Yeah, it’s super weird. The only visible change with the menu open is that the VorpX mouse cursor appears, but I tried ALT+C to bring the cursor up while the menu was closed, and that didn’t help.
I have tried a couple more resolutions now, and each I’ve tried below 1280×1024 works fine, regardless of aspect ratio. I’m currently playing with 900×720. It does have the benefit of actually keeping close to 90 fps in some interiors :D
On the higher resolutions the issue appears somewhere between 60 to 70 fps and above – I’ve gone to locations where the framerate would stay around those numbers while on a “good” low resolution, and the issue is still gone.
I’ll let you know if I make any other discoveries.
Edit: Just so you know, I can add that I previously tried running Skyrim unmodified with stock VorpX settings (using 1280×1024), and the image would still get jittery somewhere above 60 fps, so it doesn’t seem to be directly caused by either.
Here’s an update, after fiddling a bit today:
I just found out that lowering my resolution makes the problem disappear. I previously used 1280×1024 for Skyrim, and changing it to 1280×720 fixed it. It does not seem to be related to aspect ratio, as the problem reappears if I go with 1600×900, and vanishes again if I use 600×480.
This is not ideal, since 1280×1024 was pretty much the sweet spot between quality and performance and made menus both legible and compact enough, but at least I can play! \o/
I would still like to get to the bottom of the issue, though. Really curious why the problem would disappear regardless of resolution when the VorpX menu is active.
