spell casting lag

Post » Sun Jul 28, 2013 10:15 pm

After adding a few more mods recently, with none of them touching spells I don't think, for some reason now I'm starting to get a weird lag issue with spell casting. For example, when I try to conjure something, the conjuration doesn't appear immediately, although SkyUI shows the timer has already started. It appears some seconds later. Also, when I try to switch spells quickly it will just show my hands empty, and after some seconds the spell will finally appear in my hand. During this time I can still cast the spell (which usually causes the spell to appear in my hand also). This is really odd and I've no idea why it's happening, so I'm wondering if anyone else have seen something like it.

The recently added mods are: CoT, ELFX, iHUD, No sneak attack sound, TTYM, Falskaar, Helgen Reborn, Winter is coming - cloaks, spash of rain, wet and cold, better quest objectives, immersive armours, immersive weapons, flora overhaul. It may seem many but really half of it are little tweaks and the others are just immersion mods, couple quest mods, and texture mods.

I've also checked and it's not the game lagging, because it still happens when I have constant 60fps. I guess I've also been tweaking the game settings a bit but that's just changing fov to 80, tweaking the fade distances, switching AA off and using FXAA instead. Nothing I've done should have impacted spells in any way...

Edit: Ahh I knew I forgot to mention something. I've also added Elys uncapper. This seems to be the only thing that may be affecting the spells, since I hit 100 for my magic skills and as soon as I installed the uncapper I've levelled the magic skills past 100.

Edit2: After doing some more investigation, I found that in the menu I'm also experiencing lag. Items takes a few seconds to show. I can't imagine it be a GPU or computer issue. If a computer cannot render these textures then I'd imagine the game would be unplayable.
