I've delete the file, whole game in fact. I backed up my saved games, jpegs and such then added them back into the new folder, started up the game to see if it was better with no change. I decided to make a new game to see if I would have an issue there and nope the log comes up, interactions menu is refreshed and everything. Im inclined to believe there's just a random weird problem with my personal save though I will still go to the Discord and get the bugfix and try. Either way thanks all around for the help and if I can't fix it, oh well i'll just move on to the next game no big deal lol
