As everybody knows (because I never stop having problems :P), I've been trying to make an install of Skyrim Revisited work. As everybody knows, sometimes trying to solve some problem, minor or otherwise, just creates more problems.
I use a 32inch Samsung "generic PnP" monitor. It's a TV. I've had it for like 5 years and it's always been solid. As I've been trying to combat problems with transparency anti-aliasing, I have taken some steps:
-using Skyrim configurator
-calibrating monitor
-installing Radeonpro
-fiddling with settings in CCC (card is Radeon 6950)
-installed 13.10 BETA CCC drivers which also comes with a beta display driver (so up to date, corruption unlikely unless there's an issue with the driver itself)
What I am experiencing lately is a blur or ripple effect. It is not just Skyrim, but also other applications (I assume all games would be affected by this but haven't tested). I am noticing it in Skyrim and my browser.
It manifests as horizontal waves rippling across the screen as an image pans or scrolls. This means that I notice it when scrolling with my mouse in, say, Firefox. I also notice it when turning around, especially moving the camera quickly or in odd angles, in Skyrim.
I'm not sure if this is vsync as my Skyrimprefs.ini setting has vsync turned on. In CCC I've tried "always on, always off, on unless application specifies, off unless application specifies". Basically, all the settings. I've also tried triple buffering and various settings in Radeonpro with no effect.
Needless to say, it's strange and obviously some kind of issue.
Additional info:
My monitor's native resolution is 1280x720 so I use that in general, including while playing Skyrim. I have tried other resolution settings but 1280x720 has always worked nicely for me. Setting it to 1920x1080 (max I can do) doesn't seem to have much of an effect except to make the text in the Console smaller. :P I haven't tried to see if it'll fix my screen rippling issue but I doubt it as it did not fix it with other general computer use. Plus, 1920x1080 looks terrible on this monitor on desktop, browser, etc.
The refresh is 60hz, also. My card is not quite 2 years old and the cables are secure. I might try a different HDMI cable if someone suggests that (I've seen that tossed around on the net) but I really doubt that this will do anything. Like I said, this problem started when I began messing with graphics settings and programs in an effort to fix my transparency texture issues.
EDIT:
New development. I was using ENBoost and the other thread about screen rippling made me realize that this could be the issue. Sure enough I disabled ENBoost just to test and my rippling weirdness ceased.
But. It's been replaced by a bizarre stuttering effect when I pan the camera, especially if I pan diagonally. It's not too bad unless I do that. There's definitely something wrong, though. Still.
