NerevarII Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) I've tried everything from reinstalling the game, windows, drivers, ect. All available fixes that you can find on google and the nexus. This happened, seemingly randomly. Well, it happened right as I dropped my keyboard during gameplay, and no idea why. This makes me think a key, or combination of keys, was pressed, causing the issue. One time this happened, it was because "brute force" in ENB accidentally got turned on. Turned off, problem solved. Another time, it seemed to go away by itself. I disabled mods, all of them, the enb, ect. Still no dice. No solution. Now what makes it weird, is pausing the game or opening the console makes the frames jump back up to normal, then right back down when unpaused or console closed. This doesn't happen until after a few minutes. And it get's weirder. It seems this only happens in a small area of riften, as shown in the video I'm about to upload, as well as inside the Inn. Once I cross over a certain spot outside, the frames get better. Or so I thought. That was, until I turned my ENB back on, and didn't get the performance I was supposed to get (40+ frames outside), also shown in the video that will posted soon. It was worse with all of my mods disabled, and happened almost instantly. Disabled half, happened after a minute or so, disabled them all, happened after a few minutes. When I first noticed it, with all mods and ENB enabled, it would slowly, gradually decrease, then after all mods and ENB disabled, it would take a bit to drop 1 FPS, then drop a whole 10 FPS.This is all while looking at the same spot, doesnt matter if it's a performance unfriendly spot, or a super performance friendly corner inside the Inn. But this shouldn't matter, as I've been playing with these mods, changing nothing, perfectly fine, up until this point, and it's even a new game save. So, what gives?

Jannifer Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Have you started a new game? I would think that you did that when you disabled your mods, but just wanted to check. Also, have you verified your game cache through Steam? Sometimes that solves surprising things. Have you made any edits at all to your .ini? Also, you have not mentioned how you are installing and uninstalling your mods. Are you doing that manually, or using a mod manager? Believe me, I understand the frustration of trying to run down what's causing your game to pitch a fit and fall in it. I once spent three days running down what I thought was a texture or body mod issue only to find out that it was a mod which changed the character's weight and height according to race. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerevarII Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah I started a new game, I use nexus mod manager but for models and textures it's mostly manual. I am afraid to verify cache at this time because I currently have no way of backing up my install (no space to do so) and last time I verified cache, Steam deleted EVERYTHING Skyrim-related. I despise steam and steam cloud. Any .ini edits are edits that I have tried and found to be stable, non-game breaking edits, that have never given me issues before. Nothing too fancy or crazy, more on the side of increasing detail for certain things. What's more weird is, as shown in video (well, what I decided to record anyway) is that this only happens in Riverwood, with the FPS dipping to single digits in Sleeping Giant Inn gradually over time. Again, this is a reinstalled game on a freshly installed windows using the same mods and setup as before, and I've never had this issue in Riverwood, ever, for any install. Max settings for ENB, in the most demanding areas of Skyrim, don't have this issue. I know riverwood is/was notorious for certain spots causing huge FPS drops but, I have never experienced it, and it seems nobody has experienced what I am. Except for a couple people, and their solutions have nothing to do with my set up :( Did a ghost posses my computer? Maybe the ghosts all of those I've slain in Riverwood for giving attitude?

thetechgenius Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 As for verifying the files though steam, thats why I install all mods through Mod Organizer or NMM. Because they both store installed mods Outside of the Skyrim game folder, so the mods will not be effected when you Verify the Files via steam. Thats why programs like Mod Organizer were created. To keep the Skyrim Data folder untouched/unmodded. The only things you would need to backup if you install all your mods like that, is your INI and other config files, as well as your ENB files in the Skyrim Root Folder. To be honest, I would start all over and let NMM or MO handle ALL of your mods. So if this happens again or something else, you can re-install Skyrim without a problem, without loosing your mods.

NerevarII Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Wow I thought I replied......I see what you mean. Also, I found out that it was the ENB's vsync overlapping my graphics cards. Never had an issue with that and randomly it breaks. Lol. I'm using my graphics cards vsync without issues and enb's vsync is turned off. Strange though, how it would continually decrease fps. Oh well. Thank you though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
