Graphical Glitch

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 1:13 pm

Hi People
In celebration of my hangover (and ofc new years eve), I decided to spend the day playing Oblivion. Instead I spend 4 hours fixing weird graphical glitches. I removed most of them (reinstalling texture packs changing mod load order), but I'm left with 3.
I'm not sure that they necessarily have anything to do with each other, but I hope you could help with some advice.

I removed most of the missing textures by reinstalling Natural Enviroments and Qarls Texture pack, but I'm left with 3 problems:

1. Missing textures on a couple of objects. (Mainly a couple of OOO weapons and some rocks). I imagine this can be fixed manually, but can't figure out how.
2. OBGE seems to be turned on (SSAOE), even though I disabled all it's functions, and removed the shaders in the shaderlist.txt.
3. Flickering lines on watersurface. I'm not sure that can be fixed. Think it's something with my graphicscard.



I've tried reinstalling Qarl's texture pack (and done the archiveinvalidation trick a couple of times), I've reinstalled UOP and I've reinstalled Natural Enviroments. I've tried to run a conflict detection in Obmm, but nothing seems to be wrong.
I have a ATI Radeon 5970HD, AMD Phenoem T1090 x6 and 6gb of ram.
I've tried to export a list of all the mods I'm running, but I can't find out how to do it? And even though I set bAllowscreenshot=1, prnt screen doesn't seem to produce a screenshot? -_-

Any suggestions on how to find the error would be highly appriciated.

Happy New Year!

1.) Download FormID Finder. Use it to track down missing textures.
2.) I don't know. The guys lurking in the OBGE thread may have an answer for that one.
3.) It sounds like you are running the Motion Blur mod. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if so, that's what causing it. Disable the water refraction effect in the mod. That should clear it up.

3 could be about SSAO shader too. For SSAO shader, just remove SSAO shaders from your shaders directory. That will certainly stop them.

For OOO, make sure you have http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1119240-relz-oscuros-oblivion-overhaul-133/, preferably patched to 1.34 Beta 5. Shouldn't be any missing stuff so an upgrade/reinstall should fix it.

As for rocks it sounds like you might have botched an uninstall of a replacer, i.e. that you have a mesh replacer that points to a texture that's not there anymore. Not sure, but that's what I'd check. QTP3 has mesh replacers in meshes/rocks, for example. Anyway, if so a reinstall or reinstall/uninstall via OBMM or BAIN should fix it. Or you could just delete the rocks folders in meshes and textures.

I'm unfortunately unable to try any of your suggestions at the moment. My computer crashed, and has begun freezing every 5 minutes. But when I've fixed that, I'll return to Oblivion :)

One question though, - OOO is the mod that adds rocks under water?

And thank you all for your help!

Yes, it does, via OOO-Water_Weeds.esp (I presume - not using it myself). So if it's those ones you have issues with, installing OOO 1.33 Complete should fix it.

Got my computer up and running. Seemed that I accidently put ram-voltage too high in the Bios (Not good for the computer)

Fixed the graphical glitches by reinstalling OOO and removing OBGE. Instead I got another error with OOO. Apparently the npc levels doesn't work problerly. Just killed a minotaur - and I'm level 1. Think I'll do a clean install of the game and all mods tomorrow.
Now for some sleep!


Thanks to all for the help :)
