why do you say not to turn off vsync? mine is off and has been for a very long time and i have no problems

sorry but im not sure what you mean by toggling t and w

Hey all so i have an Nvidia Gforce GTX 760 with 4GB vram and the VERY latest drivers from nvidia I was having this problem where reflections wont work.. my water only reflects the sky but will not reflect ANY buildings or objects. I have provided some screens below. I have played and modded fallout 3 for years and this is the very first time I have run into this problem. I have checked my other Gambryo games which are Oblivion and Morrowind (dont have new vegas installed right now); the water shader works perfectly fine in these games. SO i did a completely fresh install of Fallout 3, Backed up and deleted my fallout.ini, falloutprefs.ini and renderinfo aswell. I installed the DLC and the game is fully patched. I boot up the game, let my graphics config do its thing, turn all my settings to where i have them at high with all water effect turned on and on high of course. KEEP IN MIND i am not a scrub i have been modding games since morrowind and i still mod every game from morrowind to skyrim.. AND i have absolutely NO mods or loose files because this is a completely fresh install with all my old folders backed up and deleted and my game is not even tied to any mod manager yet. IT IS ONLY RETAIL FILES! and it is running on brand new game generated inis with only launcher settings applied. I am still experiencing the problem here are my screens

I think it would be sooooooooo cool if there was a mod where to craft say an iron sword you needed to make the following 1. The Hilt (out of iron ingot, leather, leather strips and Wood) 2. The Guard (out of Iron Ingots or maybe steel to be fancy) 3. The Blade Blank (out of Iron Ingots) 4. A Wetstone (out of Rock from hearthfires) 5. The Blade (Using the Blade Blank and the Wet Stone) 6. The Iron Sword (Made From The Hilt, The Guard and The Blade) And there would be similar methods for all weapons and armor in the game. Armor Would be even more involed with buckles and belts and chain to make chainmail and different pieces of the plate or different pieces of leather ect to make up the armor :) Im sure you could go even further than my imagination with it. While im on the topic of this does anyone know of a similar mod ALSO does anyone know of a mod that adds weapon durability to the game? Thanks let me know what you think and if you know someone working on this :D

none has any ideas as to a solution to this?

Hey can anyone tell me what this problem is? I have had Ultimate HD Fire Effects installed for quite a while and i tried reinstalling it but i still get this glitch with all fire effects.. any help would be great Here's a video of the problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssraawxHkk&feature=youtu.be&html5=1 As you can see there seems to be textures missing or somthing and yes i have reinstalled to check and i still get the problem :(

im looking for a trexture to replace this ugly one of the wood walkways in the mines if anyone knows a texture pack that replaces thsi please let me know :smile: http://i40.tinypic.com/n47gr8.jpg link incase needed http://i40.tinypic.com/n47gr8.jpg

THANKS I am giving this and the below methods a try right now.. ill let you know how they turn out

well its either one of two tings.. it could be a custom war paint possibly... but more likely it is just the face texture you are using.. the face is all just one texture so if someone put that on the face texture that you downloaded then im afraid your stuck with that face as well cause you can simply download a mole and put it on the face it is built in to the face texture.. if you look at my pictures below its a good example.. i have some sweet tattoos on my characters body.. BUT i literally had to get a program to edit the skin texture and add those in myself by painting or pasting them on the texture.. because like I said you can just put stuff onto a texture like tattoos or a mole it comes with it. here is a very nice texture that I use and would HIGHLY SUGGEST!!!!!! but it doesn't have a mole tho :( http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3563 here is my characters face so you can see how nice it is :biggrin: oh and dont worrie my character is a dark elf but the face texture works for any race and it adds some nice makeup and eyelashes and stuff. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/191380 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/193931

Lol, thanks buddy! I just figured out the same thing! It's pretty weird, because I didn't have errors with it before... That made me not check them. Until TES5Edit. By the way, I don't use Wyre Bash because the last time I tried using it I failed horribly. I didn't understand a thing and it seems like I can live without it. At least for now and the last time. ya basically all that wrye bash does is take mods that add items or change items in the leveled lists and makes them work together.. because lets say you have an armor mod that adds some new armors for bandits to wear and for you to find in chests but then you get another mod that adds some more armors of its own for you to find. WELL then which ever of those two mods you put nearer to the bottom of the load order is the only one that will actually add its items.. but if you use wrye bash and makes a bashedpatch.esp it will merge the leveled lists and allow both mods to add their items to the game at the same time :biggrin: the program can do many other things too but that is MAINLY what it is used for. It can also merge mods so you can fit more ESP's into your game because there is a limit of 255 ESPs.. So it takes any mods that it can merge the two ESPs together and adds them to its Bashedpatch.esp so that you can deactivate the original esps.. its an amazingly awesome progream and I personally couldn't play without it because half of my mods wouldnt work together but it depends what mods you have :smile: also did deactivating those two actually fix the problem?!? :D:D:D

@ missjennabee Please you need to add to the CTD's on startup section a little blurb about CTD's after the bethesda logo being caused by simple load order and mod conflicts.. there are WAY TO MANY POSTS asking this exact question OVER and OVER and OVER again and ITS ALWAYS the same answer.. a load order or mod conflict! if it was added to this sticky maybe we could lessen the mob of "CTD AFTER BETH LOGO" Threads invading this forum!!!!!!

