I changed my ugrids back to 7 with the console commands in the OP but now it looks like some of my textures on the map and in game are missing. Any ideas?

 

[dark10x]

Hmm, if I go for 4x MSAA my framerate takes a dive into the single digits. Running out of vram, I suppose?

 

[bloodforge]

You mean ... with a controller? -_-
I tried every damn keyboard key but nope... I have 10 dragon souls and 2 shouts ... *sad*

R unlocks the shouts with keyboard.

Most likely. Monitor VRAM usage with MSI Afterburner.

Anyone seen which gaffer posted the ini tweaks for the popping in of texture layers? I am getting that now and would like to fix that.

With the 360 controller yes. I though that was what you're using. On the keyboard I think it's 'r' to unlock them, although it should say exactly what it is to unlock at the bottom.

So here's a weird bug. I seem to have infinite mana, or at least when I cast a spell my mana doesn't go down at all. When I use a high mana cost spell it dips a little, then regens almost instantaneously. I assure you I'm not wearing/using anything that would buff me this much.

Any ideas?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good news is that I just turned my grass rendering up and ugrids to 7 with a buffer of 64 and the game definitely looks better with no performance hit.

Still getting layers popup in WHiterun though, want to eliminate this one fast as it's only happened for 2 days and never before then.

Someone said there is a temp buff you get after a quest for Mage College that is supposed to so that.

Oh my god, Large Address Aware is badass! I'm seeing a huge difference now.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

ATI Radeon 5870

I was getting like 30fps on ultra + .ini max tweaks but now it's 50-60 everywhere. Whiterun I'm spinning in circles pickpocketing clothes off guards except their helmets at like 60fps it's great! Thanks OP

Wait what? So am I and it litterally just began happening. What the heck is going on?!!
FOr me it also gets bad on the ruins outside the city. Its never happened before now its like VERY aggresive LOD.

Ah that'd be it, just started at the college, stupid of me not to check active effects.

I did nothing huge either. This was before messing with ugrids or anything. Whiterun was fine and now it's not everywhere but I see it and its distracting.

I will have to read back a few pages to see if someone posted about it, I know I read about some ini settings somewhere but wasn't at home to notate.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I wish I understood the uGrids thing, must have missed the post that explains it. I tried it once and it just kept crashing. Luckily I was able to get it back to the original settings.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Anyone else prefer the look of the faces naturally and not the detailed face mod? Detailed faces for me looked DOA/NG smooth faced and looked so out of place in Skyrim.....and it made my Redguard look really weird.

What settings? And what have you done to your SkyrimPrefs out of curiosity? Your HW also please.

I will too. Post it if you find it. I swear I hadn't messed with anything and ended up going to dinner, reloaded it and...it started. I mean its BAD in whiterun.

R unlocks the shouts with keyboard.

Okay I've found what didn't work. You can't properly bind mouse keys other than mouse 1 2 & 3. I'm using Logitech 510 and binding mouse 4 and 5 works like shit. First you can't hold the buttons for whatever reasons and second it totally fucks up the in-menu binds. Puting sheathe back to "R" allowed me to unlock shouts.

Bethesda you're so full of shit with your shameful console port. And the game is really good too ... fuck sakes.

 

[Karak]

iPresentInterval=0
bMouseAcceleration=0

(see OP for where to put it)

The above settings completely eliminate mouse lag. Playing with a controller "helps" input lag by being such a bad input device that you don't notice lag as much

Nope its proven that it 100% does NOT eliminate it for all.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Vanilla looks a lot more natural to me. The color tweak is adding a lot of blue to the blacks.

edit: yep, just checked it in Paint. The "blacks" in the color tweaked version are 0-0-8 RGB. The blacks in vanilla are 0-0-0 RGB.

People need to calibrate their goddamn displays if they think this game is washed out.

This is going to sound wierd but one of the people I am helping on another forum is having it and the ONLY tweak he has done...at all, is to change ugridstoload around then reset them. Once he reset them to 5 even if he goes higher or lower or leaves it...this popup is now occurring. He didn't even get a chance to change vsync or anything.

This is with his savegames. He is going to start a whole new game and see. I don't see how that could occur or cause this unless something else occurs behind the scenes when ugridstoload is used.

