rsagris Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have an in game graphics bug/error that I am unsure that the source is. I'm brand new to Skyrim (just bought the game a month ago), but I am definitely beyond a total neophyte thanks to the excellent YouTube tutorial videos. So, using Mod Organizer, everything is up to date and current. My issue (and I've seen this graphics error in other mods), it's where an item or monster from a mod is visually/geometrically exploded and sending out a star-burst of irregular rays centering on the item and blotting out the entire player field of view if that Item or Monster is within the Player's field of view, as long as the Player is not looking at the item AT ALL, no graphical aberrations are evident. What is the source of these errors? I figure it's some sort of texture/mesh mismatch, but it could be ESP problem and my Google-Fu is failing me as I can't find ANYTHING on the web that describes what I'm seeing in game. Currently, I *THINK* I'm getting these errors from Immersive Armors (just recently started using it) but it could be Cloaks of Skyrim/Winter is Coming (both mods, with Crafting Overhaul Compatitibilty patches added), as I can't see what the item is causing the problem (due to the exploded graphics) I'm not sure which is the source of the problem. Is this something I can "fix"? Maybe pull a previous version of the mesh/texture from an older version (if it's one of those files that's causing the problem) Or is this a deeper plugin bug that is going to have to wait for the Modder to update the mod? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_69_327 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What mod?...having a list of the mods (load order) would help . You mention IA and Cloaks of Skyrim but is that all the mods you have..also System specs for a starter helps also. the more WE know the better help you can get...all guess work at this point.. Ask for Help... is a sticky post at the top of this forum. Could be a skeleton problem, reproccer, FNIS.....ECT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsagris Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) What I'm really asking, is what causes that specific graphics aberation. Like I said, I've seen this problem in two separate mods now, and I want to know what causes it *in general*, not what specifically is wrong in these mods. The one mod I know had a problem was a werewolf mod (from another site) which had I known what files cause this kind of error, I likely could have pulled a previous version of it to replace that *one* file, as a troubleshooting technique, to see if that would have been sufficient to fix it and continue using the rest of the newest version of the mod. If I know the answer to this, I can then usually quickly figure out what is causing the problem (some mod overwrites the wrong component of the Items graphics, etc... But if its something else (no overwriting, so no load order issue at all) but is due to a corrupted file during a mod upgrade (by the mod packager), then I can go about searching for a previous version and replacing that ONE file. See what I'm getting at? So, again, what causes graphics errors where the item blows up into a prismatic spray of rays spreading out from one central point (centered on the object) and fan out into infinity? What files usualy are the source of this kind of graphics error in game? Textures? Meshes? Skeletons? Etc...

postal001 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Sounds like your gpu is over heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsagris Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 No, my gpu is *NOT* overheating. Like I said, I've seen this error in a specific werewolf mod (just as an example), it has the same exact error mode (the rays that span out from where the werewolf is, using the same colors as the werewolf's skin) and they go away when I remove THAT mod. But I got the same exact error from some item (one was a set of gauntlets, that I foolishly did not write down the name of, so no I don't know which Armor/Weapons mod I got them from), but when I enabled/re-enabled them, the error went away. Which is why I'm asking, what causes this particular peculiar graphics error? I'm asking this, not so I can just remove the mod that is causing it, I'm asking so I know in the future when I see this whether I have any options to fix it, like say, replace that particular file. But at the moment I don't know what kind of file or configuration issue causes these errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_69_327 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 as i said in the first post in this thread......"Could be a skeleton problem, reproccer, FNIS.....ECT..." Could also be.....a bad MESH , texture, video card, Video card driver, the moon in the wrong phase.......without any answers from you its all guess work. Try taking a PIC.....
