Annoying white flickering

[Sirithariel]

When I run Skyrim on both my computer and the family computer I get this annoying white flickering, here's a screenshot:

And here's a video I took (not great quality because I took it on my phone):

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Oh well :(

I can't watch the video you uploaded, 205mb is just too big.

Is it the same thing as this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgAEBYwtIkQ

 

.....I dunno, you can try checking the usual culprits, remove your mods first then delete your skyrimprefs.ini and skyrim.ini in your mygames folder.

My problem's the same as the flickering on the item on the loading screen (0:07), thanks I'll try doing what you suggested

Antialiasing on maximum and u won't have that problem anymore

Ah that is called texture crawl, it seems by default Skyrim has the mipmaps pushed back a little more than normal.

This is by design because it makes the textures appear to be a little sharper.

You can try enabling Anisotropic filtering to atleast 8x

 

Turning on AA won't do anything because it's only for the edges

but FXAA will reduce the shimmer to a degree, (it's in the advanced options)

 

If that is not enough and you have a Nvidia card

you can find something called "Texture filtering - Negative LOD Bias" and change the setting to Clamped

read aboot it here if you want http://www.tweakguides.com/NVFORCE_6.html

 

Having the lod bias clamped along with Anisotropic filtering set to 8x or more will probably result in the highest quality texture with the least amount of shimmering.

 

If you are an ATI user you need to download RadeonPro to enable the texture lod bias

I tried antialiasing on maximum but I still had the flickering
