I have the same problem from relese day!Leather,iron and sometimes steel equipment for the most part!Two days ago it was entire soil was textureless for about 5 minutes or so!And every time i enter the dragonsreach,the pillars are not loading texturess for about 1 or 2 seconds!As for the FXAA that Daddy Gemini mentioned,its horible and would be nice as an option to turn it off!

Yeah, one of the dirt textures did it to me a few times, but for me it usually never loads. At least two times I can remember I continued playing for a couple hours, and every time I looked down if I was around that texture it was like walking on a blurry mess. For me it seems the most textures that do this are leather and fur armor, and almost all the pine tree branches and bark textures.... makes the trees look hideous sometimes and sometimes they look a little better. I say a little better because the trees kind of svck bad in this game. Not only are the meshes and textures for the "distance" tree renderings completely ugly and overly simple, but did you know the PS3 version is the only one where the trees actually have LESS BRANCHES? Beth took them out of some of the tree meshes to allieviate lag. There are screens that show this to be true, (not that they simplified trees for lag that's just what I think the reason is), that there are screens that show the branches not being there on the same trees on different consoles. UGLY! I mean have you seen how beautiful the trees look even in the distance on the 360? Crazy! They care less and less about the PS3 fans, even going as far as lying to all of us to svcker us in to buying this game since they often hastily port their RPGs and the PS3 has always got the shorter end of the stick when Beth is the one doing the porting. Thanks!

Off topic... even further I mean --> I'm so sick of this snow lol.... I want the green of Oblivion with the BETTER LOOKING TREES back! I hope someday I get this game on PC and some mods have removed a lot of snow, made it snow less, and completely redone the trees from the ground up. The fans know though, Bethesda has a weird relationship with trees. I thought they were finally on to something with Oblivion, but now these horrible pines with their horrible meshes, blurry textures, and missing branches are really starting to bug me. Or maybe it's just the fact most the time they look worse than they already do because of this texture loading bug that keeps happening to MY pines. Okay, rant over.

That was quite a rant there.

Not to start the whole pc vs console war, but first chance you have, get the game on pc. It's remarkable. I was thinking of getting it on my PS3 too which is why I've been reading these boards to see if issues have been fixed.

No war to be fought here. Everyone knows the PC version is superior in every way except for default controls (keyboard). I wish I could get it on my Mac because it's my good comp my other 2 are laptops. I thought about installing Windows on it but decided not to.

Its the trees for me, those trees look like there from the n64 era. Those dam trees xD

Me too, the trees almost always never fully load their textures, and they look horrible from even a slight distance. Did you know for the PS3 version they took out many branches for different trees to alleviate lag?

I haven't noticed it with the trees but then again, I didn't really notice/or pay attention to, the shadows that much either. That is until you pointed it out, now every time I talk to an NPC I find myself looking at the shadows move in jumpy increments. (Yeah, thanks for that by the way) Now you are gonna have me walking around looking at the (insert favorite curseword here) trees too.

I have noticed it with the "dirt" not fully loading so I was walking on some kind of smooth blurry brown-y stuff with a rock poking out of it here and there with just the tips of the grass showing. lol, the grass was animated (to show the effects of wind I guess?) and the tips if the grass would pop out of the ground and be visible than dissappear, then come back, etc. (maybe the grass appeared "one level" down so it was under the dirt instead of on top of it? Kind of like when an NPC pops in buried up to thier waist.) However, I turned my character around so my back was to the blurry stuff, waited for a bit (lol, watched the shadows "jump" twice on the ground so I knew time was passing), and when I turned back around the ground popped in around me in full detail. Well, as full as it can get in PS3 Skyrim.

When an armor piece in my inventory shows up blurry, and it does always seem to be leather and/or fur, I can almost always get it to change to "full res". Like my leather helmet was blurry when I looked at it in my inventory screen. Going in and out of inventory did nothing, unequip, equip, etc., nothing seemed to be working. So I got mad and while it was equipped I dropped it. (I like to think my character took it off and threw it down). Funny, when I picked it back up and equipped it, it was full res on my head - and - in my inventory. I've done that with clothes, armor, etc., it always seems to work for me.

Your prolly not going to like this part. Blurry/not fully loading didn't happen all that often. Only once or maybe twice during a gaming session. And since I've upgraded my HD to a Corsair Force Series GT (CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5") 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) for about $170, I've only had it happen once since I've installed the new drive drive. The game screens and stuff in the XMB load a little bit faster (that was expected) and the game does seem to run better. NOTE: I did not state that the graphics were actually different, just that it seemed to help with stuff like pop in and the game seems to be running more smoothly. I don't know if it will help stutter/lag issues or not in the long run. But as of right now, the game runs excellent. I did start a new game when I got the new drive though (I didn't bring anything over from the old drive, I figured that I've still got it if I need anything off of it so why bother).

Now I know, I shouldn't have to buy new hardware to "help" Skyrim along, but I wanted a new drive for a while now, that and I got my PS3 pretty close to the release date when they came out. My girlfriend, now my wife, had bought me the PS3 for an X-Mas/B-Day present. (Yeah, that happens a lot, my b-day is two days after x-mas) So I figured it was about time anyway and my small factory HD was filling up.
