Red Exclamation Mark?

[xenest]

Hello, I recently just started playing honest hearts and notice that there is a huge box with an exclamation mark over Joshua Graham covering his whole body. I tried googling for help but didn't really find any useful information. The best answer I could come up with there are missing textures possible due to a currupt DLC install and that steam file validation could fix the problem.

 

Now my question is if I do this and install the missing files, will it mess with any of my installed mods? I have quite a bit. Thanks for any info.

It's a missing mesh, file validation should be fine, all the games default stuff is in archives, the mod stuff in folders should be left alone. Maybe back the game folder up first, just in case.

Thanks, ill give it a go then.

xenest, would you mind posting which mods you have? I'm having the exact same problem, but didn't in a past install of FNV/HH. Might be able to work it out from there.

Sure,

That list includes a complied patch that I don't necessarily need and I only installed it in hopes of fixing another problem I have right now which makes me stuck in Zion because I get the zion map in my notes instead of a quest item (It's my best guess, anyways). But it still didn't fix the problem unfortunetly. Heh, I'm just have a grand ole time with Honest Hearts, hope my other DLCs aren't this buggy =/

Hmmm, the only three mods we share are the Mission Mojave Ultimate Edition, WeaponModsExpanded, and CNR. I deactivated all three to see if anything changed, but nothing did.

 

I used this mod to try and narrow down the problem, which got me to Graham. The ID given when I used the console was of Graham himself, although other than the giant orange marker sticking out of his neck he shows up fine for me. My uneducated guess is that it's a problem with the head wrap.

 

Might do a clean install and new game, was toying with an idea and would need to replay the game from the beginning anyway.

I just completed Honest Hearts today. I was going to test this myself, but I am no longer able to see Joshua so I can't really know if it fixes the problem. But you can try,

It's a german site however there are english patches one of which is a Elijah and Joshua texture fix. Perhaps this could be a solution.

 

Also, I find it funny how besides the huge obtrusive 3d red box with an exclamation point in it, Joshua looks completely fine. I see no texture problems like he is missing a head or he is all different colours. I don't see the point of such an over the top graphical texture error, lol...

Thanks again for the response. I might just go ahead and play it anyway. The big orange thing sticking out of him is actually less annoying.

Exact same thing I saw. NO issue other than the exclamation mark. Although all 3 mods list HH as a master file, I know CNR pretty explicitly draws from the meshes/textures there, so I might mention it to the creator.
