Graphics corruption

[qwak]

I have this graphics corruption problem near Megaton where some rubble, debris piles appear to be multi-colored pebbles, grains:

I've disabled all mods, textures, meshes, etc but it wont go away. I've also tested it in both XP and Vista with different GPU drivers but still same. Anyone have an idea?

Nevah seen that before, blue purple yeah, but not coruptedafied.

 

 

I'd start by opening GECK, load up Fallout.esm an one way or the other make your way to the same spot outside megaton, so that you can click on an identify the rubble pile in the picture, also you would see if the rubble pile is rendered correctly. Once you know it's name, Form ID name or whatever, you can unpack the texture from the .BSA with FOMM. There have been times that it has fixed things in the past.

 

Also since you unpacked it, you could also try to open up the texture with a totally awesome an free to boot, texture editing program, Paint dot net Paint.net, which also btw opens .DDS format as well as converts just about any format to an from in realtime, but I had you at free didn't I?

 

If it's been duplicated in fresh clean installs on more than one system, more than one windows version, different drivers, ect... I'd be about at my wits end, an ready to burn this crazy fallout game. So maybe it's time you contact Bethesda support. A while back I was getting these Blue screens of death, an it took a week or two, but they got back to meh an I got the answer.
