Now I'm scratching my head as I accidentally copied over my good but slightly older ini with the one I tested with. That's what I get for going back in to try and tinker in the lab more ><

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
10 seconds until Frostmourne is back in the game. People went apeshit putting that dumb sword into Oblivion, so no reason to not do it with Skyrim.

Wait a minute, so I can't actually Load Skyrim from Steam any more, I have to load it from the new 4gb.exe or it would give me the LAA fix? I just had 2 crashes when loaded directly from Steam.
Load Skyrim via skyrim4gb.exe, but you'll still retain all the Steam functionality and support for achievements.

Oh ok. But then how do I chose the settings I want (in terms of AA, Shadows etc) as every time I load Skyrim normally it looks for and resets my settings through the Skyrim Launcher?
Edit: Does anyone know why it keeps autodetecting (ad thus resetting) my settings every time I load Skyrim through Steam, it's really annoying as it's setting AA and Shadows too high.
Edit 2: Dammit, now my ini settings have been reset after changing it from read only. Liquid have you got your ini settings that I can copy?
Has anyone else noticed this issue around weapon models in caves\dungeons with steam\smoke\dust? I only just noticed it today, maybe I just wasn't paying attention before, or could be a mod I've installed recently.
Here are 2 pics, I can actually see the lines around the weapons move as the steam covers more of it.

It doesn't appear in 3rd person, only 1st person view.

No, that's definitely vanilla, occurred to me too. In third person that small "halo" surrounds all of your character too.
Game broke on consoles for me, was thinking about switching my save to my new computer. Does that still work after the patch?

Any idea if this would run it better then the console version?

I worked on the lighting fix for 2 hours and could not find the one setting that helped in dungeons. What I said last night holds true for outdoors. Lighting and such, based on those settings is better, and draws further. The dungeons are the issue.
No.
This thing is a better gpu and it doesn't run well:

Begining to think increasing ugrids is causing some gameplay bugs. Namely dragons flying way off in the distance and trying to kill something, that might not otherwise be there with a smaller grid number :\
The way to reverse ugrids didn't work for me before, I'll have to try it again because dragons are getting REALLY annoying.

Ah, this is a good point actually. Although I quite like it. Makes the Dragons feel more indiscriminate and chaotic, like it fucking wants to fight everything.

I think you're just jealous.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
The horrible animations really bring this game's intended to be impressive scenes down... Who made that dragon walking animation? Who made that riding-the-dragon-and-stabbing-him-to-death animation? Who didn't notice how awful they are, especially the latter? How can scenes that are only made for eye candy, like the fatalities, be so shoddy and unpolished? Just remove them if you couldn't finish them or do them decently to begin with. Etc. </vent>
Used Dragonrend on a Blood Dragon, and for a while things looked good. It started on its crash-and-burn animation but hit a tree and started to spin uncontrollably and dissapeared over the horizon in a split second. After a while I got the DRAGON SOUL ABSORBED message. Fair enough.
They are re-using old URLs I think...

You try adjusting cloud LOD settings in the ini?

Sorry, it's a 6970m... i can't keep my #s straight sometimes.
I'll give it a go. I was hoping there were separate setting for night time, since I don't want to alter the daytime clouds.

Kill it.
Try playing around with mods. Some mods can cause this to happen. Turn them off and use trial and error.
No mods except for the aforementioned LAA / 4GB. And I don't run the LAA and 4GB simultaneously. Everything else is vanilla :/

Nah
Shows promise for future kinect hardware but that is just silly in its current form.

Find a small room
Hit ~
Open up the console
Type 'pcb'
Save
Exit game
Reload save.
Also, there's an ini setting that'll do this periodically to keep you from CTD'ing. I use it and I haven't CTD'd since.
Also, DON'T REUSE SAVES. They MAY GET CORRUPTED.

Uhh, nice! Very in-depth.

I really wish I knew if this is just a Gamebry...I mean Creation engine thing or just Bethesda being literally incapable of integrating animations right, I mean even with those revamped Havok anims the game still looks awkward.

It showed up the first time but I rebooted and now it doesn't. I was gonna link it in the OP but not with that link if it's bad.

Guides back and added in the beginning of the tweaks section. Right next to their first one.

You might not be aware but you can slightly overclock that gpu (with the increase in fan speed it will stay cooler than stock clocks) to get better performance, not really in Skyrim though but other games (Crysis etc). PM me if you're interested.
