Papyrus Settings - Skyrim.ini

[blattgeist]

Hello everyone,

 

recently I came back to check my Skyrim Inis and discovered that there are still some pretty bad papyrus settings in my Skyrim.ini. So I checked "Skyrim Stability Guide" (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50244/?) and googled for "Skyrim STEP Papyrus" which brought me to this site: https://wiki.step-project.com/Guide_talk:Troubleshooting#Papyrus_Tweaks.

 

Edit: Weird if I click on the link that I posted here it shows a blank STEP page. Google shows contents...

 

I'll quote them then:

 

 

Papyrus Tweaks

An issue with installing many mods, especially script heavy ones, is that the default Papyrus ini settings are not fully capable of handling the additional stress. This tweak should increase stability, and needs to be added to the Skyrim.ini file under the [Papyrus] section. Your Skyrim.ini can be found in Windows 7 under the \Documents\My Games\Skyrim directory.

[Papyrus]

fUpdateBudgetMS=1.6

fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.6

fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0

bEnableLogging=0

bEnableTrace=0

bLoadDebugInformation=0

iMaxMemoryPageSize=8192

iMinMemoryPageSize=256

iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=8388608

Thanks go to Lumaan on the S.T.E.P. Community forums finding these!

 

 

The question is: Are the settings, which are mentioned on that STEP troubleshooting page, still up to date and recommended (especially for a script heavy setup)? I run a script heavy loadup with around ~180 plugins, Frostfall, ELFX, Apocalypse, Immersive Patrols and some other script intensive mods. I'd be glad for some recommended papyrus settings for such a case?

 

Cheers, Blattgeist.

 

 

Edit: My current/new settings:

fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=2.0
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000.0
iMinMemoryPageSize=256
iMaxMemoryPageSize=1024
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=115200
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0

I think most of this has been moved to the Skyrim Configuration Settings Guide. There are links in here to all the settings in the Skyrim.ini Guide and the SkyrimPrefs.ini Guide.

Fixed the link. It appears there is considerable content on the talk page that typically is not put on a talk page. Strange. I wouldn't trust it, to be honest. It all looks considerably outdated.

 

I have not tested Papyrus tweaks. fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS is the only one I would change as of now, setting it to its correct default value of 2000.

There is great info in that reddit article. Thanks for posting.

Alright, thanks for the input. I guess my settings are fine then.
