In response to post #24562194. #24562354, #24562709, #24563084, #24563309 are all replies on the same post. But goy, don't you know there's mad shekels to be made?

If they think the'll make me pay for mods they're wrong. I'll stop buying games and pirate everything if it's what it takes. This is absolutely outrageous. How they think this is okay is beyond me. f*#@ Valve and f*#@ Bethesda

The mere thought of modding being shifted from a free, open and community based thing to a marketed process makes me hold my head in desperation. We've all been here for fun, we're all in it for the enjoyment of creation and modification, I don't think many people have had the intention to make money out of modding, but some have used it as a leverage to enter the game making industry (and that is great!). But paying for mods? That's just asinine. It isn't just about the concept of free content, it's about us PC gamers as a whole. I am a PC gamer because I believe in freedom and in free content provided by users for users. I don't want the developers to regulate what I can and can not do any more than they already do (cease and desist letters to mods aimed to revive old games anyone?). I am not happy with the Steam workshop. I remember back in the day, when 1.5 and 1.6 were the thing, you would download kickass skins and put them on your game. Now you have to PAY for them. It just doesn't sit well with me, and I think I'm not alone. When DICE/EA announced they would drop mod support a star died for me. No more PR, no more rebalance, no more custom servers, no more custom maps. It's all streamlined, centrified and most important of all, MONETIZED. When the free content intended as free content by the authors becomes paid content, things go downhill. This is an issue I am very uncomfortable with, and I hope us as a community can make our voice be heard. That we want things to stay free for all to make, share, edit and use.

Same here. I just started experiencing flashing trees (LOD), flying trees (which also flash) and black artifacts on the sky. Happens only in some areas. I thought it had to do with mods, specially the one I'm doing (lol tree LOD issues). So I disabled them all. Still having problems I tried a fresh install. Yet there still where artifacts. HD 7850, using the 12.11 beta drivers. And guess when the flickering / artifacts started? Guessed right, after driver updates.
