Zeppelin1996 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 PC Specs:CPU: i5 6402pGPU: AMD RX480 8GB I am having an issue where black textures randomly appear, mostly on female NPCs, trees, and distant LOD. I have several large texture packs installed (Skyrim HD, SFO, Vivid Landscapes, SMIM) along with Realvision ENB and ELFX. I am using both ENBoost and the SKSE memory patch and I've ran all of my texture packs through the Ordenador texture optimizer. I know that the issue is usually related to the 4GB VRAM limit of Skyrim but my I've only ever seen my VRAM usage get up to 2900MB. Besides that, I've seen the black textures pop up when VRAM usage was only at 1700MB, so I don't think VRAM usage is the issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

snelss0 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hmm, it is perhaps something that Ordenador did, as each of those mods individually should work together to some degree. Have you tried Skyrim Mod Combiner? Perhaps that would work for what you are wanting to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin1996 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Is there also a limit for system RAM usage? It seems that my RAM usage for Skyrim is significantly higher than my VRAM usage. It exceeds 3GB very often and has even gotten up to 3.5GB. Could this be the problem?

snelss0 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I believe 3.1 is the limit. Anything over that and you are going to be hitting crashes.Make sure you are using these to help with memory usage.SSME - Skyrim Startup Memory Editor by Queuehttp://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50305/?Skyrim Stability Guide by FireFreak111http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50244/?Stable uGridsToLoadhttp://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41592/?

Zeppelin1996 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) I've found a fix. All I needed was to set "enableunsafememoryhacks" to true in my enblocal.ini since my GPU has over 4GB of VRAM. Nearly cut my RAM usage in half and even decreased my VRAM usage considerably. And no more black textures. Thanks for the suggestions though. Edited November 23, 2016 by Zeppelin1996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 i think you generally want to avoid compressing skin textures. i've resized them just fine. somehow i don't really think that you're solving the underlying issue, given the solution.

Zeppelin1996 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 I never compressed any skin textures, only my landscape and environmental texture packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
