alright!

I'm aware of that :D. I didn't have a chance to try skyboost, since i found it after i upgraded to 1.5.24 but iirc in his website people were saying (apart form useless and offensive comments) that skyboost + 1.4.21 was better and with less lag than 1.5.24 without. I was just curious to try that out :)

Still, it's sad if he worked all this time on an updated version of Skyboost. Expecially for him of course, because he would have worked all this time on a now outdated patch, but also for us, because we would have to choose between skyboost and the navmesh bug fix...

"General AI pathfinding optimizations and bug fixes" Is that the navamesh bug fix?

No, i was testing with vanilla skyrim.

Are you sure you're running with Nvidia gpu and not the integrated one? Because this is the drop i see when running Skyrim with intel. What mod are you using?

I thought so :P , but you never know these days, look how many tipes of AA you can install in a game :) btw, read my post above

Tried with custom .dll and nothing has changed. Btw, NO_VSYNC = true means VSYNC = false or NO is the acronym for something?

I tested it on my laptop with a gt 555m and optimus; i got wrong placed shadows a fps drop, form 32 to 18. I used both safe mode: false-false,true-false,false-true,true-true and they didn't halp much (the first safe mode slightly improved the shadows). https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/857/screenshot6tg.png/ I also changed the name of the d3d9.dll and that fixed the shadows problem but the fps remained the same (~18). Strangely, enven toggling hialgoboost off with F10 didn't raise the fps above 25; maybe an issue with the custom .dll? This trick works with enb ( the fps with the wrapper and injector version are the same) and fxaa (didn't check the fps) but for examble doesn't work with smaa, so maybe it worked half?

It's the same he changed the name from iccc to RCReN

@ s4n I knew how fshadowdistance effects the shadow but i misunderstood and i thought you set it to 4000 to compare the tweaked shadows with the launcher high settings. my videocard is a gt 555m .It's a laptop gpu, that's why i gave information about my fps drop with default settings so that it was easier to compare the results.

I already tested it with NPCs and i agreee it looks better. Also, moving around does seem smoother. Here i wanted to compare the shadows with the vanilla ones because originally i was trying to find the thr fshadowdistance with the best performance/qualty ratio but i stopped due to the performance hit.

I've been doing some tests with enb shadows first i tested vanilla shadows quality to see the difference in performance. medium: 47-48 fps high: 41-42 fps ultra: 29 fps Then i tried enb; even with medium shadows settings the fps dropped to 30.5-31 and after the tweaks in the .ini it went to 24 fps (vs 30 fps) with fshadowdistance=4000. This seems like an huge fps drops for me. I tried to disable everithing possible in the enbseries.ini but i couldn't get above 39-40 (instead of 46) and the image is exactly the same,because toggling shift + f10 does nothing exept changing the fps. here is my setup: -dowloaded enb 0.111, downloaded this and overrited with s4n enbseries.ini. -used a clean save with a few mods loaded (skyrenolighting, imaginator, proper aiming, autoFP and WATER) -used default .ini files, exept ballowgrasscreate=0 and fSunUpdateThreshold=20.0 (for screenshot purposes) -set shadow quality to medium and added s4n tweak settings. -i7 2630qm -gt 555m 3gb @default -1600x900 Well, using s4n tweaks reduced my fps from 41 to 30 so this may be one of the settings i cannot affort with my videocard, the thing that bothers me is that i don't see an improvement in the image quality: .ini at default, shadows on high, no enb - 40 fps https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/screenshot8kr.png/ tweaked .ini, fshadowdistance=4000, enb - 24 fps https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/screenshot2ab.png/ what do you think?

I think it's a patch because i didn't installl USKP yet. I stared with 1.5.24 and now i'm running 1.5.26

That's probably why :D Fullproc never did anything for me even before the first patch, was something I tried at day 1 personally. :)

That never happened to me. I loaded a clean save just outside Helgen and the iron arrows work as the should.

I tested the +fullproc in the launcher and did not improve the perforance for me. Are we sure Bedesda did't implement something in one of the patches?

Make sure to check out his page frequently, because he's planning to release an update shortly That would be awesome! What do you mean by modular? Because i think it's the main problem right now. It's one big gameplay mod. Wich is both the strength and the weakeness of the mod since, as the aothor wrote "By modding everything, I make sure stuff plays well together, and has a lot less bugs than one might expect. And needless to say, a single mod won't cause compatibility conflicts, while a lot of small mods do." The downside is obiviously that you get everithing or nothing. He made indipendent mods for the standing stone and the racil abilities, wich is a start. :) . Overall, still think it's worth it

ops, that's right, sorry about that. :confused: @ TC that's what i did for a while, but T3nd0 has been working actively on the mod in the past weeks so if you have any suggestion this is a good time. For example Apocalypse spell and SkyRe are already compatible but he said he's probably going to make a compatybility patch for it (for abilities like sneaky magic)

Hi! First of all, i'd like to thank TC and the STEP team for the hard work they put into this project. I think you should be proud! Anyway, i just wanted to bring ur attention to this mod. Does not follow exactly STEP's phylosophy, since it changes gameplay, but seems balanced (IMO :P ) . Apocalypse Spell Package https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16225 In particular, it is problably the first balanced magic pack mod. I haven't played much the game 'cause i startedd modding, so i cannot fully test, but from what i tried they does what it says . So, what do you think? PS: i hope this is the right section and sorry if i made grammar mistakes, i'm not a native speaker.
