Saratje Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) If you are suffering from the yellow-flickering or shaky menu problem, try the following. This quick-fix will stop the flickering and CTD's for you with the new 1.6 patch. Some thanks go to the Bethesda forum, where some people came up with this solution. I made an image-based guide of their solution, to make it easier for all of you to fix the problem. Step 1 - Open the Skyrim Launcher and click on OPTIONS. http://i.imgur.com/bhWiw.jpg Step 2 - Click on the white bar behind the text Antialiasing and change this to Off (best performance). http://i.imgur.com/uyL5B.jpg (OPTIONAL)Take steps 3 and 4 only if your ingame menu still looks strange, or when you just wish to be sure your menu will look the way it should. Otherwise, go to step 5. Step 3 - Now click on the button that says Advanced. Step 4 - In the advanced menu, make sure the box that says FXAA is ticked. If it is not yet ticked, tick it now.http://i.imgur.com/nSdiu.jpg Step 5 - Go back to the Skyrim Launcher and click PLAY. The yellow flickering should be gone from the ingame menu. http://i.imgur.com/dIhRe.jpg NOTE: This is a temporary solution. Turning on FXAA and/or turning off anti-aliasing will change how your game looks on your screen. Keep an eye out for new patches that will fix this bug, so that you can return to your preferred video settings.

edclist Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I just started experiencing this immediately after the update. As soon as it was done I updated SKSE then reinstalled the SKSE for Steam mod (renamed necessary files). So far it has only happened at the fireplace inside the inn at winterhall, near the columns of light in front of the mages college and when I have a torch in hand AND.... it only happens in first person. If I switch to 3rd (which I hate) it stops. Gonna try your fix and see if it works for me. I hope so. Just thought I'd add my experience to this thread. UPDATE: It worked. Thank you. I wonder if it's an ATI thing. I have a 5800 Edited June 12, 2012 by edclist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstriker60 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thank you, thank you, thank you! This also happened to me immediately after the update and was driving me crazy. I'm working on a mod so I've been going in and out of the game a lot and kept reloading inside Breezehome to check how my retextured weapons were looking, and the fire in the main room was blinding. At first I thought maybe I'd screwed something up, but deactivating all mods made no difference so I came to the Nexus to try to verify it was due to the update. Very glad I found your post. Your fix worked just turning the anti-aliasing off and not messing with the FXAA. Much obliged! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saratje Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Glad it works. Added the FXAA suggestion as optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirilov13 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thank you for this! Flicker was ruining game play for a while. Tried the anti-alias thing and it worked! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legofreak64 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This works. The only problem is that this made skyrin a lot slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDKGunner Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I know this is old but is there a way to fix it without disabling AA and without updating the graphics drivers? as i want AA active and updating my graphics drivers removed MOST of the options from my AMD CCC :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
