SeaSwift Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi Nexus Forums. New member here, so if I make a mistake here, please bear with me and try not to be too harsh :happy: I downloaded Skyrim on Steam and tried to play it. As far as I know, my system specs are all fine (I went on CanIRunit to find out, because I know very little about computers). The first time I played it the menu, map and loading screen worked fine. However, the rendering on the first person and 3rd person view in the game looked like it was broken. Some of the screen was fine, but the rest was blacked out in lines down the screen, and when I looked at light in-game (eg, faced up to see the sun) the black changed to all kinds of colours, but definitely not the ones they were supposed to be! I did the classic "switch it off, switch it back on again", restarted the PC and tried again. Success, the game worked fine, no rendering problems. Today, I went to play it again and the same thing occurred. There are patches on my screen that are black/shiny, depending on light in-game. I turned all the graphics down to the lowest possible (the default for my computer was medium), but to no avail. I'm intending to take screenshots this time and find a website to host them, then I'll put the links on here. Is this a common problem? Is my computer not up to scratch? Am I explaining it badly? :P Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSwift Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) OK, got my system specs. No idea how much of it is useful, so I just put it all in ^_^ EDIT: And here's some imgur screenshots: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/207/fullscreencapture161120.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/fullscreencapture161120.png/ Thanks, jim.

I don't know what causes that but this might fix it... http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=91 Apoligies for the late reply, got captured by the other half shortly after replying to you and forgot all about it. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSwift Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks a lot, Jim. Certainly looks like my problems to come under there! I'll see if it works, and if I don't get back to the forums it will be because it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
