Discussion: BSA files don't work with Fallout 4.

For me this is not necessarily about getting them to work, I have no problems with waiting a few months before official tools for packing proper archives are available. I just want to know if I'm the only one/one of just a few people that .bsa texture archives don't work for, or if Fallout 4 doesn't recognize them in general. I was hoping someone knowledgeable might be able to confirm either of these possibilities.

for me personally the point is just squeezing as much performance as I can from my limited hardware. I installed over 6Gbs of optimized textures (among other textures), it does make a difference in FPS however they take really long to load compared to vanilla textures. I figured it was worth using some time experimenting to get more FPS even if just for 2-3 months

 

on top of that, I've also seen people posting texture mods packed in BSAs, which don't work, so I guess it might be useful to know about this issue

Do you still have loose files in your /Data/texture sfolder, by any chance? They'd override the archives. I tried it again, and it didn't work for me.

No. I moved them, along with all the ba2 files... so it was definitely loading the Wasteland bsa's.

*I did install them individually through Nexus Mod first so that may have made a difference.

 

In the end though, my game ran better with the TOP textures+ Wasteland (loose files 1.7)--so I went back to that set-up.

 

Load times were long but gameplay smooth.

 

NB: Between TOP and Wasteland, they cover about 85% of textures. It's a shame they couldn't just do them all because the game runs so much better without having to access the ba2's.

I don't think it was loading the BSAs, since the textures don't look so different the only thing you notice is the performance. Try an armour retexture (vault suit for example).
