The classic "game turns low res bug"

[EDGExRUNNER]

yo guys,
does anyone know a solution to this years long bug that sometimes happens in FO4 where it turns low res graphics out of nowhere?

I once read that it happens when you download graphic mods with different qualitys like 2K and 4K but I carefully only installed 2K for everything so idk what the reason for this is or if mods are even the reason for this and not Bethesdas engine, I dont know.

Any suggestions?

I see, but deleting most of the mods I got right now would probably not fix it since removing mods mid game will probably make it worse than it already is..

Yea you can't do that it will corrupt the save unless you go back to a save point before you installed them

its why its best to complete everything you can in vanilla game, Backup several backup saves and then you can start modding, if something goes wrong you can go back to a complete game backup save

yeah I know, my problem rn or for a couple of days is that the game crashes so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ often. I can literally play for 15 min and the crash happens and I get different EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION ID's every time so I cant even specify what the problem is.
Last couple of days really haven't been fun playing and I am so close to finish Chapter 3 but playing like this is really.. torture

Are you running the wrong version of Buffout?

Are you running buffout at all? Because you should be finding output values that can correspond to your specific mods in buffout.

yup I am running Buffout and the right version of it. (for the downgraded version of FO4)
I am also running high FPS Physics Fix, X-Cell, Baka MaxPapyrusOps, Weapon Debris Crash Fix and so on, all the core mods stuff that you get recommended.

Pretty sure that Baka doesn't work you might want to look into that. It's the only name that I recognize as 'some people have issues'.

Old threads strongly suggest to use ENB and couple parameters to add in .ini files so it can force difuse textures. I just did take a while revisiting 2016-2021 threads. However I'd give up looking for a thread that once long time told to change certain parameters in original game .ini files to revamp texture but I may be missunderstanding the point if there someway to edit without having to search for third party mods or official HDR pack. I'm running on high texture quality and couple times, objects take more time load fully the texture when the world terrain loads faster.

would be weird since I played FO4 for weeks now and nothing happened until a couple of days ago but could also be that it had nothing to complain about until now but like I said idk what it is.
I may have to face it.. that I have to reinstall FO4, only install a handful of mods and SS2 and cheat myself to the current quest cause im not starting this mod from the beginning for the 5th time.

Admittedly, its what I had to do... I have a list of 300 mods that I love..... And I couldn't use any of them with SS2 and keep SS2 chugging along without missed triggers.

I feel ya brother

That is partly why I avoid SS2 even though it does some things I'd really like to experience (plus all the locational items and stuff FOR it that I can't use because it REQUIRES SS2), that is a major bummer.

the thing is up to chapter 3 it really went smooth, maybe had to reload two or three times because an NPC wouldn't talk and thats it but after in chapter 3 the whole mess started.
almost all quests were bugged or my game crashed before, while and after quests.

this then sadly also affected The Fens Sheriff which I was almost done with.. so I can play both from the beginning AGAIN on a thinned modlist.

Perhaps that is something they need to know about. I don't know when that episode came out for the mod, but it's worth investigating.

trust me their page is full of bug reports and everything but its often hard to tell if its their mod or another conflicting since most of us run bigger mod lists although SS2 team even suggest to run as little as possible (which I ignored) cause fallout really needs a lot of mods for me to enjoy it.
Imma try it with only a few mods along SS2 now and see if it goes better

[Zekiran]

I think that's for the best, yeah.

My mod list is such that I would have to throw out like 80% of my must-haves in order to touch Sim Settlements at all and I just will not do that. I LOVE building settlements, so while there's a lot going for the SS2 mod otherwise, I personally don't think I'd get enough out of it to make tossing most of my mod list away.

The whole settlement building in SS2 was really not what I cared about tbh. I just love well written NPC's and quests and SS2 really had good voice actors to catch me and the quest IS fun ngl.
If only it wasn't so buggy and so demanding of all the power your PC has to literally throw out all your other mods..

[Nitemares]

Sim Settlements 2 is a mod that I actually DO recommend people try at least once....

Just because it is so well done!

But the loss of mods is a deal breaker for many, and I can understand that....
@Zekiran if you ever have to rebuild your mod list, before you do, try out sim settlements 2. You may love it, despite the mod restrictions.
