DLC Missing Textures

[Emileya]

Okay, so I installed the DLCs Point Lookout, Broken Steel, Operation Anchorage and The Pitt. The first destination I travelled to was the Riverboat Landing, the transportation to Point Lookout. However, upon arrival, all I could see was Catherine and Tobar, but the boat was nothing but red triangles with ! in. A quick search informed me that this was caused by missing textures. How could this have happened, I thought textures would have installed properly with the disk?

 

I am using the disk version of FO3. A lot of other things are missing too, including voice files, PipBoy icons and then the textures. I opened up the bsa in Data Files, and the textures were there. Just not in-game.

 

Also, installing The Pitt and Operation Anchorage, I have yet to recieve the ingame conformation, even after three continous hours of playing.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling three times, and still the missing textures. Help, anyone? :)

 

And yes, I do have a variety of mods. I find it hard to believe that the mods would affect DLC textures, though. I can post my load order for anyone interested.

The DLC's have to be in the proper load order and activated to show up in game. The install location could have an impact on the textures showing. Did you install the game outside of the Program Files? If you are using a multicore processor, did you limit it to 2 cores? If you are using Fallout Remastered, the notifications will be delayed until your are in the area where the dlc takes place.

They are activated and in the load order and they are definetely installed in the Program Files. I don't use Fallout Remastered, and I have limited to two cores. I will try again, and thanks for the response. :)

Here is how I solved the issue:

 

Download Fallout 3 Mod Manager

 

Go to the game location and open the file called Data

 

Using Fo3 Mod Manager I opened both files associated with the mod (ThePitt - Main and ThePitt - Sounds) then unpacked them into the data folder

 

start the game using the mod manager and ensure that the Pitt mod is checked... should work
