zertos123 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 in game my health bar and enemy health bars don't go down and when there dead the bars just disappear plus my stamina bar move to the right of the screen when i'm sprinting. I've tried googling the problem with no luck has anyone else had this and fixed the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septfox Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'm going to guess that you both have an ATI video card and have recently upgraded to the 12.7 beta drivers. Two solutions:Downgrade to 12.6 drivers and never worry about it again.or...Change iShadowMapResolution in SkyrimPrefs.ini from 4096 to something higher or lower, since having it that resolution is what causes the bug to appear. Likely there's other minor bugs floating around as well though, they're beta drivers after all. Downgrading to 12.6 is preferable, 12.7 doesn't perform as well at this point anyway.

I know a lot of people are having issues with 12.7 so I agree with your advice that this is probably the issue, but they do perform better for a lot of us. It's not as big a jump as they claim (25%) but they've put 6-8fps on my minimum frame rates, without issue so far. Thread here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread here.Mm, you're right, I shouldn't have assumed that what was true for me was true for others as well. I have an old 5870, and I lose 2-3fps with the 12.7 drivers, so they've obviously gone and messed something up despite not even addressing my series of cards...but if the net effect for cards they DID tweak for is +6-8fps, well then, by all means use them. Not being able to use mid-range (4096) shadows resolution would be annoying to me, but I suppose for those who already use higher or lower and a 7-series card, there's really no downside. Plus the bug doesn't seem to be affected everyone, so...eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, it's AMD, so expect the unexpected! http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Sometimes I honestly think with AMD if we got two identical machines and ran 2 identical Skyrim setups on them, we'd get different results on both. Since I made the posts in that thread I linked I have noticed that my tcl console command only works about 10% of the time now, which is weird but no biggy. But yeah, either way, the driver upgrade is probably what's causing the OP's issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zertos123 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 i do have a amd machine with a 7 series GPU, i did downgrade the driver from 12.7 to 12.6 which didn't fix the problem so i'll try the other option that was given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeworlder1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Tried both options, didn't fix it, it's weird, because before i reformatted my computer, everything worked fine, even with the 12.7 drivers. Now, after i reformatted, i even used the same files because i kept a backup, and this happens. So it could be a driver or software related issue.

homeworlder1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Apparently, the fix for me was to disable all mods, run a new game without mods, and then enable all mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
