2k/4k mod textures lagging and breaking the game (not performance issue)

[Deleted168289User]

So, it seems i have a rare problem that i don't even know how to fix myself, it persisted since the first version and up till last patch. If i install too much loose textures on the game, the game doesn't really drops its fps, but instead glitches start to happen, or if i use just one 2k retexture of some clothes, the game will lag every time i change weapon/clothes or even shoot the gun. It seemed unrelated at first, but last time i tested out recently "Brotherhood of Steel Kit - 2k" alone (without any other mods), and each time i equip brotherhood armor retextured by this mod, game makes a 1-2 second lag. It gets much worse when a lot of textures are replaced.

 

I experienced real hell when i tried to replace a lot of architecture, foliage and armor textures. All textures became blurry, ground started to disappear right in front of me, raiders and enemies stopped spawning, buildings forgot to load, doors became unacceptable, all game sounds lagged and desynchronized (shoot a gun, hear a gunshot 3-4 seconds later) and so on.

 

I am fully aware about fixes for blurry textures, such as edits in ini file and enb series tweaks. They don't seem to solve my problem. I have 16 gb ram, nvidia 650ti with 2gb vram, and an intel i5-2400 3.10ghz processor. But i don't believe its a hardware issue, because mods that repacked textures into ba2 archives work absolutely fine and don't cause such glitches. And yes, those bugs can be caused not only by retextures, but by mods that add new items too.

 

So, nobody experienced this?

It seems to me that you have a faulty HDD. Or is it an SSD?

I'm not tech savvy or anything so don't quote me on this. But i believe ba2 are easier to read.

 

I remember having the invisible gun glitch or weapons sometimes would take several seconds to switch.

Once i moved the game to an SSD all problems were gone.

You right, i haven't changed hdd for a few years. Probably fragmented as hell at this point.

 

Anyway, i finally found a solution after googling about sound lag and finding specific thread on steam about this. Although it didn't fixed texture load completely, but at least enemies/buildings won't disappear. Apparently Avast was taking too much time to always scan files of the game for some reason. Never did that to skyrim or anything. Adding game folder into avast exceptions helped a lot.
