What can I do to get rid of bugs in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition? Depending on the encountered issue, there are some simple solutions.

Animations are weird

Solution 1: Many have reported that vsync should be enabled/forced and limted to 60hz. This can be done in the NVIDIA/AMD control panel. Solution 2 (By BeastMomba11): Go to DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim Special EditionSkyrimPrefs.ini and set iVsyncpresentinterval to 0 if using a G-Sync compatible system. You may also want to do this in the NVIDIA/AMD control panel specific for the game and as an added bonus, it should speed up the game’s performance according to multiple accounts.

I’m getting terribly low FPS

Solution 1: By default Skyrim MIGHT set your GPU to integrated graphics instead of dedicated. From what I’ve seen this is mostly an nVidia issue.Go to your NVIDIA control panel and then go to “Mange 3D settings”. Add Skyrim SE if it’s not in the list and then change its settings from Global/Integrated Graphics to High performance NVIDIA processor. Solution 2 (By Timptation): Disabling G-Sync can vastly improve performance and remove stuttering.