@ Westonski (not talking to the other people with steam problems) 999999 times out of 1000000 when skyrim crashes right after the bethesda logo its A MOD CONFLICT PLEASE READ THE STICKY POSTED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE ON THIS VERY FORUM IT IS THERE TO HELP YOU, NOT TO BE IGNORED! the sticky is there to help you with these problems and prevent these kinds of threads from even being posted. (if you want to read the sticky and then post a thread for help finding the conflicting mod that is fine) HOWEVER threads like these that have already been answered in the sticky take forum space away from problems that other people are having that are actually unanswered. you said you have been looking everywhere and couldn't find anyone else having the same problem? try looking at the top of the forum you posted in :D there are only 2 stickies there! you should try to skim through them before you make a new thread and see if your problem is listed because in this case... IT IS.. That was you don't even need to wait for an answer because its already there prepared for you.. this is easily ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH SKYRIM so please read the stickies before posting. it even has nice big/easy to spot headers called 05. CTDS ON START-UP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AND 08. CONFLICTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CTD on startup is almost always a load order conflict, or slight chance it could be a missing esm/bsa however very unlikely. unfortunately boss is only just "ok" at sorting your load order ... you will have to tweek it further... in fact its too bad you already used it because if you know what your mods are and know what you are doing then it is FAR more effective to sort your own load order.. I dont use BOSS because of this exact reason.. its great in theory but not so much in practice. AND trust me its possible to do it yourself I have 251 modsw and I never use boss I always sort and keep track of things all by myself.. also do you use wrye bash to merge leveled lists? because if you have recently deleted or deactivated a mod that your bashedpatch.esp is dependent on that will case crash on start up. other than that my friend im afraid I cant fix your load order by reading it because I don't have the same load order.. you could try moving COT up to the top.. Im sorry I cant be more help EDIT- the only other thing i see is this.. URN+RLO Patch.esp Active Checksum: B9EAA896 URN+RCRN Patch.esp Active Checksum: DE14D225 are these plugins activated??? because I don't see RLO or RCRN on your list and those files wont work without RLO and RCRN i wouldn't imagine as they are compatibility patches for them and even if they dont require them as a master they still might be causing a crash

Here are the Pictures I promised as well as my load order. When moving in game the screen flashes rapidly but seemingly at random intervals between the two lightings shown below: Pictures: Load Order: Im Afraid I don't use Boss because I know what all 250ish of my mods are and exactly where they go and BOSS just screws up my load order.. I have effectively managed my own load order since the game came out with no problems. just as I have been doing for years with morrowind and oblivion. I find BOSS to be more of a hindrance for me personally because I know what I am doing and I have certain ESP's that I keep in certain places to overlap or overwrite certain other sections of similar mods. So I'm very sorry but my load order is just a list of all 250ish ESP's I have activated, since nexus sucks at turning my active load order into a text file there are even several that aren't activated that are still on the list. its probably terrible to read through compared to those fancy BOSS load order pages. I also highly doubt this is a load order issue but more likely an issue with the ENB

I am having the strangest problem which I have personally never seen before in skyrim EVER... it is 100 percent not a spell effect so don't tell me to read the sticky :P . my entire screen flickers between normal and a full Turquoise color. Its not just one thing its like an entire solid screen overlay :( It jsut randomly started happening while I was playing and it seems to only happen on the 7000 steps so far. I have been playing with the same load order and ENB for months without and change. I did update convenient horses like 2 weeks ago but my horse is nowhere near by. the screenshots and load order are now below any help would be friggin awesome thanks :smile:

it was clarilux -_- i dont understand why anyone would add ugly mass amounts of fog like that to the game it just looks terrible. and besides clarilux is supposed to be a lighting mod that adds lightposts and stuff not fog.

i havent made any ini tweaks and climates of tamriel doesn't add fog like that. i think it might be clarilux but if it is than im just uninstalling that mod because if he seriously added that much fog as "SMOKE" from the braziers on the bridge than i am just done with that mod.. like god i walk into places sometimes and 200 torches explode from the ground where only one is supposed to be like how the f*#@ is it fked up so bad honestly

