I agree with the last two posts. MS is always trying to ram Bing (and their other proprietary solutions) down our throats. The same applies to Xbox ... searching for something should bring up results from within the Xbox Live and related xbox apps, but instead, you get a Bing internet search result in IE that may or may not have anything to do with Xbox and certainly does not help me in the context of my xbox, since I am now browsing the internet (total waste of my time).

Thanks Audley. That means a lot. We run the site specifically with all you mention in mind, so glad you are a member ;) FYI A very small group of us started this site based on TheCompilers STEP 'mod' on the Nexus, because STEP encompasses so many aspects of mods and modding that we thought it would be better supported and serviced with full forums/wiki rather than a simple PDF guide and only a Nexus thread. That and the modding community lacks a comprehensive reference for all the aspects of modding TES Games. It has worked out pretty well, given the community and staff we have fostered :D

Based on the info provided ... Too many variables are askew to assume that your issues have anything at all to do with MO. If you have a dual boot system (?), then you will need to install Steam, Skyrim, Tes5Edit, and MO independently within each OS and confirm vanilla Skyrim works as it should using the vanilla launcher (no mods at all, no MO, no SKSE). Then you need to follow our guides to get everything configured properly. Even then, it is possible that there will be issues if you are running multiple OS ... too many untested variables for anyone to say for sure without replicating your entire setup(s).

That was my guess too. Mine download fine as well, but without a server list, there is no way to select preferred servers. Now I wonder if my preferred server list is obsolete or if the prioritization I have set is being ignored. I have a premium Nexus account, so I want premium servers every time. EDIT: Well, after messing with MO and reinstalling fresh and copying my profiles folder and the MO INI from previous installation, I have a server list now in the left pane. Not sure if what I did fixed this or if it was simply a time issue.

OK, really stupid of me ... I did not realize that this combobox has a max vertical size (I assume), because I did not even notice the scroll bar. The new profiles I created were named YAMM*, so they appeared at bottom of list and are not visible unless I scroll :P

I upgraded, so it may be dirty

I guess I need to determine what in my particular MO config could be causing this issue. Any ideas? I suppose I could save my profiles folder and reinstall, but would rather not if this can be attributed to a known config issue.

Somewhat related to this topic's title, but different issue. I just have no "Known Servers" listed (Settings > Nexus tab). I have a few preferred servers showing in the right pane, but empty list in left pane for Known Servers. MO 1.3.6

I created two new profiles under MO ... one is new, and the other is copy of an existing. MO does not list my new profiles in the dropdown menu, even after MO restart. Am I forgetting something, or could this be a bug?

Actually, he had added the spans, which helped by aligning the icons horizontally instead of vertically (no idea why), but he had copied DLSRequired properties to DLCSupported, which duplicated the former instead of providing the latter. He had also figured out a method for eliminating commas and resized the icons. Overall, good changes, but just the one mistake.

Resolved ... DY had broken it See page history for details.

s4n tells me that such redirects would skew/ambiguate search engine results and specificity ...

Did you read through the DDSopt Guide?? ... or did you just jump to the INI? The guide explains much about DDSopt as well as the INI. We don't go into how INI configurations work, because that is relatively common knowledge. If you understand the basics of how DDSopt is supposed to work, then the INI and INI settings will make much more sense. Programs don't care about or utilize irrelevant INI settings, and there is evidence that the INI does not work in all ways as expected (see the guide).

Just getting back to this from hiatus ... I will take a look at the guide at some point next week, but I like where you are going!

It is quite dificult to find updates via the GUI ... you have to scan with your eyes amongst hundreds if you only have the update number ... following is an easy way to see if you have an update installed using the command line: wmic qfe | find "KB######" The second of those updates you reference was installed for me way back in November last year. I don't have the first ... yet, nor does it show as an available update for me (Win 7 SP1)

I agree completely. Thanks for the info. Dedicated FireFox user here :P

Not sure why, but I though we did. Will need to update the server config I guess ... ETA uncertain.

