Hi, first let me say that I am new to STEP, and I am excited to see what this will bring to my game. Â I am following the directions to the letter, and very methodically. Â When I got to the benchmark phase for 2F, I noticed this strange pixellation on the stone walls of Helgen.
Is this a problem with specular lighting or a texture problem?

During 2F, I also installed Skyrim HD and Serious HD, in that order, using the wiki instructions. Â I also have SkyRealism ENB installed. Â The pixels persist even when turning off ENB, and when trying out Sharpshooter's ENB instead. Â The screenshot above was using Sharpshooters.
While this isn't a huge problem, it's one of those annoying things that once you see it, it is hard to look away. Â And those little shiny pixels seem to pop up on that rock texture wherever light hits it (sunlight is particularly nasty). Â I am worried that the problem will last through the game, so I wanted to try to fix it now before I start playing again.
