I will try that solution, unfortunately I am unsure if it will work. It seems many others have had the same problem. Many are saying the only thing that may fix it is a mod. I am not sure if there is one that will fix it though.

I turned off the AA in the skyrimprefs file, to no avail unless there is another value other than iMultiSample=0 I need to change. This happens only in the water in first person, but it is highly annoying. I have determined through reinstalling skyrim from scratch and installing the mods after testing the game it is not the mods. I do not think it is AA either. (sigh) I also tried turning graphics down to nil and got new drivers. That greyish stuff is so annoying in the water... I wish I knew what caused it so I could turn it off.

The game looks amazing, but I get a wierd rippling line around my character when in first person in the water. I am running several mods, but it does it without the mods on high and low settings. notice at the bottom of the weapon and my arm have an annoying outline. How do I get rid of this? http://forums.nexusmods.com/uploads//monthly_12_2012/post-3602191-0-88718400-1355964637_thumb.jpg

I know elder scrolls is a single player series, but if they made an MMO of the series they would have a lot of followers. Only downsides is that some people do not want to play MMO's and modding would be restricted to UI mods. Still it could be done. \

I have had a hard time figuring out a good combination, with both destruction/conjuration I find my self worrying too much about destroying the target and not enough to conjure anything. About the only use I get out of it would be to soul steal the target. In this build I am using 4 skills for perks with Enchanting and light armor as backups. I was wondering what more skilled players think of this build, and if anyone has any suggestions for making a build.

Everyone has Skyrim on Steam, if not then that's a pirate copy. The Steam version of Skyrim is almost exactly the same as it would be without Steam. The 1.1 patch files I linked to are the original Skyrim files from Steam which were taken before the game was updated to 1.2. And you only have to copy the 2 files to Skyrim's folder and another 2 files in Skyrim's "data" folder, that's it. What i Meant by on steam everyone has to register with steam... if you bought it in a store, you have a disc and you can tell it not to update the game from version 1.0 IF you buy it online from steam it automatically updates the game when downloading. You can tell it not to update from there, but unless you have a disc you are SOL.

That is not completely true... it will never be vanilla patchwise. If you never patched be warned the patches are hit and miss. More often miss.

Skyrim is the weirdest game. Only in Skyrim can disabling shadows the wrong way decrease framerates. What is the right way to turn them off or disable them to increase perforamance. They look horrid anyways and my machine is not good enough to run the game so they look good.

The newest patch made the game much slower and laggy and practically unplayable unless you want to run it on minimal settings. Previously I could run the game with medium settings on a high resolution. I cannot get a vanilla version of the game to roll back to a working version, because I bought the game on steam. I e-mailed Bethesda like you did, but I received no response. I think they should give me a copy of the game one way or another that is uncorrupted by their horrid patches.

Agreed! This patch seriously messed the game up for me. IF they do not fix this and soon, this will be the last game I buy from Bethesda. Sadly, I cannot reinstall Skyrim to vanilla mode, as I bought it online from steam.

Too bad I cannot roll back the patch... that is my problem...

Well that doesn't make me very hopeful Dx With it like it is, I can't even play. I'm currently redownloading the game anyways >-> I had updated my drivers and it didn't fix the huge drops. :/ tree the 1.3.10 patch killed frame rates for a lot of people. It if highly possible that the problem is the game not your computer. The game is not even playable for me thanks to their new patch. The game worked better in vanilla mode, sadly I cannot go back to that because I downloaded the game from steam.

I have had similar issues indoors even with shadows off my framerates were killed with the new patch. The game got good performance in most cases before the recent patches. Unfortunately because I bought it from steam, I cannot revert to vanilla as steam auto-patches when you download. This will be the last game I buy from Bethesda if they do not fix this soon.

If he can... I cannot reload the game to before the patch, beucase I downloaded it from steam. Why is it this stupid patch makes performance better for some much worse for most?

I think our problem is not our machines as much as it is the newest patch caused many people to get a performance hit. In our cases we cannot afford a performance hit. Bethesda obviously does not code patches well or test them well.

possible, but the game ran fine before the patch... I read a tone of people have had performance issues since hte patch.

Toast, I reinstalled windows... I think I do not need that program or something. The gadget you mentioned shows it boosting anyways up to 2.66. Anyhow I do not think that is the problem. I think it is the patch, and the fact that My machine could not afford the FPS loss. Hopefully they fix it. If not, like I said I will save my money next time Bethesda makes a game. Too bad, their games are fun when they work.

I have been confused about all of this... on HP's site there is a driver for the Intel Turbo Boost, but like you said it might be on the firmware. I could not find anything about the multiple cores in BIOS. I only saw the processor type and in device manager it shows 8 processors. I tried installing the Turbo Boost driver HP recommended for my computer, but when installing it said my computer "does not meet minimum requirements", which makes no sense. I did download the program last night. It shows my processor going up to at one point 7gigaherts. I am not sure how accurate it is, the max my turbo boost is supposed to be around 3 gigahertz. Intel does make the gadget however. I am confused... (shrugs)

Powdered I run it on the same settings as before the patch... I got decent framerates in 1.1.0 or whatever the first version. 1.03 killed it for me, and many others have said so as well. Unless they changed something it should be turbo boosting as it did before. Before 1.03 it used all cores. I am not unrealistic I do not expect to run Skyrim on high or ultra. but with the same settings with no shadows, the game has Horrid FPS with the newest patch. are you sure it is not called something else? I do not see that program. I do appreciate you mentioning that this could be the cause all along.

Why as administrator?

I used to have problems with companions disappearing or not porting with me when porting. Sometimes they would stop moving. I do know sometimes Items would not show on companions when given to them. With 1.3.10 the game is so laggy it is unfixable. I cannot even play it from vanilla mode becuase steam auto updates when it installs the game (sigh.)

Yeah I'm having problems with it crashing to desktop upon entering the Animonculory within Alftand. Unfortunately this is part of the main Dragonborn quest, so I can't even complete the game. Needless to say I'm pretty furious about that :mad: As with yourself, the game went fine without a hitch until the 160-hour mark. Since then it started to crash to desktop at least once every hour, so I'd say it's a memory leak / restriction that's causing it as a reload of a previous saved-game file worked fine when I entered the same area. Changing the graphic settings made no impact. I'm going to try out the 4GB thing. Makes sense that if crashing is memory-related increasing the buffer by 2GB will certainly help. In the new version the game supposedly plays with 4GB of RAM... The perforamnce in this 1.3.10 patch or whatever is horrible it took a playable game on decent settings to unplayable on my computer. I hear the next patch (which may or may not fix my problem) will not be out until the end of January. If this is how Bethesda makes games this will be the last game I play of thiers. Sad thing is i cannot even go back to the vanilla version becuase steam forces us to use the 1.3.10 patch everytime it is reinstalled.

Mine is choppy with no mods and I am getting around 15-30 FPS in areas pre patch I would get 30-50 with the same settings.... yes I use a laptop.... but the specs are listed below and as I said the machine ran the game great prior to 1.03

Is there any way i could save my old save files? There is a possiblity that this has to do with the 1.03 patch... I am looking fora way to install the game without the patch. Unfortunatly I downloaded mine from steam, which only gives the 1.03 version. With the patch my machine barly runs the game where it ran it decently before at the same settings.