I did not know about the Xbox live requirement to browse the internet or stream videos ... makes no sense. I don't think that is a requirement anymore though. I will try Win 10 for kicks once people like you work out all of the bugs :P ... Maybe by 2016-7 Win 10 will be stable/trimmed enough for me (when they begin marketing Win 11 probably)

Agree. It will need to be handled same way as the USPs. It doesn't make any sense that the USP team will not cover these edits, because a merge with USKP seems like the best place for these edits (so that other plugin creators tend to forward the changes in their own mods). Maybe they think it is too much work or breaks some of the current USP changes?

All MS browsers and internet utilities (e.g., Bing) are junk, and make too much effort to promote the integration of all of their ancillary software and services. They also have lots of nanny 'security' measures that cause page-load failures and crashes and hangs. Windows 10 will have similar issues in trying to integrate all kinds of other MS bloatware and bloat-services (e.g., Metro) into your system. All MS products I work with have issues with hanging and limiting functionality/freedom (e.g., IE and MS Office apps). Note of interest: One cannot find third-party browser apps for Xbox consoles ... you are stuck with MicroStupid's IE and Bing

Isn't this OS supposed to be shipping for free on Xbox One? If so, I will have it there and will likely stick with Windows 7 Professional on my box

OK, I get it now, thanks. (it's because of the way our modified tag works) But iMaxDecalsPerFrame should still be in the respective INI guide though ... right? I could not find it.

OK consolidating what I have learned (mostly from you ;) ): Settings in skyrim.ini can override ALL 'default' settings hard coded within the game EXE (i.e., effectively ALL game settings if no other INIs exist)Settings that are user configurable (i.e., skyrimprefs-specific settings) ...Are NOT configurable from Plugin INIsThose in skyrimprefs.ini override those in skyrim.ini if defined in bothAre invalid when defined from Plugin INIs, and thus have no impact and cannot be overriddenCan effectively be overridden via MO INI TweaksONLY settings that are NOT user configurable (i.e., are NOT skyrimprefs-specific settings) are valid in Plugin INIs.MO INI Tweaks override everything (we need to ask Tannin exactly how MO accomplishes this) my recommendations to the game configuration settings nomenclature: Default Game Configuration Settings: The hard-coded settings defined within TESV.exe. Used to populate Autogenerated INIs (see below)Default Launcher Configuration Settings: The hard-coded settings defined within SkyrimLauncher.exe. These settings are used only for the configuration of the Skyrim Launcher itself. Used to populate User Preferences autogenerated INI (see below)Default INIs: Don't need this one. These don't ever exist and the config is inherent to the executables (see above)INI Presets: The Skyrim_default.ini located under /skyrim and the SkyrimPrefs.ini located under /skyrim/skyrimLauncher INI presets: The low.ini (low preset), medium.ini (medium preset), high.ini (high preset), and very high.ini (ultra preset) under /skyrim which the Launcher applies against the Default INI preset. Base INIs: The standard game INIs generated in %UserPofile%/Documents/My Games/Skyrim after the first launch of Skyrim.Autogenerated INIs: Generated by the Skyrim Launcher under %UserPofile%/Documents/My Games/Skyrim if not already presentSystem Baseline INI: skyrim.iniUser Preferences INI: skyrimprefs.ini (tied to GUI settings)MO Profile INIs: Mod Organizer's profile-specific INIs created using the Base INIs.

I can do a global replace (and update of Template:Fc would alleviate). sorry, I made a couple of edits (see above and in the wiki editing guide) so that the illumination of each color is more consistent (rather than too dim/bright) ... all done now, promise!

I want to mention text-color standardization for use with our wiki skin to avoid use of 'bad' text colors and to increase consistency on the wiki. We should probably create template keywords for use with Template:Fc, but this works just as well for now: #9eb8ee (blue-ish) - Call out text relating to addition, enhancement, or confirmation. #78c888 (green-ish) - Call out text relating to fixes, functional, or relevant. #ff7878 (red-ish) - Call out text relating to removal, non-functional, or irrelevant. #c0c840 (yellow-ish) - Call out text relating to issues or unknowns #e6b69e (peach-ish) - Call out important text relating to special instructions #dddddd (white-ish) - Call out important text (alternative to above) Need to update all current guides and other public-intended content.
