Skyrim Graphics Display Bug

[Captain Daddy]

I've been playing skyrim on my PC since the release of the game, my computer can run it fine on Ultra settings, but High is the default. I've ran it with 50+ mods without any mod support programms and its been just fine, until now, i haven't played it for a while it started doing this.

The white fog will just rapidly flicker depending in which direction you are looking, it mainly happens with fog, around water, fire or smoke ect
Sometimes it flickers black shadows in rocks, and a flickering line across my screen in cetain places, colours either purple, black, white, black or browny red and black.. it gets so annoying it can't be ignored..
They isn't any lag in-game at all.. and i've completly removed skyrim from my computer, even steam cloud saves.. Then i resorted to think it was steam, so i re-installed steam and nothing helped.
I would really appreciate any help or advice given, i've tried so many things to help this to stop..
I know it can't be corrupt.. so it must me some issue involving Skyrim..
Please help..

Skyrim has many known issues such as this..Maybe its some mods conflicting with each other...i recommend running Skyrim on Windows 7..but more importantly: check the mod's you installed..maybe it conflicts with one another..if it didint help try running the game on Medium settings or Lowering the Texture..Hope this Helps

That has got to be a mod conflict. Disable all your mods. If you have already done that plus a fresh install, then the question is; Did you delete everything left in the Skyrim folder after you uninstalled the game? When you delete local content uninstalling the game, it only removes the Skyrim game files and Not any mod files you have. Plus, if you use Skyrim Workshop mods and didn't unsubscribe to them before re-installing the game, the mods auto download as soon as you hit play in the Steam launcher. Point is that you may need to Uninstall the game again, unsubscribe to any Workshop mods and delete all remaining files in your Skyrim folder before re-installing.

Make sure to Favorite the Workshop mods you want to re-add, to make them easy to find.

As i said, every little detail was deleted of skyrim, including all mods.. this is why its so frustrating, because i've tried so many things and it still wont work..
I even deleted everything corrasponding to SteamID: 72850
I don't know what else to do.. :(

Have you tried to clean install new GPU drivers?

Or - try to turn off Skyrim's AA out of boredom seeing that there's an old thread about fog issues regarding AA -settings. (Which to me doesn't make much sense, but shoot.)

Ok, I found this thread; http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2378504-fog-light-and-texture-flickering/

It seems to be a known issue with AMD cards. The fix is to revert back to the last drivers you had when the game worked fine. Hope it helps.

*Even if you have an nvidia card, you might still want to re-install an older set of Drivers.

Makes sense, my card is AMD, what if i dont have a restore point for my driver?
Plus, i don't want anything becoming "out of place"

That's why you should perform a clean install, to prevent things from going 'out of place'.

The Roll Back failed i think, Blue screen game up and i had to restore my system.
See how frustrating this is? I can't play Skyrim and now i've lost quite a few online saves..
Is it possible that this texture bug can get fixed in a driver update? The same way it was created?

It is, given that it comes to the driver manufacturer's attention and it likely will be.

Is they a way to notify them to speed it up? Litterally this thread is in the shadows, thats why i made one.
Can someone notify them for me?

I had this issue on my HD3870, I somewhere found a patch on google/youtube which made the game think I had a 8800Nvidea card, this completely removed ALL of my graphical bugs in the game.

However, recently I received a HD5770 and yes sweet mother of god, the graphical bugs are back!

I just tried to play the game and it didnt work so I havent found the solution back but Ill do my best to post it here when I got it working again.

Ah, it annoys me so much that they just suddenly have to "break" something in updates..
thanks man
