This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Test stuttering and the relation between odd physics (allegedly running at 64Hz) and the iFPSClamp setting: see talk page. Rewrite and make certain sections more readable (SKSE, ENB, the whole Vsync affair). You can help by modifying
the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

Key points
- A wide array of bugs have been fixed through the community patches. See Unofficial patches.
- Active modding community, more mods can be found here and here.
- Due to the v-sync used as a kind of frame limiter, disabling it or playing with a non ~60 Hz screen will result in the physics behaving incorrectly.[citation needed]
