Niggler's load order issues

Post by Niggler »

Any redundancies or incompatibilities or other **** that y'all are aware of that I'm not? I wanna start my first playthrough with RR, NA and Really Shadowheart soon, but I just know I'm gonna have to download a bunch of files and see what other mods could be a good addition for when I start. I also wanna see if I'm structuring my load order properly

Looks fine, except I think Origin Dialog Tags might override NA localization changes. Dunno if NA overrides any origin specific lines, but that's why a mod like OIO - Overexplained Interaction Options is incompatible

When you install RR, put that early in your load order and put NA late

And uninstall Astarion Kisses Revamped. You are not homosexual

Wasn't gonna romance Astarion anyway so I guess I don't need that

And I used Origin Dialogue tags for my first Dark Urge playthrough so I knew which dialogue options were Durge specific, etc.

Also, would I put NA before or after Really Shadowheart? I usually have RS around the bottom of my load order

Almost certainly doesn't matter, but I would put Really Shadowheart lower

Also, idk if it's my hardware but BG3's always taken a long time to load scripts and assets even on Vulkan, especially since the latest ******** "hotfixes" earlier this year, and idk if I should wait a couple weeks for my new hardware to come in or if it can be fixed in settings

Current hardware:

I think its your hardware. I've been using a better but still low-end machine since BG3 launched and it loads pretty quick.

It's not the loading screens that are the problem, it's assets loading slow after the end of the loading screen, like the nautiloid crash cutscene and Aylin flying to Moonrise

Apparently RR Heads needs BG3SE v32 even though it doesn't exist? I keep repeatedly extracting script extender from BG3MM and even checked Norbyte's GitHub and there's no v32 of BG3SE

I saw the popup on launch and see no path in bg3mm according to the directions given, so I hope norbyte gets off his *** by the time my **** comes...

Edit: Nvm, I'm an impatient ******, lemme try to figure this out...

A few pages back lore tells you how to get around that. Turn developer option on. Beta downloads.

Funny thing is my game runs a lot better on vulkan and assets take literal minutes to load on dx11, to the point the entirety of the nautiloid crash scene and aylin flying to moonrise looks like game dev land, my friend said she ran the experimental script extender and didn't have the problem so it might be my load order, idk

I was confused and wrote that Shadowheart's hands and ear jewelry were pitch black and missing textures and that maybe being a problem with my load order

As for my performance issues, I and multiple other people made bug reports to Larian about terrible performance since the hotfixes, even some players with top specs used to have problems with textures and assets taking forever to load even after the loading screen, especially in Act 3. Now even in Act 1 the game just feels slower because the ***** skeleton crew at Larian decided they needed to suck off cryfaggots whining about corrupted saves when all they have to do is just delete and restart.

Now the issue I'm speaking about with missing textures is with the CSS Selune Earrings and Shadowheart's hands

Here's my load order:

Now that I see and think on the missing textures, it could either be a conflict or a misprioritized load order between RR and the Human Females and Shadowheart Hand Texture Fix https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/20646, Maiden of the Night - Selune Selunite Outfits https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/19219, and Commanderstrawberry Virtual Texture Bank https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/16845 that the Selune Outfit needs

Edit: Most likely a conflict. I was really hoping I could run these mods together because I like the Selune Earrings on the character I wanna play and I don't want those ******** veins on Shadowheart and whatever human/half-elf I wanna play

Was it vtex limit being hit causing the hands issue?

It might've either been that or load order arrangment. I removed the CSS VT mod and replaced it with non VT and put the Hand Fix before RR and all problems are solved. Now I just gotta wait for my upgrade and I can have a better time getting started
