Lighting Issue - Too dark, too bright.

Post » Thu Oct 31, 2013 10:53 pm

I have the Legendary Edition of Skyrim and every now and then the lighting gets messed up on the game. Here are some examples:

- When inside of a dungeon (which is where it commonly happens, not always), my items become very dark. On one side you can see a darkened version of the item in question, which is usually equipment. It makes no difference whether I have it equipped or I'm in the items screen.

- Arcane Enchanters sometimes give off a bright glow coming from the surface of the table. Instead of a few bright runic detail, the entire table turns into a bright blue.

I think we all get the bright blue arcane enchanter, one possible fix is to reload a save before you enter an area.

I think I've had your first problem before too, all of a sudden, my armor and weapons wouod get dark when I viewed them from the inventory. I have no fix for that.

item lighting* meshes probbably got messed up in the data files for the inventory items. reinstalling the game might help, perhaps.

As for the arcane enchanter, that mesh has a flaw in it in the base game mechanics itself and theres really not much to do about that other than loading an earlier save, and hoping it'll help.

i usually just leave the area the glowing enchanter is, and wont visit any other enchanting tables until i finish playing and load the game the next time i want to play. so far so good, only had the glowing table one time so far :D

edit: however, maybe after some time of playing, or even loading an earlier save may help with the lighting. however id still suggest reinstalling, and after reinstalling, loading a game save you have before the problem occured (may not matter the save is that old, but it may help prevent it from happening again, so figured ill add the option in)
