Black boxes when using Incinerate or Thunderbolt on enemies
Completely vanilla. Only own the anniversary edition. And i like how they still havent fixed that visual bug. Its just plain annoying with A mage only character.

Ahhhh so it isn't just me, thought it was due to my lighting or weather mod..
but seeing as you're experiencing it in vanilla gives me some relief to know it's not my fault.

It very much so is an annoyance to me as well :etgconvict:

Could both of you give your system specs? It sounds somehow it's something with the gpu or drivers.

nah isn't a gpu/driver thing, did some digging and it's apparently a new bug introduced in SE lol
good ol' bethesda...

Because it's hard to reproduce. Sure, they can guess the culprit and see if an "attempt" (so by trial and error) can be done to fix it. Now, try this - as a developer - without harming other players. Personally, I would consider it as something tricky, not worth of the effort. Thus not doing it.

You're not the first I've heard/read about this kind of visual bug. It is indeed something that happens in SSE only because of the particle effects that got added to this game, as part of Special Edition. I did not have experienced it myself. It's a circumstance/driver thing.

not a driver issue. This is a well known bug for vanilla players. The boxes are semi transparent so most don’t notice them.

Stop buying broken products from corrupt companies and maybe they’ll have incentive to make better products…

Bro. you literally have oblivion set as your favorite game. The most broken and buggy at the same side of skyrim.

Well it is probably a gpu/driver combo specific issue .... I mean why else are there lots of people that doesn't have the bug. All I'm saying is that a specific combo will trigger the bug.

Literally not Gpu or driver. i already said this is an old bug when using incinerate or thunderbolt, most commonly when used dueled.

God that a bug is old doesn't mean it can't be triggered by a combination .... I mean something triggers it otherwise EVERYONE would have this issue.

ive literally said its usually when you duel Incinerate or Thunderbolt. Its even on the wiki fraulein. Im just saying its annoying that they never fixed such a weird thing that is annoying to look at.
SpeedFreak1972 Sep 12, 2023 @ 11:17pm 
I'm aware that's it is a bug, but tell me why then that some people have this bug and a lot of us don't?

with that I'm out something triggers the bug that's I'm saying
