Thicket Excavation

[Mastima]

Anyone else been to this site? The graphics here are completely screwed, so much so I can't even finish this quest. Theres weird popins over all the walls. Ill load a few screenshots later. Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.

I wonder if walking close enough to get the map marker to appear, then leaving and using the map marker with "fast travel" to get back instead of walking back would keep it from happening. That way you wouldn't load the low res textures from far off, then switch to high-res as you get closer - because you'd instantly pop into existence already in close enough range for the game to never use the low res textures in the first place. (maybe?)

Same here, this location is f'cked up, it loads one time and another one it's just a block of white texture. Here is the thing, if you save and go back to main menu, then load your save it loads it perfectly. Quick save and quickload don't do the trick.
The game needs to drop all buff from ram and refresh it, then it's fixed. I've seen few more location that were like that, like that door at the junkyard NE from Sanctuary etc.

Had the issue, quick saved and then quick load, problem gone.

Yeah that is a simpler workaound than what I suggested, and it basically has the same effect. Good suggestion.

Basically it does the same thing but in less steps. By loading the game polygons from scratch when you are *already* in close proximity to the problem area, it ends up only loading the local (higher density) version of the area, and not loading the distant (lower density) version first, as it would do if you walked up to the area from afar. The bug seems to be that it's failing to remove the distant low density version when you get close enough to load the local high density version, so it's ending up with both present at the same time.

I only experienced the LOD issue the first time I visited it, its not happened since (been there 4-5 more times).

oh yeah wtf is going on with thicket excavations.. stuff is hella screwed up there.

and i know it isn't my computer as i just had a clean install of windows 10 off new drives freshly installed. New samsung 500g ssd where i am playing fallout from. So no software issue, and hardware was fully tested. All drivers up to date.

i7 4770k, gtx 780 Ti superlocked, 16gb ram, etc..

that quicksave stuff doesn't work btw

[CruX]

Nor does restarting .. unless i have to keep restarting until it shows.. w/e..

Are they even aware of this bug? Hopefully there is a fix in the works.

i too am having this problem, but it only seems to affect Thicket Excavations

Going to have to wait for a patch because most everyone gets this and quicksave nor making a new charr works on correcting this. The clipping and low res loading is deff a bad code in the game not anyones computer.

[EDDr0p]

there is a mod on nexus that fix that area, and upgrades the textures a bit too!

This glitch really sucks with the new survival mode. can't do the old workaround of saving and reloading. Tried the ENBoost, and it didn't fix it.....

Ahhh, here it is, October 16, 2018 and this STILL doesn't work right.

Do you have mods installed?
Put

bUseCombinedObjects=0

in the [General] section of your Fallout4.ini (or make it 0 if it is already set to 1)

maybe that will help.
