Unexplainable water glitch? [IMAGE]
http://imgur.com/1OlFKB9
The game was working fine until I left the House of Horrors.I have v-sync turned off, I installed a ReShade and ENB earlier but uninstalled them since, the only mod running now is the Unofficial Patch (which I turned off earlier to see if it would fix), I've tried validating files. Any idea? I feel like it had to do with the ENB/ReShade install fucing up my game but not sure.

Lazy Remaster. There's no sugar coating it.

Disable ENBs/reshades.

Also check out your GPU software's anti-aliasing method (esp if over-ridden). Adaptive can really screw with layers.

I'll go through the files again to see if I forgot any ENB/ReShade files but they should all be gone from when I uninstalled it earlier. And good info to know about adaptive, will check/change.

No prob, I remember when I first played skyrim (years ago) with adaptive on (I was experimenting back then). The moss layer would, depending on the view angle, cover the entire rock surface.

Water in White Run, if looked at a certain angle, would go completely dark flowing blue (no transparency), like some of the water on your image.

In Sonic Generations the entire HUD, including all menus, would become invisible.

Random stupid things like that made me abandon overriding any graphical settings using GPU driver software. I also set to "On", never "nvidia/AMD optimised" and off. Anti-aliasing always set to multisampling.

Anytime you play with mods you take a chance. Specially if your changing things like graphics. I have over 250 mods on FO4 so I should know. Sometimes just taking the mod out or disabling it doesn't fix the problem. And validating the files isn't a big help most of the time I found out. Sometimes you just have to reinstall the game. BUT before you do that try starting a new game. It may be a curpt save.
I don't make mods but it just my thought the the mods in the begining for Skyrim SE might be a little unstable because they are just being updated for SE using the old mod for Skyrim. Things might be missed that cause it to have problrems.

Thanks for the insight! I'll try starting a completely new game before the dreaded "reinstall" option, I tried an earlier save that was modless but that was bust so fingers crossed. :(

UPDATE: Tried everything above me, completely uninstalled and reinstalled, still no dice. O well.
:(

I recently ran into the same exact issue and it was after leaving the house of horrors as well. Up until that point in time the water had been fine, so maybe it was something with the screen effects during the quest that caused it. I tried reloading a few times and this time I tried turning off anti-aliasing in the launcher of the game and it fixed the problem for me.

It's a known bug.

Restart the game.
Then, do "coc whiterun" or load a savegame in an exterior before loading your savegame.

It should solve the bug.

Not sure if this will help you or not. I had this exact same issue. Reloading a game did not work for me (this issue must have happened long ago and I didn't notice, so I didn't have a recent save that worked) I'm using a Radeon video card (R9 360). I quit the game, turned Antialiasing off in the game options, started up the game again, and the water had cleared up. I saved my game and quit, then turned antialiasing back on (to highest quality) and now everything appears to be working correctly again.

I still suggest everyone checks their driver software. Both Crimson and Nvidia's Anti-Aliasing optioons can mess with many games, especially if it is "Super" "Adaptive" and/or "Override".
