wizzydizzy Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) At the moment, I'm quite lost. When loading saves, sometimes light sources will not only emit light but also show red planes giving the direction, just like in GECK, if switching light sources on.I'm also getting the dreaded red exclamation marks, even though textures are displayed underneath. This obviously sounds like a conflict and/or faulty mod installation, and be assured, I wouldn't post, if it were easy to solve.Mods, I blamed for causing a conflict, were NSkies, ILO, bugfixes/NVEC or a merged patch. I seem to be mistaken, though, as there is an odd thing happening over and over again:Disabling those altogether or one by one will solve the issue, without having to make a new save.But re-enabling those again at the same time or one by one, will show no errors until I have played for a while.You don't even have to save the game to make it work. If it were "only" because of conflicts or corrupted saves, I would expect constant results (like always having conflicts, when activating certain mods or conflicts regardless of mods in case of a corrupt save). I'm currently working on solving conflicts, without having to create a merged patch.But you know, if you're dealing with trouble, it's always nice, if you can advance in the game a little. Just to make you remember, why you are spending hours and hours on trouble-shooting. Words of sympathy are always welcome, but, don't get me wrong, hints, tips, links, ideas or solutions would be even better.:yes: Thanks for your input.

rickerhk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 sounds like you have too many plugins. 140 plus or minus seems to be the magic number when these problems start to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzydizzy Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've already found out the maximum # of plugins (around 170) my installation can handle and are well below it (less than 150). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 But it is still happening, until you disable a plugin or 2... yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzydizzy Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I know you're thinking, that there are still too many plugins activated. But actually I'm running fewer mods than ever before, and I haven't added any for a while (just updated the old ones). Yes, it might be because of such an update, but it's still odd that it started overnight when returning from Dead Money.And I finished Dead Money before and only played through it again to save Dean. I would like to do some testing with only Dead Money installed, but I don't know of any way to tell Steam to only download updates and a single add-on. Anyway, I will try as you two suggested, but damn do I hate to see some of my mods go, that worked flawlessly until maybe a month ago...:( @Quetz: If you were about to suggest anything else, I will listen carefully.Oh, I've finished the FNVEdit tutorial (except the last two chapters, which are for modders), and now I know, why you suggested using another utility for mod-merging.:yes: Edit: I thought it were FNV either crashing or loading correctly (except some conflicts, of course. But I would have ner expected, that mods seem to suddenly stop working or to not load textures. Edited January 25, 2012 by wizzydizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
