Objects which are frequently invisible in settlements

[Cranky Cat]

I've had this issue constantly with certain settlement objects not rendering completely. Like the "Small Barge" object in the Egret Marina where the barge is invisible but you can see some of the trim items but not the big base piece. Another is the "Crater Bridge" (I think) the planks across the opening to the marina boathouse and from the checkpoint plot at the top of the warehouse to the ground. Another example is the Country Crossroads settlement tower where the settlement desk is place. The items affected are consistent. If I rebuild the settlement they usually show temporarily but if I try to add a new copy of the same item with the Project Blueprint mods then the new item is also affected. If I replace the invisible item with an approximation from vanilla or another mod then the new item isn't affected.

This is always the same objects though even after starting over.

Does anyone else have this happen? Any idea if there are issues with those objects or a way to avoid this?

I had a similar issue that was solved by updating my video drivers. (All my placed turrets were invisible after placement ...). Try updating if you can.

I doubt it's the driver I keep drivers up to date and I had this happen a year or so ago too. Same settlement objects and everything.

Maybe their textures or materials are odd for some reason which keeps them from loading most of the time.

Unfortunately, this is something outside of our control. The models and textures are from the base game. Some users have this issue with SCOL objects as well.

Yag is likely right that it has to do with certain video cards and settings. Though there's no guarantee updated drivers will fix it. Hooray for the Creation Engine!

Dang! I'll just keep replacing the problem objects with other versions I find in my workshop menu then.
