mothergoose729 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with skyrim. When I move the camera in first person view, on both the mouse and my gamepad (although it is worse on my gamepad) it isn't smooth. I have monitored my graphics card and CPU and memory usage while playing and they just aren't an issue. I am using about 462mb of my 1gb of VRAM, about 3.5 gb of my 8gb of memory, and none of my CPU cores are being taxed above about 70% at any one time. My FPS hovers between 35-50 in the area I have been testing. When I switched to third person view, I don't notice any problems. Everything is very smooth. However in first person view I do notice the problem, and I don't know if it is just more noticeable in some area or actually gets worse, but when I am walking in the tundra west of whiterun is when I notice it the most. I have tried enabling and disabling mouse acceleration and I haven't noticed a difference. I have several ini tweaks for first person and third person cameras but I don't think that should make a difference, as well as mod that effects the first person view (the height anyway). Could one of those be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjornheim Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Have you tried increasing FoV? (Field of view) , useally people choose to increase it to about 80-90 , simply in-game bring up console, type FoV 85, or FoV 90. Makes your field of view bigger, 90 is realistic, but it makes swords and weapons in first person look like they are being stretched infront of you a little bit, I play at 80-85. Sometimes 80 sometimes 85. Edited November 8, 2012 by Bjornheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergoose729 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 It helped a tiny bit but the problem is definitely still there. It is the most frustrating thing in the world... my third camera pan is just fine but my first person cam isn't. Doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey6688 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 If you're an ATI user, go to http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/827372-fix-for-ati-users-stutteringskipping-frames-in-first-person/ and see if it helps. I came up with it after doing some research, and it's solved the problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergoose729 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Trying it now. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergoose729 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 I think it helped some but the problem is definitely still there. There is a spot just west of white run, where there is like 5 trees and a bush on a hill, where the problem is most noticeable. No matter what I get stutterness there. If I circle the trees for a few minutes the effect lessens but it is still there :/. I think my performance overall increase a bit but definitely not by much.

steve40 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Try adding these lines to your Skyrim.ini. It fixed this issue for me, but note that it can make the lag worse on some systems: [Papyrus] fUpdateBudgetMS=800 fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800 fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000 iMinMemoryPageSize=256 iMaxMemoryPageSize=512 iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
