    Hi! Yeah, this issue has already been discussed. Just read a couple of comments above. I've already fixed this issue on my end, but I won't upload it anymore. I've already provided a workaround on how to solve it, DIY. I've also provided instructions on what tools to use and how to do it. With werwolf969's help, it will also make the process quicker. This edit took a lot of my time and effort. Editing 2000+ textures one by one was a pain. That was before werwolf provided the scripts to make it quicker. So, use my edit as base. Then you'll have to fix any bugged textures by yourself. I'm taking down the link to my edit. As you have said, its not viable.

    BC7 is okay. I prefer BC1 as it is smaller in size without a noticeable difference in quality. But yeah, its okay to use BC7.

    This is probably because when I edited the textures on the updated files, I used the SRGB format, which made the textures darker, and at the same time fixed those greenish tints in some of the dark textures. Most files work in that format, but some may not, like in your ss. That is easy to fix. You need to edit and save that texture into BC1 DXT5 Linear format. Then check it in-game if its fixed.

    Yes, CodeX is the main exporter and importer of textures and YTDs in RDR2. Edit the textures in any photo editing software.

    Hi! I've already fixed that in the latest version of my edit. I also just checked it in my game; everything is normal. But if it still bugs in yours, we have already provided instructions on what tools to use and the method of editing. You could try to edit those textures.

    Hey, I dont know about me solving the issue. But thanks for all your kind words. Anyway, here is my new and updated edit of WhyEm textures. The texture discoloration has been fixed, and I think its much more optimized than my previous edit. https://www.mediafire.com/file/dc3w6bz5qrt1u01/WhyEm_DLC_edited_textures_by_vincemeister55.rar/file Enjoy fellers!

    You mean the CodeX program?
  8. vincemeister55
    Sure, man! But I really cant direct you to a certain place. Ive learned only by practicing, trial and error. All you have to do is familiarize yourself with these tools Im about to write below; 1. Install OpenIV - this app can open and export RDR2 texture files. The downside is you cant import back those edited textures of yours, so you need another program. 2. CodeX (recommended but it's a paid program. I happened to snag a copy when somebody uploaded it to Nexus last week), or RDR2 Texture Tool (free and available on Nexus) - any of these tools are what you need to import and create new ytds for RDR2. CodeX is recommended because it can import SRGB format, whereas RDR2 Texture cannot. 3. And lastly, any photo editing software. I use paint.net because its free. P.S - If you can get the CodeX program, then you dont need OpenIV. OpenIV is only needed if you use RDR2 Texture Tool.

    I made an update on my WhyEm DLC textures edit. In my first edit, I change the original B8G8 format of WhyEm textures to BC3 DXT5. It turned out not okay as it messed up the textures, especially the dark textures to have some kind of shade of green. This time, I changed the method to BC1 DXT1 SRGB, and edited the normalmap textures too. The textures are normal in colors now, and the biggest thing is I can use all the textures in WhyEm DLC and still have no despawning issue. If you guys remember, in the first edit, I reported that it didnt fix the despawning issue completely. But, so far this time with my new edit, it is well-optimized now. Im doing this new method for my other texture mods to further optimize it. I just finished editing the AI Upscaled Gore from Improvements of Blood mod, Firearm Cosmetics, Rugged Arthur, Model 1897 Trench Gun, and other big texture mods. I can now use it all together with WhyEm DLC with no despawning issue, unlike before.
  10. vincemeister55
    yes, of course.
  11. vincemeister55
    Yes, but. It's not only WhyEm DLC that caused the problem. There are others too, like Firearm Cosmetics, Terrain Texture Overhaul, among others. WhyEm is just the more popular mod that's why it gets talked about a lot. Also, the File Replacement method that dominator suggested, still can cause the spawning issue. Ive tested it. The good thing about the File Replacement method though is you'll have more leeway in using more big texture mods together unlike the streaming method. But eventually, you'll still reach the limit and the spawning issue. Its just a matter of testing texture mods together to see what's what.
  12. vincemeister55
    oh oaky. Yeah, that's just normal WhyEm. I only deleted a single file, I think its in folder number 2. Its a duplicate of the same file, only separated by a space in the filename, so I deleted it.
  13. vincemeister55
    What do you mean by invisible? Like no text? Do you have a screenshot of it?
  14. vincemeister55
    I got finally got WhyEm DLC with my edited textures to work with my mods, without the spawning issue. But I had to make sacrifices for my other texture mods. I downscaled the textures of my edited 2K Artwork Arthur Morgan Project mod to 1K. Disabled my 1K edited version of AI Upscaled Gore, and disabled High Vegetation Resolution in LML. With all these changes, all is working in St.Denis, spawning-wise.
  15. vincemeister55
    Well, I think the benefit would be that you can use other texture mods instead. But it's a tedious process. You have to test every time if it's working or not. If you really like to use WhyEm's textures, make it as the base for your texture mods. From there, whenever you install new texture mods, test every time to check if it'll cause the despawning issues. Until it does, then delete some texture files from WhyEm, then test again.
  16. vincemeister55
    The downside of this is youre probably cannot use other texture mods if youre gonna prioritize WhyEm.
  17. vincemeister55
    That's what I have said. It may vary from user to user. It'll probably work if youre not using a lot of other texture mods. I for one has a lot of other texture mods in lml and in the stream folder.
  18. vincemeister55
    I dont know about that. WhyEm DLC adds files using a certain method as far as I know. Those other big texture mods, they only replaces vanilla files. but yeah, maybe we're into the first step of finally figuring this out.
  19. vincemeister55
    thats good to know. Im confidently sure my edited textures helped a bit.