immediate crash is almost always a mod conflict.. check your load order with boss and or try disabling mods you have recently installed.. also READ THE STICKY!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 05. CTDS ON START-UP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {HEY LOOK! More things I stole.} This applies to all of the Bethesda Softworks Gambryo based games - Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout3, Fallout New Vegas. [For the sake of this bit we're defining a "CTD on Start-Up as...] When you click to start the game, you get the black square that you typically see when starting, then the game drops you back into the desktop with no error or explanation. The game start routine loads the game engine, then the game master file (game_name.esm) then the vanilla assets in the form of .bsa files (Bethesda's proprietary compressed format), then any mod .esm (master files) then the mod esp files. If an .esm tries to load after it's .esp you will get an instant crash. If a mod starts to load and refers to an .esm that is not there - crash. Most likely - you are missing a master (.esm) file that some mod refers to. OR! You are not starting with a script extender (SKSE, OBSE, FOSE, etc.) that is REQUIRED by some mod that you have. Check to be sure you are starting with the script extender, and not the game.exe or the unmodified game launch icon if you have any mods that require it. Check any recently added mods (or removed mods) for dependencies - if a mod 'depends' on some other mod being there - and you removed it, it will crash. Best bet if you're unsure is to consult with the mod's maker. If using Wrye Bash (or in possession of the CK) you can check for yourself what dependencies the mods you're running might have.

this happens to me but i dont really care its only once at the start of the game when you load is it really that big of a deal?

no man its not the video card i have a geforce 660 and mine dont look like that.. unfortunatly i cant tell you whats causing it

that looks like a night eye spell to me.. its definatly a spell effect i have seen it many many many times in the game.. i have a mod that enables "v" as a hotkey to toggle night eye but its not the same as the night eye spell so try pressing v or some other keys and see if it turnes off. and it looks exactly like that.. or if you have frostfall it looks like that when you are cold.

well unfortunately you cant expect to install third party mods and then have everything work perfectly.. dont blame bethesda saying their DLC doesnt work when in reality its a mod conflict or a dirty save... it has nothing to do with bethesda.. AND no turning off all your mods doesn't prove that its not a mod problem because your save is likely dirty and has left over scripts embedded in it from older mods or the mods you just shut off. it is possible that dragonborn is the first thing to conflict with those old scripts that are in the dirty save but it doesn't mean that dragonborn is the cause its the THIRD PARTY mods that are awesome but basically have no guarantee to work properly or not screw up your game. also read the sticky at the top of the forum when you are having problems like this thats why its there at the top of the page ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10. MODS & SAVED GAMES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Loading a mod is not as simple as you might think. Mods often overwrite and make changes to all kinds of files. When you uninstall or "un-check" a mod from the active load, although the mod itself does not execute, the changes its made still do. Even a single, poorly written mod can be devastating to Skyrim's already unstable environment. The more and more mods you load, particularly mods that were not careful scrutinized prior to release may be bringing you closer and closer to the brink. Orphan code or redundant code can really start to nudge your game into a crashing or become a more unstable environment. This can cause random crashes, game corruption or bloated save game files. Many mods break vanilla quests by overwriting various aspects of them, or by removing the ability for quest to be activated, triggered, or to be completed at certain stages. My point is that there is a good chance all that there is a whole bunch of junk still lurking about in your save. Particularly if you've ever run a mod with any new or edited scripts. You can deactive the mod, you can delete the scripts, but if not properly executed, the scripts will keep on keeping on. Waiting to attack, when you least expect it. (There is a way to investigate this also, and I will again direct you to my friend "Google" as the process involves making changes to your .ini file - ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP). Essentially, YOU might forget about the mod the second it's deleted, but your SAVE remembers. A reliable mod of yesterday is not always reliable today. This is even true for this mod, I'm certainly not trying to set myself apart. It's been a long and bumpy road to get here, nonoodles can tell you I have broken many a persons' game, many a time. With all the game updates and availability more massive and immersive mods, getting everything to run smoothly has really become more of an art than a science. If I could bestow anything upon you, it would be the importance of making a clean, mod-free save. Things (especially scripts) have a way of cementing into your save games. When you start un-installing mods, you leave little seeds of despair that grow up to be full blown pains in the backside. A fresh load, with saves along the way, will be a far cleaner environment to set a good mod foundation on.A lot of problems stem from that scripts, among lots of other junk, actually get saved INTO your saved game files, and this stuff does not go away when they uninstall a mod, leading to very dirty saved game files that will frequently refuse to play nicely with the whole ton of mods you're using.

heres some pics of the problem

I am having a very hard time figuring out what mod has added fog around some of the lakes.. for example just outside of riverwood while heading to whiterun and at the bridge leading to Ivvarstead.. the fog is rediculusly thick and I cant even see through it and its crazy high up as well.. and no I DO NOT have "supreme and volumetric fog". that is the only mod I can really think of that adds the fog around lakes and its only from 4am to 7am.. the fog I have appears in the middle of the day at say 4pm in perfectly sunny weather. It is not very nice to look at its REALLY ugly and annoying... heres my mod list if anyone can give me a hand it would be much appreciated.

if your save is over 80 mb then you have a corrupt save and you will have to start a new character or go back to where the saves are nomal.. this is called saved game bloating and it happoens when you improperly uninstall a mod.,;.. befor uninstalling ANYTHING you should always read the mod page to make sure you are following the right procedure.
