Bugsbugme Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Does anybody know if there are any issues with Steam on Windows 8 and Fallout New Vegas? Something keeps corrupting the game files. Even textures from mods keep getting corrupted. It is very annoying... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Have you installed Steam outside of the program files? If not then you should, the corruption could be a gift from UAC. If you google "move steam" you'll find instructions, it's really easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsbugme Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Actually, in Windows 7 I never had any problems in that area so I just let it install to the default location however in Windows 8 I did change it to the C: drive thinking: "Just in case". Could it be that I'm simply trying to throw too many mods at it and the game is corrupting itself? I also use an SSD drive to accelerate my main hard drive using Intel RST, could that have something to do with it? The problem wasn't present in Windows 7 which is why I think it might have something to do with Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 How many mods are you running? too many and things can fall apart, my game started falling apart at the 125 mark, some get away with more though. Missing and incorrect textures being one problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsbugme Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well there is 130 but after the bash patch there is 111. It seems to be ok at the moment though, except that it crashes when reloading after dying and things but I think that is a different issue.

JimboUK Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If reducing the number has made the texture thing go away then it may have been that, I had a terrible mess on my hands when I had too many loaded. On the crashing its probably worth posting your load order so people can have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsbugme Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I know the thing you mean about the textures, I've experienced that myself. This is different though, the textures are there but they have strange lines through them like they are broken. It mostly just happens in the land textures but I noticed it on the grass as well but at the moment it's just happening to the land textures. http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa360/Serenity211/ScreenShot0.png http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa360/Serenity211/ScreenShot1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsbugme Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Ok for anyone who wants to know, I think I have fixed this. I'm using a lot of texture replacements (NMC, POCO etc.). I used the Optimizer Textures tool and re burned mipmaps into the textures which seems to have fixed those strange lines.
