Fallout 4 .Ba2 archive questions.

I've been searching around for a few hours now for any solutions to the Ba2 texture corruption issue that plagues Fallout 4. So far I have found the massive number of posts complaining about it but with no fix. (Just the unpack everything workaround that is honestly worse than the texture corruption.) Most of the posts are really old so I have a feeling something useful was drowned in the overflow. Was there ever a definitive fix for the texture corruption? For those who are unaware of the problem somehow here is a imgur album with what you lucky few don't have to deal with: https://imgur.com/a/CgNCM

Never heard of this and I always pack my textures and other files to BA2. This is really hard to know what caused this issue. Maybe the CK has been fixed since then, maybe they just saved files in some odd format or something else was wrong.

The only thing about BA2 I can tell, is that if you have F4SE installed it always wants to pack some of F4SE scripts together with yours. So I have to clean it from these scripts manually.

 

On second thought if it could be fixed with unpacking, then the problem could be in load order. In ny case if most messages are really old and you don't see new posts reporting the issue, then it's likely it just does not exist anymore.

The textures in question are the vanilla ones. Modded textures have yet to produce this bug for me but most texture packs contain less than half the game. Sadly it still does exist albeit not as bad as it was in patch 1.3. After that patch I couldn't hardly play the game due to anything further than 6 meters in front of me turning into a rainbow mess. They had a patch that "fixed" it but it only made it less of an issue for me. While I haven't tested a vanilla setup recently I did use one (With the bug still present) about 4-5 months ago. I'm starting to wonder if ENBoost may be the cause as that's one thing I've always used without question since it helps FalloutNV so much. I'll be testing that and get back with any updates.

Interesting. Can't it be that your system is just not powerful enough for the texture mods you use and the game fails to load some of them properly?

If they can be unpacked and then work properly, then they are not likely to be corrupted and the reason of problem is in something else.

Well as I stated earlier I'm not using any texture mods at this time. The problem textures are the base games textures. The source was found to be mismatched mip maps. Basically the game engine is pulling the wrong parts of the texture to mip to the surface. I doubt my PC isn't powerful enough. I have an RX 480 (4Gb model) i7 4790k and 12 Gb of ram. I tested without ENBoost and it worked for a while (About 30 minutes) but came back.

There should be some reason why it happens not to everyone. You PC seems good. A radical method is to delete and reinstall the game. Sometimes files can get corrupted for no visible reason. I had the CK corrupted after a crash. It stopped to work , but the repair function has fixed it. Or you can try to run steam cache check.

The files shouldn't be corrupt as I downloaded them from steam about 3 days before I made this post. I have also ran the steam cache check but it gave an all clear. It used to be a very common bug but it was fixed for a good chunk of people. Sadly there are still people encountering it.

Write to Bethesda. There is an option to create a bug report on their site. The worst thing is that their new site is barely usable and the design is just really bad and hard to navigate. But I think if they get the same complaint from other people , they might look into this.

They are very slow, but they do check all bug reports they get. I wrote them about random encounter bug (the scribe disappearing from settlements). Attached 2 game saves to the form showing the problem. Not sure if it made any difference, but the bug was fixed a few weeks after.
