Ok, so I'm walking down Whiterun streets and I see these guards who decided to wear transparent helmets: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/5439/screenshot7bp.png http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6055/screenshot9b.png Probably just trying to start a new fad or something. But then I notice it affects the ground; if you are astute enough, you will notice that these pictures portray the same plot of ground from two different angles, taken a few seconds apart: This one looks alright: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/6774/screenshot11q.png And this one doesn't: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9006/screenshot10so.png That ground-patch-thing is happening all over Whiterun streets; it's so annoying! But it doesn't end there; I hope that it might be something to do with a buggy load, so I re-load the game. This just tells you how random and buggy it is: it seems to have passed and then I enter Dragonsreach. This one seems OK: http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/7250/screenshot14t.png And when I move about a foot backwards, things are ... transparent. Including the guard's shield and Lydia's armour: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1614/screenshot13ia.png NPC's also go fully transparent when at the right angle, but I couldn't get a screenshot because the ones it happens to move around a lot. Also, it seems like it's related, so I'll post it here; patches of different types of snow covering streets in Winterhold: http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/2761/screenshot6l.png http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1381/screenshot5ort.png http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/1492/screenshot4m.png http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8739/screenshot3zw.png I've disabled and re-enabled all my mods to make sure it's not to do with them. It doesn't seem to be. I also messed with my skyrimprefs.ini file a bit, but deleting anything I added or adding anything I didn't have does not fix these issues! Please help; I want Skyrim to look beautiful again!