    An update on the WhyEm DLC; So, I finally finished editing the texture files of the mod, and after a thorough testing of the mod with and without, here are my findings: *With Original WhyEm DLC enabled (meaning no edited files whatsoever)* -I get the despawning bug immediately after loading a save game. *With Edited WhyEm DLC enabled with EDITED textures* -When loading a save game with any WhyEm item/s equipped on Arthur, I don't get the despawning issue. But here is the catch; IT WILL ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. Meaning for example, I load a save game in St. Denis with WhyEm clothing equipped, in the very first few minutes, everything is good, but after a few minutes, then you can see the problem. Here is a video for example; So here is my final assessment. My method of changing the texture-format of WhyEm DLC textures didn't work. I think it has something to do with the quantity of texture files from WhyEm (2000+). The game just couldn't handle those so many addtional files. But for better or for worse, it'll give an idea that there is a fix out there, not just for WhyEm, but for all other big texture mods. It hasnt been discovered, yet. Anyway, I'll share my edited texture files if anybody is interested in trying it in their game. Remember, it may vary from user to user. It might work for you if you only have a few texture mods. Just try. https://www.mediafire.com/file/cz2i46tcrj17u4i/WhyEm+DLC+textures+edited+by+vincemeister55.rar/file HOWEVER - - -- If you only want the Hairdos of the mods, you can use it without the despawning issue. Just delete the Item_Textures folder in WhyEm DLC. Here is a video for example. It's the same save file as the above video, you can see the Eyepatch is gone, as well as the Gunbelt. Because I deleted the texture folder. But I still got the hairdo, The Kurt hairdo as well as the coat. I think it is vanilla even though I brought it at the trapper under WhyEm CLothing. You can still access the WhyEm clothing at the trapper. You will just get a transparent look for some of the clothes that are without textures, of course. And most importantly, there are no despawning issues after a few minutes. Just watch the video... That's it fellers. I did my best, but my best wasn't good enough.

    Tried installing Blackwater Terrain Textures today. No issues. Tried installing Terrain Textures Overhaul with an edited install.xml file, no issues. Alright!
  22. vincemeister55
    The RDR 2 Toolkit. It wont import dds files with sRGB format.
  23. vincemeister55
    Yeah, feeling the same thing. Im doing the WhyEm DLC and for all I care, all I want from that mod are the hairdos. But why am I editing the textures? lol. Do you know how to import dds sRGB format? The toolkit wont accept sRGB. I was trying to edit Terrain Texture Overhaul, but not importing sRGB format makes the texture with too much brightness.
  24. vincemeister55
    Yes I use that mod. But I use the replacement method in installing that. A feller in the comments section on that mod page gave a tip on how to do it. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I might just well downscale those textures too.
  25. vincemeister55
    1. OpenIV (to open and export the textures) 2. RDR 2 Toolkit (to create ytd files) 3. Redm (for the toolkit to work) 4. Paint.net or any program that can open and edit dds files (I use paint.net) P.S To those who like to use the WhyEm's DLC mod, I'm currently editing the texture format of the texture files in the mod. Its a very tedious process as the mod contains 2000+ texture files, and you need to edit each file. The mod has 4 texture folders, each with 500 texture files. I just finished 1 folder. I then test different variations if it fixes the spawning issue when using the mod. You need to equip at least 1 item from WhyEm's DLC mod to have accurate results of the test; 1. I first test it with only 1 texture folder installed, the original, unedited files = spawning issue 2. I then tested it with my edited textures, still 1 folder = the train spawns with passengers, no spawning issue 3. I test again with my edited texture files in 1 folder, plus the 3 unedited folders = it spawns the train, but no passengers (but the weird part is after like a minute, passengers will spawn. Its like a delay) So, after all the tests, I decided to continue this tedious process of editing the texture files. lol. Since It works with my test #2.
