ShibePatrol Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) I've only been playing Skyrim on PC for over a month, but I've read up a lot and watched a lot of videos about modding, so I'm aware of many of the problems people face while modding the game. I'm very good at following step-by-step instructions carefully, and I'm probably below average in doing my own troubleshooting, but I'm learning. A little background on this problem I'm having: My game was running fairly stable, but all of a sudden I started having more CTDs, more ILS, and then a couple things happened. One time when I fast-traveled to Whiterun, all the NPCs had black bodies. I quit, reloaded, re-entered the city, and everything seemed ok now. Later in Windhelm, a mounted deer head was purple, so I knew some textures were failing to load. The textures were there - they just weren't loading. As an amateur I thought, aha, memory problems. I don't use an ENB (I do use Imaginator and Dynavision), but I decided to install ENBoost, following the instructions found on the skyrimmods subreddit sidebar to the letter. I ran the VRAM size test and everything to get the proper values in the ini. Now textures are loading properly, fewer CTDs, played for hours today without a crash, and everybody's skin looked great, and I didn't see any missing textures. It seemed to be the solution I needed. So what's the problem? Well, I was following the quest where you have to investigate a murder in Windhelm, and I kept hearing these freaky noises when I would move around interior spaces, especially in the Palace of the Kings. I was so busy on my quest I chalked it up to my audio mods misbehaving and kept playing. I did notice a few wheels of cheese and books on the floor, but being my first playthrough, I naively thought, Wow, how immersive, the Jarls are pissed that the Imperials won and they're tearing the place apart! Little did I know that every time my back was turned, clutter was flying everywhere. To make a long story short, I left Windhelm, and then I noticed what the sounds were. Whenever I would enter an inn or other interior space and move about, objects and clutter would fly everywhere. In more cramped areas, it's nearly unplayable at times with all the stuff flying everywhere. Once, I even hovered momentarily in midair. Ah, I had encountered the infamous flying objects bug. Time to search for a fix. Unfortunately, there's a lot of conflicting information about this bug. Some say to run an FPS limiter, but others say this slows the game down to a lag. Some say to disable VSync, but others say this is a very bad idea that introduces other bigger problems. So I ask: What is the accepted "cure" for the flying objects bug? If it helps, I'm playing on a laptop with Nvidia Geforce 950M and Intel Core i7-6500u @ 2.50 GHz. All my drivers are up-to-date and everything. I'll post my mod list if it's helpful, but in this case I'm not sure it's terribly relevant. Obviously the dilemma is limiting FPS to 60 without breaking the game. I know I'm not the first one to encounter this problem; I'm just not sure how to sift through all the different suggestions for a fix. Any help? EDIT: I thought about it, and it's probably relevant to post my enblocal.ini settings, so here they are: https://pastebin.com/zbktBZbf I'm thinking I should set the FPSLimiter to true, but to be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing. EDIT2: I should have given this more thought before posting. I set EnableFPSLimit to true and FPSLimit to 60 in enblocal.ini, and it seems to have worked. I walked around a lot of interior spaces and even fast traveled back to the Palace of the Kings just to test it, and the poltergeists appear to have been exorcised from my game. I'm sorry for troubling you with this post. Edited July 16, 2017 by ShibePatrol

ShibePatrol Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 @Gorsha Thanks. I didn't notice this setting. @Cowgoesmoo3 The funniest moment for me was opening the door to Idgrod the Younger's room in Morthal while she was sleeping. It was like a blizzard of clutter :laugh: :laugh:
