Firefly627 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) All right, after having recently gone back and forth with the BethSoft technical support, I was told to go into Steam and run the "verify integrity of cache" command. So I did that. I was missing a file, missing file was reaquired. My game had previously failed to load levels entirely, and I was experiencing a horrible framerate when the game auto-tuned itself to "high" settings. After the cache-integrity sequence happened it ran great for about...11 seconds. However, now every time I load any save, I see these peculiar speckled dots and splotches all over my screen. I can last about 11 seconds before my game game freezes, then my screen will turn black. For a moment or so the game will come back up on display, but remain frozen, then, I get what I call the white screen of death, and then the game ceases to respond entirely. I have no idea what to do now, BethSoft isn't helping at all. Edited May 21, 2012 by Firefly627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 To me this sounds like a graphics card overload/crash. What card are you using, how much VRAM, also how do you have your skyrim graphics options set up?Have you looked at how much load your card is taking while playing?

I would completely agree with you if I was experiencing this issue with other games, but that is not the case at all. It's just with Skyrim, and it was after I did the "Verify integrity of game cache" and the game actually identified my video card for once. It has it auto-set to high, but I turn the shadows to low, distant object detail to low, radial blur to medium, and FXAA off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've never heard of this causing crashes at all, but I know that certain ATI drivers (12.2 and 12.3 in particular) were causing the speckling thing. Just a shot in the dark, but if you have an ATI card are you using 12.2 or 12.3? I've read that 12.4 works okay but, personally, I'm still hangin' with 12.1. (If it ain't broke.... kinda thing.)

Georgiegril Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What graphics card is it? How much RAM? Which update? Have you made any changes to your skyrim.ini or pref.ini files? Adjeusted and of the settings via your graphics card software?Skyrim can really tax the GPU, and so even if you are fine with other games, the graphics may be too much for your card, or the way it is configured is not optimal, (or the update is causing issues, as KievKev says...) Also, are you (or were you) running any mods that affect graphics, like ENB, better distant terrain, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly627 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Turns out, that I'm experiencing this problem on ALL of my games, not just Skyrim now. Great. I have an nVidia 250 GTS 1GB graphics card, which has served me very well so far. I have the latest drivers installed.

roxas1785 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 im having this exact issue has anyone found a fix yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurdermiesteR Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I am having the same issue with an amd 3.5 hz 8 core processor, Gtx 970 4 gb, and 10 gb of ram.The issue comes with high textures in my game usually, though sometimes I enter a dungeon with some white textures on medium. I can run the game with 80+ fps in medium textures with enb. I doubt it has anything to do with my hardware and all drivers are up to date. Frustrating.

Kathryyn Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Guess ill take a "shot in the dark" and suggest 2 things that may help or be completely utterly useless. Try tweaking the INI Settings, sometimes it would only use 2gb or 1gb of memory when you have 4gb, well in murdermisterR case 3.5GB :pThis may only work in FNV but since theres an option for it might have some use, Re-active Archive invalidation on NMM.Thats just my "2 cents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
