bug STEP v2.10.0 Official Bug Reports

[TechAngel85]

Tried installing Vivid Clouds and Fogs, as per step: core requirements, and per recommendations on your page. Opened Skyrim (via skse, of course) to ensure my game was still stable. Game wouldn't even get to the start option before CTD.

 

-EDIT- for those wondering, I know it was Vivid Clouds and Fogs, as I had previously tested stability and that was the only mod I installed between. Used LOOT as per guidelines.

Sounds like a missing master. Check your plugins tab in MO to see if you have any warning icons.

Vivid Clouds and Fogs

 

Lags during foggy/misty weather. FPS drops from a stable 55-60 FPS to 40 and 30 FPS at worst.
The FPS goes back to a stable 55-60 FPS when turning the mod off.
The FPS also goes back up after using the Clear Skies shout.
 

Graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (2gb vram).

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs)

Thanks for the report. It's going to be removed as a requirement from the next release.

Hi there, new user of the step process here.

Got some user feedback that might serve well for all parties. If the installer fails to find a requirement for core and/or extended that is needed, would it be possible for it to tell what plugin is missing or what the fault is? (I'm guessing the info is there as it can identify that something is missing)

So one can figure out what is needed for eligability without having to go through the very extensive list, and likely miss it, then bother some one here. For something that is likely regarded as a tivial issue.

I am currently in such a pickle and I can't say I'm excited for the trouble shooting I have to do considering the list of mods, though I'm betting it on being the missing masters of realistic water two that mod organizer is giving a warning for

To my knowledge, there is no way of coding that with just the FOMOD script.

 

Do remember that all the mods (including the patches) have their own topics here: https://forum.step-project.com/forum/9-step-mod-anthology/

 

The Patches topic is here and the OP lists the required plugins: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/9370-step-compilation/

Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - RDO is missing all the options which you need to select during the wizard.

I am using Vivid Weathers which includes Vivid Clouds and Fogs. However I cannot run the compliation installer when I've got Weathers enabled instead of Cloud and Fogs. Can I still safely disable Cloud and Fogs after I ran the compliation patches?

I'll have to look into it. Perhaps the mod updated.

You'll have to remove Vivid Clouds and Fogs from the STEP Patch. It really never should have been added to the patch and will be removed from it for STEP 3.0.

Wait...if you're installing for STEP:Extended then you don't need to select any options. Just click "Next", select nothing else, and install the mod.

 I expected something like: Select nothing during the install wizard with the Relationship Dialogue Overhaul on the wiki page. But there is only information about what to download from Nexus.

How would someone do this?

How would someone do this?

By loading "STEP Extended Patch.esp" into xEdit and removing the Vivid Clouds and Fogs master file entry, and any associated records.

There's actually a script you can run to help you do this. Instructions are not provided because doing that is beyond the scope of STEP. However, just google it. You'll find your answer with a bit of searching.

[SlickStretch]

For now, just skip the Farmhouse textures. The textures you'll be left with are still good.

Maybe we could put this info on the guide? I had to search for nearly 2 hours to find your post that says "skip it." Something that simple and obvious should be trivial to add to the guide page. I know I'm not the only one who had trouble finding this info.

No, it contains what it contains. We simply have never provided suggestions for those mods. Set them up however you wish.

Hi,

 

It's not a bug, but I think these situations have other motives besides HDD or SSD:

 

• In the first case (typically slower drives such as HDDs), the Dragonborn.esm is now no longer in the data directory.

 

This happens if you backup copying the .esm and not cutting it. It will backup the .esm to the xEditBackup in the Overwrite directory of MO and put the modded .esm in the Overwrite root directory.

 

• In the second case (typically faster drives such as SSDs), a cleaned Dragonborn.esm is now in the data directory (compare the filesize to your backup of Dragonborn.esm to verify that it has been cleaned--it should be smaller).

This happens if you backup cutting the .esm and not copying it. Since there isn't anything to overwrite, the modded .esm will be put inside the Data directory and the backup in the xEditBackup in the Overwrite directory of MO.

 

Hope this helps.
