randylahey Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hello, I'm having a problem with an extreme enchantment glow on weapons, items and bodies. Specifically, I recently enchanted a number of weapons/jewelry/armor, and there is now a glow on the weapons that is so extreme that texture/detail on those items is gone (they appear in solid mono-chrome). This appears both during regular gameplay and when viewing the journal. I've attached a few screenshots to clarify. I surmise from other posts that enchanted items should glow (to some degree), but I'm sure what I'm seeing is over and above what is intended. In addition to this, a related problem is evident on the bodies of my character and other NPCs when a spell is cast on them (or an enchanted item is worn): specifically, the eyes, ears and mouth glow as described above, and small glowing sparkling specks can be seen on the body. I've tried a couple of different "no-glow" mods to fix this, but they don't seem to help. I've re-installed the game (with patch 1.2, no mods), no difference. I've tried using old save files and enchanting items again, but the same behavior persists. I've checked the forums for similar problems, but I can't seem to find anyone who's experienced this behavior. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers. PS - I've got HDR on and Bloom off, anti-aliasing off.

Abramul Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Don't eat wild mushrooms. I've never heard of such a problem. However, patch 1.2 is very recent. I'd try reinstalling, WITHOUT patching (or only patching to 1.1), and see if this persists. If you can figure out a way to replicate this on individual characters, that might be interesting... Am I correct in thinking that ONLY weapon and shield are affected? What about enchanted gauntlets? Enchanted weapons/shields on other characters? Unenchanted weapons and shields?

randylahey Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks for the response - as for your questions: - all unenchanted items are fine- this character's cuirass and greaves are enchanted, but have always looked normal. - same goes for his enchanted staffs and bow- his enchanted rings also glow, but not the necklace.- ALL enchanted weapons (on other enemy NPCs, eg) seem to have this crazy glow I may try a new install with the old patch, as you suggested.

randylahey Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 OK - fixed it. Something to do with the new patch (v1.2). I re-installed with patch v1.1, and all is well. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkillous Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Anyone know if the unofficial oblivion patch fixes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I don't think it does. They are probably letting Bethesda do it themselves. I don't know if it's even possible for the unofficial patch team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkillous Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 o_O ... :dry: ... bah, got any bright ideas about how we can get bethesda to do something about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think they know about the bugs already. They have to update the buggy CS anyway, unless they want to lose the modding community. They'll probably update the game then too. And if the xbox version has the same problems, they really have to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
