EyesThatBlaize Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Alright, I was using FOMM and I stumbled into the installation options bit and somehow enabled Shrink Textures. I've absolutely no idea how to disable it... seems like no matter what I do, I can't disable it. Even tried reinstalling the game and it's still in effect.... It doesn't matter if I start it using FOMM or if I start it using the default launcher. Uninstalling the FOMM didn't help either. Any help would be appreciated.

EyesThatBlaize Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Nevermind, solution was inside user-end Fallout 3 folder. Deleted the My Games\Fallout 3 folder and everything was peachy. Ciao, -Blaize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesThatBlaize Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Okay, update. Still not working. Deleting my My Games/Fallout3 folder temporarily solves the issue, but eventually the textures reset back to extremely low quality... Is there a way to reverse the Compress Textures option on FOMM?

mechine Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 pfft, I don't really even ever have to use any of FOMM's advanced options. I use it to unpack .BSA, then to launch FOSE. That's it... I did shrink my textures though, which was done with paintnet. Resizing them in best quality supersampling depending on how large they are in the game world. Like something hand sized would be 256X256 or a 512X512 high res, then anything arm sized would be 512X512 or a high res 1024X1024. If it's building size or just fracking huge size then I'd use the original retarded size of most of the player made content 2096X2096 or 4096X4096, but I haven't run into stuff like that yet. I have been wanting to install all the HD texture packs but, reduce the amount of grapics card memory they use from using the same practices I came up with. I wrote an article on it http://www.fallout3nexus.com/articles/article.php?id=208 There's another person who the game settings keep defaulting to small/low texture size/quality. I told them their best bet would be to contact bethesda support. As I can't really or wouldn't tell a person that hey you need to format your hard-drives which erases everything on it, then start over installing the whole system from scratch to fix it. I can't even say hey clean your registry. Anything I would tell you would be a guess. Short of someone who has had this problem before wandering by an telling us what they did to fix it I don't think we'll figure it out. That's how you learn how to fallout 3 the best, by getting in there and messing up, so hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesThatBlaize Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 An interesting reply, I suppose xD But nevertheless, I've been working toward fixing this problem. But it only seems to use the low quality textures if the User-end settings allow archive invalidation... and yet turning them off in my user settings doesn't prevent them from going to low quality. However, if I log on to a separate account on my PC.. for some odd reason it works fine.... Quite frustrating, plucking around in random files searching for the solution....
