z929669 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Given that nobody is going to provide testing feedback on my previous post that I have glaringly placed in everyone's faces to no avail, I have made an executive decision and edited the ENBoost mod note according to what I know to be the simplest way for users to get a nice working config (assuming that everyone will achieve a result similar to my own or at least a result as good as or better than using any other settings). The mod note is not meant as a starting config for ENB, but for STEP and other config recommendations in the new guide. The ENB Guide will also need to jive better with this (not necessarily reflecting, but definitely not contradicting), but I will leave that to folks that have been working on that guide.

torminater Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ah dammit. I really wanted to do the testing on that, but I have my family over on the weekend, and one major exam coming up soon after :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want more to confirm that it is broadly applicable ... or not. I also think it might be a revelation for some and change their experience drastically. It was for me.

SSL Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 @z: Are we supposed to do that testing on Vanilla+USKP or Step 2.2.8? If step then this would be a small pita - I'd most likely create whole new mods/ for this, separate from SR:LE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ2311 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 z, I'm not sure what exactly what kind of feedback you're looking for, but on the matter of the vsync, I can say that running ENBoost with the FPS limiter alone used to cause stuttering for me, but I got rid of it by disabling the FPS limiter and enabling V sync instead. As for my system, I'm using a 60Hz monitor and- With AMD Radeon HD 6870 (1GB VRAM) + an old STEP Install : stutters when using FPS limiter, no noticeable problems with V-Sync + limiter/ V-Sync alone. (This was a while ago, back when ENBoost was still new-ish)- With AMD Radeon R9 280X (3GB VRAM) + current SR:LE with added mods : Didn't even bother to try the FPS limiter due to previous experience, and had no problems with those settings either : [ENGINE] ForceAnisotropicFiltering=true MaxAnisotropy=16 AddDisplaySuperSamplingResolutions=false EnableVSync=true VSyncSkipNumFrames=0 [LIMITER] WaitBusyRenderer=false EnableFPSLimit=false FPSLimit=60.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 @admin and Mods, I know there's a lot to do but I hope you guy have been able to keep up with the anthology threads. There's a lot going on over there that will probably affect the Guide and STEP mods. Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelmych Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Should we mention that the enblocal.ini changes in the new guide should be used vs. the ones in ENBoost 5.0 on Nexus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot going on over there that will probably affect the Guide and STEP mods. Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk. Pretty sure I've made note to address them, or already taken care of it for 2.2.8. Might need to make it current for 2.2.7 as well, though. Should we mention that the enblocal.ini changes in the new guide should be used vs. the ones in ENBoost 5.0 on Nexus? I think we should just say 'don't use the nexus ENBoost' and then users will just use the STEP instructions we provide them. This will help if we ever decide to turn on any effects... *cough* shadows *cough*... *cough* SSS *cough*... Maybe we could bug Aiyen to make a very minimalist profile that only has shadows and parallax and very little performance cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Agree that the Nexus mod is not necessary. Boris has pretty much abandoned it anyway by the look. If he ever updates it , we can use it (but that enblocal.ini is missing several useful switches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakedo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The new version of SkyFalls already includes Windmills Resized. We should probably remove it from the Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Confirmed, SMIM actually includes the mesh too. SMIM-> Windmill Resized They are the same so Windmill Resized should be dropped. Thanks for pointing that out Sakedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasmori Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The Conflicting Graphics section has you install "Enhanced Distant Terrain 2" Then in the following Landscape & Environment section, you are then asked to install the older "Enhanced Distant Terrain" mod. I am guessing this is a mistake? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
