Colorado River Surface Texture Glitch

[C4RN1F3XX]

Hi,

 

when reaching the east side of the map, I got nicely introduced to this glitch which makes the whole Colorado River surface invisible/transparent and far-out landscape textures glitching.

 

in this picture you can see the glitch:

This also happens with an unmodded fresh install (including new .inis)

 

this is my load order (fully managed by LOOT):

Does soemone know how to fix this?

Those are VWD/LOD textures. Even when you add only DLCs, you are changing the "load order" of the "quads" built up for the vanilla game. Please see the 'Checklist Item #15 & 16' entries in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide regarding the need to run both TES4LL and FNVLODGen.

when using the normal meshes bat of the FNV version of TES4LL, this is what the window puts out:

i guess that's not how it is supposed to look, right?

Also, the log file is empty after running the batch file.

 

after that, using FNVLodGen, generating LODs for ALL worldspaces and adding them in a 7z via MO, added some more details, but the water surface is still missing while the texture glitch also didn't get fixed.

 

Literally the entire Colorado River water is missing over the whole map. i can see the loaded grid squares inside the water when using TCL to float over it. I don't think it is a problem with the LODs.

you can clearly see the loaded grid squares in this screenshot, and the distant LOD of the hills seems to be just fine. it's only glitching out where the water should be.

 

 

EDIT:

I got TES4LL to run as intended.

It also did change something, namely the stretched out glitched textures are gone. BUT instead it now looks like this:

Water still missing, same for unloaded grids INSIDE of the river.

1. You have the game installed under the "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder tree. This will cause you problems. Please see the "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" article in my signature.

 

2. Are you running a "post processor" such as ENB or SweetFX? If so, please see the 'Issue: ENB Transparency/Translucency problem' entry in the 'Solutions to Post-Processor (ENB/SweetFX et. al.) problems' section in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

3. If not using a "post processor", try changing "Water displacement" in the game options.
