CleaveOfFaith Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) [This was directly copied and pasted from the same thread that i had created for Fallout 3 because they use the same engine, so keep in note that whatever is written here is true AND applies for New Vegas as well, as i have witnessed the same problem described below in NV too, thanks for taking the time to read, it will surely be worth it for all you gory-blood fans :smile: ] As you may know, there is a big difference in the blood limb explosion textures between the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout NV. Having Fallout NV 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 NV 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 NV 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: Edited August 13, 2013 by CleaveOfFaith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
