there are some tron texture issues with the beta patch till rolled back to Catalyst 12.2 anti aliasing however is not causing blocky graphics to appear like it was

i shall wait for Catalyst 1.24 full version

Have Bethesda commented on the breaking of ambient occlusion for nvidia cards since 1,5?

Speaking of broken things, has anyone else been having an issue with the backwards swimming animation being wrong? I don't remember the backwards swimming animation being a reversed copy of the forward swimming animation before.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "very stable load order" that consists of 50 mods this close to the release date of an update. That's a lot of mods that potentially will need to be updated to be compatible with the update.


If you're determined to reinstall, make sure you delete your INI files. They are not removed as part of the uninstall/reinstall process. Games that won't load, however, are more likely due to mods. I don't use very many mods, and I am not having such problems.

I've also noticed I can't see anything underwater...

Hi, nope, since this update my saves increase to 10mo 15mo to 98mo, game freeze every 2 minutes for 5 seconds... impossible to play. I have more than 400saves, but put in garbage 399 saves, just keep 1. Some log of bethesda give a lot of quest error, so many... (charac lvl60, all quests did, more than 200h playing)
I don't know what this fix is supposed to fix... ctd ? never have before, but to fix a save ctd do a freeze game now.

Running 1.5 well enough here, though while I never had any CTDs before I now have one every other day or so. Frame rate is just as good as before. I am however disappointed with the black grass beneath trees, no detail. It looks all wrong. These shadow changes are ridiculous. Otherwise pretty damn good.

Just one simple mod, no texture changers.

Are you using ENB?

Yes, together with FXAA. Are you saying this somehow causes a problem with 1.5?

Yes. It turns your underwater views into pea soup. Not sure if there's a fix outside of removing ENB altogether; B1gBadDaddy might know better.

Try this fix, see if it helps.

I'm getting a slightly annoying hitch when i turn and look at an NPC, They do a brief skip then settle back down & it's only happened since 1.5, Mods removed & tested on fresh installs.(AMD 11.11c/12.1/12.2 previews/12.3 tested)
All NPC's, Even the horses do a little dance when i turn the mouse to look at them, I turn away & look back & they do a little skip again.

It's not gamebreaking, It just puzzles me as 1.4 & all previous incarnations never displayed this issue, I'm positive it's physics/animations related & is the only questionable issue i have suffered in Skyrim.

It's more off-putting than problematic.

Limited to 58 fps using Afterburner.

Yes! I can see! Though now it's all blurry, is that part of the 1.5 patch?
