pondcypress Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 And how to possibly fix it? It's been happening on and off for a long time now, and only when I look straight down, I get this odd semi transparent rectangular object.I'm wondering if it's a goofed ENB setting or possibly an ini setting that went out of whack, or tweaked too far.It's completely random when it shows up, and it will show up anywhere, day, night, indoor and out. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy287/pondcypress/weirdbug.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fms1 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Is this an object without color, or is this exactly what you see when this occurs always? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondcypress Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Is this an object without color, or is this exactly what you see when this occurs always? It's exactly what I see. When I move the camera straight down, it slides into the center of my view.The only way to make it go away is exit the game completely, then restart. But it always manages to come back, sometimes not for a while, sometimes right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modsrkool Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Do you have a mod dealing with ground textures? I'm no expert but It could be a problem with a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarharien Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Do you have a mod dealing with ground textures? I'm no expert but It could be a problem with a mod. Kinda looks like your own personal "marshmallow" snack perpetually at the ready ;) But seriously, yeah, I'd agree that it looks to be either the result of an artifact "beneath" you that's covering ground textures... OR, is it an artifact on some clothing/weapon that you're carrying, and you're seeing part of it "stick" into view? I remember playing around with one of the Witcher2 clothing mods, and depending on my FOV setting, sometimes I'd suddenly see the wolfhead necklace pop into view at the bottom of my screen during certain animations. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondcypress Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Do you have a mod dealing with ground textures? I'm no expert but It could be a problem with a mod. Yes, but this happens indoors, outdoors, in dungeons, etc.I don't have a single mod that covers all ground textures, separate tex mod for outdoor terrain, separate for dungeons, interiors etc. I'm just asking and posting the photo hoping someone may have encountered this, it's a long shot but it would help me pinpoint if it is a mod, an enb setting etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadWizard25 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Could you post your installed mods? Not the list of .esp plugins, but a list of all mod you have downloaded and installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondcypress Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Could you post your installed mods? Not the list of .esp plugins, but a list of all mod you have downloaded and installed. I tracked it down. It was this mod, http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17130 They refer to it as a lightboard. Sad really because besides that awful effect it worked really well. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) It could be a memory low indicator, especially if you have it happen randomly. do a system restart and shut off everything from your start-up you don't need. Shut down fraps or firefox, or media player, itunes, office loaders, adobe garbage, system monitors and the like. All this uneeded garbage gets dumped to apage file when your memory STARTS to get near capacity. The item rendered could get a hick-up if your extremely slow hard drive is taking valuable bandwidth across your bus, not to mention CPU as even more memory is used as it executes. If you're running offline, unplug the RJ-45 plug from your NIC card and then turn off your antivirus, spyware and any other wear-wares you have running. Then start your game and see what you get. Normally with memory (or a bad driver), you'd get some extreme pixelation/a lock-ups, heavy stutter/latency or the like. Its hard to say what that "marshmellow" is without completely isolating every game parameter and hardware function being called by your game/CMOS / OS. EDIT : there ya go. don't need to go through all that garbage i posted above. glad you got it back working :o) Edited July 27, 2012 by Brandy_123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
