Lighting particle effects bug. What is going on. No lighting mods installed

[HybridLowe]

I'm having that problem where the lighting in a cave, dungeon, tavern, ratway vaults or in this case Sky Haven temple where the lighting gets all bleached out or blocked off or something. Only happens when I position the camera a certain way. Is this a conflict with Enhanced Camera maybe? I dont have any light mods, havent even got around to downloading any.

 

For the love of Talos this is getting insane. I think its gonna give me epilepsy its that bad. Truly game breaking. My eyes hurt right now writing this.

 

This is Skyrim LE

 

Edit: If you are experiencing the problems in the photos below, scroll down to grospolina's post about deleting the Skyrim ini's from your \my games\skyrim\ folder. This was the fix that killed this bug for me.Big thanks to Grospolina for the advice :thumbsup:

 

I'm on a 2015 Macbook bootcamped to run Windows 7. It has a Nvidia GEForce 750M which has 2gb of video memory.

Here's a few screen shots of my system specs and load order:

Can anyone point me to a thread or video or have any advice on how to fix this? Thanks guys!

Skyrim sometimes has weird problems running through Bootcamp. Are you using an ENB? If you are, can you please post your Skyrim.ini, SkyrimPrefs.ini and enblocal.ini (using spoiler tags)? DO you have any mods that are not listed in your LOOT screenshot? Mods that don't have plugins don't show up there.

Grospolina, You are kind to help me! I am running the antifreeze enb Patch [most recent release (v0096)]. I did try to get ICBINE 4 going and did the d3d9 proxy that it said in the instuctions but I pulled all that out, taxed my performance too much; maybe I put it in wrong. I reverted everything back to just be running the antifreeze. Here are my ini's:

Thanks again! Hopefully you can help me get this sorted out with this information.

Oh, Antifreeze. That's super, super old. I suggest switching over to ENBoost. It's ENB but with the visual enhancements turned off, so you just get the memory fixes.

 

Also, your video card is set to "ENB" in SKyrimPrefs.ini. I'm not sure if it gets set correctly under Bootcamp, but you may want to try deleting your Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini and then running the Skyrim Launcher again (not skse_launcher). This will make it re-detect your video card. It looks like you still have some settings from when you tried to install ENB, so that could be taxing your system too. I also suggest running BethINI afterwards to optimize your INI files.

I have the nvidia geforce application on my pc side and everything seems to be running fine there but ya you never know with these kind of setups. I'm trying to build a proper pc but rent along with all my other bills makes it very tough :/ . Is that link to ENBoost the latest patch? Could I just use the latest ENBseries and run the UsespeedhackWithoutgraphics=true to get the performance enhancements????

 

I will try your suggestions now and see what the result is for this bug :thumbsup:

 

By the Nine it worked!!!! Just by deleting those ini files and resetting my video settings seemed to do the trick. I havent tried installing ENBoost yet but I'm about to and see if theres any performance increase on my machine.

 

Thanks for your advice Grospolina!!!!

Woohoo! Glad you got it fixed.

 

And yes, you can use the latest ENBseries for ENBoost (current version is 0.319).
