I've been having a huge problem with microstuttering in skyrim recently. It's only with movement though, I don't see anything other than my walking being effected. What will happen is I'll take like 2 steps, notice a brief "stop" and keep continuing and do the same thing over, and over again. When I'm in third person it almost looks as if my character is in a looping, 2 second, running animation. It's really annoying, and the strangest thing is, I had skyrim installed on my computer recently (about 2 days ago), and I was having the same problem, but tweaked my video settings and fixed it. I uninstalled it because I wanted to get rid of a huge chunk of mods that I had, when I reinstalled it I put the settings back to exactly what they were when the microstutter was fixed, but it's still microstuttering. I've tried everything, I've checked every mod, TES5 cleaned it, used BOSS to get plugin orders, played around with the core usage, set the priority to high, tried 800x600 res, fps performance boosters, you name it. I have no where else to turn as this microstutter is making the game unplayable, does anyone know what the deal is and how to fix it? My specs: Dell Inspiron N5010 Intel Core i3CPU M370 2.4GHz 6gb ram (plus 4 from a hard drive using ready boost) ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v with roughly 3.5gb video memory (I've heard radeon is notorious for causing this, but that doesn't explain why it wasn't doing it before). I play skyrim with these settings (these specs solved my microstuttering before, but now do nothing) 16:9 widescreen, 1366x768 Antialiasing and Ansiotropic are both off. Textures are medium Radial Blur is low Shadow detail is low Decal quant is off No FXAA Water only reflects the sky. All view distances are lowered except for object fade (5), Item fade (4), and Actor fade (5). Distant object detail is low and object detail fade is on. A list of my mods in load order if that helps at all: Skyrim.esm Update.esm Dawnguard.esm Hearthfires.esm ClimatesOfTamriel.esm Chesko_Frostfall.esp Climates of Tamriel-Sounds.esp Improved Combat Sounds v2.2.esp Character Creation Overhaul.esp SkyUI.esp Cloaks.esp Cloaks-Dawnguard.esp Northern Fur Hoods.esp CCO-Oblivion Carry Weights.esp CCO - Permanent Birthsigns.esp RealisticRoomRental.esp RRR_Hearthfire-Patch.esp Climates of Tamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp Duel-Combat Realism.esp The Dance of Death - Dawnguard Edition.esp CCO - Dynamic Skill Progression.esp 3DNPC.esp RealisticNeedsandDiseases.esp RND_Dawnguard-Patch.esp RND_Hearthfires-Patch.esp Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp CCO - DIverse Races and Genders.esp dD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Realistic.esp (this load order was a suggestion from the BOSS program) Thanks!
