Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this plaid pixel obscuring from my screen? I havent seen this with any other game I tried playing after installing, im positive this is only with Skyrim. I bought it from the local store and I havent even gotten to character creation because I simply cant stand it.

I cant see nearly anything like this, and I've tried restarting the game over 5 times now.

Its really making me annoyed.

Can you tell us what your computer specs are? Mostly the graphics card.

One thing to try is updating your graphics card, as it looks like it could be an issue with this.

Its understandable that I should have included a bit more about the Graphic Card im using.
The graphic card im using is a 'Nvidia GeForce GTS 250', and with it I can run Every released Total War game thus far on highest quality, as well as Oblivion and Starcraft II.

The graphic in Skyrim executes rather well, only that this plaid shaped wall of black lines obscure the view. There's no lag or spike delay whatsoever. The Computer im using was homebuilt and approximately 3 years old, and this obscured view only occured with Skyrim that I bought this same day.

Thanks for the information.

One thing I would possibly check is the heat of the graphics card when Skyrim is being run, as artifacts can be caused by overheating. Other than that I am not too sure, as your computer should be able to run it fine at decent settings.

I don't know if your problem's been fixed yet, but whatever...

Well, as Undead said and I don't know if you've tried yet but, update your graphics card drivers.

Also, you could try this mod: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=123

On other forums it seems like it's a Nvidia-centered problem. I suggest that if the latest drivers don't work, to wait for a next update if nothing works for you.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
