Egil's Demon Hunter DDS Bug

[Dorabella]

As the title suggests, I'm having a bug with the DDS of the Egil's Demon Hunter mod. The cause is definitely the Skyrim Downgrade.

 

As demonstrated here, before Dongrade, DDS were correct ( see attached video )

 

 

Now, instead, it presents itself like this, with a Fake . With or without ENB, it remains the same

 

Spoiler

 

I already tried removing/reinstalling the mod, but it doesn't change anything

 

My thoughts went to Skyrim.ini to fix . or Skyrimprefs.ini

Any other dress I use that is completely black, does not have this problem

Nifskope, OS , correctly display both meshes and DDS

Fixing this problem is important for me to continue my project.

Fake what? Shine?

Sounds unlikely. While according to SteamDB it's possible the Skyrim texture BSA were changed, the skirt (which I assume is the problem) does not use any vanilla textures.

 

Verify that the MD5 of SkyrimSE.exe 1.6.1170.0 matches the following:

7a44a52dfc92d78f934c4d12ed92f494  SkyrimSE.exe

 

If it doesn't then there's 2 options:

• You're not running 1.6.1170.0.
• The downgrader failed and you now have a hybrid of some kind. May want to scan for malware.

The veil and the skirt have a white patina inside which does not exist in the original mesh, it is completely black.

In fact, Egil's Demon Hunter has its own DDS package, it doesn't even use Skyrim's Cubemaps

 

Skyrim AE 1.6.1170.08 SKSE 2.2.6

I think you forgot to install the LessShiny option:

Egil's Demon Hunter 3BA Darker LessShiny-68166-1-0-1655108885

 

May want to note though that for this specific version I have the following notes:

Issues:

*  The "clothes" item causes a ctd when equipped.

 

No fix from me at least. Didn't seem worth looking into.
