Dcramer710 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 To begin, I have plenty of mods installed (2K textures, SMIM, ProjectFlora, and Climates of Tamriel to name a few) and as you can (hopefully) see by the image I attached, I am having a huge issue with Dragonsreach and Whiterun disappearing as I walk away. If I want it to reappear I have to walk really close to the city wall and it will eventually pop in. This problem is now spreading to other buildings as well such as the watch tower south of Whiterun. I have set my Ugrids to 7 and that didn't help. I tried deleting my Skyrimprefs ini and letting the game reset that file for me and the issue still persists. I have all the faders maxed out with the game on ultra quality as well. I uninstalled my mods and it was still an issue. I uninstalled skyrim and re-installed it and it was still an issue. I then reactivated my mods and placed them in a new load order and I still have the issue. I have seen a few posts about this issue dating back to January and they didn't seem to be solved. I have exhausted all options that I can think of and was hoping you all could help.

acidzebra Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I uninstalled skyrim and re-installed it and it was still an issue. Did you remove any remaining folders after uninstalling? Because if there were some changes made/files added, the uninstall wouldn't have touched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an ENB installed and the only files I saw that were still in the Skyrim Folder were from the ENB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Odd, normally the LOD files for tamriel are read from skyrim-meshes.bsa and skyrim-textures.bsaAfter reinstalling, did you continue with your same save or did you start fresh? Does the issue happen with a fresh game?(just start the game, at the title screen open the console and coc whiterun - is LOD working properly now?) If yes, there's something borked in your savegame. If not, let's try a workaround hack Try grabbing a copy of bsa browser.http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1395 From skyrim-meshes.bsa select and extract (action > extract) - tamriel.lod from path LODsettings- everything in path meshes\lod From skyrim-textures.bsa select and extract- everything in path textures\LOD- tamriel.objects.dds and tamriel.objects_n.DDS from path \textures\terrain\tamriel\objects After this you should see a folder \lodsettings and \meshes\lod\xxx and \textures\terrain\lod\xxx in your data folder. Launch the game again, see if this fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcramer710 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I did try starting a new file and the problem persisted. I'm going to try the workaround hack tomorrow and see if it works. I'll let you know if it does! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an ENB installed and the only files I saw that were still in the Skyrim Folder were from the ENB. I'm trying to use the BSA manager but since I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to this modding stuff (just got skyrim a week ago) I have no idea how to use this utility. How exactly do get the bsa's to show up in the program. I tried opening bsa's but the program just kind of sits there and does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidzebra Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 They're huge files, be patient :) From the program > File > Open > point to BSA > make some coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aevar799 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 it looks like your LOD object draw distance is set really low, but if you fixed it, meh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
