Bad textures in mass effect 3
I am having an issues with textures in Mass effect 3 , As you can see in the video i have linked, texturing is weird in Mass effect 3. Both in the starting screen and in multiplayer. I have problems with SW battlefront 2 as well, but since that one came a while ago i believe it is two diferent problems that are not connected and will treat them as such. The linked video shows the bad texturing. This is a game that has worked for 10 years pluss, so it is weird that it should occur now. In the video i am playing multiplayer, but the bad texturing is present in the single player campaign as well. With faces being black and distorted by black areas. If needed i can upload a video of that as well. You can ignore the part of the video that shows Sw battlefront 2.
The issues with texturing in mass effect started less than 24 hours ago. I thought it might have had to do with getting windows 11 on my pc, but after rolling back to windows 10 i stil have the problem.
I have tried a reinstall of both origin and mass effect.
I am sorry if i have placed this in the wrong forum.
Video on youtube showing the problems:
@Grimjarn I had this exact same problem before. Did you in the past have a texture mod installed? Here's what was wrong in my case:
I had previously installed a high res texture mod (ALOT) which applied config tweaks. After uninstalling the game and then installing it again at some later date, the problem started occurring. That's because deinstallation removes all game files, including modded texture, but all config files in the Documents folder are untouched. You probably have regular old textures installed but your config file has LOD settings meant for a high res texture mod.The solution is to remove your config file so the game is forced to create a new one.
I think the file you have to delete is GamerSettings.ini located in Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\Config
