GreyFaux Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Sorry, I've searched all over the forum and seen issues similar to mine, but not the same. Whenever I take a step, the textures in my game glitch out and start applying weird shadows. It doesn't happen whenever I stand still, nor when I am in dungeons/indoors. My specs are as follows: Windows Vista Home PremiumIntel Core 2 Duo @ 2.00GHz4.00 GB RAMGeForce GTX 260M It came about sometime after I update to 1.5 and installed the FXAA Post Process Injector, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and have not been able to isolate a problem. I've also screwed around with all the SkyrimPrefs.ini and Skyrim.ini files to no avail. This video shows what happens when I move. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOOSB6uQNf0&feature=plcp&context=C4fe1ffbVDvjVQa1PpcFMaC2KaffFAGHy5w8AmxD-Yr0Ge9CBQWHc%3D Any help is GREATLY appreciated Edited March 27, 2012 by GreyFaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MShoap13 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 How far out do you have your shadows set? This line in SkyrimPrefs.ini:fShadowDistance=xxxx.0000 It seems like you're either running out of RAM or something is getting skipped during the shadow processing steps and it's just shading it all as a result. Are you on 32 or 64 bit WIndows? Are you running any ENBseries mods, or Realistic Lighting? FXAA PPI shouldn't cause this as it's only post processing (It affects the entire rendered frame, not objects during rendering). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levitas23 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm having the same issue with a GeoForce 260m as well. Someone else posted somewhere that their issue (same issue, also provided a picture) was fixed when they updated their graphics card drivers, and I think they also had a GeoForce 200 series driver. I'm having trouble finding the appropriate place to get my driver, as Nvidia doesn't recognize my card and alienware doesn't have an update.

levitas23 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) nVidia Verde Notebook Release 265 <-- XP x64 nVidia Driver Finder I appreciate the post, but that was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately, the update doesn't cover Hybrid graphics card systems, and alienware hasn't made an update on their end since 2008. I'm just screwed until I find a way to get a 1.4 version of skyrim or alienware's tech support gets back to me. Thanks though! Hopefully this will help most people who see that post with this problem! Edited March 28, 2012 by levitas23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fShadowDistance is set to 4000.0000 and I doubt I am running out of RAM.I'm running a 64-bit Windows OS and aside from FXAA PPI don't have any shading mods.

I have a GeForce GT 240 with the latest NVidia Skyrim driver.With me its only after running a long time or coming back up from standby. I suspect something related to the Driver gets hosed.Sometimes it goes away if I can ignore it long enough.Sometimes I have to reboot to eliminate it.It is a minor problem on my system.

dorianwills Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm just commenting here in case anyone is searching, I had this problem with ENB & FXAA PPI and for me the solution was to raise the shadow level from Medium to High in the game's settings.
