Black screen when sneaking...

[macmert]

Hey I searched the forums but I couldnt find anything related to this, when I switch to sneak mode, sometimes the screen goes black, but I still can see the compass and stuff, open my inventory just fine, it is like someone has put a black veil on your eyes, and when I stand up the screen comes on back... do you know why does this happen? Did any of you encounter something like that?

 

Can you help me :D

Do you have a nVidia card? If yes your problem could be solved using this:

This little mod tries to fix the black screen problem some people with the latest Nvidia cards have.

This is different than the black screen fix from Quarn, because it tackles a different black screen bug.

 

What's addressed here is the black screen you get ONLY while sneaking in first person, in interiors with npcs present.

 

What the mod does is turn off Interior Shadows while your character is sneaking in first person view (with no weapon or shield or torch in use), so the black screen is no more.

Interior Shadows are reset to the value you've chosen in the game settings in all other situations, so you won't lose shadows when the black screen is not an issue.

 

Remember to set the shadows to your chosen value in the game settings before activating this mod.

 

REQUIREMENTS:

This mod needs OBSE v.10 or higher to work. There is absolutely no sane reason for a player of modded Oblivion not to use OBSE.
