I first encountered the issue when I reloaded a save after finding missing terrain near the 'ancient circle of the lost ones' during a modded playthough. This is why I initially thought it was a mod issue. My game went a bit weird after that, like my character T-posing around but this was fixed when I reloaded the save again. Unfortunately, this is also when the FPS dropped to 2-20, and lots of stuttering. I couldn't continue playing because it was so bad.
Attempts to fix/identify issue:
- Cleaned modlist of possible issues, and cleaned save with fallrim tools. Problem persists.
- Started a new game. Problem persists, and is not specific to a particular save.
- Reloaded a save. Problem persisted. No Saves now, since I did a fresh reinstall.
- Reinstalling Enderal SE. Works when I first launch the game to play. Every attempt after that, problem persists.
- Played Vanilla. Confirms not a mod issue, problem persists.
- Deleted ENB. Problem persists.
- Deleted Enderal.ini so a new one could be made when opening Enderal launcher. Seems like fixed problem occasionally, though this feels more coincidental than being a possible cause of the problem because it does not work all the time. Overall - problem persists.
- Checked if it is a hardware issue. I do not have this issue with other games, Skyrim SE seems to work fine as normal. I only have this problem with Enderal. Restarting PC seems to recreate 'first launch' of enderal where everything works as it should. Every launch after that - problem persists. Don't think it's got anything to do with my specs tbh.
- Verified the integrity of game files. After first launch, there's always a few files that have to be reacquired. The more times I launch the game, the more files that have to be reacquired.
- Launcher log seems to not recognise installation status or SKSE:
