Missing Flare Mesh

[bryman1970]

I loaded up a saved game I had made from inside a building in the City Isles district (i'm currently using Better Cities). I left the house and eventually needed to use my Flare spell during an attack. I fired off the spell and I noticed I had a missing mesh. I didn't have any problems with missing meshes prior to getting this message. I tried loading the save again, thinking maybe it was somehow not loaded correctly. I even fired a few off inside the buiding to make sure it worked, which they both did. After leaving, I tested it out agaijn. There was the missing mesh message again. I tried using a magic graphical enhancement replacer, but those were just textures. I have no idea why this isn't working, but it's strange that as soon as I leave the house, it happens. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Not sure if this is relevant, but I tried doing the Bloated Float quest a few times before this save, in which I got the infamous bug after I rested which cayused the game to crash. I had to revert to a save before I took on the quest so I could get out of it.

 

Edit: I just tried loading an early save even before I stepped on the Bloated Float from the district in the center of the IC. As soon as I stepped into the Temple district, I got the missing meshes message again.

I tried loading a few more saves, and sometimes it was fine in the worldspace but then I lost it when I entered some ruins. I also didn't rebash the patch again when I last installed a few mods, which were the Duke Patrick mods. I don't know if that matters or not, just thought i'd mention it.

You should ALWAYS run BOSS and then rebuilt your Bashed Patch whenever you add, remove or edit any mod. I suggest you do that. From your list, I cannot see anything obvious that would be causing a missing magic mesh -- I am not familiar with the Duke Partick mods, as I've always found them troublesome.

[whalecakes]

It's probably using some kind of trigger zone centered on the projectile. I'd guess it's from the 'near miss alerts actors' mod.

[bryman1970]

@ Hickory: I do always use BOSS for the most part, but as for the III-RoadBridgesPatch.esp , the Read Me for the Improved Imperial Infrastructure mod said to have the patch right before the Bashed Patch, so I moved it manually, as well as the New Roads & Bridges.esp and the Improved Imperial Infrastructure.esp itself. I thought I could get away with not rebuilding the Bashed Patch with certain mods if they didn't say to do so in the instructions, but I suppose it's good practice to do this every time.

 

@Whalecakes: That's very possible. I didn't seem to have this problem before I added those 3 mods. I'll try rebuilding the Bashed Patch first, and if that doesn't work, i'll uncheck that one and see if it still happens. If I have to not use it, so be it.

 

Edit: Well, I guess the Duke Patricks - Near Miss Magic And Arrows Alert The Target.esp came with meshes. I assumed, like the other 2 Duke patrick mods, there was just the .esp files. I added those and rebuilt the Bashed Patch and fired off about 3 or 4 Flare spells and I didn't get those missing mesh messages. I'm willing to bet my problem is fixed.

When it comes to load order, every mod maker and his/her granny want THEIR mod to load last. The development team at BOSS are impartial experts in what they do. On the whole, always go by what BOSS says, and if you have unresolved issues with your load order, a quick post on the BOSS forum at Bethsoft will soon put you right..
