Thank you for this, I got CTD in goodneighbours after generating LOD, then I placed your esp at the end of my load order and it fixed it. I also have another similar CTD (same crashlog) upon entering the Boston library, I know this place also have some kind of LOD as you can see outside from some windows plus the garden inside do you think your workaround can be edited to also cover this place ?
Thanks for the feedback. As for the library: i edited so called child worldspaces, there is only three of those in the vanilla game. The library on the other hand is an interior cell. Just checked in xedit, for those there is a similar flag (use distantLOD only, at the top of the cell info). You could try disabeling that. Not sure if this will cause issues in the long run.
Not sure btw. that your CTDs are caused by LODs. Do you have any mod installed that fixes precombines?
Hi, Yes I use Previsibines Repair Pack (PRP) with the compatibility patch for desperado, SIM settlement 2. I could be wrong but the crashlog was identical to the one I got in goodneighbours, I'm open to suggestions
PRP never realy worked for me in VR, but that started with its dependency of the newest unofficial patch and exiting the vault. Crash logger, that had some false flags for me in the past. Still usefull.
As mentioned above, you could try setting the flag flase/disable it. (make a hard save to be sure).
If that doesn't work you could check which of your mod edit the cell.
Ok I'll try the flag thing and report back here if I was successful
The only issue I had with PRP is periodically missing texture and it goes back to normal after a few seconds but desperado needs that mod now so I'm gonna keep it. As for the vault door with the unofficial patch, I think a mod fix it.
i got the fix by gingas for the door, still no luck. For desparados i use the older version with its own precombines to avoid PRP. But if it works for you i would not change that.
Changing the flag is at least an easy try. Just make sure its also the last mod to edit that cell.
any mods touching that specific cell. Any mods that affect super mutants? Apart from that you could post a crash log on the reddit and see if anyone (usually rollingrock) can decipher the crashlog
Found the culprit ! The generated LOD in meshes/landscape/commonwealth/objects cause the CTD I found a few that caused instant CTD in the library, I use some mods to generate them with xlodgen so I can't tell which one for sure... I moved them looted the place and went on. I don't know what I could now beside rerun Xlodgen with another LOD mod combos and hope for the best. Thank you for the help, I'll report if I ever find some other usefull thing
Gonna necro this again as I went again at the library and CTD again ! This time, I edited your mod to also disable the use distantLOD only tag in the boston library, it fixes it for me. I could or send the fix if anyone need it, but it seems only me and my dirty LOD generation have the issue.
This mod is a miracle. I was playing VR with a lot of mods, finally got around to visiting Diamond City and experienced endless CTDs. The thought of figuring out which mod caused it was soul-crushing, so I was about ready to give up the game. Then I randomly found this mod, installed, and it instantly fixed it! Amazing!
I know this is old, but just dropping a note of thanks for this mod. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was causing the CTD every time I tried to go into DC. Disabling mods, ect wasn't producing results, so I tried a google search and this mod popped up. Installed it, booted the game up and BAM! No more CTD and I swear it's added a few FPS, although that could just be in my head.
Regardless, in June of 2022 this mod still works perfectly for the VR version (didn't test on pancake).
Thank you for your feedback and endorsement. Glad to hear this little tweak still helps other players. Sadly its still a rough workaround with its own drawbacks, i hope someone will come up with a better solution
Thank you so much for this... Fallout 4 VR was unplayable by the time you got to DC for me, and this fixed that issue and made the game much more stable (many fewer CTD).
it's probably related to badly made custom lod. if lod wasn't made properly (it needs to have "no vertex colors" and "no tangents" enabled and "use backlight power" disabled to work right apparently) it'll crash when loaded inside diamond city or goodneighbor, (or any interior cell that shows it if it has too many uncombined objects). this mod disables the lod in these areas, circumventing the crash. obviously if you get high enough and look outside the walls you'll see the problem, with the city now floating in the center of a huge empty space like fo3/nv small worlds did, but it's much better than crashing.
