Black Shadow Patches and Black Pipboy

Post by **eslehto** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 9:40 pm

So I've been playing TTW for a month. After a little while in the game. My game would make black shadows on face, ground and some texture, the shadow distance is very low and so forth. I can't figure out why, I reload and it's fine for a while. This seems to happen after night in villana ttw. Only mods used are DarnUI, UIO and everything else TTW. Can someone help me?

First I'm playing on AMD Radion 6 laptop, second, I would need to play again before getting screen shots. So when I've seen it again. I'll take a few screen shots and upload them here.

Things turning black is a sign of video card failure.

Here's some screen shots

This only happens on New Vegas, not orginal three or Skyrim. I don't know what's going on. It seems to happen after AUTO save is loaded as well. I'm also thinking a few things.

The only mods I'm using are centered 3rd person, DarnUI and UIO. The rest is TTW related, and Delay DLCs. It's wierd the shadows are doing this in daylight hours.

this is the black head bug, it's very annoying

there can be multiple causes of this bug

1. archive invalidation needs reapplied

2. lack of ram issue when using texture mods

3. the EGT setting in the ini is not present

4. bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1 is set to 0 instead

5. using FNV4GB with the switch to rename the exe, for ex -laaexe FalloutNV4GB.exe and then not creating a profile for that exe

Thank you for your help?

1. I'm using MO, the AI is always used. I'll work on that.

2. Lack of RAM, how much RAM is needed. I have only 4 gb of RAM and 2gb of VRAM.

3 and 4. The ini file is set to 1, but do I need it on pref as well?

5. I run in on 4gb patch all the time, I don't use laaexe in extension.

However, I'm having trouble with FNVSR slow down so I remove it. I'll continue to work on figuring it out. I may have re-install 4gb patch again.

Edit: I did the fnvpref.ini to have 1. I'll check to see if this is problem. If not, I'll have to re-install 4gb patch again.
