Water Problems...

[Sarge198]

I have had this issue for quite a long time now and finally got annoyed enough to ask for help since I haven't been able to fix it myself.

 

Has anyone else seen this before? Or know of any way to fix it?

 

I have tried the basics:

Disabled all my mods, removed archive invalidation.

 

I should also mention that I have this exact same problem with Fallout 3.

 

Take a look at these screenshots:

I see your HUD better then I see the problem. Is that a manhole that says drink on it not sure?.

I uploaded some better images.

 

Also here is an example of the same issue in Fallout 3:

Its looks like your char have an aura of water absorbing, pretty nice.

The effect remains even when you disable most of the mods? Very interesting. What about clean game, tried to test it on clean save and game without mods?

Cant say for sure, but if this remains in Fallout 3 and NV, it is not the plugins fault. It is your hardware, most likely your graphics card, try the newest drivers.

Yep tried it on a new character with nothing but the main ESM active, archive invalidation removed, and any custom folders, meshes, textures .bsa files etc.

 

I'm going to test your hardware theory by installing it on my other computer with all my mods and stuff, and see if it produces the same issue.

 

I am in fact using the latest drivers: v270.61

 

Here are my specs if that helps:

CPU:AMD Phenom II X6 1090T

Motherboard:ASUS M4N98TD EVO

Bios:American Megatrends

Graphics Card:2x MSI N470GTXs SLI

Memory:8GB (4x2GB) Crucial Ballistix Tracer

Hard Drive:3x WD Caviar Black 640GB

Optical Drive:External LACIE Slim USB

Power Supply:ZALMAN ZM850-HP 850W

Display:ASUS 23.6" 5ms 1080P

Case:Antec 902 ver. 1

Sound Card:VIA integrated audio

Operating System:Windows 7 x64 Professional

 

Perhaps I should try disabling SLI, I understand that Fallout 3 and NV are not coded for SLI. Correct me if I am wrong.

Ok so SLI was the issue. It works now with SLI disabled.

 

Thanks for your help. :thumbsup:

Nice to know this, have you checked out nVidias website for this issue ?

 

They probably already know about it and are looking into a fix for a future driver pack release but it's good to double-check.

 

Both nVidia and AMD like to keep abreast of games that have issues with either the SLI or Crossfire configurations.

From further research here I have found that disabling Depth Fog under "Advanced" in the Launcher will also fix the problem with SLI enabled. But then the water will look like crap, for now I've resorted to running Fallout with one GTX470. Unfortunately I can see no difference in frame rates when running in SLI mode.

 

Here is some info I found on Nvidia's Forums.
