This has been bothering me for a long time when playing Skyrim. The only time it ever lags is when walking around outside. After you walk a certain distance, it loads more of the outside stuff, and that lags it pretty bad for a second or two and its really annoying. The thing thats puzzling me about this is that turning the graphics down does absolutely nothing. Even on the lowest possible setting it still does this. I have no idea what could be the problem, please help!

1: Heavily modded Skyrim needs some pretty decent hardware to go with it.

But if your pc is ok then,

2: makes sure that you have increased the amount of RAM Skyrim uses, and if you use an ENB you should increase the RAM settings in that as well. I cant remember but some sort of ENBsetting.ini type of file.

What hardware are you running (CPU, RAM, graphics)? Skyrim is a massive open world game with lots of textures and areas to load. It is probably just your graphics card. Try to turn down the Draw distance so not as much loads at one time.

Do you use any mods, especially any kind of visual mods that might effect loading? Mods could also effect how much that must be loaded after some walking around in an open environment as some need textures must be packed up from compressed formats or will make use of scripts and from my understanding on Nexus sites and other places on the web there are some problems related to how script run in this game.

How long time time have you been playing when these problem show up?



Do you use SSD for Skyrim and/or OS? Have you used any tweaks in your ini files for Skyrim?

As Malignant asked, we need to know more about your hardware as for what kind of video card you are using (and driver version would also be good to know), CPU, memory (RAM) and Harddisk/SSD for storage.
