STEP 2.0.0

[D1Z4STR]

Is STEP 2.0.0 scheduled for a release this year or is it looking like it could be in Q1 of next year?

Maybe December, but we still have a lot of things to work out and finalize. Anyone can help with mods in 'testing' with the '2.0.0' tag. There are a lot of meshes that need testing with/without ENB using the lighting and weather mods. Other mod testing needed as well.

Installing 2.0 atm from scratch (only have post processing and lod sections left to do), so i will soon be running around testing.

I'm mainly responsible for the ENB and patching.

The ENB is far from complete and not available for public download so that will be one part users installing v2.0 won't have. Hopefully it won't take too long to finish up, though. I'm waiting for testing to be more complete as some of it will affect the ENB and I don't desire to keep reworking things. So when Z and DY's current testing that they're doing is more complete and on the Guide, I will replicate on my end and start working on the ENB again.

The Patches are another thing not available to the public, so this will be something else users are missing. The Patches are probably 90% complete with the remaining 10% being resolutions for additional mods added later, review, and cleanup.

Just finished install the current version of 2.0 and... OMG! It is so much better than 1.0 already.

Installed everything as presented in the guide.

In the LOD section i did all for 4k, except TexGen where i did the QHD (stupid me). Will go for 4k here to next time.

Using the current Cathedral Minimalist ENB from Nexus with ENBSeries 0.456.

Also using the CR & LW patch from Nexus. So maby i crash. :o

Running around in Riften forrest i get 75-115 fps!

It looks silk smooth, insane good and so nice i wanna cry.

You have DynDOLOD with ultra trees enabled? That's pretty good FPS. In Cathedral Minimalist ENB, you will want to enable water and some of the other main effects to better approximate our forthcoming ENB (Dragonborn version). So you will likely lose about 10 frames with those adds.

Turned on a bunch of effects and lost almost 10 as you said.

Ultra trees, yes.

So about 70-100 around riften just running around. 

ENB Lights really make the butterflies pop at night!

I am not that fond of the embers in the fire pits in the inns atm. Way to much embers in Embers XD... will be hotter than a sauna in  there.

For embers XD, be sure to choose less particles or flying embers or whatever it's called.

Yea did that.

Nice!  Didn't even realize there was a 2.0 STEP guide.  Just finished the 1.0 guide but after seeing this I may need to wait to start a new play-through.

V2 is still under development.

Yup, I don't mind waiting a few months or more.  I'll still play around in my V1 install but I'll wait to do a serious play-through once V2 replaces V1.  Looking forward to it.

In it's current form is V2 ready for AE?

[DoubleYou]

No. Some of the mods will not work with AE as it currently stands. We're waiting to see if/when those mods will be updated to include compatibility.

How about compatibility with SkyrimSE 1.6.x?
Or is STEP 2.0.0 still currently only compatible with SkyrimSE 1.5.97?
(Once SKSE64 is updated, of course.)
