HELP! My game is really broken...

[bunnions]

So I have 2 main problems... 
The first one is a black bar over the bottom half of the screen, when looking up it lowers in relation to how far up I look.  ScreenShot2.bmp 

Second problem is the water level rising... Sometimes I am just able to swim in the air, switching quickly between normal walking and swimming. Other times just the very top of the water texture for water will flicker up to about 3 meters above my characters head, and when I can, my character starts swimming here as well anther times the whole world just becomes water like seen in the other image. (This is an image when the water level is not higher, and one where the texture jumped up.) enb 2021_08_02 19_51_43_70.bmp enb 2021_08_02 19_51_45_63.bmp

Please help T-T

Hmm for the screen problem try setting bFloatPointRenderTarget to 1 in your Skyrim prefs.ini located on your Documents. 

Also for the swimming bug I don't know what cause this but try setting your FPS Cap to 60 and also try enabling VSync through Nvidia control panel, see if it works.

• Back up your Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini files (default location C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition)
• In the Steam Library, right-click on your Skyrim game entry, then click Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of Game files. This will confirm and, if necessary, download replacements for any game files that have become corrupt over time. This includes your ini files which is why you needed to back them up first.

Now test to see if the above repairs (and new all-default ini files) fixed your problems. If so, party on.

 

If not, however, do the following:

• Make a new Skyrim profile in Vortex with no mods (if you are not using a mod manager, or if you are using NMM, install Vortex now. Just do it.)
• Now launch Skyrim and start a new game the old-fashioned way starting with a wagon ride into Helgen
• Make a hard save (not a Quick-save or Autosave) when you exit the Helgen cave
• Use console command player.additem f 1000 to give yourself a thousand gold to pay carriage drivers with
• Run to Whiterun Stables and take the carriage to the nearest city to a location where you get water in the middle of the countryside
• Run/sneak to the location(s) where you are currently swimming in midair and see if you are still swimming in midair
• Repeat the above 2 steps for each and every location where you are currently swimming in midair

If, as I suspect, you do not swim in midair any more, then there are 3 likely/possible causes for your issue:

1. You have inappropriate ini entries that you found online somewhere. Install BethINI and use that to more safely tweak your ini files, or better yet, leave them alone.
2. You have corrupt save files. Try Savegame Script Cleaner (or similar name- I've been playing SSE for so long I no longer rmbr the Oldrim cleaner utility names) to try to fix it. Note that savegame cleaners are hit-and-miss, they may or may not fix the problem. You may have to abandon your current playthrough and start a new playthrough, making sure NEVER TO UNINSTALL MODS from a playthrough that you plan to continue.
3. You have severe mod incompatibilities. This could range from simply needing to sort your load order properly (Vortex does this automatically for you) to needing to choose between 2 incompatible mods. You can try running the TESVEdit "Check for Errors" function, but the only sure way is to start over with a new unmodded game and add mods back a few at a time, testing each time. The first 3 you should add are SKSE, SkyUI and Racemenu- this is the foundation for a modded game.

Hey, long time. Been busy and not had much time to try and fix it. Trying now. Hopefully you are still around. I Just verified the integrity and it says "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" I have done it a few times and keeps saying the same thing, even tried restarting Steam and the pc etc, what would you suggest?

Well, crap! That was written 3 months before 11/11/2021, when Bethrogreed started with weekly forced updates to SKSE-incompatible game versions, wrecking everyone's games. Sadly, you are now probably the proud owner of a game version that is incompatible with your mods, and unless you take steps to block Steam updates for SSE, nothing you fix today will stay fixed for long- supposedly-reliable sources have stated that another update is ready to be unleashed on the unwary any day now.

 

I would strongly recommend that you block Steam auto-updates of SSE, then use the Unofficial SSE Downgrade Patcher to revert your game to 1.5.97, then make sure your SKSE64 version is 2.0.17, 2.0.19 or 2.0.20. Then everything should work again.

 

Once everything works again, you might consider backing up your entire SSE folder to a different drive in case Steam decides to circumvent its own settings and update your game again whether you like it or not.

I'm actually using the base version of Skyrim due to there being more mods for it that i like

And it's not been updated since nov 20 2020
