Actually, I think I fixed it. When I accessed the ENB Menu via SHIFT+ENTER, under Antialiasing I had AA check marked, but AA Transparency was not. I checked AA Transparency and started up a new game and Alduin was there again. I have AA deactivated via my hardware, as well as, through the INI files that I edited by way of Mod Organizer. So, whatever I did by checking AA Transparency from the ENB menu seemed to work. I'll update if I find that that caused a problem elsewhere, but apparently it's fixed. Thanks for all of your help! You led me in the right direction for the fix!

Actually, yeah, I'm running ENB. I guess I should adjust AA and Transparency AA? Through the SHIFT+ENTER options?

I'm currently going through the STEP: Core setup, and I've reached the benchmark after "Section 2.E: INTERFACE." Upon loading the game up, everything goes well but then during the initial loading screen with Alduin, he just doesn't appear. Neither him nor the wall he's perched on appear, only the fog and two floating red eyes. I'm using Mod Organizer and my load order is as it would be applied after reaching "Section 2.E: INTERFACE" using LOOT internally through Mod Organizer. I can't seem to find what I'm missing or what could have caused this. Sure, it's a pretty minor problem, but I'd hate for all of the loading screens from here on out to be missing, as well. Please, somebody help me out! (I've attached the screenshot of what I see)

This might be unrelated to your OP's problem, but I'm finding that after following most of the STEP, err, steps...the Alduin on the loading screen (plus the wall) have disappeared completely. All that remain are the fog and two red eyes. I, too, have Googled the problem but this was the closest I've come to finding anything related to my particular problem. Can you guys help me with this? What did I fudge up? Thanks in advance!
