Oblivion Mod:PCS Library/All distant (lod) objects turn black

< Mod / Oblivion: Oblivion Mod: PCS: LOD Issues

ProblemEdit

All objects in the distance turn black.

Cause - Bloom SettingsEdit

This could be evidence of a problem with the game's bloom settings.

Solution: Try turning off bloom or switching to HDR.

Cause - Bad/Missing Far NIFEdit

When the surface of an object appears all black or without detail, it is usually caused by a corrupted or missing 'normal map' (_n.dds) file.
For distant objects this 'normal map' is provided by the (_far.NIF) file.

  • A bad or missing _far.NIF file can cause the related distant object to turn black.
  • A bad or missing _fn.NIF file can cause the related distant terrain to turn black.

Solution: Try uninstalling mods that install _far.NIF/_fn.NIF files until you determine which is causing a conflict.
