OFFICIAL Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim (Discussion)

[Irony]

I did a little digging and found this in the update code for Steam ...

If (loadedVersion != latest Version)
{
   if (steamUser == "Kreij") terminateWithExtremePrejudice();
   else updateNormally();
}

I'm getting a little paranoid.

Lolz

1.4.27

The beta was 1.4.26

I didn't get the patch today and mine still says 1.4.27.


I just now decided to get the hi-res dlc, and its like 8 gigs. Is that normal?

yeah for uncompressed 1024x1024 textures yeah. I didn't bother with that hi res dlc though

 

[Irony]

With my slow internet, it'll take till like 3 am. Is it worth dl'ing? Or should I just use some texture mods and be happy?

id use texture mods instead honestly

 

[Widjaja]

Haven't noticed anything important happen with the latest patch, besides Steam Workshop not working until I closed out and launched steam again.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

I disagree. While some textures in usermade packs may be higher quality the DLC does everything from the lockpick to skeletons to the font in books. It is a big overall improvement. The best looking install at this point would start with the DLC and replace individual ones with modder-made textures instead where appropriate. That's tougher is it's a bsa but can be done still.

correct the DLC is great for 99% of the shit modders overlook,

theres a simple edit to your Skyrim INI file will let your mod textures over ride the DLC textures as needed but still apply the new textures to files that are untouched, should anyone download the DLC and have issues with it conflicting with mods send me a PM ill walk you through fixing it, its a simple edit and bam best of BOTH worlds

I just had Skrim CTD on me for the very first time. Damn patch. Anyway its kinda funny how it happened.

I was in Whiterun having a drinking contest. When I won the drinking contest the guy says "You don't look so good" then boom! CTD. I went back after the CTD and did the drinking contest again and woke up in another city. I think it was some kind of scripting issue as Crazy suggested.

This. sure the modders do a good job - but then you gotta babysit three dozen mods to cover everything. the DLC is a mild improvement, but a mild improvement to EVERYTHING.

sounds like the TPU hitsquad cyber division. Kreij is behind it i bet.

 

[WhiteLotus]

There is DLC now?

official texture pack = DLC

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

you and if you add the texture pack to your skyrim ini data pack load order, you can disable the esp's etc for it, and still have it load which allows all mods to function without issue because the load order is changed specifically

I haven't had any problems yet, but now I know who to go to.

It was the deadra.

 

[TheMailMan78]

How many of you guys have had CTD during play?

 

[Kreij]

I get them occasionally. Usually happens to me on a transition to another location (like you described) or when opening something. Doesn't happen all that often though.

Yeah this was my first ever CTD playing. Im not worried. Just wanna make sure.

 

[Irony]

Yeah, they happen occasionally. Mostly only during fast travel, but a couple times it wasn't even loading a cell and it just crashed. That time it like overlooking half the world, with fog and smoke and stuff nearby and it was running at like 12 frames.

 

[WhiteNoise]

I haven't had a CTD since the 1.3 patch.

I'm stuck and I wonder if anyone can help. I need to progress in a quest line that seems bugged.

Spoiler

The Jarl in Windhelm sent me to the jarl in Whiterun to hand him his axe. (This is to find out if the Jarl in whiterun will join with him or against him in the war). When I talk to the jarl in whiterun he doesn't give me an option to give him the axe. There is nothing in the speech tree. BUT the arrow is over his head telling me that he is part of the quest. Now I looked it up online and I read that to continue this quest and for him to accept the axe I must complete three quests for him first which I had done a long time ago.

I also completed the peace treaty and trapped the dragon...I've tried advancing using 'setstage' but thats not working for me either. Because I did the peace treaty does that mean I can't hand off the axe for the 'Invasion' quest line? The quest is still in my journal though...I'm at a loss.

 

[Kreij]

I use the NMM for mods and launch the game using the SKSE launcher, which gets you into the game (or back in after a CTD) a lot faster than using the vanilla launcher.
There is no BS from Steam like "Preparing to run XXX" (or whatever it says and then sits there for a minute). Maybe it's starts faster for people with better internet, but if I can shave some time off loading a Steam game I'll take it.

@WhiteNoise : No clue. After seeing the complexity of the quest engine in the CK it's amazing any of them work at all. lol

If I remember correctly,

Spoiler

the Axe is to issue a challenge to the Jarl during the rebellion. If you've already established the peace Treaty, there's no reason for him to give you the axe, or for Whiterun to be challenged... I'd say "Bug" from my point of view...

 

[Kreij]

Nice job with the spoiler tags there, Ahhzz.
Feel free to remove your sig from the lower tag if you want.

That sucks then. The Jarl in Windhelm won't give me any other quests because he keeps telling me "Didn't I send you on a mission" or some such shit.

I really just want the ability to buy the windhelm house. I need the Jarl to send me to some stormclooak commander to help him with a rescue but I can't progress to that quest line with the invasion quest bugged.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

and this is why you let each side butcher each other

believe it or not, that's intentional I was visiting another site, and saw that they've got their machine builds all on separate spoiler type tabs in their sig area. So, I'm playing

I joined the Stormcloaks because I hate the damn Empire telling me what I can and cannot do. Don't know if you guys noticed or not with my years on TPU but I have a little authority problem.
