Graphics corruption in Fallout 4 since 1.3 patch - Page 6

DJohn24 · ‎03-04-2016

Since Fallout 4's 1.3(.47) patch, I (and many, many others) have been experiencing texture issues that make the game unplayable. I have an Iris 5100, but the problem seems to be universal across all Intel GPUs, regardless of hardware.

More images are in this gallery http://imgur.com/a/K5wa2 here. Basically, the textures stretch and warp, almost always obscuring your view and looking like a mess. It's interesting to note that this does not happen to player/character models, although it's difficult to discern what these textures originally were to begin with. Updating to the latest beta driver does not fix it (although I'd never seen the bright red texture glitch in the gallery before it, so... there's that).

I originally believed this to be a problem combining Apple hardware (I'm using a late-2013 rMBP) with the Intel GPU, which is not officially supported by Bethesda (the game's publisher), but since then I've encountered many people across the internet on other hardware who are encountering the same issue. In fact, there seems to be something about the 1.3 update that screwed up textures for a lot of people with integrated graphics, including those with AMD.

Someone will probably inevitably say that Apple has requested that all issues with their products should be directed through their support, but quite frankly, this doesn't seem like an Apple problem (and the Apple person I talked to agreed with me, saying they can only work to apply fixes within OS X). The game was made by Bethesda, runs solely in a Windows environment, and the common denominator seems to be the Intel GPU. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1588208-texture-glitches-after-update/ Bethesda is aware of the problem, but are under no obligation to support users of hardware they never offered support to. While I don't know much about driver programming, I feel like this is an issue that will most likely be solved by you at Intel if it is solved at all. You also are under no obligation to solve the problem, and if you can't, no hard feelings (really). This GPU has felt like "the little graphics card that could", given the amount I've put it through, and this is the first game I've encountered that is entirely unplayable because of it.

I unknowingly solved the crashing problems already known by installing http://enbdev.com/download_mod_fallout4.htm ENBoost, a utility that is known to boost performance -- for some reason it completely stops the crashing other Intel users have been experiencing. The game runs just fine on versions 1.1 (release) and 1.2, and I'm continuing to play the game thanks to http://www.speedrun.com/Fallout_4/thread/fvo80 downgrade patches, but any future content will be unavailable unless the issue is fixed.

I've attached the Intel SSU diagnostics, DxDiag, and DispDiag for reference, but a summary of my system specs is as follows: Macbook Pro Retina, Late-2013, Intel Core i5-4258U CPU @ 2.40GHz, Intel Iris Graphics 5100, 8GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro, graphics driver version 20.19.15.4380 (which I think is the beta driver? don't know what else it would be, since I turned auto-updates off and haven't installed another since). I was previously on the last stable release, which I found to run significantly better than the Apple-provided one that installs during Boot Camp.

Sorry for the info dump, I'm just really interested in helping to figure out a solution if possible. I know this has been posted about a few times as well, hope this isn't a problem as I didn't want to hijack any more threads. If there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know -- I'm hoping I'll be able to get some users not on Apple hardware to post their information as well. Thank you in advance!

i am waiting of Intel GT4 Technology. I hope we can with it Play all games without Problem

CCris2 · ‎06-21-2016

You will not be able to play any of the games are not working at the moment, even on GT4, because those games are payed to work only on nvidia or amd ... For those games to work Intel need to do reverse engineering to modify the driver to work with them, which we will never see

CCris2 · ‎06-22-2016

You should modify this:

iTexMipMapSkip=2 to -1

It helps on texture loading, and you get less lag and stuttering.

Also if you started the game before patch 1.3 then you need to restart it again from lvl 0, or you need to wait till corpses disappear or you will still have the texture bug ...

Anyone getting nonstop crash to desktop after the update?

CCris2 · ‎06-23-2016

I got Driver stopped responding and has recovered in windows 8.1.

JCote2 · ‎06-23-2016

are you able to start the game at all?

CCris2 · ‎06-23-2016

You mean you can't start the game ?

You have to try more, it happens to me also.

JCote2 · ‎06-23-2016

well i'm not getting a graphics crash, and I have turned off all my mods.... and it just won't come up. I've tried it a loooooot. I even disabled the new dlc. I'm trying downloading the game over again and seeing about that.

CCris2 · ‎06-26-2016

Try delete all .ini files from Documents/My Games/Fallout4 and launch the Launcher let it create them again then modify them again if needed. It seems that they modified something on the .ini files reading.

Also there is a problem with F4SE script extender, if you use it. You need last version http://f4se.silverlock.org/ Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)

On windows 10 I don't get driver crash, only on windows 8.1 which is a bit strange, and still believe it has something to do with drivers.

CCris2 · ‎06-28-2016

On last version of fallout I reached to a point that I can replicate a driver stopped responding issue, in windows 10 also ... So it is a driver issue ...

Hi,

I downloaded new beta,

The 4474 I think

It works well with preliminary test with a new game.

At least the house was shown fine.

I'll do more tests tonight..

NPres3 · ‎06-29-2016

hello, there's still the problem of texture or now works without changing anything?

CCris2 · ‎06-29-2016

The problem is still there. It is even a startup problem on Intel igpu's .

sshau2 · ‎06-30-2016

Sorry all,

its still a no go!

things seems to have changed.. the corruption is different on mine now...

It's no way as bad.. its like I have floating picture frames and some objects just dont get displayed...

sshau2 · ‎06-30-2016

I know it possibly wont help, but worth a try,

I have formally lodged to bethesda the issues we have with a detailed info on how we solve it with the ini tweaks.

I have provided screen shots and added a heap of other info.

I hope to see a bright future!! but we will see!

CCris2 · ‎06-30-2016

Well, I think you made a mistake but, we will see. They might make it even harder to tweak it ...

MSchu28 · ‎07-06-2016

Guys, the gore crash problem can only be solved by changing the ini files? I'm begining to get bored to play without gore

KDelg · ‎07-11-2016

Haven't replied in a while to this. But I did end up starting a new character since the glitching remained in some places due to the saved gore on corpses. With the new character, the only texture issues I have seen so far have been on some roofs. But nothing to the extent I was getting before.

I am able to go to areas of the game now where it would CTD within seconds before the gore fix. Only had one CTD so far with the new save. Frame rates are all over the place (10 - 60), but everything has been playable and I can play for 1-2 hours with no problems (maybe 30 minutes before, and I don't have enough time to play to see how it goes beyond 2 hours).

I can live without the gore stuff, tbh.

sshau2 · ‎08-10-2016

Hi Everyone,

I have created a new forum post trying to get intel attention, it might have worked.

I have been asked to submit a report.

can people here also try sending the report., be sure to reset the fallout.ini setings that kind of fixes the corruption as this is fault any findings.

I simply copy and pasted the big form onto the new post and filled it out..

if we get many posts with the form intel might take it more serious... and especially if the report shows it happens to all kinds of computers instead of being just mine...

CHEERS

sshau2 · ‎09-07-2016

Hi,

It's fixed, finally it's fixed..

driver 4501..

in my other post I was given some news that intel were close

have a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CCris2 · ‎09-07-2016

Yes, I already have the last driver and it is working. It seems that some other problems not related to fallout were fixed too (maybe there were related and fixing fallout problems fixed the others too,who knows ).
