Special Graphics Slow

[Eeben]

This problem has reoccurred during any campaign. I will be performing some action in which a graphic animation will be occurring and suddenly all special graphic features will change. Observing fires that use to be viberantly flickering will become static (not flickering any more) and spell casting will proceed as usual however the color display showing spell activitywill be very slow. Fire spells will leave a residue of a flaming ball where they hit for a period of time (unusually long period of time).

 

If you have seen this (anyone) you will know exactly what I mean. I can go back to a previous save

and the problem will not occur until again later in the game it will happen again at some point.

Its three steps forward and one step back all through the campaign.

 

Have you seen this and is there a fix? :thanks:

Check your computer temp when this happens. You might be having overheating problems. Make sure there is not only enough cooling but a good space around the box, particularly the venting.

 

Also, I'm sure you've updated all of your hardware drivers, right? ;)

Oh, and maybe it can be........ A-Bomb, if there're no other problems.

I'm guessing you have been playing with the same character for a very long time? You've got a couple mods and are ridiculously powerful? You have caught the item id bug, that's what is causing special effects to freeze and hang in mid-air.

 

Use this to fix it: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5127 It's not a mod so read the instructions carefully and make a copy of your savegame file before you start. Fix it soon or your save will corrupt.
