Hairworks problem...please help!

Hi guys,

after the patch 1.10 i'm facing this annoying issue with the hairworks...whenever I pause the game (by console or simply with main menu), evrything about hairworks goes mad..look at the pics below...it happends with Geralt hair and monster\animal fur as well...if I turn hairworks off i got no problem...tried to remove all the mods or changing video drivers...nothing seems to help..anybody can help me?? Thnx in advance!

Weird.

0.) Remove any mods. Be sure to follow the mod creator's uninstallation instructions to the letter. Then, delete all files from any mod manager directories or the game's installation directory.

1.) Restore all settings to default in-game as well as through your GPU control panel.

2.) Delete your user.settings file along with all other files in that directory. Do NOT delete the gamesaves folder.

3.) Validate your installation through Steam/GOG.

It's nothing related to mods because I had the same problem before I started to install mods. The only difference is that once the floating hairwors were flipping instead to be static...so at least in that way I was able to take screens anyway trying a few times, as hair and fur were flipping between where they supposed to be and floating (don't know if I made myself clear sorry)...but in this way as they floating in a static way it's impossible to take a screen in motion...

uninstall the game, delete user.settigs, install game with updates until patch 1.11

Don't get me wrong, thanx for the suggestions but what I'm trying to do is exactly avoid an unistallation...have a very poor connection it will take me ages to download again all the Patches+dlc+expansion...does anything come to your mind about what could be the wrong setting that generate the floating??

Try to disable then re enable hairworks again goodluck.

Do yourself a favor and just turn that hairworks shite off.

It's a rendering error, likely either corrupted data for a texture/shader package or a driver issue. Definitely follow the steps above. (Just skip step zero if you don't use mods.)

If you've made any changes in your GPU Control Panel, restore them to defaults. If that doesn't work, reinstall your drivers with a CLEAN install. Then reinstall DirectX. If that still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of options, I'm afraid.

Well I've found the source of the problem...something inside my user.settings file...indeed deleting it and download it vanilla from GOG I have no longer floating hairworks...question is: which settings is responsable??? I've checked the two files and they are totally different...here they are...any hint?

No idea exactly -- it's probably just a result of changes made to the engine during the last update. You had a leftover user.settings that contained values that conflicted with the newer and greater* changes.

(*newer and greater is a trademark of the Positive Thinking Bureau. Actual experience may vary. Please note that changes may not actually be newer and/or greater.)