Did anyone post this?

I believe this is a mock-up UI this guy is planning on doing? Not quite sure of the details...

All I can say is FUCK YES - it does have a somewhat "web-page" feel to it. But it addresses a lot of the issues I'm having with the UI right now, and houses a lot of information that is nice to see.

Thoughts?

I have no idea what level you get this stuff. I keep starting over around level 21 but even at that level I still very very rarely get anything higher than Steel quality. I think I have one Dwarven piece.

How do you check your framerate in game? I have a 560 Ti set to Ultra high with shadows turned down and the game is 100% playable and consistently better framerate than my 360, but I wouldnt' be surprised if I'm not pulling 60 but somewhere between 30 and 60.

I wish! He's just providing some ideas for people planning on modding the UI. Don't get your hopes up...seems like they're running into all sorts of problems, and Bethesda has decided they aren't releasing any source files for the UI.

I thought the UI was just ActionScript/Flash, etc, people are already messing with it from what I know.

Apparently Bethesda's UI dev has been helping out with questions, and he's also the one that mentioned that no source files would be provided.

Started getting some weird random things like the ini going back to default settings or the game auto detecting HW and resetting my ini. Now Steam won't launch the game on some boot ups and I have to reboot. This is been an issue that just started today too.

Is there any mod that can hide helmets? I hate the dwarven one i just made.

That looks cool. But I hope those making these mods take into consideration those of us that play some PC games with a controller. Skyrim plays amazing well with a control pad.

 

[sh4mike]

I made an A-shift modification to one of the 360 pad hotkey templates if anyone is interested. Diagonals just weren't cutting it for hotkeys. This feels really nice to me -- still hoping there will come options to bind multiple items to a single hotkey and specify left/right hand.

1) Here are the changes from default gamepad settings.

Wait=A+Back
Favorites=Back
Hotkey 1 = d-pad up
Hotkey 2 = d-pad right
Hotkey 3 = d-pad down
Hotkey 4 = d-pad left
Hotkey 5 = A + d-pad up
Hotkey 6 = A + d-pad right
Hotkey 7 = A + d-pad down
Hotkey 8 = A + d-pad left

2) Base template: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=332#content

*note: current release has 2 buggy lines of code -- remove these lines under "Favorites" if present

LeftEquip 0xff !0,Left Attack/Block !0,Left Attack/Block 0 0 0 0x8
RightEquip 0xff !0,Right Attack/Block !0,Right Attack/Block 0 0 0 0x8

[DoctorZ]

can anyone explain how this 360 hotkey mod works? http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=332
You set up your hotkeys with a keyboard first then the dpad acts as hotkeys 1-8?

What are the B+blank commands for? Go straight to that menu?

 

[BlaneH]

I'd appreciate that as well. I tried putting it in the folder and running the game but saw no changes.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I suddenly started experiencing a new graphical glitch tonight. From time to time certain light sources will disappear and reappear as I move closer and further away. It doesn't happen often but when it does it is annoying. A good example is the light just above the Jarl throne in Riften. As I approach the throne a fire like light source suddenly appears. As I back away it disappears. Anyone else notice this?

A more proper font would go a long way in improving the UI already, get that clean shit out. That edited UI looks decent, but it should show more items at once - ditch the second row in the bottom pane for starters (keybindings and level bar are unnecessary, merge AR/burden/gold with the first row bars).

 

[Erethian]

I have read some of that, but the files that are needed to mod are already available, people will just need to figure out some tricks to get it working properly...

Or that's what I gather from skimming/reading the first post...

The only real problem is being able to create or alter GFX files, which are used by Scaleform.

But it seems like people are figuring out ways to get around that, especially since a lot of other games have used Scaleform as well.

Edit: Also talk of source files has to do with the FLAs that the GFX files are generated from.

Says you. But you are wrong and I am right! Or actually, it should all be in daedric for proper immersion.

(Being able to choose it would be nice, the default font is very clean and functional, but not all that 'fitting').

Run the game in borderless windowed mode (using the "mod" on SkyrimNexus). I haven't had a crash since.

Which one did you use? I'm gonna try "Simple Borderless Window" by Liddo.
