edynacio Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 My system specs are:Toshiba LX835-D3360 23-Inch All-in-One DesktopIntel Core i7 i7-3630QM (6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz) with Intel Turbo Boost Technology8 GB DDR31000 GB 7200 rpm Hard DriveNVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M, featuring 2GB of DDR3 discrete graphics memoryWindows 8Honningbrew Meadery = 18-21 FPSOutside Honningbrew Meadery (looking into the distance with Whiterun to the right) = 14-16 FPSIn front of Whiterun Doors (up the hill, looking into the further landscape) = 6-8 FPSI installed STEP as directed to the letter with INI tweaks for Skyrim and ENB.I also did a reset of INI files by restarting the Skyrim Launcher, allowing the suggested settings by the Launcher (very high), rather then the Ultra settings that I had prior, but with little improvement.Everything looks great and at 14-16 FPS the character moves pretty smoothly with minor stuttering (???). Very playable.It seems that with my system specs I should have way better FPS.Thank you for the hard work and this past week marathon in finalizing STEP 2.2.9.1
edynacio Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Ok it doesn't seem that this problem has to do with STEP setup.I lauched the game with as Vanilla baseline and I'm getting 20FPS Outside Honningbrew Meadery. Not a huge improvement from the 14-16FPS with STEP. It just seems that I should be getting way more then that.
EssArrBee Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 You probably should. Go to the launcher and lower all the distance sliders to about half way and maybe drop the shadow quality down a step. With ENB do you have the graphics part on or do you have only the ENBoost part on?

With ENB do you have the graphics part on or do you have only the ENBoost part on?I followed your direction. This is what I'm getting with STEP Extended (baseline quality) Honningbrew Meadery = 22-24 FPS vs 18-21 FPSOutside Honningbrew Meadery (looking into the distance with Whiterun to the right) = 14-16 FPS (no major changes, although with vanilla there was a significate improvement of 24-25 FPS vs 14-16 FPSIn front of Whiterun Doors (up the hill, looking into the further away landscape) = 15-16 FPS vs 6-8 FPS. This is were I noted the biggest improvement. The only enb files I have in my Skyrim folder are: d3d9.dll, enbhost.exe, endlocal.ini, enbseries.ini Here are the currect settings for enb: [MEMORY]ExpandSystemMemoryX64=falseReduceSystemMemoryUsage=trueDisableDriverMemoryManager=falseDisablePreloadToVRAM=falseEnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=falseReservedMemorySizeMb=512VideoMemorySizeMb=3746EnableCompression=trueAutodetectVideoMemorySize=false [WINDOW]ForceBorderless=trueForceBorderlessFullscreen=true [ENGINE]ForceAnisotropicFiltering=trueMaxAnisotropy=16ForceLodBias=falseLodBias=0.0AddDisplaySuperSamplingResolutions=falseEnableVSync=trueVSyncSkipNumFrames=0 (Doesn't seem that this issue has to do with STEP 2.2.9.1, I probably should start a new post under the troubleshooting post?)

TechAngel85 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 What is your screen resolution? 1080p I assume. Not sure you have the horsepower if vanilla is running in the 20s for FPS.

Not sure you have the horsepower if vanilla is running in the 20s for FPS.That's the conclusion I'm getting.When I bought my system a couple years ago I thought the specs by themselves would've been sufficient but apparently all-in-one pc's are not the best option for gaming. I'll be reading STEP hardware guide and considering building or buying a mini tower (I'm limited with space). Any good online places to start other then Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect? Thanks Edited June 23, 2015 by edynacio

somagaze Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) on Skyrim HD's Wiki page for hiding files:textures\landscape\frozenmarshice01.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshice01_n.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshgrass01.dds textures\landscape\frozenmarshgrass01_n.ddsAre out of alpha order. Also, I am guessing that textures\lod\dirt02_n.ddsshould be changed to "dirt02lod_n.dds" Also, in the FOMOD instructions for SMIM, there is an error in the installer for "Solitude Gate Doors." The installer has options of "Smelters" and "none." The Wiki says to select "Solitude Gate Doors." However, selecting "Smelters" in the installer points to the Solitude Gate Doors folder, so it just looks like a typo in the installer. Probably should say something about that in the Wiki.

Halde Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Not so much a bug, but perhaps a lag of description. If one (me for instance) is running a laptop (or SLI/dual graphics), I think it would be a good service to add the options of the Optimus Fix and/or Injector version. While you do mention the Injector version, you fail to mention that one needs to remanage the launcher list when using SKSE and the Injector in the enbinjector.ini. I don't know if you support the use of the Optimus Fix, nor if it is as effective as Injector version. Just a thought worth considering.

Karnov Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 In the Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade detailed instructions it says: "Complete Crafting_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.espLoad after:Weapons & Armor_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.esp" I think it should read "Complete Crafting Overhaul_Remade.esp" instead of "Complete Crafting_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.esp

It's been updated to download an optional file which installs the new ESP for the leveled list.

Tech will need to confirm this I think, as I am not set up with the latest config to verify.
Gentester Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I think I have this right but bear with me if I have got something wrong - its been a long day................ Could some additional info be added to the installation pages on the Enhanced Lighting for ENB-LITE. Reason is that the mod won't work with any location that has changed a lighting template added roombounds or roommarkers etc (i.e. probably most modded player homes, for example; Breezehome springs to mind as its heavily modded and I know of several Breezehomes which have added roombounds). Appreciate that's nothing to do with STEP but many players will possibly have, or want to have, Step core and also the odd modded home. Would be easier to make the decisions if that info was included. Also the blue info banner on the additional instructions suggests that ELE installation can be skipped but (I think) its a master in the step core patch and that should maybe be mentioned as well?
