Skyrim Texture Glitch

snedie · 21 Apr 2012 at 17:53

Tried to start the Skyrim campaign again today, and was greeted with a nice texture glitch. Not sure if it's to do with shadows or smoke/clouds (or both), you can see it the the following screen shot:

Also just to note this only occurs in this game so this isn't a hardware issue that I know of. All settings are on ultra high (max), game play is smooth as butter.

Any ideas?

I had this problem ,I think you need to turn off antialiasing and turn on fxaa in the advanced graphics options. Hope this helps

Are you using the latest GPU driver? i had this problem a while back and it twas the drivers causing the problem so prob need update them

Latest drivers and CAP. Will give the AA trick a go see what happens thanks guys.

[edit]

Didn't work

Will experiment with various settings and see if I can find the culprit, no doubt it is the AMD drivers though

I had this problem with the 12.2 drivers, but it was fixed in 12.3....

when i got the glitch i tried the extremeG moded drivers and got rid of the glitch and skyrim ran a bit smoother so was a double bonus lol, maybe give the lates extremeG drivers a go

Seems to be the reverse for me, when on 12.2 I didn't have this issue (I did have stuttering issues however) and since my latest format (I do this every month) I have switched onto 12.3.

There are only two things to do then:

1. Turn Anti-Aliasing off.
2. Try the 12.4 betas or an earlier driver..

It's an AMD driver bug as people have said. You can try an updated driver or play with different anti-aliasing settings until you find one that works.

Sorry I've been busy running circles around the children in one of my other threads, I mean really how stupid are some people

I'll try get onto those drivers some point tomorrow and give them a whirl

Had the exact same issue, you've got an ATI/AMD card right?
Backdate the drivers and bobs your dad.
