Thanks for the useful suggestions, will try them today! :thumbsup:

Hii I've never really been bothered to look into this problem properly but when I sprint or sometimes turn around (like in a new area) Skyrim stutters. Now, I'm guessing it's because of the textures/meshes/models etc are loading? Are there any solutions and tweaks to preload/precatch the above said which may solve the stuttering when sprinting and turning? I have a Raedon 7870 2GB, 8GB ram, x8 AMD @ 3.50ghz, SSD, Windows 7 64.

Thanks for the reply, I've seem to of solved the problem purely by chance when browsing the mods just now. I used this http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26225 and the texture flickering/artifacts have stopped *fingers crossed* - But, the mountains in the distance still flicker, is there a fix for that? Ah, I've just come across Z-fighting fix... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjHt-4Z6PwI

Hi I've upgraded my video card from a Radeon HD 5770 to a HD 7870 and have been experiencing sporadic flickering and artifacts around Skyrim. I've done a total clean install of Win 7 64 with 12.11 beta 4 drivers. Disabled all mods. Tinkered with .ini perferences. Turned off AA in catalyst settings. ... but still have fail to solve the problems. So, am wondering if anyone has a possible fix I have yet to come across? Any suggestions and solutions appreciated, thanks.

I just lost mine after it kept on crashing on load, I uninstalled then reinstalled, lost the mod listing window. :-( How did you solve it? Another noob! :rolleyes:

I think it's a corrupted save game, I started a new character and had no problem. I read on here saving a game in werewolf form causes saved games to become corrupted.

Hi I noticed this also in other games such as Penumbra and Stalker when it's dark, when I move the mouse left and right I notice a greenish line distortion around the sides of dark/black walls and buildings, I have tried taking a screen shot but it's too quick, grrr! I have Raedon HD 5770 with the latest drivers catalyst 12.3 drivers (and have tried the beta 12.4 drivers also) but still no luck. Anyone else experienced this or may have a solution? Thanks.

Obviously modding is predominately male orientated and men are obsessed by airbrushed model good looks and physiques.

When I mount my horse and start riding, it suddenly goes up into the air and moves around left and right, it's quite funny to watch actually but becoming an annoyance now! :wallbash: I have tried disabling the following horse mods... Better Horses, Horse Fast Dismount, Horses for Followers and Horse Amors but still no luck. Any ideas and suggestions please?

Just another idea I've had for a few weeks, what about a mod with the theme of Amenesia: Dark Descent , therefore no weapons and spells in a cave, dungeon or castle?

I've been wondering if it's possible and workable for some sort of RTS sub game mod to be implemented into Skyrim? Imagine controlling an army of undead and necromancers against the imperials! Using an isometric view maybe or an over head one?

I like to see this also, I don't know what Bethesda are thinking calling Whiterun and even Solitude cities, they are more like small villages and towns.

Any mods to improve brawling?

Hi Just wondering how people here record and compare their FPS in game? Do you move around in doors such as Breezehome then do a circular trip of Whiterun?

Interesting, OK I'm not far in the game playing my mage so I'll start a new game and see what happens, thanks for the suggestion.

Phew, thought it was just me! Thanks, at least I know now not to bother doing a fresh install. What are your system specs out of interest? I'm on a core duo amd 7850 o/c @ 3.2, 4gig ram, radeon 5770 single gpu o/c using ATI Radeon 12.1 preview drivers.

Hi I'm crashing to desktop when I cast bound sword only in my right hand, anyone have this issue before? I've tried disabling all my mod .esp files in the start up but it still happens. I will continue to troubleshoot unless someone can save me time and tell me the problem, thanks!

Are there are mods to modify brawling combat? As in to make it quicker and blows more powerful especially on Master mode.

Hi I'm just wondering if there's a tool to for example run a script from the console that would record the average FPS over a couple of minutes or so in inside and outside environments? (Just like timedemo command from the old Quake days)

Hi and welcome! A good suggestion but it has already been suggested but unfortunately I do not think any modder is working on this idea at the moment.

I had a strange problem that I fortunately solved in a few minutes, Skyrim refused to load up after the launcher but it worked with the 4gb mod -nolaa command, I went into the .exe proporties and unchecked "run in administrator mode". :rolleyes:

Some people are always going to hate popular games for whatever petty or silly reasons, we all have different tastes, I love Skyrim despite it's imperfections (some are quite hilarious and comical) and dodgy UI. Maybe some people need to chill out and stop expecting perfection all the time?

Apologies if this has already been suggested or there is a mod out that does this. I would like to access my container of items in Breezehome, Whiterun for example if I am in my home in Riften from a container/chest there, is this possible? Edit - Or maybe as a novelty, you could send items via some courier or postal service to another home in Skyrim.

Thanks for the interesting posts guys, though conflicting obviously! lol :biggrin: - I'll start a new mage on master difficulty later today and see how I cope. I'm not really a pro in Elder Scrolls games, so despite some people saying "master difficulty is not much of a challenge", it might be to me initially plus no doubt there's a learning curve. Edit - Plus I'm not much of a fan of exploits and speed levelling skills. @Xunamarox - So health is the main attribute I should level, should I put anything into magicka and stamina at all? @Vallen87 - Great post, thanks and kudos! :thumbsup:

After completing the main quest yesterday and the majority of others in game on adept difficulty with my sneaky ranger/thief character, I thought about starting a mage on master difficulty but have a few questions. 1) Should I stick with a designated caster type robe or use light or heavy armour for a mage type character? 2) Does wearing light or heavy armour impede a caster character in some way? 3) What are the advisable skills and perks to level/use if playing on master difficulty? 4) Is there a FAQ or a guide for playing on master difficulty? 5) I am jumping too far ahead by playing with a caster/mage character on master difficulty? Cheers, afx.
