OFFICIAL Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim (Discussion)

Are you using fx beta pure enb at the moment?

This one is Skyrim Enhanced Shader 12e using ENB .101 with Darker Nights and FXAA with all Post Processing effects.

I just realized that they have released new ones while I was playing.
Time to update... again.

Now I'm confused they don't have 12e it is just called FX beta vanilla plus and I assume the other Pure ENB is just the default ENB?

EDIT: The Vanilla plus is still the 12e, says so in Documentation. I tried .102 enb pure but things were too bright. Sticking with 12e.

The other one optimises code for AMD, you should use the settings from 12e and use the other stuff from the latest

After using the FX beta verison of the shader. i can't get the standard HDR one to work again

Neither of the FX beta ones make any difference to visuals for me and now i am stuck with bright dungeons :/

I tried uninstalling the mod in Nexus manager and then re-installing but to no avail! Anyone know how i can get around this and get Enhanced shaders HDR working again?

I'm going back to using FXAA as it made the game look quite nice.. Should i use the FXAA tool, or the option in the advanced menu? Does anyone have any advice on what settings i should use? Should i reduce normal AA in game when using this to keep frame rates the same?

Thx

Edit - I just read thru the full readme and realized it's not compatile with the nexus loader... even though the nexus loader installs it?

I cannot find the bFloatPointRenderTarget=0 line in skyrimprefs.ini

I give up.. i got it installed (but without the change in the ini line so i gues AO wasn;t enabled) and it just borked everything up.. the full version took my Fps from 40-60 down to 4 fps and the lite version made all the textures mess up

I'm fortunately pretty easy to please and vanilla with the ENB Anti-Freeze patch with all settings on high looks great to me.

BTW what exactly is radial blur supposed to do?
I have that on high, but I can't pick up on what I'm supposed to see.

A good way of making yourself strong:

Spoiler

Make shit loads of Iron Daggers. this raises smithing really quickly and cheaply, then sell daggers this increases speech. Together they will raise your level by about ~7, and you will have top tier armour gear at a low level. Now you wont get cut up as badly. Also ignore Dragon armour, completely pointless.

Why do you say dragon armor is pointless? Dragon bones and scales are much easier to get than Daedra hearts and ebony ore/ingots.

Daedra hearts are pretty common if u know where to look. The guy at the college of mages has 2 every other day. Ebony ingots are from blacksmiths, you just have to travel a little to get them.

 

[Widjaja]

^^ To add, general store type merchants can have ebony ingots and possibly the traveling kajhiit (sp)

May your road lead you to warms sands....

Hey guys, I really need HELP with this Water Bug...

I don't know what is causing this, it started happening between the time I installed the new 12.1 AMD drivers and other mods like Skyboost...

I tried disabling skyboost, but that was not the culprit... If anyone can help me fix this, I will be GREATLY thankful :O(

Here's a short video so you can see what's happening precisely:

http://youtu.be/PIk7ntNhIRU

EDIT: I have tried disabling Crossfire which seems to FIX the problem... How can I have Crossfire on and NOT have this bug happen???

*** BUMP *** still need help with this.
(I don't have any of those crossfire fixes or .dlls in my game dir)

P.S. How do I embed my youtube video in a post ???

Right, but the dragon armor still has better stats and the ingredients are still more abundant and you don't need to go out of your way to get them.

Daedric heavy armor has higher stats than Dragon heavy armor. If you have a high light armor skill, and not a high heavy armor skill, then it could make dragon light armor seem better. Especially with light armor perks I suppose. Heavy Daedric is better in general though.

Oh shit, you're right, I guess I never looked closely enough, but I just checked now and daedric armor is slightly better. That's kinda odd that it doesn't require as high of skill to make though.

Just popping in for a question: Is there a hardcore mod or something for this game? I feel like I want to try it again, but with a hardcore mode.

Not really, at least Lydia can't. When her health reaches 0, she'll just get down on her knee and pant for a bit. However, at that point she becomes vulnerable and can die until she gets back up; it's just that enemies are programmed to ignore her when she is down like that.
Quote:

I've gptten lydia and Uthgerd the Unbroken both killed. Lydia died to the frost troll while going up to high hrothgar, and then I went and beat uthgerd in a brawl and she started following me, and then I got her killed when a thalmor jerk mouthed off to me and I killed him; but he had a bunch of lightning slingin friends. I let them all start killing uthgerd, then went around behind them and killed em. But now I don't have a companion, unless I pay a merc.

It seems that they can only die if the foe has either magic or frost, as well as the ability to deal alot of damage. Becuase the frost keeps doing damage after she stops fighting to heal. the same would apply to fire I guess.

There probably won't be any good mods of that sort until after the CS (or whatever it's getting called this time) is released so people can do it properly.

Chances are they got hit while they were down.

Daedric heavy armor and nightingale is hott. I'm using Daedric at the moment with nightingale swords that drains stamina and magicka i think. i can't remember. The baddies glow red and green when I hit them lol.

Bout to hop on Skyrim for the day. 3 day wkend with alot of game time. Sweet.

P.S. How do I embed my youtube video in a post ???

To enbed, copy and paste the url part after the v= and before the &feature like this:

[ y t ]PIk7ntNhIRU[ / y t ] But without doing any spaces.

About your water problem, sorry I can't help. I remember having something similar once but I had just put my save games in a safe place and reinstalled the game. Or changed graphic driver. I did both but am not sure which one I did for the water problem. I suggest you try changing drivers first.

Are any of you guys using enhanced night sky?

Whats the difference between the Enbseries enhanced shaders beta .102 and the other one thats just 1.8 HDR?

 

[jonathan1107]

Ok, I understand how to embed... what are the "[y t]" parts for?

Do I not need to use the 4GB Skyrim mod with the 1.3 patch? I read it allows for up to 4GB to be used

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Messed around with SSAO on the latest enhanced shaders and decided it's not worth it. It might have been salvageable but I didn't feel like adjusting the whole damn config again to make it less dim in some areas without washing out in others. That and it added shimmering to everything outdoors. I'll just stick to AO.

yes, LAA 4GB was applied with the 1.3 patch. no need for the mod

Well there's your problem. 5770 or 5750? And what's your resolution?

Even though it's not your weakest point, that processor isn't great either.

The question still begs to be answered; is it a 5770 or a 5750? Just look at the card and read the number.

Edit: Also, your drivers are quite outdated. 8.9 it says.
