Fallout 3 Blood Decap Splash Texture FIX. It looks gorier now

[CleaveOfFaith]

As you may know, there is a big difference in the blood limb explosion textures between the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout 3. Having Fallout 3 on Ultra Settings is awesome, but if you have noticed detailed combat in the xbox 360 version of the game, you can tell that the blood particles in the pc version of the game look like dispersed bubbles/dots flying out of an exploding limb, where in the Xbox 360 version it is replaced by a Gory Splashy and Satisfying Blood explosion, as well as having the dots replaced by very good looking twisted spurting blood. Now, as you may have guessed this is NOT related to your machine, NOR are there mods to replace the ugly dots BUT, there is a way to fix this, and it is the most easy to do and easy to miss one. You may have the settings on Ultra but there is an actual problem between some alterations made there. So, i know many people have found the problem, and now i present it here so that many of you fallout 3 players solve this disturbing pc version issue. The real culprit in your settings is having BOTH Antialiasing and Transparency Multisampling ( a checkbox located in the advanced tab of the settings window) turned ON TOGETHER. Now, transparency multisampling is an effect which antialiases textures which have transparency in them, an effect which IS BROKEN in the game engine and CANNOT work well for your blood textures when associated with Antialiasing turned on. So, i believe you have already found the solution and that is..... TURN TRANSPARENCY MULTISAMPLING OFF, IF and WHEN you have Antialiasing enabled too. Pay attention, you CAN have transparency mutlisampling turned on BUT never with antialiasing turned on too, as it bugs the blood explosion textures. So that is it people, it is time for you to witness Fallout 3 on Ultra Settings in it's actual Gory and Brutal nature, i hope i have helped ( I DIDN'T FIND THE ISSUE, I TOO HAVE TAKEN THIS OFF OF A THREAD ON GOOGLE) many people solve this disturbance as much as it has helped me . Have Fun Playing Guys :smile:

Neat. I shall try this and see how it works. Thank you for taking the time to write this and explain everything. I've not played it on the 360 so I never noticed this.

 

Edit: Woooow that is sooo cool! And totally gross but very cool. Many thanks, I always hated the way it looked but thought nothing of it. Thank you. :thumbsup:

Word should be spread throughout the nexus about this terrible problem of fallout 3. I don't know in which other way i can publisize this fix more but i am glad to have helped so far. Please try and do anything for this fix to reach as many Fallout 3 and New Vegas players as possible, as i think it is also present in new vegas. If anyone is reading this, either point them out to this page in order to solve this problem or explain it yourselves, this fix rly makes the game gorier and it shouldn't be something that Ultra setting players should miss.

Ok, i created a thread for this problem on the Fallout New Vegas Forums as well, it will hopefully help people playing that game as well :)
