tfol94 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 started playing skyrim again today after a break from it, and these green triangle things (I can't really find another way of describing them) appear whenever I'm outside, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it hasn't made a difference, I've even tried downloading it again. It was fine before but since starting again there's been a problem. Any help would be much appreciated! I've updated it to the most recent version too. There are some screenshots http://imgur.com/ZZAJ37q,Lch5tHc,OFe3dFz,8sbiBEH,mCaFASr,GYu0b2b#0 Thanks :) Aplogies for posting this twice I didn't realise there was a technical help forum!

makavely91 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It's called "artifacting", and while there are many things that can cause it, it's most often the first symptom of a dying video card. Especially in your case, since you said you've already performed an uninstall/reinstall. I'm assuming you tried a clean (no mod) install as well? If you still get the artifacting issue with just vanilla Skyrim, you most likely need to hit up newegg or tigerdirect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Before dropping a wad of cash on a new card, check the temperatures. If you are running hot on your video card, it can just be a build up of dust in the fan and air channels of the card . Here is some spring cleaning advice. http://s1.zetaboards.com/bbenlibrary/topic/3396114/1/#new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Also, after cleaning, you might want to try updating or reinstalling your graphics drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
