SSR in SSE break when applying "recommended tweaks"

[coldharmonics]

Hello,

Love the tool, having this issue.

In SSE, the Screen Space Reflections no longer renders if the Recommended Tweaks cheakbox is ever ticked. Have to revert to old ini or regenerate from scratch. Preset style or level doesn't seem to matter, all that seems to matter is whether recommend tweak checkbox was ticked. Doesn't seem to be tied to any of the obvious values, could be wrong. Still testing. Will update if I find anything. 

I am running game vanilla through vanilla launcher. I have a few instances of MO but not using them for testing this. Latest BethINI on SSE nexus. Had issue with slightly older version, updated, still occurs. 

Log attached. 

Cheers!

The problem is where the reflections bug out. They look good until they look buggy. Our guide is based on Realistic Water Two, which recommends this setting for this reason.

After over an hour I found the issue. Recommended tweaks add this line: 

fWaterSSRIntensity=0.5

In both vanilla and modded this makes ssr virtually nonexistent. The difference between this and off is not noticeable. 

Please reconsider this. Near trees etc. are entirely missing from reflections. 

(Latest game version. Let me know if I can provide more information or screenshots.)

For reference here are vanilla screenshots. In retrospect the SSR is there but its so faint that it's not really doing anything, the water looks very bright as if there are no near reflections.

Default Value (line not present in inis):

 

Recommended Tweaks (fWaterSSRIntensity=0.5):

 
 

Please at least add this setting to the app so people know it's there and that it is changing.

Fair enough, SSR has artifacts, and making them more subtle may be desired. However, the app does not identify this setting to the user, and the user may want something different from the recommendation. It would be a great addition to BethINI to be able to control this setting alongside the other SSR settings.

Every change can be seen in the Summary of Changes window. Every setting can be changed in the Custom tab.

I have largely frozen development of BethINI except for major issues while I continue to develop its successor Bethini Pie.
