Underwater a pain for AMD users with DoF? : V

» Thu May 31, 2012 6:08 am

ok my probelm was this at first http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198037696072/screenshot/578951332433479822
underwater there was no detail whats so ever and it was a sickly green. Ive been reading from posters on forums but was wondering if its a "AMD" problem only?

go into Skyrim ini files in ur documents folder and change the DoF to 0 and u will get this

works great, but i have DoF now. I can deal with ti atm, but was wondering if anyoen knows the cause of this? i knwo not every user is experiencing it but wondering if we figure out if its AMD?

specs are
AMd phenom II X6 1090T
AMD HD6970 2g
8g ram
Wins 7 64bit

I'm pretty sure my CPU/graphics is Intel i7, and I have this issue. I would rather not just completely get rid of water opacity though.

I get the green water when d3d9.dll from ENB is present in my install folder, if I remove it, my water returns to how it should be.

AMD 6970 here, on Catalyst 12.1 officials...my underwater scenes looked http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/504641629020911897/969AB25B76CA6422C3FCC31E6A21E096C9FA4345/ (not to mention very pretty) right off the bat. Everything's murky, but still clear enough that I can see things. It's not pea soup, in other words. DoF in SkyrimPrefs.ini is set to 1, which IIRC is the default.

I don't use ENB or any other sort of shader mod.

mmmm dangit, i use d3d9.dll file so i can have darker nights and settings.

how in the world did they get both the great underwater quality and night time shader with interiors being dark without light sourse in morrowind? mmmm

I think i'm running older 11.x drivers because the 12's gave me issues and I just haven't updated.

I tried to roll back to 11.12 but it didnt work for some reason, it keeps saying its 12.1

I'm using the 12.1 drivers on my 6770 and getting decent underwater screens as above.
