Screen Wiggly WooWooMan.

[Typhoon Omi]

So recently, I've broke a tenant and installed more than one mod at a time without testing.

 

While my problems are minute (no CTDs, things are functioning well enough), whenever I access my inventory and then return outside of my inventory and/or whenever I am attacked, the screen distorts and just goes crazy. For a better example, I've uploaded a short video:

 

http://www.xfire.com/video/3b162a/

 

Again, no hard breaking of the game, but it makes combat and general play difficult.

 

Fortunately, I can isolate exactly what has changed between the last time I can 100% concretely confirm this did not occur, and I also have my current load out courtesy of Wrye Bash (likely a few issues with the end load-order):

I've disabled all mods and ran from vanilla client just to see if that sorted the problem, and while improved, it still occurred. If any more information is wanted or needed, don't hesitate to ask.

 

I'd love if this were an issue that could be specifically isolated versus having to delete all content attached to every mod I believe questionable beyond a certain time. I HAVE FAITH.

[Reaverdude]

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. But I just wanted to ask, i watched your video, how'd you get your sword to have a flame on it? Can you point me to the right mod? Thank you.

[Typhoon Omi]

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. But I just wanted to ask, i watched your video, how'd you get your sword to have a flame on it? Can you point me to the right mod? Thank you.

 

Sure, no problem -- there's technically two mods you can use for that specific flame sword, one's a quest mod that uses the other as a resource so I'll just link both and you can choose your preference.

 

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6846 - Quest + dungeon with lots of Fire Salts.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4949 - straight equipment mod. I recommend #1 though.

 

Has armor, arrows with a pretty nice enchant (and boat-loads of them), best fire salt mining run ever, and Phoenix Short Swords / Daggers / Long Swords / Claymores / Axes / etc. that're on fire like that.

[skullsy]

Try disabling HDR, and see if it fixes the problem. Of course, if it does fix the problem, you can try re enabling it again.

 

 

 

 

 

Your problem is common with people using Forced AA and HDR, and some say that disabling HDR for a bit, saving the game, then re enabling will fix it.

[MikeySix]

Looks like a problem with the camera.

 

Use console code "TFC" without quotes and see if it still does it.

[Typhoon Omi]

Alright, we're getting places. I tried checking the camera and using TFC, that didn't help unfortunately. However, the HDR issue seemed to be on the ball.

 

I disabled/saved/etc. and sure enough, things ran golden. Re-enabling however, caused the same problem (as does Bloom lighting.) Also, I tried enabling anti-aliasing (2x to start), and had a fun time because that made the menu not load at the title screen, and when I did manage to get in game, made my character's deformed jaw float through his armor. So I set it back to 0 from my ini.

 

Unusual that, but things seem to mostly work so far.. except the same problem still occurs if I draw the Phoenix weaponry (aka the flaming sword in my video) and then get hit by a guard. Any other weapon, mod added or no, seems to work out fine -- and reinstalling the Phoenix weaponry does not appear to fix the issue. They work fine until someone hits me, then the camera issue goes whacky again (until I unequip the weapon or walk out of combat range.) No big deal since I can just put those in a chest somewhere, but odd.

 

Also, I can hear in the background (faintly) a casting sound, over and over again.

 

Interestingly.. setting bDSoundHWAcceleration=1 to 0 and bUseSoftwareAudio3D=0 to 1 makes the problem slightly better (the sound is fainter), but if nothing is going on, I can still hear it mildly.

 

FINALLY, I used to always be able to Console -> Alt Tab, now I can't.

 

Thank you both for your help, the game is playable now -- but I've still got some odd quirks to work through it seems. ._.

[Typhoon Omi]

Hm. Update -- I as a hunch replaced my shaders with their original counterparts, and I'm as good as I've been so far. I can even use the Phoenix weaponry and not suffer the odd camera issue..

 

..until I access the Options Menu or the Inventory, then it starts acting up. Only with those specific items, mind you. Not sure why that'd occur, it doesn't make much sense at first glance.

[xachan86]

Interesting topic, because I happen to have exactly the same problem, except that it only happens when I hit or get hit. The problem only disappears when the fight is over. So I might try to fickle with HDR and forced AA, because I happen to use both, too (in-game HDR and forced AA through my nVidia control panel)...

 

And interestingly enough, I also had the menu problem: the intro vids work well but no selection menu ever appears... I thought I had wrongly installed something so I made (again !) a fresh install. From what you say, it could come from this forced AA thing?

 

I'll try what you tried, to see if it helps.

[Typhoon Omi]

Yeah, for some odd reason the forced AA caused the main menu to disappear entirely. I only got in game because I remembered up -> enter -> up, but then things took on a whole new look in game. Most of the geometry didn't load, and what did load was.. disfigured in an awesomely horrifying way.

 

Which is weird because I've had anti-aliasing and HDR on before now and not had this issue at all.

 

Even without HDR and AA, I'm still suffering the on hit issue now, but it's different.. it only occurs:

 

-To specific items (I assume because of the flame effect.)

-When I access my inventory, the options menu, etc.

 

And now, rather than do like the video, it briefly flashes to a tan screen under my HUD interface. Pretty "new" behavior for me.

 

Hope this helps you xa_chan!

[Typhoon Omi]

Also xa_chan and anyone else with this problem: if you're running NVidia on your graphic card and have updated your drivers, make sure it doesn't reset your NVidia Control Panel 3D settings on your Oblivion.exe (or if there isn't one there at all, add it), and then the obvious:

 

-Anti-Aliasing Mode: Off

-Vertical Sync: Force Off

-(Turn it back to 3if this doesn't help any, but it supposedly does in some cases) Maximum pre-rendered frames: 0

 

Fixed the issue for me to my knowledge, should for you too if you are running NVidia.

 

Now I still need to test if it'll play kosher with HDR or not, and I still need to figure out what this odd constant casting / mystic sound is about, but that's a big step forward.

 

[Edit]: HDR's a go.
