Rainbow LOD? : IV

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:21 pm

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem with my game. All the LOD has turned into a very colorful landscape. You can see it on http://img823.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1hq.png/screenshot. I haven't recently installed anything that does stuff with my LOD, so I find it very weird. I did install a new nVidia driver, and the problems might have started after that, but I don't know if that is possible.

And the trees are acting weird, they change shape depending on how close I am to them. Here's comparison pictures: http://img16.imageshack.us/i/screenshot3yy.png// http://img834.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2m.png/

And here's my load order, but I don't think that it has anything to do with it.

Colorful LOD - Looks like tes4qlod generated maps to me which do not save in right dds format. Try Vibrant LOD and Normal Maps.

Trees that change ..Trees has LOD themselves.. Which can change dramitcally from time to time. Has leaves and branches disappear far away and up close appear.

What mods do you have installed that are changing trees aka mesh replacers..

I noticed this with RPG BlackDragon Tree Replacer or Low Poly trees. Trees far away would be vanilla and those close up would be those changed by RPG stuff. This is a lod bug itself with speedtree models. Some withing the model themselves.

I'll try to install Vibrant LOD then, see if it works.

And the trees started acting weird at the same time that the LOD got rainbowy. I did run TES4LODGEN right before this happened. And I don't use any tree replacers.
