Just a query about a possible issue. Neovalen's SR wiki page was edited recently by someone who appeared to have no clue as to how the STEP forum and wiki worked but had managed to make a couple of minor edits which seemed relatively clueless in themselves. I know the wiki is ultimately designed to be able to be accessed by all but I assumed they had to be members of the community and this fellow (assumption) appeared not to be. Since the move to a new server is it possible that security on the wiki has been compromised in any way? Or that it has been hacked? I don't know what the situation is or what happened exactly but i'd rather raise the question and appear foolish than leave it and there is a potential problem. :)

I didn't think it sounded like you on the page (unless you had been hit on the head or something). I thought that only registered STEP community users could edit the wiki, and then only citizens (I'm definitely patchy on the rules). That said his warning implied a problem with the email thing? He would have known about the community forums and SR boards. ('He' being the unsanctioned editor and assuming he was a member of the community). Has the wiki been hacked? It might be worth the admin team looking into it as the move may have allowed some security bugs etc.. I believe I will post on the correct part of the forum about this just so interested parties can check.

Bizarre update on SR. Found issue with Bring out your dead. - what issue? On the BOYD install note section there is this line after the edits. Warning:If to edit BOYD in this way - CTD on main menu. Submitted by Iroha, seems email feature doesn't works... Which IMO doesn't make any sense as SR doesn't crash in the way suggested with these edits. Did Neo actually add these notes? Confused. :o_O:

Ok have had trouble uploading photos so I am sharing a link to the folder - Here. Again this is Sky Realism ENB Vibrant setting (same as cinematic but with more screen). RLO and CoT. Should work I hope. Edit: Yay it does.

I have to share the photos into a public folder first before they will appear on here? Edit: I've just shared my photo folder and taken the snaps from there maybe they will appear now.

I just clicked on the pic in dropbox to copy image address then pasted that in the add picture link box directly in the post. I can see the images only 8 of the 40 odd I took and they work like all posted images I've seen on this site. Is there a better method? I don't get why you can't see them.

Clearly doesn't like certain shots so have deleted, shame they were some really good ones. :?

More pics.    I have a ton more but maybe you've had enough already. :D

 Ok I did miss something with dropbox - it's so simple even I can use it proof below.     Fraps is clearly not a great screenshot tool but there is enough here to get the gist - they look alot better in game. I really like this combination but I suspect it could be improved. DoF is not too annoying with this ENB. I will post more limit is 10. Edit:Not sure why they aren't all showing up - bugger!

Dropbox seemed to be aimed at companies but maybe I missed something. I will have a look at photo bucket as well. Thanks, hopefully will get screenies up soon.

I am running quite a stable game now, managed to get out of Castle Dour at last (re-did all the SR edits and checked mod list). I have no problems with frame rates rarely goes below 59.1 but my game does still freeze at random points which means I probably don't have my textures as well optimised as I could. Not sure how to improve those further I guess perhaps reducing the normals in the Bethesda texture packs is the next thing to try. That said it doesn't happen often. I have almost the same system as Neo but only one card, CPU is not overclocked yet, and only 8GB DRAM on a Z77 Sabretooth board. I am running Sky Realism's Vibrant ENB with RLO and CoT. I have taken alot of screenshots but there seems to be no easy way to post them on here - it seems I need to put them online somewhere then hyperlink to them any suggestions for where to put them? Looks F@^%$4g awesome though. P.S. please excuse my French.

So far 1.28 is working just as well as 1.27 was for me, which was fine. I have noticed no decrease in functionality from 1.26 upwards.

MO 1.28 is up.

They did. There was a big warning about bandwidth about to be exceeded and a planned move to a new server. This was also followed be advice to use the nexus for posts until the move was completed. Updates presented on the nexus page. posts have gone missing it would seem - but if they were important or similar I'm sure the posts can be made again.

I believe those may indeed be typos try the files 080053E5 and 080053EC - probably best to wait for confirmation from Neo though.This is more than likely correct if said nodes exist. They do and it is what I did.

I've just run through all the starts and have had problems with both Proudspire and Castle Dour in Solitude. Just tried Joravaskr again and I was able to leave the building on this occasion, but have had problems there recently. In the Inns both Dawnstar and Riverwood Inns would not load also could not leave Honeyside in Riften. Everywhere else was fine. It would be really splendid if anyone else is inclined to try an alternate start at some of these locations to see if there is perhaps some kind of conflict - if there is a conflict then it would quite an important one to resolve. That said I have been in and out of the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood when I started as a camper. Castle Dour though caused me problems when I visited Solitude to join the legion after completing AS.

Heavy VRAM test run: Alternate Start (Camping in the woods) -> Guardian Stones -> Embershard Mine -> Riverwood Trader -> Bleak Falls Barrow -> Whiterun. I have no probs with any of those but there does appear to be an issue with Alternate start Try going in and out of Joravskr and or Castle Dour. If your don't get interminable load screens then it'll mean that I will have to redo the Alternate start mod as so far I seem to get this problem whenever in an internal area where AS can start you. No problems with exterior starts or any other buildings. I may try some of the other interior starting points to confirm. :D

Problem is if I wanted to join the legion it would need me to go into Castle Dour which I then cannot leave. If there is an issue with certain locations it will need to be resolved - perhaps an error in my install but a new problem. I will need to check Joravaskr as I have had the same problem there in the past.

I can't escape Castle Dour! Having reduced the normals for all key packs I no longer get CTDs with the Giant at Pelagias farm or at the stone near Whiterun. Unfortunately the other issue I found before Ddsopting was a never ending load screen when trying to leave Castle Dour. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Ideas gratefully received.

Had same problem it is an easy fix. When your first start BUM in the bottom left section do this:- Drag MVAIvarstead.esp to below MVABasic.esp - Drag MVARorikstead.esp to below MVAIvarstead.esp So should end up looking like this: MVABasic.esp MVAIvarstead.esp MVARorikstead.esp After that is done you should be able to save the rules without a problem. Yup, can confirm this works. I had to move them into order then do MVABasic.esp, save and close, then open BUM again and do the other two .esp files. As far as the updated Flora mod, when its said it is like the summer edition, what does that mean? I've never seen the summer edition - does it change the apperance that much? He added a few green plants/foliage/trees mixed in with the gold/dead stuff... looks more realistic to me honestly. Think that is what he meant. For everyone: Here is a screenshot from my game running a customized version of "Unreal Cinema ENB". Really liking the results thus far, this is with NO weather mod presently. Did a full playtest from new game -> char creation -> Helgen -> Riverwood -> Whiterun -> Bleak Falls Barrow -> Whiterun -> Kill First Dragon with no breaks, problems, or CTD... :D I'm happy. I've almost managed that, just got as far as the farm with the companions fighting the giant (did Bleak Falls first). I got a CTD sprinting into the fight. Prior to that barely a stutter with a full SR and ENB plus RLO. I have not Ddsopt ed on the larger textures packs yet but that will probably be next. Otherwise going very smoothly. Not too keen on the Unreal ENB, I know you have modified it, so that may be different. For me it seems to put a grainy film over everything which washes out alot of the colour - compared to just RLO.

The quote implies that it is the weather systems that cause problems so install the patch for the weather mod, in this case CoT.

Ah yes, thanks for that - I had completely forgotten about that after setting it up prior to dragonborn. I will sort that now and get back on with it tomorrow.

Creation kit doesn't like dragonborn yet. I believe that there is a fix for this which I will try and find again. At the moment it crashes if anything (so far) related to dawnguard is selected in data.
