Skyrim Special Edition - Ultrawide 3440x1440 / tips

OverDrive · 2 Mar 2021 at 12:52

I have just treated myself to the special edition of Skyrim and downloaded it on Steam. Is there a way to get it to run in full screen at 3440x1440, it's running in a window at the moment.

New to Skyrim and really looking forward to playing

Any other Skyrim gaming tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Thank you for this. I’ll have a go and report back. I can see that mods are an integral part of Skyrim!

I'm not having much luck with the mods. I've registered on Nexus Mods and installed Vortex (and SKSE via Steam). The mods (ultrawide for SE, unofficial SE patch and SkyUI_5_2_SE) are showing as active in the Mods Manager section of Vortex and showing as active for Skyrim on the Vortex dashboard. When I launch the game, it just looks exactly as it did before though?

Maybe I need to look at this again when I'm a little less tired - it's been a long day.

Thanks for the help and advice

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a look for the config file.

I've also been having a look at the other OCUK thread linked above.. Wow! I really want to mod the game now.. some of the mods look simply incredible! However, as I'm a new player I'd like to mod the visuals rather than the gameplay. I also read that the updated UI is a must!

From reading, Wabbajack definitely seems to make it MUCH easier for someone who is new to all of this. To keep things tidy I'll post on the other thread about modding later.

This is all so new to me. I've been wanting to play Skyrim for years though!
