alot of it is just CPU getting hit hard. so it lowers frame rates but the Image quality boost is rather amazing.


It's just that it's a bit of a farce undoing ugrids if you want to use it on a current save so I want to be certain.

Out and about in the wilderness I get about 45-60 fps ( depending where I look)

I've put shadow draw distance at 5000 as I prefer the character shadows looking nice

Sorry if it's not enough info

By the way is there a way to increase contrast etc in game? ( without the enhanced shader mods, they hit me to hard with my current settings)

Everything always looks a little washed out on my screen

So this recent update does not allow me to use 4GB?
I would still have to add the 4GB mod?

I need to buy a new house. I'm tired of living in that small little breeze home. What city has the biggest house to buy?

Yeah same reason why I recommend it.
Plenty of space for the stray dogs too, if you decide to keep them as pets.

Although I do not recommend leaving them in the kitchen.
Food tends to end up on the floor.

Yeah, found a couple of stray dogs about Skyrim, talked to them and they followed me.
Instead of telling them to go away, I left them in my homes and annoy the housecarls with their barking.

There are a couple of stray dogs south of Helgen. I killed em though. One had gold, the other had a garnet ring. Also, some wolves have garnet rings.

Arghhh..

Spoilers everywhere about here....

I have the game running at a solid 60FPS with everything turned up to max (but FSAA x2) plus a few ini tweaks thrown in for good measure. My GPU sits at around 70% most of the time yet I still get microstutter.

I know this is a common problem with the engine that Bethesda use.

My question is, did any of you get this and if so, did you fix it.

This microstutter isn't really that bad, just enough for me to notice it and the game is still totally playable but being a perfectionist/fussy ßastard, obvioulsy getting the game running as smooth as butter (as many other games do) is the desirable target....if it is at all possible.

My first C++ runtime error in this game since updating to this new patch.
Wonder how many times this is going to pop up.

Weird, I've noticed something about skyrim:

When I Ctrl-alt-del out of the game and press cancel instead of selecting task manager, I get a strong FPS boost in-game, until the next time I fast travel...

then I re-do the manoeuver, and still get the extra fps...

U guys, pls try this and let me know if it made a difference in your FPS...

I hope DA3 will be more like DA1 .... DA 2 was pure garbage. I didn't sleep playing DA1 because it was so much fun , they will learn a lot from Skyrim hopefully they'll take on Bethesda's 411 quests + infinite ones.
