Graphical weirdness in the Fringe : IV

» Sun Nov 21, 2010 11:48 pm

I have http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/18688/849707.jpg during the the Retaking of the Fringe part of the SI MQ. Distant parts turn black or grey and there are colored blobs that turn up or disappear as my char moves around. I had a similar issue during the last play through and even made a thread about it IIRC - but it looks even worse (the yellow/red/blue blobs) this time around.

What on earth can cause this? I'm using the following mods that perhaps might affect it:

All Natural SI - Version 1.0
REALLY Almost Everything Visible When Distant: SI Edition - Version 1.5
ZuTheSkunks Shivering Isles Overhaul v0103 [doubt it would affect graphics like this]

Anyone who has an idea what it might be and what can be done about it?

Most probable is that you need to update RAEVWD to 1.8. The SI meshes and textures went through quite a bit of fixing up which should help with the black VWD and probably the blobs too.

Thanks. I didn't know I was that far behind with RAEVWD SI. I've updated it to 1.8 and http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/18688/849781.jpg. The distant LODs are fine now and less overall whiteness, but I still have the blobs and the "invisible" and blurry parts in the distance. Weirdness.

Bump. Anyone who has an idea what might cause this?

You don't happen to have any modded locations in there with custom meshes do you? Otherwise I don't know. That blob is awfully close up to be a VWD artifact.

I'll try loading it w/o ZuTheSkunks Shivering Isles Overhaul and see if that helps - but I had much the same issue on my previous play through when I didn't use ZUSIO. Didn't have the blobs then, though, so it's worth a check up.

EDIT: Nope, it's exactly the same w/o ZUSIO. Don't think I have anything else that adds custom meshes to the Fringe (not sure if ZUSIO does for that matter).

Here's my current load order BTW:
