Are you sure ATI cards are made to run Havok Physx. Like the Wii and I believe the Xbox 360 use it aswell.

Just like how Need For Speed SHIFT and SHIFT 2 Unleashed used nVidia PhysX, but its only using the CPU, not the GPU acceleration. PhysX, Havok, Bullet (through OpenCL) etc. needs to be configured in the program code weather it will use the CPU or GPU for acceleration.

Thx, FYI my gtx 470 eats this game up. My cpu at 4.6ghz helps aswell. Cpu seems too fast I cannot read the hints they clear to quickly during loading.

 

[ViperXTR]

good for you then

the loading screen hints can be barely read since it loads faster on PC, not sure on consoles

I am getting 45 FPS on the low end and not often at all and well into the 100 FPs top end. Maxed settings I get on average 55 to 60 plus frames. Hows your 460 do?

 

[ViperXTR]

when vsync is disabled (ultra settings), it can randomly dip from 35FPS to beyond 100 fps (in which at this framerate it causes vertical mouse axis bugs and seems to introduce "exploding"/hyperactive items and corpses and other bugs mostly physics related).

I wonder if the giant sending you to the heavens is the cause by disabled vsync lol, since i have yet to experience that from the giant's blow (i usually just die X_X) .

And since im only using a 17" (1280 x 1024) only monitor performance is good even on a lowly GTX 460 SE overclocked lol.

I enabled vsync now to prevent those aforementioned things so ~60fps max '__' (custom fxaa injector barely take any performance hit)

"A carton of piss"? I'm sorry, but I must know what that is slang for. I really hope you don't actually mean urine

It basically means alcohol here in australia mate. We say "i feel like getn on the piss" or "i drank too much piss last night" etc.

Ah, that makes sense. The only alcohol I've ever tried tasted like piss

You didn't bother using your powers?

 

[theJesus]

I think that would go against some silly rule or something.

 

[Widjaja]

In relation to the Heavy armour potion, I think having a high heavy armour skill may also give a higher resistance Draguer's who sneeze at you.

 

[theJesus]

Is anybody else bugged about not having spears since Morrowind? I loved the Spear of Bitter Mercy.

 

[bostonbuddy]

smithied my daedric armor mace and bow and improved it to legendary status(100 smithing, plus draught for blacksmith, plus necklace of smithying, plus daught of enchanting). Enchanting is currently at 80, once it gets to 100 will enchant everything, already have about 20 grand soul gems waiting(3 of them black soul gems), currently buying soul gems, hunting and filling them, selling the enchnted goods, and buying more soul gems. Will have all the non soul gem related perks for enchanting. Next will be getting the bonebreaker perks and getting the heavy armor perks(currently is only at 30)

oh and help I can't find my screenshots where do they go?

 

[theJesus]

Are you taking them with Steam or with the game? I think F12 is Steam and prtscrn is the game. For Steam, you can go into your games library, right click on Skyrim and click "view screenshots" or something like that. From there you can click something to open the directory they're in.

If you're taking them with the game, then I think they go in the game's directory. [steam folder]\steamapps\common\skyrim

 

[Widjaja]

Just checked as I wanted to know as well.
It's in the steam userdata folder, then look through one of the folders in there to find a folder called screenshots.

I think you can also press print screen and the screenshot will be save some where else other than steam.
EDIT:- theJesus has already mentioned the non steam location for screenshots

Anyone used the Wabberjack yet?
I think I turned a Frost Troll into a sweet roll.

 

[bostonbuddy]

found them, thank you jesus

Absorb health is def going to be one enchantment on the mace, what should the other be shock, stamina damage, paralyze(would have to find a paralyze weapon)?

Sounds like you maybe going for my dual wield setup.
I use health absorb one one ebony mace and soul trap on the other.

 

[Horrux]

Yeah, you can rename, even without enchanting them. Just go to the enchanting table, and rename it.

Wow, cute bug, the option doesn't show up for me.

 

[Black Panther]

Has anyone tried this LAA fix?

It's very recent, and people are saying it does make the game LAA even after the stupid 18MB Steam patch..

I dual-wield, so I can have one to absorb magicka/health and another to do health/stamina damage. Usually though I don't bother with absorbing now, and I just wield one with additional fire damage on the right (health damage, then some additional lingering health damage) and frost damage on the left (health and stamina damage).

 

[bostonbuddy]

I go mace right hand destructive spell left
I'll have the extra effect perk so will be able to put two on it.

Yeah I posted a link to this late yesterday, I just got all my mods set again, running 1.2 and this and it works. Tried all my mods on 1.2 without this and it crashed loading into Whiterun, I then went and applied this with 0 other changes and it worked.

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Ahah! It took like a zillion hours but my ini tweaks are finally complete (save for more ugrid when I have more vram). All thanks to the fxaa/enb combo plus my custom injFX_Settings to get rid of all that eye murdering contrast people keep adding to these configs (LCDs bleed washed out contrast enough as is people, think about the eye fatigue!). All I did was set a mild sharpen and a very subtle HDR effect, turn off everything else, and bam! Now I can tolerate fShadowDistance=20000.0000

Of course with all the shit I've done I'm crawling along at 16-20 fps haha

 

[entropy13]

Uggh FPS drops in certain points indoors (only). Better troubleshoot this immediately.

 

[ViperXTR]

^try heading to the abandoned shack in the swamps, framerate drop is severe there in my case hehe.

will try modding some visual aspects now, textures, water, faces, enb >8]
