Read my post above.

Looks like the v1.2 of the Standard Textures got uploaded! :-)

[TechAngel85]

Yep! Thank you BlindJudge!

Was downloading the Standard Optimized Textures last night when the download corrupted, the STEP Nexus page went hidden, and the page came back up about an hour later with the Standard Optimized Textures link removed. Same bug?

The file got deleted on accident. I was uploading the new files and when I went to delete a file the optimized textures got deleted instead. Might be a bit before it's up again because the Nexus admins have to add the file manually because we can't get files over 2GB to upload correctly.

Oops.  

 

I'll just keep my eyes peeled, thanks for the heads-up.

I'm really confused, just trying to follow the STEP Core guide and I don't see a mention of this patch or "optional files" anywhere on the linked page. And of course the NMM download link just gives the whole big thing. What do I do?

[TechAngel85]

On our Nexus page: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11/?

 

Listed under "Optional Files" there are two versions. Install one.

[CrashGordon94]

As I said, I couldn't find that anywhere.

Just now clicked on the "Files" tab and THEN found it.

[CrashGordon94]

Okay, just got another issue, I downloaded the standard version but when I double-click it gives me this error:

Nothing in the Archives tab either.

That indicates that the file was corrupted. Either on initial upload or download...since you are the only one reporting this, I assume it is download.

 

If downloading with the "download with manager" button, make sure your antivirus is not running a scan at the same time. Might be a good idea to add your MO folder to your antivirus' exclusions list.

 

You could try downloading manually and adding the file yourself in MO after it is downloaded through the "add from file" button.

I downloaded with Mod Manager, didn't have Antivirus running or anything, but the connection might've messed up, tried again and it seems to have worked with "STEP DLC Optimized Textures - Standard.bsa" and "STEP Vanilla Optimized Textures - Standard.bsa" under "archives", and it seems to boot alright. Thank you!

I'm having the same problem and unfortunately unless I can find an alternate source for this file it means im done with STEP. Ideally there should always be an alternate source for files that large because funneling access to a ~3GB file to a single HTTP download is pretty much asking for problems with the download.

There isn't anything wrong with the file, just with the connection you have and the server Nexus assigns you for that download.

If you are trying to get this file via MO, or even NMM, try manually downloading it with your browser instead. Windows may be interfering with the multiple connections that are used to grab these larger files and it may think MO is trying to do something odd.

Downloading it through the browser worked, so I managed to get things up and running for the most part (got a lighting issue I'm sorting out atm but that's likely unrelated to problems downloading a texture pack lol)
