Hall Of Mirrors Fix for Vault 88 Megabuilds

If you massively overbuild Vault 88 you might get a graphics bug described as:

• []hall of mirrors

  []screen tearing

  []buffered redraw failure

  To my knowledge there is no fix for this effect other than to reduce the Object LOD in the Fallout4.ini. However, doing so will reduce the Object LOD for the whole gameworld and not just for Vault 88. So, I did this little mod to solve this problem for my Vault 88 Megabuild.

  How it works

  When getting close to one of the Vault 88 entrances the mod will reduce the LOD settings. The reduced setting are applied only on enter of Vault 88 (loading screen). When leaving Vault 88 (loading screen) the default LOD settings are reapplied. Very simple but it works!

  Fast traveling into Vault 88 and load of a save made in Vault 88 are a bit tricky. The mod tries to apply the reduced settings as soon as it detects a location change to Vault 88 or a load of the Vault 88 location. However, it happens that the reduced LOD settings were not applied in time (prior to loading). In this case leave the vault and re-enter through a regular entrance.

  Configuration

  Having installed the mod you will find Vault88LODReset.txt in your Fallout4 data directory. With this textfile you can configure the mods global variables for your game settings (read it!).

  The mod is pre-configured for PC's running the game on ultra settings with a massive overbuild Vault 88:

  Default settings:

  fLODFadeOutMultObjects=30. 0000

  fLODFadeOutMultItems=10. 0000

  Vault 88 settings:

  fLODFadeOutMultObjects=3. 5000

  fLODFadeOutMultItems=10. 0000

  • []Identify your game settings in the section of your Fallout4.ini and change the corresponding default values in the Vault88LODReset.txt.

    []The reduced Vault88 values you have to find out yourself. The reduced values should (of course) not exceed the default values and the fLODFadeOutMultObjects most probaply has to be below 5. 0000 (the 3. 5000 is for massive overbuilds - try if 4. 5000 or 4. 0000 already works for your game). Reducing the fLODFadeOutMultItems on top might give a little better fps.

    []Start the game, open console and execute the Vault88LODReset.txt with the following command: bat Vault88LODReset

    Alternatively you can change the global variables addressed in Vault88LODReset.txt using FO4Edit.
