sickanddying Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think i might have screwed up my game with some texture file. All of the lights go pixley when i have the bInvalidateOlderFiles setting in the fallout.ini to 1. When it is 0 all of the lights (this includes nuke explosions, laser barrel and impact, and most lights) are fine, which has led me to believe that it was a mod i installed and not the graphics card problem some people are having becuase before i started installing lots of mods (I think i had maybe 5 before this started) it was fine. I have been trying to experiment by deleting files, but when i delete some file it just makes the game crash. I don't have a backup for the original Data folder and am thinking i should have made one now. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnySnatcher Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Simple try deleting all of the mod files there (or move your data folder to a flash drive) and re-install fallout. Should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickanddying Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 So if i copy the data folder off my computer, uninstall, and then reinstall there will be a new data folder there?... If thats true i feel quite stupid for not thinking of it. Edit: oh and i cant remember all of the mod files that i installed thats why i wanted to clean data folder as a reference.

That should work. Then your game should be fine. If it's not it is probably your computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickanddying Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 You sir are my hero! i can finally play with mods that edit textures and meshes! Explosions and lights are completely fixed. I have been dealing with this for at least 3 weeks and i am sooooooo happy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
