Textures errors and crashes

[czarny1228]

Hello.

 

Since I installed NV from Steam and downloaded a few mods weird things started to happen.

 

Here's a list of mods from NMM:

 

 

FalloutNV.esm=1

MikotoBeauty.esm=0

NevadaSkies.esm=1

NVInteriors_Core.esm=1

FCOMaster.esm=1

MikotoBeauty.esp=1

FalloutNV_lang.esp=0

NRN.esp=1

LRN.esp=1

NRN-AutoRepair.esp=1

The Weapon Mod Menu.esp=1

WeaponModsExpanded.esp=0

Vurt's WFO.esp=1

FCO.esp=1

BetterGamePerformanceV4.esp=1

So, there's a few issues occurring. Textures randomly change, blink or disappeare as I walk around Goodsprings. Game sometimes crashes when I leave the building or fast travel. Once I was talking to the NPC, all the sounds turned off for good.

 

Any ideas? I'm kind of noob at modding so let me know what causes it.

1. download FNVedit and learn to use it, (it's brilliant and easy for beginners) just watch a gopher tutorial on youtube on how to use it to make a merge patch :)

2. get NVSE, NVAC and NVSR

3. always read the readme's twice! till you understand the system.

4. BOSS (load order sorter)

5. google search for "falloutperf.ini tweaks"

 

Modding is brilliant and add's so much to the game but it takes patience and clear understanding of the protocol's or your gonna be Mayor of crash town. a few 30 min guides on youtube will save you an eternity of pointless ctd's bruv.

Thanks for the tips. I think I figured out what caused the issue.

 

I redownloaded the whole game from Steam and started activating mods one by one. So, after I activate NMCs Textures and FCO and I deactivate then activate ArchiveInvalidation in NMM (as said in FCO installation guide) things go crazy, starts blinking, turning pink or disappearing. I got rid of those two mods and game works smoothly and without crashes. We'll see for how long. :wink:

sounds you are over cooking your system resources. NMC is a huge drain. 4gbnv.exe will help but consider reducing your graphics setting's. keeping a clean installed game in a renamed folder saves downloading new versions. the d3d9.dll will help auto configure your setup i'm not giving direct links because you'll learn more by looking for yourself :)

 

ordenador texture optimizor help's a mite too.

I do use 4GBNV, Better Game Performance and NVSR and even tho NV drops FPS while walking around outdoors with NMCs enabled. It's weird cause I play Fallout 3 with the same texture pack on ultra settings with no drops. My PC is kinda powerful, i5 2500k and GTX570 should have no problems to run it.

 

Actually, I gave up trying to install NMCs as it works nice and smooth now with no crashes. I'm learning some modding mechanics but don't want to risk loosing my save again.
