Fallout 3 / New Vegas 0.278

It's been a while, but TTW is still alive and kicking, and my interest in the game is piqued again. Got a question/request about how the game handles lighting.

There is a limit of only 4 lights being able to illuminate an object. If there are more, the game will constantly switch between which lights affect the object, making the object "flash" when the camera is moved. This was avoided by the devs using small subsections of models, to create levels in the game.

But that drives up the draw calls, murdering performance for us AMD CPU plebs. The solution would be to merge completely static objects (not changed at runtime) inside each individual cell, exactly like how FNVLODGen creates LOD meshes. But that completely falls apart when lights come into play.

Would it be possible to have the lighting limit increased? Or is it far too ingrained into the engine?

Without source code it's hardly possible, not worth time effort absolutely. It's game assign lights and switch them, improving shaders do not change that fact and code for such things is usually too long to patch it, require more changes.

Don't know if this is the right place for it, but the GECK crashes with the latest ENB in FalloutNV dir.
If i want to work with the GECK i have to delete the dll everytime and put it when i'm i'm going to play the game.

There is no difference in code which may cause anything like that compared to previous updates, dll is the same.

iirc, this crash (and a few more) was introduced by one of the win10 updates that happened 3-6 months ago. Try using NVAC, it was updated to solve win10 crashes and some of nvidia updated driver crashes as well. It might not help you, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks Xilandro, but i already had NVAC active for a few years, i recently updated but still need to remove ENB dll.
Doesn't really matter, cause when i started up geck before with ENB (when it still worked) it took like 30 seconds before it loaded, and when i remove the dll
it starts immediately, so the time i need to remove the dll is the same as it would be when it would still work, just a few extra clicks.
Was merely curious as to if it was known, now i know it is, but Microsuck related..

Hello, I never used ENB so I have some questions.

Is the ENB Boost is included in ENBseries 0.278 and why is there an ENBoost ( http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19369 ) on Nexus and a memory patcher on ENB ( http://enbdev.com/patch_falloutnv_enboost_v0203.htm ) which is different.

Thank you

[ENBSeries]

All new versions of ENBSeries includes ENBoost. But it doesn't matter what you will use, it's up to you to decide

[PowderKrankenHousen]

So you mean that I don't need to download the ENBoost on nexus and/or the memory patcher here if I use the latest ENBSeries ?
Which is the better ?
