[00000150] ERROR: unhandled exception
I would only run NT itself and nothing else, except maybe the Tweaks and Cheats mod just so I have use of the Skip Cutscenes. Plus no music seems to play either even though I would also use the Music and Sounds mod as well but looking in the VGMStreams folder, there isn't anything there so if I was playing the game normally using the Mod Loader, no music plays.
Also checked the FPS for when I play the game minus NT and just the Tweaks mod, it would stay at 20FPS but FMV scenes like the intro plays normal speed but when the game starts, it dips down to 12FPS. If I was playing the game on Steam normally, my FPS would remain at its normal rate.
Sometimes when I use Vsync within the loader when I start the game, it would give me the message "GLITCH: Unable to turn on Vsync." Even figured that using RadeonPro and try to adjust it so I can have it tweaked to run normally didn't work though helped me see how much FPS I was running.
