Does anyone know what on earth could be causing this graphical issue (imprint of Pip-boy and characters, like screen burn)

[leoares]

Can you see how I've got two 'imprints' on the screen? One of the pip boy and one of my character.

It only appears in third person and doesn't show up in screenshots either. And it's only happened for the first time as I'm still in the wasteland but approaching DC from the super duper mart.

It appears on screen when I'm near the location I opened up my pip boy or looking in that direction. When I walk off it disappears eventually until I open up the pip boy again.

I've been slowly trying to get FO3 to work on my W10 PC, only really interested in performance/stability mods and bugfixes because I want a vanilla experience.

• GPU: NVIDA GeForce GTX 950
• CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.30GHz, 3300 Mhz

This is the latest in a loooonnngg line of weird issues I've had which I get is par for the course. I've accepted it's never going to run through steam, and I'm never going to generate detailed distant LOD the way I want. I also had some horrendous aliasing which I just managed to fix, and I was thinking I can finally play the game, then BAM! These artifacts start appearing.

Could my GPU be dead? I know it's old but I know the previous owner and it's not got a ton of mileage. I've tried so many ini and graphical tweaks but feel free to suggest any I might have missed.

That shadow of my character by the way, moves around as I do, raises his gun etc. Very weird and googling seems to suggest that no one has had this issue before me ever

Did you make the changes to the Fallout3.ini, located in the My Documents folder, that would limit you CPU to using only two cores?

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

Kind of strikes me as an ENB post-processing effect that is lingering for some reason.  Especially with the Pip-boy effect only appearing near the location that you last opened the Pip-boy.
