The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

Are you able to use the SkyUI in game search function?

I didn't realise there was one and no it didn't work. SKSE now installed:D

You don't have to, it's fantastic out of the box. The mods just take it "to the next level" (dons cheesy american 80s outfit).

Mostly this, but I recommend SkyUI and Categorized Favorites Menu as vanilla versions are simply terrible.
 
Awesome mate, thanks. I have mine set to 60 so I'll try 58.

Out of curiousity, what is the difference between capping at 60 and Vsync with a 60hz screen?

I really dont know, I think you'll still get mouse input lag - for me, setting it to just below 60 seems to work perfectly. I'm on a 120hz screen aswell. The thing that made the difference was setting both "true/false" options to true its now for the most part entirely smooth!
 
Really not sure why but the textures seem a little too bright, have I missed something? Any recommendations?

This game is so good.

But is any one else experiencing lots of frequent hangs?

Like I walk through a door, and then it freezes, you can still hear music, but cant move or anything.. happened 3 times in about 1.30hrs

I dont know if its the game or the 12.6 AMD beta drivers...
 
Argh, look at this @ 12noon

Really not sure whats making it so bright, it was like this before I even put "realistic lighting" on aswell. Cant for the life of me work it out.
 
Yeah I checked all of that, I made a copy of my folder before I changed anything with ENB first so I reverted it, put on SSAO - Full and now I get this @ noon

Still doesnt seem right to me, really not sure what I need to do :(
 
Perhaps a mod has changed the brightness settings in the config settings. If I max the brightness slider, my game looks like that. I'm afraid I don't know what else you could do to fix it.
 
Can you show me what yours looks like where I took my screenshot Lycosa? Normally, not uber bright like mine

redline, yours looks awesome.. could you also show me what yours looks like?

This is really bugging me now, it feels like the flora and otherstuff is lit up some how or there is just too much light and I dont know how to fix it.. Im <-> close to totally reinstalling!

Not quite the same spot, but you get the idea... mine could stand some more exposure, but overall I'm happy.

Try opening the enbseries. settings file and reduce the daytime pointlighting value... I had something similar indoors, and it was pointlighting.

Here you go. I think I like it brighter than most. I'm using realistic lighting with Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics ENB. looks a little less bright ingame actually.

Do you have a sound card?

One thing that helps prevent crashes is set sound settings to 44khz.
Also when you teleport to any ware don't mount yer horse within first 5 seconds.
Disable auto save also helps.
 
redline yours looks great, what settings/mods are you running that make it look like that?

Lycosa yours is a little too bright for me, when games get to bright they lose their immersion for me.. always reminds me of the really badly made counterstrike maps where every texture was illuminated lol - no offence, I appreiciate you taking part in helping :D

Whats that mod you're both running for Whiterun? Looks awesome!

I think I've fixed my game but I'm not sure yet!

I thought the same until I first used this ENB config. I also thought DOF would be annoying. It was something that looked completely over the top when I first installed ENB, but now If I reduce the brightness or go back to vanilla I find it looks unrealistic and dull.
Bear in mind that the screene was taken in midday sun and it isn't actually as bright in game.
For me the game's stories don't do too well at creating immersion compared to the last two, so I've gone for graphic realism to create immersion;).
Its difficult to decide what the lighting should look like when the sun behaves as if Skyrim is on the equator.

Oh, and Beautiful Whiterun.
 
I thought it was that one, I'll install that now.

I have an odd DOF problem.. people upclose are blurry, even though I'm aiming right at them. I didnt have this problem before.. I turn DOF off and it goes away but like you.. I thought it wasnt needed but tbh I like it on, as I use the bow a lot I like the effect on the arrow it gives among other things.

I can't work out why its making the faces blurry, otherwise its looking good now!

I'm using a couple of other enb configs that I mixed and matched and then tweaked the settings myself to achieve what I want.... but, try TV_ENB which is what I started with, and you should get a very similar look.

EDIT: that last screen looks much better... not sure whats causing you DOF issues though. Make sure you remove all the ENB related files and try again.

Yeah I dont know, I downloaded that TV_ENB and went with that and it looks awesome. Well.. you tell me..

Do you run "realistic lighting"? I might play with that next but I'm gunna backup my entire folder right now lol

Edit: Argh I prefer my first screenshot now that I see them together, god damn you DOF. Y U NO WORK!?

Edit 2: Kept the TV_ENB and modded the ini file, ambient lighting I think or something.. I copied a few of the settings from the other ini file using the customizer and it seems I've made myself a winner. I've been tweaking all afternoon, its like an addiction.. IT MUST BE PERFECT OR ELSE! :@ but I'm there.. I think, I hope..

I think that last one is the best, but what is good for one is not good for another.

I don't use Realistic Lighting... I have but don't any more, for no other reason than the configs I used didn't include it. It gives a different starting point when your tweaking you own set.

Have you set [in Docs/My Games/Skyrim/SkyrimPrefs] bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 the default is '0' this maybe why DOF is not working.

EDIT: actually maybe the first of those two is nicer... dunno :)
