Do not install anything that says "quivers".

Yes, AMD users and is the reason I've not mentioned it yet. I've mentioned it on the Enblocal INI page and made sure that page is up-to-date for it; however, I've held off on the other pages until Boris irons out the issue. Once it's stable, then I'll plug in v0.264 where you see v0.262 (except for on the ENB preset overviews unless their Nexus pages also state they're compatible with v0.264).

The memory section will still work but nothing else. If you're installing an ENB preset, as Viper said, follow the instruction on the preset's Nexus page to install it and then you can view the enblocal section of our Guide to get an understanding of all the settings within that file. That is found here: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB#tab=Editing_Enblocal_INI

Since there isn't much to look over on the Quickstart page, I went ahead and finished up the ENB Choices page as well. So as you review one you can move over to the next. The only thing I wish I could figure out is how to separate the galleries so they don't all come up as one when clicked on. I'll have to research some wiki code to see of that is possible.

The Packs from DSR are suppose to overwrite the mods which they are for. In other words, the De-LARP Pack from DSR is suppose to overwrite the original De-LARP mod. As long as these Packs are installed after the original mods, then all is well. If you're following the STEP Guide, then you'll be installing these Packs towards the bottom of the list (after the original mods); therefore, there is no issue. The issue here is you've taken the words a bit to literally and have moved the Packs up underneath the original mods. Don't. That bit of the instructions doesn't say to move anything...it just says they have to be installed after the original mod. Keep them under DSR which is where you originally installed them and don't move them, or just merge them with DSR during installation so you don't have to worry about their position as they would then be a part of the DSR mod.

I added a bit of a note about it being included in presets which require it. We'll leave the line there, at least, for informational purposes.

Haha! Had a bit too much rum and coke myself last night. They're good though. I only replaced two of them due to updated stuff.

I'm moved the Intro section into the completed area. The Quickstart is now ready for review: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB#ENBoost_Quickstart

I was thinking the change really didn't make any sense because I figured the result was the same either way. Eh ...semantics...SkyFalls is only easier because it's one less file to download is all.

Because of the change in load order and install instructions: For users that have had SkyFalls and SkyMills and SDO installed for a long while and merged the patch from SDO. You will have to reinstall SkyFalls and SkyMills and SDO to get the proper setup again. Make sure you have the latest versions of each mod before doing so and don't forget to move SDO up in the load order.

DY just kinda left it hanging so here what a lot of users will need to do: For users that have had SkyFalls and SkyMills and SDO installed for a long while and merged the patch from SDO. You will have to reinstall SkyFalls and SkyMills and SDO to get the proper setup again. Make sure you have the latest versions of each mod before doing so and don't forget to move SDO up in the load order.

I have no idea if you can or not with solely ENB, but FRAPS can capture in PNG.

Set this DisableDriverMemoryManager=false to true and then UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false to true and see if that allows you to start the game.

Make sure it's set up like this:

That mobo is from 2010 (released) and things have stepped up since then. Mobos are coming out today that have dedicated sections of the board to reduce interference, amps, replaceable chips, support for 600ohm headphones and more. Sound is always going to be different for difference people, though. If you're someone that has a fine tuned ear, uses 600 ohms headphones or do audio work, then yeah...you're probably going to want a dedicated sound card. If you're not, then the onboard audio is just fine for 90% of users. I've never had a sound card in any of my systems. I also have never been able to tell a difference in the same speakers hooked up to onboard audio vs a dedicated sound card. But that's me....mileage will vary here.

I would never by a PNY. The reviews I've read aren't that great and the 1yr warranty is shady, imo, compared to all the other manufacturers that offer 3yr warranties. Even Zotac (off brand) has a 2yr warranty. That alone says something negative to me. Most people don't need sound cards these days. The onboard solutions from most quality motherboards is just as good and even better in some cases. Unless you have a fine tuned ear with a surround sound speaker system or do audio type work and mixing, sound cards are a waster of money for the average consumer.Actually, if you're tech savy and have access to another computer for setting up the OS for installation via thumb drive, then you don't actually need a CD/DVD drive. I have some tech friends that haven't had them in years. I have one by have never used it myself. Unless you need it to install a game or watch movies (and there are even ways around that) and if you are tech savy enough to install an OS from a thumb drive then you can most likely pass...disc drives are going the way of the floppies. If you're uncertain, then most certainly get one. You can most likely pick one up online for around $20.

Thanks, I'll get to those when I get home this evening ( I'm about to head out to work ). Also, just so everyone knows, I'll leave each section that I post in the OP that is ready for review up for about a week for a whole page and 3-4 days for just a single section of a page. This should give everyone time to review those sections before moving on. Edit: Got those spelling mistakes taken care of.

If that is possible, then I do agree. A custom build will always trump a pre-built system. My system is actually fairly similar to the one Phazer linked. You can save a bit of money by going with an Asus z87 motherboard (it's what I have and they are very solid boards that will not bottleneck your system) and the GTX 760 4GB which will save you about $120 just from looking on Newegg. They could be found even cheaper. The GTX 770 would be preferable; however, the GTX 760 will not disappoint. It's what I ended up with due to budget constraints. It'll run Skyrim on 1920x1080 with a smooth framerate of 60FPS. Most ENBs I've tossed at it stayed within the 40s for FPS as well. I've tested it with demos from several other game including Crysis 3 and it's handled everything perfectly. Skyrim+ENB seems to be the most intensive thing I've been able to toss at it thus far.

I think some of you may be missing one key piece here... Although the advice here has been true and solid, Phosphor was planning on financing the system and paying it off over time. This tends to point to the fact that he most likely doesn't have the $1200 to spend at this moment on various parts and components. If that is truly the case, then the option he's going for isn't a bad deal.

More power to you! I think I'll stick to reading Greek...it's likely easier. Haha! Joking aside, you're doing a great job.

Okay, I agreed with this too so I've edited it a bit.

1) no need for a link here. A link is provided on the pages where it is appropriate such as installation instructions. 2) you're probably right. I've removed a lot of this already form other pages. I'll remove this as well. 3) spelling them out the first time is grammatically correct. I will fix this as well. 4) Support is not a subforum, it's a top level forum but I'll look at the wording here too. EDIT: Okay, I've cleaned it up a bit. EDIT #2: Misunderstand you about the link. I've fixed it. Boris is unfortunately not that great with web design.

I think the idea was to only have those fields show up that ticked; thus, needed. This is possible via forms (like how the Detailed Information works on the mod pages.)

Okay, I still have to play the game a bit a test. Just seen that bit on the newest release and it got my brain to thinking...not always a good thing.
