Realistic Lighting Overhaul Problem

[Damastang]

Hello All,

 

I have been having this issue with RLO where lighting/shadows in some areas seems to pop on and off depending on which direction I look at it. It's always in the same places and seems to only happen in interiors (cities, caves .ect). Also in some places my weapon will flick from dark to light which gets extremely annoying, so far I have only noticed this in caves and not in cities (could be wrong).

 

Here is a video I uploaded showing the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TrG92YPnIE&feature=youtu.be

 

I am using Realistic Lighting Overhaul + Climates of Tamerial + RealVision ENB (a popular configuration) as well as Sounds of Skyrim with the necessary Realistic Lighting Overhaul compatibility patches. I am using Wyre Bash, TesEdit5 (for cleaning) and BOSS and my game is extremely stable even with this amount of mods. This seems to be the only issue I am having. Here is my load order straight out of BOSS (with Bashed Patch and ReProccer moved to the bottom manually) Does this look right to you?

If you need any more info, just let me know, I am desperately trying to find a fix for this, it's kinda game breaking.

Cheers

I also have this problem but at the other side of the bridge, however im using a modded version of a Whiterun mod which changes that area and adds more light so im not sure if its my fault for the flickering.

 

However, i also had this problem in the Whiterun player home. If i stood in the small room off from the kitchen, the lighting would switch from the over bright fire place lighting to a more calm light from RLO. I found changing my load order fixed this and i havent had such problems since.

 

The only main problem i have now is adding RLO lighting to custom areas in my mods because the lighting looks terrible! -_-

[Damastang]

In what way did you change your load order? I have stuffed around with load order for ages and have not had any luck. Can you possibly copy and paste in your load order? Thanks for the reply, I might try disabling beautiful whiterun and see what happens but this also happens in caves .ect so not sure. Cheers

 

EDIT: Disabling Beautiful Whiterun didn't help :(

Honestly this is driving me crazy, I have no idea what to do other than to uninstall RLO :sad:. You will also see the black bars of "light" coming through the roof, this is something I only just discovered when taking this screenshot.

I have exactly the same issue, searched around the internet, but no solution at the moment. Only happens when I pull light source such as torch out to dark cell. Disabling RLO seems to be the only fix I've found, but game lighting looks horrible without it. CoT, CoT weather patch, RLO are only light mods I have I don't know what is causing it.

Hi everyone!

Have you guys managed to fix it somehow? I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy and my eyes sore!

Please assist fellow weird light behaviour combatants! :)

[Project579]

We need more info if you want help. Like what other mods you have installed (not only the load order even the mod list etc.).

[HoneyDestiny]

RLO has always done this for me as well. I think it may just be a flaw.

I know this is old, but this is the same problem I am having. Sometimes I'll be able to see people near a fire, but if I move slightly they all become dark. I'm considering ditching RLO
