RueGirl1 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi I started installing a new setup for Skyrim and I'm experiencing a graphics bug I've never seen before. After extensive testing and removing recently installed mods one by one I still can't isolate the problem. The bug tends to happen outdoors, near the waterfalls around Riverwood and Whiterun. Water, smoke, trees, and most objects turn into solid black cubes or pixels. But I can still see and move my character and or open menus for a few seconds/minutes before the game crashes. I haven't been able to reproduce the crash indoors--only outside near water. I disabled ENB using shift + F12 and it still happens, so I don't think my ENB is to blame. However I am trying a new ENB, Real Vision for Climates of Tamriel V by Exalerion. I followed his installation instructions to the letter, and I have some experience with ENBs, having used the original Real Vision, Grim and Somber Azura, and Snapdragon Prime before without issue. When I began my new setup I wiped my Skyrim local content and started with fresh pure vanilla goodness, following the STEP guide for Mod Organizer users. I installed about 50 mods before I noticed this glitch. I do of course run LOOT, and clean dirty files with TES5Edit, all the good stuff. I have a hunch that Realistic Water Two may be the culprit but I've used it before and never had an issue.

Thank you You are primarily having this problem because you are not following the mod authors specific installation instructionsplease review their instructions and use COT 3.1 The mod author designed real vision to be used with the older version on of COT. The mod author has some very specific instructions if you're not going to follow them, then you should be prepared for the lack of results. You also need to use the older ENB binary as he has specified as well. Edited July 17, 2016 by Reynard131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RueGirl1 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 No I am not using Real Vision by Skyrim Tuner. I am using Real Vision for Climates of Tamriel by Exalerion. http://nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73661They are two different ENBs. His is specifically designed to work with Climates of Tamriel VIt's a good thought.But I DID follow the installation instructions Exalerion provides and got the correct binary that was linked on the ENBs page. Anyways I don't think its the ENB at all. This glitch still happens even with ENB disabled. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this before when I screwed up This STEP http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB guide should help you to figure this out it is a relatively simple setting.Basically How your shadows are rendered and shadow striping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
