Load order issue : Fallout 3

» Tue May 17, 2011 2:40 pm

I just Started playing today and the Textures from the ground and other buildings are appearing in the sky just as basic DDS files. If you need my load order I would be glad to oblige but I was wondering if this was a common occurance.

I just Unchecked every mod minus expansion and I still had the same issue. I even had the textures for the Crosswalk signs come up in the sky. I don't understand what happened I'm almost tempted to do a reinstall.

If you have http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640, open it up and click the button that says "Toggle invalidation". Load up your game and see if that fixed it

I toggled it off and the sky went back to normal and then when I toggled it back on The textures started reappearing in the sky. It's frustrating

There's no need to toggle archive invalidation back off. This is needed as long as you're using mods so keep it on.

One option, especially if you have trouble running FOMM or you think FOMM's Invaidation toggle may not be working, would be to use http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 which has a self-installer that makes all the .ini file changes for you!

There's also another alternative: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2094, a very handy little utility which has some really useful tools, including turning on and off ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated.

None of it worked. But I unchecked every mod and I still had the problem It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. Any other ideas? Do you think I should uninstall and reinstall?

In your Fallout 3 Data/Textures folder, is there a folder named "sky"? If there is, try renaming it to sky.bak and then see if the problem persists- it looks like a landscape texture was renamed and snuck into your "sky" folder. Unlikely sure, but why not try it before reinstalling?

The thing is, is that it isn't just the one texture it's every texture in the game. every time I change angles on my camera the texture changes to something else.
Edit: Oh it worked Thank you SO much it was so bothersome. It looks great now and everything is working fine. Now to take some screenshots for the character thread

No problem. It's always nice when the solution is simple.

Now I'm having a problem with static objects in the game like computer and I'm having problems with some bottles too. Man what happened -_-
