Sorry for the delay. It has taken a little while to research and test all of these items. But here’s what I’ve found. To be clear, I started this process with another clean install: Aspyr retail box and Aspyr 1.2 Patch, Video Options = Ultra High, 1920x1200 resolution, Key Binding Q changed to F. No other changes.

Something I didn’t mention before: I’m running the DX10 version of NVN.

Also, when I was running some of the tests you prescribed below, specifically the “nvnweapons” cheat code tests, I noticed that there were several rifles based on the same physical unit (the GEW 98). The version of the rifle that is causing the game to crash in Chapter 3 is the version with the bayonet attached—not the version with the purple scope attached and not the version with that weird-round-thing-that-I-don’t-know-what-it-does on the end of it. The latter two versions of the GEW 98 worked fine in all tests.

1-Just to make sure: you NEVER edited config.ini by hand before the 3rd install, right?

Correct. Any changes I made during Installs 1, 2, and 4 were accomplished only through the in-game Options screens.

2-Could you post you lscript.pak please? If you chose to upload it on a public filehoster, please do not use rapidshare.

I have attached my lscript.pak file to this posting. This is the version installed by the Aspyr 1.2 Patch. For what it’s worth, I opened both of our lscripts.pak files in MS Word and ran a comparison at the character level. Word reported that there were no differences between the contents of our two PAK files.

3-Do you have several lscripts.pak? For example one in c:\Program Files (x86)\Aspyr\NecroVisioN\data and one in VirtualStore\...\NecroVisioN\Data?

I have only one lscripts.pak file on my computer. It’s located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspyr\NecroVisioN\Data.

4-The rifle you get at level 3 is the Gewehr 98. Did you use it in the previous 2 levels? If not you can use the "nvnweapons" cheat code to get it at 1st level, saving you the trouble of playing through the 2 first levels.

I tested Chapters 1, 2, and 3 using the “nvnweapons” cheat code. I tested the Right Mouse button on all weapons. In Chapters 1 and 2, the Right Mouse button worked successfully for all weapons, including the GEW 98 with bayonet. However, when I tested all weapons in Chapter 3, the Right Mouse button worked successfully for all weapons—except the GEW 98 with bayonet. Using the Right Mouse button with the GEW still crashes the game.

5-Just out of curiosity, replace your lscript.pak with this one. It's my lscript.pak v1.2. Normally it shouldn't change anything, but just in case....

I swapped in your lscript.pak file and ran the same tests that I ran in #4 above—and got the same results. All weapons responded successfully to the Right Mouse button in Chapters 1 and 2, including the GEW 98 with bayonet. In Chapter 3, all of the weapons responded successfully to the Right Mouse button—except for the GEW 98 with bayonet, which crashed the game.
