As title states, when something takes fire damage I see black, blocky textures.

Everything else is running flawlessly. I have good FPS, have played around 50 hours and had one crash only.

I've googled and searched the forum, but haven't found an answer. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I have a new HP notebook, windows 7, ATI card.

Try using the ENB Series patch.

Ah, thank you for the links. This has increased my performance quite a bit. However, I'm still getting the blocky textures with fire spells. I've searched the comments and description at nexus, but I can't seem to find out if there's another fix for this.

Can anybody else confirm that the ENB patch is supposed to fix this? I've read through all the comments and documentation and can't seem to find a fix for this. Any other ideas?
