscene bugged where the camera faced away from an npc and their intro got bugged where I couldn't see them and to top it off after all that is done and I'm in the second area it got worse.
Textures again weren't loading, an npc who should be holding an item wasn't and was just holding the air and once again an npc bugged out and began just running back and forth in one spot.
I tried to verify my game files which broke everything, the game stopped launching and showed an error. 'error unable to allocate 200mb' and then I took off the patch to see if that worked which didn't. I get that I'm likely doomed to restart the whole game which sucks as I've put in 8 hours already (and just started the second area I know) but is there a way to stop that happening again or some way to save my run?? I've deleted the patch from my files but not wiped it off my computer if it's safe to undo that and restore them to the game file and try again.
I need some help here. Help to try and fix all of this and keep my save or instructions to reinstall everything to work and make sure it doesn't bug out like that again.
Edit: Solved
