I have the latest version of skyrim but there is a problem with the water. Does any one know how to fix the underwater problem in Skyrim? Everytime I go underwater all I see in green andI don't know how to fix it. I tired using this mod but it does not help me. http://skyrim.nexusm...?id=14007&tab=3

[GameGuy]

That green water patch is not compatible with the latest patch which made my green water even worse. Your water shouldn't be green by default, by any chance are you trying or using an ENB mod as enb d3d9.dll from enb version 1.03 and down give a green water bug with the 1.5 patches. If you want to get rid of the green water while using enb go to the enb dev website and download the 1.08 enb mod and only move over the 1.08 d3d9.dll to fix the green water. If not using enb give me a list of mods your using and I might be able to find the culprit.

None of those mod should mess up your water...is it green everywhere and can I see a screenshot if possible.

[smellybo]

here is what it looks like underwater: http://s1080.photobu...01at93403PM.png

[smellybo]

I can't find a way to fix it.

[GameGuy]

your sure your not using enb or any other d3d9.dll's in the skyrim folder as thats the only time I have seen the water like that.

[smellybo]

How do I find out if I am using enb or d3d9.dll's folder?

[GameGuy]

Well look in your skyrim game data folder inside the wrapper and see if there is a d3d9.dll in there

[smellybo]

If there is how do I fix it?

[smellybo]

this is everything in my data file: http://s1080.photobu...01at95025PM.png

[GameGuy]

Idk it looks normal and has no d3d9.dll in it...maybe try a water retexture like W.A.T.E.R or RWT - Real Water Textures that might fix the water. If that doesn't work it must be your graphics card.

[julus]

You didnt post what is your graphics card. ATI cards have regression since 1.3.37 in some games, with failing to render some screen effects. if you have ATI card, try to use 1.3.36 engine and see if the water still fails to render.

[smellybo]

How do I use the 1.3.36 engine?

[GameGuy]

1.3.36 is a wine engine but your using cider so either you figure out for to port it using wineskin or just ignore the water and keep playing the game.

[smellybo]

The graphics card I use is Intel HD 3000 512 MB

[julus]

Then you are not affected by ati bug

[smellybo]

Then I don't know how to fix the problem I tried to RWT and W.A.T.E.R. and those mods did not help

[GameGuy]

Thats most likely the cause of the bugs as even on pc that card has problems with this game. Probably no way to fix that bug.

[smellybo]

so its a bug with the version of 1.5 of skyrim?

[GameGuy]

Yes its a bug with version 1.5 or how I see it as bethesda added a bunch of useless effects to the 1.5 patches like shadows for grass, overhauled water animations, etc...If you could go back to the last 1.4 patch you could maybe get around this bug but no guarantees.

[smellybo]

this is something else someone told me what to do. How do I do the following intrusions below on a mac?
You could try to disable to depth of field to see if fix it or not. It might be the problem, it was for me and the following trick helped me :

In your Documents -> My Games -> Skyrim, find the skyrim.ini and open with notepad.

Then find the line

bDoDepthOfField=1

and change this value to 0

bDoDepthOfField=0

Save and exit.
This disable the depth of field effect, it doesn't have a big impact on the game and sometimes even improve performance when off.

Launch skyrim again and check if you could see underwater or not.
If it doesn't help you can easily just turn it on again by editing the ini and changing the value to 1 again.

Hope this work for you

[smellybo]

does anyone have to 1.4 version loaded online so I can download and wrap into cider?

[smellybo]

is it possible to run dxdig on mac?

[hellsdrinkers]

Hello, I had the same problem, went into the water and it turned green, I could not see anything! I tried everything that was on the internet until I found this:

About "bDoDepthOfField" in "SkyrimPrefs.ini" in your "My Games" folder
=======================================================================
"bDoDepthOfField=0" setting also makes underwater visible.
But you will lose your ENB settings of DoF.
And also it makes your underwater no color, and no blur.
So, I recommend you "bDoDepthOfField=1" when using my mod.
If you choose "bDoDepthOfField=0" setting, please deactivate my mod.
It doesn't need any more.


I did not think twice and have disabled the Depth, also did not use the MOD GreenWaterFix.

Note: I play on PC, not MAC, I registered to discuss the matter, I hope that solves your problem and perhaps more players.

Just click on it and it'll open, probably in TextEdit. That's all there is to it.

[burdisthewurd]

I'm currently on 1.6.89.0.6 and am also having this problem. Is there no way at all to fix this? Could it be the update file I am using? [link removed - Please do not post warez links]

I have also crashed twice while under water with this "green screen" and those were the only times I've crashed. Could this have any correlation to the PS3 water bug as well?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[smellybo]

Changing the depth of filed did not help me but I found this mod that helped solve the problem. This mod is found here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14007 I hope this helps you

[bernusdellus]

Instant, easy fix.

go to /documents/my games/skyrim/skyrimPrefs

open the SkyrimPrefs file in a text editor.

find the line: bDoDepthOfField=1

and change it to:bDoDepthOfField=0

save and exit the file.

re-launch skyrim and ye shall see underwater!

Enjoy.
