or her upperbody is gone or wehn looking through the 'filter' her hair and that of my character dissapear
and what exactly can i do about that other then assuming that my viceo card is reaching the end of its tether ?
If is sometimes, the files are in the correct place. Seems your video card may be indeed overloaded or even the CPU is. you can aways try performance mods and utilities, such as: Streamline; Operation Optimization; Quiet feet Max... Remember mods that enhances texture resolution places a heavy burden over the VC. At some point you will have to make compromises or upgrade it.
Remember video card with less then 512 MB VRAM will have very hard time with those high resolution mods.
PS: normally would be the FPS the first to be affected, isn't easy doing a precise diagnosis without testing with other demanding softwares to certify if is a soft or hardware issue.
