KingDanasty Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 An old computer of mine used to run skyrim on windows xp pretty much fine except for lag in combat intense areas.Reformatted it to windows 7 32bit, same mods and same settings, and for some reason objects in dungeons go missing with the only other case being dragon bodies (the skeleton they leave behind). Im hoping i dont have to reformat back to windows xp just to get it working correctly again so instead i thought id ask here. - Typical scenario: I find object on the table, object flickers once or twice, as i interact with the object (kicking it around, moving it, etc) the flickering increases, object eventually stays transparent.- I found posts saying that this is a problem for anti aliasing (ati) but my card is nvidia and ive disabled anti aliasing there and in skyrimprefs.- This occurs with objects in dungeons like books, draugr tools, pots and pans, junk like that.- This only happened outside of dungeons when fighting dragons, when they die and turn to skeletons, that skeleton turns transparent after a flicker. By flicker i mean the object literally goes from there to completely invisible but still there as i can still target it. Ive noticed a semi bright light on the flicker as if they get really bright then turn invisible then back to normal. It could just be me seeing things as it happens quickly not sure. Im hoping its just windows 7 uses more ram than windows xp, and if thats the case then ive already ordered ram. windows 72.5 GB rampentium 4 3.80 GHznvidia geforce 8600 gt yes yes i know its old, its an extra computer and it did run skyrim previously on a windows xp install so it DID run. Also i did test it out with no mods / default ini's and a clean data folder, same effect so i dont think its mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait833 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Well, if you haven't changed anything between XP and 7, do you run it through Steam and is it fully updated? Have you verified the file cache? Do you have the latest graphics drivers? The more info you give beforehand, the more help we can give you. ;) Edited January 2, 2013 by Cait833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you reformat you pretty much need to download everything all over again like my video card drivers (otherwise i cant use it) and steam + skyrim. Thought it wouldve been obvious my bad.
