Thanks, sorry I missed that thread, I've been out of the loop for a few weeks. Any info on exactly what bugs? And have they been reported to PuuLoo? he's pretty good at bug fixing. Although that "Volrath Enhanced Lights and Fixes - VELF" looks very promising too.

I thought the crashes were fixed awhile ago? Hmm, that's a shame because it's definitely a must-have mod in my book though I haven't tried Shadow Stripping Fix to see how it compares.

I assume so because it's not listed under incompatibilities, but I know it's not compatible with RCRN due to their own little indoor lighting tweaks (which MDS does better, tbh). But the author is mainly supporting RLwC, so I'm not sure. (and there was a huge drama thread with RCRN vs RLwC I read earlier too...). But no mention of CoT, AFAIK. Edit: so... I believe as long as CoT doesn't add their own little lighting balls indoors like RCRN was doing, it should be fine. And yes ENB is fully compatible.

not sure if this is in the latest beta STEP due to only being on steam workshop, but PuuLoo seems to be updating it on curseforge, so it has a reliable place to download now.

Personally I wouldn't SLi unless you intend on running lots of transparency antialiasing, ambient occlusion, and ENB/lighting mods. but even then, there are some issues in skyrim like tormentor said. also, GPU's before kepler (GTX 6xx) had micro-stutter problems which sometimes made framerates feel like they were lower than single cards due to delays in syncing frames between the graphics cards. P.S. I wish i had two 4GB cards >.<

What about Win NT, Win2k, server 2003, etc? Those weren't stable? Lot of servers and enterprise machines ran on those back in the day. Not sure about vista/win7 to be honest so I won't comment there. I meant consumer systems, Microsoft servers/workstations are actually quite good until you compare them to Linux. I think it really comes down to who is administrating the system.

That article touches on a lot of controversial points (like climate change BS), not sure why the author decided to turn a science achievement into some massive political statement. I think you got caught up in the whole polarized politics and missed the point of the article, which is that massive achievements are still possible by concerted human effort no matter the odds (if you are able to check your individual politics and religion at the door and get to work).I agree, but it just seemed like the majority of the article was intended to push the author's political opinions and/or place blame on different political reasons for the lack of our progression in science. Either way, definitely a positive step for mankind. It amazes me how these types of projects get funded at all in our current state of economy.

Feel free to Nitpick. It stops the directory thrashing.Well that's not entirely confirmed but I think you're right, I use that too.

Could make a junction or symbolic link pointing to another drive. Is this true that anything in the main directory will be searched by oblivion/skyrim on launch? (and not just the data folder?) I keep mod organizer in my main installation folder.

Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings > select Adjust For Best Performance > click smooth edges of screen fonts > Apply > EnjoyThat makes things ugly all the time though, not *just* when running the game. You can turn on transparent glass and shadows under windows as well if you like the bling all the time without much of a hit.  Windows 8 supposedly automatically clears all this stuff out of memory when  running a fullscreen directx app anyway.Transparent glass is the biggest vram hog, but just having the themes stuff running at all will suck up vram. That's good to hear that windows 8 has that fixed, unfortunately windows 8 is a piece of trash in general (like vista). I'll be waiting for windows 9.

Yes, SKSE just launches TESV.exe anyways.

Pretty sure it has to have some kind of desktop composition. Try this if the options exist:
