JordanJ Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Once again I have started a savefile in Skyrim with numerous mods installed (which I have spent literally an entire day sorting and resolving conflicts) only to run into a bizarre error. My screen constantly flashes black, accompanied by a small dialog box counting up. There are no other details on the box except a number, which I clicked through to 600 before giving up on it stopping. I have Googled the problem and some believe the black flashing is to do with driver or video card issues. I had previously rolled back my Nvidia drivers and restored them just now, to no effect. I did get a new, larger monitor recently with a larger resolution, if this would have any effect. I haven't installed a great many graphical mods which would cause the game to simply overload and, in any case, I believe my card can handle it. The problem may be to do with mods, and I have included my load order below, but I am unsure how to identify which, if any, are causing problems. I had already thoroughly troubleshooted my mods for the ones which were causing CTDs. This problem with the black flashing screen is entirely new to me. Comp specs are:8 gig RAMIntel i5-2500k @ 3.30 GHzNvidia Geforce 580 Please help. I'm looking forward to another Skyrim adventure.

Euenus Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Try installing the other unofficial patches (for the DLC's) and the racemenu bug fix which can be found on the GEM mod list.Be sure you are also using BOSS! Edited December 25, 2013 by Euenus
JordanJ Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 I use BOSS religiously. I manually installed all the unofficial patches and made sure the load order was correct, as specified by the details on the Nexus page, and there's still no change. The only bugfix for RaceMenu that I found was to do with an error I wasn't getting. I installed it anyway, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Still the black flashing and numbers.
DanielCoffey Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 The load order you have posted above is missing the Unofficial Patch files for DG. HF and DB.
JordanJ Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 I've installed those now, and there's been no change.
Euenus Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Try downloading Razer Game Booster. Not only will it make games run on your computer better in general, it also allows you to check for driver updates that you might be missing, along with ignoring programs that might be interfering with Skyrim. If that doesn't work, try turning off your FPS intensive mods and see if that works. It might be a memory explosion. Then, try turning off the mods on there I've never even heard of.There is a memory allocation download somewhere that might help as well.
JordanJ Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 I have to run the game through Mod Organizer (and in turn through SKSE) in order for it all to work properly, so I don't know if I can run Skyrim through Razer Game Booster, but I'll see what I can do. Razer stuff is great; I have a keyboard and mouse.

Euenus Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 You don't run Skyrim -through- Razer Game booster, it just tweaks some stuff and tells you, most importantly, driver updates you need. Hmmm... -looks through mod list-.... You have high resolution patch but don't have the high resolution DLC.You don't have SkyUI. That could be a problem. Try turning off anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering. Make sure your resolution is good.
