Misc issues after I finished using the guide.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this, I'll get right to it. I just finished with this guide and so far this is the best I've had my New Vegas running. I did skip out on a couple things due to it not working as it said it would on the guide, like DDSopt and FNVLODGen. I don't have the best computer ever but I can run recent games at high, thought I'd say for an idea of how good my computer is. Anyway, so the only issues I've had so far are weird bugged eye textures on some NPCs, the nights being a lot darker than they should be even with the weather mod, the street lights that are men't to counteract how dark nights are, are very dim, and this could just be my PC but I have FPS drop down to 30 FPS when I'm in combat or when I use the flashlight. By the way, the weather mod I'm using is Realistic Wasteland Lighting. I've also included some screenshots for you to get an idea.

Any help at all would be appreciated, if you need more info I'll be happy to oblige. Thank you again

RWL's current dark setting was added after all the screenshots for the file (always compare those to the file version) so if that is what you're comparing with, it might give you the wrong impression. There is an optional for the previously brighter nights though. Try that if you haven't already. I think that might have an effect on light brightness too, but it was updated after I stopped playing, so I don't know for sure.

 

FPS issues is very hard for me to say. Could be CPU issue, since it happens when scripts usually run (combat/flashlight).

 

I think there are optimised textures on the Nexus if you can't get DDSOpt to work, they should yield a similar result. FNVLODGen improves you visuals a lot, especially with mods that add things, so I'd really recommend that, but I don't know whether the instructions are up to date.

Thank you for replying. But what did you mean brighter nights? If I can fix that I'll be fine.

Check the Nexus page for Realistic Wasteland Lighting, there's a file called RWL - Brighter Nights All 3 versions. Grab that.
