i think my shadows or something are broken.

[swiftaloe]

figured i would post this here since i get more help on lovers lab than any other skyrim community.

 

i noticed that within like a couple feet of my character there are these weird black lines on all the textures except npc's, is it my computer or is there a fix for this?. also when i get closer they go away but as soon as they are a few feet away they pop back in.

 

i took a screen shot of it.

if i left out anything you need to know just ask.

Ah, that is the infamous stripey shadows bug. There is a (supposed) fix for that on nexus (HERE), however that never really worked for me. My Skyrim is still "zebrafied"

[EdinMG]

That's the famous and disgusting shadow striping, there are a few mods that fixes this problem. I got those ugly things completely eradicated from my game, thanks to Realistic Lighting Overhaul !!!

[swiftaloe]

oh wow, thanks alot. its gone now. now the only thing i have left to fix is my fps drop/stutter.

Try to disable in game anti aliasing and see if it fixes. If it does try using ENB or video card settings to add AA back.

[swiftaloe]

ya it seems turning off AA fixed it but even with my video card using AA it happens. well its ok, if anyone can tell my a way to stop this stutter that would be great to. when im moving or standing still every 20-30 seconds it stutters, or lags for a brief second. im running 45-60 fps open world and i don't know what i have in towns haven't checked.

any type of ENB is only suitable for high-performance computers, I do not use it, thus I lose 15-20 fps.

 

Maybe this is interesting for you.

You should also find this fix at the wiki or even in any decent INI guide.

 

That should take care of that for you no mod required

but you forgot one very important point!

these INI settings only work with vanilla, if you improve the "skyrim world" by mods, then can arise even graphic error.

[swiftaloe]

i thank you all for the help so far, but it seems that none of these things work for me, while it helps i still get the hard lag spikes and fps drops while in towns,city and inns. i'm still only at whiterun so i don't know what the lag is like in other parts of the map. but in and around the outside of whiterun i lag every time i look to the town and i lag/get fps drop in riverwood. i have been all over google but i'm not finding anything that seems to work for me so if you have anymore suggestions i would be glad to hear them.
