Hair not loading

[Metadis]

Hi,

A few months back I was having an issue where all hair presets would not load. So every character had only a few strands of hair no matter which hair preset to load.

I have since reformatted my pc and decided to give it a go again only to be shocked to find that the same issue is still present!

This is happening even after just downloading the latest version and not downloading anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Even when you load the buit-in scene "3 point-light setup" with the blonde lady in a blue outfit?

I think this is some option in AMD drivers that does that. Do you have a AMD GPU?
Try setting defaults in those drivers, it's some option I cannot recall the name but I've seen this before.

I do actually yes? 7900 XTX!
Gosh.. I have no idea if I have set anything differently but thank you. I will try and mess with it now and see what happens!
I will come back and let you know soon enough if I figure it out!

woah..
I simply forced Anistrophic filtering from 16 to off and Tessalation from Over ride to default and BAM!

Many thanks!

Edit: After testing a bit more. It's Tessellation that was causing the issue here!

I had it set to Override, So choose VAM game profile and set it to AMD Optimised to solve this problem" For anyone else that runs in this problem. "

It may be a very small guide, but if you could make a guide describing the problem and fix it could help others coming across this problem. Leaving it in the forum will eventually be lost after a while like the other posts I've seen about it.

Sure thing, When you suggest writing a guide, do you just want me to write a quick guide right here in this post? or is there another guide section somewhere on this site?

Thank you Atani.


I have created a quick guide:

Hair not loading? Here's the fix - Guides -

Hi Vam-ers, I recently ran into an issue where every character had little to no hair at all. I figured it was an error or some random weird issue. NO matter what I did, nothing work. I reformatted the system and low and be-hold, the issue...

I've not done this before so if you recommend any changes with the post then please let me know.



Kind regards,
