HonestHawk Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) OK, so I just got a new custom built rig a few days ago packing a GTX 980 ti, and testing out Skyrim was naturally one of the first things I did. I'm having some critical issues which I've narrowed down to being associated with V-syncing, which I'll be dubbing, "The Coin of Two-Face"With V-sync turned on....*Sound delays-anything from a few seconds to half a minute. Noticed mainly on jumping, and sounds of other npc characters.*Arrow delays between the same time frame. *NPC's and textures not loading correctly(noticed this really affected the intro level somewhat)With V-sync off......*Considerable screen tearing*flickering water surfaces*crazy physics glitches*At one point I was teleported into the side of a cliff face upon loading a game.Should be noted that my monitor/TV is only capable of 60hz. Coin is flipped on both regular and SKSE launchers. Tried using framerate limiters, at which the only gave me more extremes of afformentioned problems. Updating the Unofficial Skyrim Patch has done nothing either. Is there an actual fix for this? Or are we just meant to flip the coin depending on what glitches we're willing to tolerate more?EDIT: I ran Elephant's latency test to see if my mods were causing script bloating. Test revealed I'm running between 60-70ms (which is supposedly good). Yet arrow and sound lag still persist with vsync turned on.

HonestHawk Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 BUMP: Tried purging all of my saves and starting a new game. No improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Turning V-sync off isn't a good idea, for exactly the reasons you saw. Your problem isn't likely to be caused by V-sync, just exposed by it (if you catch the difference). What are your PC's specs? Post your load order. You may have a background process that's eating resources - especially CPU time - that can cause laggy behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm experiencing are script delays I think, and not framedrops. But it doesn't make much sense. I shouldn't be getting script delay if I'm only running 22 mods. As of typing this message, I cleaned the update.esm via TES5edit. Started a new game, almost ganked the intro scene with heavy script delay, Restarted again. Intro scene restored, but sound/action latency issues have persisted. At this point I'm redownloading all the afformentioned mods I can find in preparation for a clean install.

HonestHawk Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Bump: Purged all my mods, and did a clean install of everything - even NMM. A quick run of Skyrim unmodded shows that the problem was indeed with my mods, as pretty much all latency errors vanished. I still don't get it though. My mod list was relatively light compared to some users. Although, I'd been carrying saves via steam cloud over two machines. Even my first install was overwritten via a usb copy because I didn't want to lost any mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3507349User Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 You might have had an ini problem. I was going to suggest deleting skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini and letting the game generate new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestHawk Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Doesn't matter now. I've messed up upon a clean install, and now I think I've broken Skyrim beyond repair......After reloading my mods, I made the mistake of doing Gopher's TES5edit cleaning tutorial.Now, after a THIRD clean install, I've got a perfect CTD beyond the main menu. No mods, no saves.Might make a another topic for this...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
