LargeStyle Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Perhaps backup then delete your Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files, launch the game, re-set your settings and try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkjoldBjorn Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 In the CK have you checked the Render window properties -> Shaders then check the box under "Debug" that says #of lights.How many objects are purple or red? To many lightsources hitting the same object can create a lot of artifacts, and those artifacts beeing lights just not emitting on to objects around them because there are so many lights trying the same. How you explain that they turn on and off depending on your position sounds a lot like this. All objects in a lighted space should be no more than blue/purple, dark blue is the one that is really the max if you don't want to risk artifacts, purple is where you start getting them and bright red is more or less a certain chance of this happening. I hate this limitation, but you can get around it by trying to increase the radius of lights and their brightness. I find that using shadow casters with normal lights in a mix can get you good results, also spot lights can do a lot of good things :) I also know that some lights after a patch a while back got fubared, like they will turn themselves off completely and slowly turn themself on. Though i have not see this in interior cells, only exterior worldspace and especially Dawnguard worldspaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
