Hi All!
Before you close this thread, I have to say, that I've searched the forum for solving, but it didn't help.
So I have this infamous blocky fire/oil effect, and I don't know how to solve it. I've downloaded "ROW repair for fire and oil sleak" patch, but it did nothing.
Could anybody tell me what to do? Where should I find the missing texture file names?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you get those effects with just EE 4.6 enabled (no ROW or PE related mods enabled)?

From the looks of the above screenshot it looks like you are ONLY running the fire and smoke fix for ROW?, :hmm: Try install the special efffects part of the mod from PE3.3 and apply the "different smoke RFB_PE3.3" on top of that and see if it solves the issue.

Thanks, nearly true: "different smoke" causes the problem. I'll try your suggestion...

And which version should I install after RFB? The "Stock" one?
Besides "Environmental" mod is conflicting with PE3, argh...

PE will conflict with EE as they change similar things. The blockiness is caused when the particle generator is told to use a graphic that doesn't exist, so it makes things up itself and just uses a square of solid colour, rather than the shaded black and white graphic it is expecting.
You are missing the PE materials.dat file, which contains the new fire graphic. If you install the materials.dat file from either PE or ROW, then you will be alright.
Kriller, what's the patch/pack that contains the materials.dat file?

Thanks. I've installed Environment over PE3.3 and now everything seems to be ok.
