GUIDE Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback

[MonoAccipiter]

You tried Old World ENB, darkside? I get a stable 60 FPS with downsampling (rendering at 2560x1440) and SweetFX. Put LOD additions and improvements after game tweaks. Keep them both active after running FNVLODGen.

 

Can confirm the FCO issue here as well. Drumber isn't likely to update FCO any time soon so we should probably just include instructions to rename the file.

Do you use Old World ENB for Nevada Skies? 

[MonoAccipiter]

I do. Haven't made the switch to RWLE yet, but I think it's only some difference in tone. Have to admit I forgot that it was made with NS in mind.

I tried NS with Old World ENB. It looks awesome. I got the same performance as Viradia ENB. 60 FPS everywhere except really heavy area (Strips). Will try Downsampling next.

Have you though of adding New Vegas Uncut 6 - If It Wasn't For Betsy Remastered https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/59265/? to Fear and Loathin ?

No need to use downsampling if you don't have issues with aliasing, it only taxes your performance more. I just mentioned it because our framerates are directly comparable even though my native resolution is 1920x1080.

 

@monyarm: I've had it in my profile for several months but never actually tested it in game.

I have a question about "Spice of Life PN Backpacks Compatibility". When I install this, the 1nivPNSLPatch.esp has now many < Error: Could not be resolved > entries. Can I delete them safely?

- I don't really like current AA setup, too much edge flickering when moving around. Can you share your AA setup? Do you use ENB AA at all? SMAA from SweetFx? Engine native AA? or just Downsampling?

 

I may actually like the Old World ENB without Sweet Fx more.

 

- Does Pipboy texture turned dark when toggle (press Tab) known problem with ENB? Anyway to fix it? I tried to google it, but did get clear answer.

 

Thanks again.

I have a lot of edge flickering no matter what setup I use. Downsampling has helped a bit, but not much. I just use ENB AA + downsampling from the AMD Radeon Control Panel. It was really annoying at first, but when it was between that or not having ambient occlusion at all I kinda learned to live with it.

 

The only thing that helped was temporal AA in the Skyrim ENB, but that was never added to the FNV version, and had some ghosting issues either way.

 

Haven't encountered that pip-boy bug before, do you play with the Steam overlay? That's know to cause issues with ENB.

[Audley]

I thought the aliasing was bad using only SMAA+EdgeAA at 1080p but then I went back and played New Vegas on Xbox 360. The game plays at 720p and has a very low amount of FXAA. It looks awful. The PC version looks great compared to the console ports. So I have just decided that, in comparison, I should be thankful.

Sorry for not responding earlier, I had to check it out for myself. Seems like SRB accidentaly deleted some of the Rayban Glasses when making his patch. I've brought the issue to his attention, but I'd recommend you untick the mod in MO (and use the original plugin) for now.

[EssArrBee]

Seems like that mod may need to remake the PN patch as well. I think it changed some of the formIDs and the patch is broken now.

[Satur9]

Some quick feedback on EssArrBee's replacement plugin for the crossbow mod: it works great! I've only had time to do a quick jog around Goodsprings, but there were no conspicuous framerate issues anywhere I've gone.

 

I'm going to add it to the additional weapons merge and hopefully do a bit more testing tonight, but you seem to have solved the issue.

 

Thanks again, Ess: you're a true hero of the wasteland!

[darkside]

I think I found my ENB. I like Old World ENB, but this one is almost perfect.

 

Lucent ENB using with RWLE and ILO

Just need to tweak interior to be slightly darker, and slightly more contrast. 

 

NOTE - I decided to remove OJO BUENO NUKA-COLA MACHINE and using Populated Carcino - Medium due to performance in Goodsprings and Casinos.
