Black lines around Fire.!!

[BboyPhoenix]

Hi, I know this has been around for a while.

 

Whenever I look in a source of fire, or I have a spell in my hand I can see black lines around objects or my hands. Annoying as it is really immersion breaking. I am currently installing Skyrim fresh and have no mods at all. Also my Antial. is set to 4, it was said to fix the problem but it has not. Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

Turn off transparency AA.

[BboyPhoenix]

What do you mean? How do I do that?

Thanks for the reply also.

[TechAngel85]

It's usually set in the video card driver's.

[BboyPhoenix]

I have an AMD card, I can only find Multisampling and Supersampling.

Is any of these? Or do you mean I should turn AA completely off?

[TechAngel85]

I'm not sure what the AMD values are that you need to adjust. I'm running Nvidia. I just know that is the cause of the issue. AA on transparent textures (fires, spells, etc) cause a small black outline. You may have to play with it until you find what gets rid of it for you.

Theres a boolean in one of the skyrim inis.

[BboyPhoenix]

What do you mean hishutup? Something I have to tweek?

Again guys, thanks for taking the time to reply, I am having this issue for over a year now.

In your SkyrimPrefs.ini under the display heading, you'll find a value for transparency multisampling. Set the value to 0.

bTransparencyMultisample =0 in skyrimprefs.ini

[BboyPhoenix]

Well.... it is already set to 0. So this is not the problem.

[TechAngel85]

Turn off super sampling in the driver to see if that fixes it.

[BboyPhoenix]

Nope. Both Multisampling and Supersampling have the same effect on this. That didn't fixed the issue either.

[TechAngel85]

Try looking for a setting in your drivers for "Adaptive Anti-Aliasing" and ensure it's off/disabled. Also, turn off/disable SSAA. You should only be running Multisample AA (MSAA).

Why does this happen? Does this also happen on ever other alpha effect in the game? What about foliage, steam, smoke, splashes ect? Is this possible only on textures with completely black backgrounds before they are flattened and an alpha mask then applied? So I'm saying if you give fire a yellow/grey background (depending if it's a colour/greyscale texture) instead of the black background they usually give it, would that help? Or is this a shader problem or something?

 

Am I making sense here at all?

[BboyPhoenix]

I am only using MSAA but still there is no effect. I hope now that the remastered arives this issue will be gone.
