kranazoli Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Hey, I have question about this: Set the number of CPU threads Skyrim can utilizeiNumHWThreads sets the maximum number of hardware threads the game can use. Set this to the number of cores your CPU has, doubling that number if it has hyperthreading. The default value is 4, which is perfect for quad-core CPUs without hyperthreading.iNumHWThreads=Number of CPU cores, multiplied by 2 if hyperthreadedI have that type of CPU: Intel Corei7-3770K (hyperthreaded: YES)So, can I set this value=8 (?) And something related to this settings from an other guide: Add these if you have 8 cores.iHWThread6=6iHWThread5=6iHWThread4=6iNumHWThreads=8 Skyrim Stability Guide by FireFreak111https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50244/? So, what about the yellow ones? Thank you! Oops, and one more thing: I have set both these ini files read-only. (at my MO profile)But every time, when I launch Skyrim (SKSE) the skyrim.ini read-only flag "disappear", right after I launch the game.I can check this, till my menu loading.... But just from the Skyrim.ini file. The Skyrimpres.ini does not change. How could be that? I don't understand. I use Windows 7 SP1.

DoubleYou Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 iHWThread4 et. al. are leftovers from the older games and do not appear to be employed in Skyrim. Only iNumHWThreads appears to be used. You can set iNumHWThreads to 8 since you have 8 CPU threads. Let me know if that improves performance or not, as I have not been able to test that, since I only have 4 threads, which is the default value. Don't set the INI files to read-only. That can only cause problems in Skyrim. Backup your INIs if you're afraid they are going to be overwritten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say like a real CPU upgrade, but I guess this is not just placebo. But do not think too far... I had set it earlier, just now put that question, mostly about the yellow ones. (Thanks!) So, yes, in my opinion it has noticeable feeling. Maybe a little bit "fluent" gameplay. "cleaner, drier, more secure feeling!" :) Not yesterday was, when I read the whole STEP Guide, but if I am not mistaken it was suggested to make them read-only. Or I confused by other guide. Course I do backup. :) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kranazoli Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Is there any site beside that, where we can find a collection about recommendations and do not change things... ? https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Configuration_Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferferga Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi DoubleYou! Hope that there is no problems posting here those questions! - What about threaded textures, decals, morpher?... Is recommended to be active on old tutorials... So I don't trust that info nowadays... I didn't noticed any difference. - What about uGridsToLoad=3? No info somewhere. I've found that value only on Skyrim Configurator... No way to trust that setting. According to S.T.E.P Guide, is recommended to be left at 5, but nothing is mention for lower values... Thanks!

DoubleYou Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 All the threading tweaks in Skyrim are either set to be enabled already or are believed to be unused by the game at this point besides iNumHWThreads in [General] section of Skyrim.ini. Most of the threading tweaks mentioned on the net are bogus and don't even exist in those sections, and a lot of those settings, where they do exist, appear to be disabled.

qamyk Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 What if i don't use mod organizer( yeah i know, blasphemy ) and i would like to use spINI Tweaks module, is it even possible? Since it does that "spINI Tweaks contains tweaks to improve performance and improve graphics " i find him most interesting from this trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonpotter0 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Love 2.0! Might I put in a request for the next feature? Maybe another page that has boxes you can tick to put in STEP Ini additions? It would save alotta time for people to look at the latest STEP Ini tweaks, and input them manually :3 Would be nice to be able to tick off options to add in stuff like the Combat tweaks for Arrows/Bolts and other parts not covered in this awesome program yet.

GrantSP Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Looks good! Any chance of seeing the source code for 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) How can the screenshots look different when the program simply reorganizes the entries in the inis? :O_o: Edited November 29, 2015 by Octopuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
