shadow85 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have been playing Skyrim since release with many texture mods to improve texture/graphics. Everything has been fine. Then all of a sudden after a few weeks of not playing it, and then updating to the new patch, Beta 290.53 drivers and adding a few more texture mods I am getting random micro freezes and long freezes ingame. I am able to get really high FPS a lot of the time, but occasionaly when I look in a certain direction or something it will stutter/freeze etc and becomes extremly frustrating to play koz u feel like you can not turn a certain direction without it stuttering. Any1 having similar problems, I have lots of texture mods, ENB mod, FXAA mod etc etc. I have a feeling its something simple.

xxchronic2006xx Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Usually stuttering is indicative of fps drops (in my experience). Perhaps you are pushing your gpu/cpu too far with all your texture mods? You have a lot of variables like new patch, new drivers. and more mods. So I don't know which is to blame. Have you tried this mod: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4387 it helps improve performance and makes things easier on your cpu which may result in less (or no) stuttering (it improved my fps by 10).

shadow85 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi thanks I will try that out now. I don't think I have CPU/GPU problems, because the game can run completly fine on my rig, I get like constant 60fps in just about any area, it's just that occasionally when I make a sharp turn in a certain direction I will get the stutter/freezing.

dragonfirexz95 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting this too now. Especially around the Whiterun area. It's not nearly as bad in other places, but it never happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was running the game maxed out and geting 60 fps everywhere but when I went into towns like whiterun when looking around I would get drastic fps drops and the game would start stuttering. Through reading the description of the mod I linked I believe my cpu is having trouble keeping up so to my resentment I had to lower my settings to high and even then there still was a little stuttering which was taken care of by that mod. Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting this too now. Especially around the Whiterun area. It's not nearly as bad in other places, but it never happened before. That is happening because your cpu or gpu is being stressed. Try the mod I linked (http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4387) and if that doesn't work you can try running the game in windowed mode and using simple borderless window mod so it appears fullscreen (http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4#content). If these two mods don't help out then you definitely should lower your game settings. Edited January 7, 2012 by xxchronic2006xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfu1988 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You could also try this plugin, i've got good results with it. http://alexander.sannybuilder.com/?category=other&altname=skyrim_boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was running just fine 2 days ago, I added no mods or anything and all of a sudden it's stuttering in the wilderness. That's not the answer.

That's not the answer.You should try skyboost. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2398851 I think it will be better then tesval (it was for me). But I have also fps drops, but then in dungeons. Someone know the cause? Edited January 8, 2012 by ufw7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow85 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 this really started happening after the new patch still hasnt been fixed tried everything. Im about to give up :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxchronic2006xx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I'm sorry I wasn't able to help :( If you lowered your settings and still get stuttering then I'm out of ideas. The latest patch does seem to break a lot of things that were once working... Thanks to the others that contributed, I'll look into sky boost (although my skrim is running fine now but never hurts to squeeze out some extra performance).
