Hopefully with the creation kit. Some kind soul will finally fix all the stereoscopic 3D issues so that the game will be perfect.

 

[Jtrizzy]

lol I guess they missed a spot...this is not a comparison shot even though it looks split down the middle.

 

[Enco]

Found the core!

:lol

Core: Dad are you proud?
Core pretending to be dad: Yes I am son
Core: Dad are you space?
Core pretending to be dad: Yes I am son
Core pretending to be dad: Now we are family again

Something like that.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

I'm still confused about how these work and install through the workshop... there is no debugging process or anything... guess it's trial and error time

 

[Enco]

So sexy!

Not sure if the trees are from the high res pack or a mod.

Does the high res pack include humans? Can I delete the Xenius stuff?

 

[Confidence Man]

lol I guess they missed a spot...this is not a comparison shot even though it looks split down the middle.

That's a result of the model being scaled up I believe. There are only two rock textures in the whole game, not a lot to miss lol.

 

[neoism]

This should be sexy as fuck.

Screw you Skyrim HD 2k or whatever!

guys should I delete all of my texture mods... I downloaded the tex pack and its just adding it to my game in steam... ?

 

[Refreshment.01]

To repeat the question again, how is performance and load times affected by the texture pack?

Can you disable it?

 

[Sethos]

What the fuck, I can't even start the game without getting a busy error.

 

[Jtrizzy]

Found the core!

:lol

Core: Dad are you proud?
Core pretending to be dad: Yes I am son
Core: Dad are you space?
Core pretending to be dad: Yes I am son
Core pretending to be dad: Now we are family again

Something like that.

Is this the portal mod? I can't get it to show up in game. It appears to be installed correctly and I have it checked off.

 

[Enco]

You can do if you want. If you would rather go Vanilla then yes.

Not 100% what textures it changes (humans?).

To repeat the question again, how is performance and load times affected by the texture pack?

Can you disable it?

No performance hit as far as I'm aware.

Yes you can.

You get two .ESP's that you can uncheck.

Yup.

I

was walking outside of Whiterun and heard him. He's next to the Western Watchtower in a burnt down building. Look for smoke.

 

[Jtrizzy]

I'm really not seeing much effect at all for either. I tested it at the water wheel in markarth. 2600k@4.2/580

yes it is easily disabled.


Enco, how did you figure that out lol. I'm not smart enough for Valve's crafty arg type stuff.

 

[burgerdog]

hi res

vanilla

hi res

Yes, hi res pack 1 and 2 are on in the data files. There's probably still something wrong and it's not activated.

edit
Oh, look at the fur in picture one, that's a bit better so IT IS working.

Thanks for the answers people. Another question, what's the location of the texture pack? I was thinking in doing a joint to move them to a quicker hard disk to see if i get less of an impact.

 

[Psychoward]

oh my god


I might double dip now


Edit; Does it have native 360 controller support? And if not, is it easy to set up?

 

[Cannon Goose]

So what's the performance hit like? Curious to see whether 3GB worth of slightly higher res textures is worth it or not.

 

[StopMakingSense]

oh my god

I might double dip now

Edit; Does it have native 360 controller support? And if not, is it easy to set up?

Very native.

 

[SlickVic]

Lighter Dragon Scales And Bones seems pretty awesome. Always annoys me when I kill a dragon and get overencumbered carrying all that stuff.

 

[Enco]

It's just two esp files in the Data folder.

You tick em if when you open the launcher and click Data Files.

oh my god

Edit; Does it have native 360 controller support? And if not, is it easy to set up?

Yup it does.

Go for it.

So what's the performance hit like? Curious to see whether 3GB worth of slightly higher res textures is worth it or not.

No hit for me.

 

[burgerdog]

So what's the performance hit like? Curious to see whether 3GB worth of slightly higher res textures is worth it or not.

Seemed roughly the same and I'm using w7 32bit so I only have 3.25gb and 1gb vram.

 

[neoism]

so guys I guess since these tex pack is a esp file it will overwrite all my other textures. They're just in the texture folder.... Did you guys delete yours I'm not sure what to do? :/

 

[Confidence Man]

Looks like only a very slight improvement, barely even noticeable. The farmhouse textures I have make tables and wood look a hell of a lot better than that.

 

[maniac-kun]

Its not intended to use any mods that are not installed via Steam workshop so delete them.

 

[MNC]

I heard the robot from the space mod but can't find him..

I feel that the texture mod is pretty awesome. The game looks a lot better now. Up close its not stunning but it's pretty awesome!

Same. The game in general doesn't look as washed out. It's an overall improvement to me, though I can understand for the people that expected more out of it. Generally no performance hit makes it awesome, too.

 

[Card Boy]

So what does the Hi Res Pack do? Does it effect clothing, faces and bodies? I'm slowly downloading as we speak.

 

[Jtrizzy]

I still can't find the portal thing. I saw a destroyed house, but no smoke coming out of it near the western watchtower, but I couldn't find it.

 

[ColonialRaptor]

So you just click 'Subscribe' and that's it?

WTF? What about different options and all that? Is it really that easy?

Edit - omg I can't keep up, so many mods!!! Wholly Crap!

 

[MNC]

So you just click 'Subscribe' and that's it?

WTF? What about different options and all that? Is it really that easy?

That's it. You get all the updates of the mod (hence they call it subscribe) and it downloads it next time you start skyrim.

 

[therealminime]

Open Cities is pretty fantastic. I love being able to wander in and out without the load times and I very much look forward to having all the cities open. But it does hurt performance a fair bit. Outside Markarth I drop to about 25 fps running Ultra at 1440p with a 2600k and a GTX 580, but really, it doesn't bother me that much.

 

[MNC]

Also, since Skyrim was the only major release of 2011 without Nolan North in it, you should consider this mod a patch to fix that problem. You can now feel free to include Skyrim in the "Nolan North" section of your video game library, which is to say, your video game library.

:lol :lol :lol

Since installing the texture pack I'm having SERIOUS hitching and 2-3 second freezes while traveling around the world. I assume this is my computer having trouble loading up the new grids quick enough with the higher res textures?

Does this mean 1GB Vram isn't enough? I can't imagine any of my other mods would really overload like this:

Quality World Map
Believable Hair
Enhanced Distant Terrain
Enhanced Distant Trees Higher-Poly Skyrim
HiRes Legible Road Signs
Increased Character Height
Killable Children
Lush Trees
No NPC Greetings
Realistic Lighting without Post Processing
Realistic Ragdolls & Force
Realistic Water Textures
Skyrim Flora Overhaul (Hi Res version)
Skyrim iHUD
SkyUI
Wars in Skyrim 1.4 Normal
Xenius Character Enhancement

 

[Khal_B]

After installing the texture patch from Steam the game won't even launch for me. I keep getting: "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim failed to start (error code 51)". That's pretty messed up. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[electristan]

this is ridiculous! cant wait for more mods to show up. when all the ones im using are there i might just backup my save and do a fresh install, and sub to them all.

poor skyrimnexus

Lush trees, water textures, enhanced distant trees, enhanced distant terrain would add to you VRAM usage i would think at the very least.

I noticed this too, but then I found out it was actually autosaving ;D

I'd definitely not dead... You can subscribe to mods via the Steam Community system, or you can download them through the Nexus and do it manually... I think I will still prefer to do most things manually because I have more control that way.

fair point and i wish them the best, the nexus sites have been great through the years. i'll be staying with them to for the a while to see how this whole thing works out , but damn its impressive.

 

[neoism]

wow sooo glad I didn't delete my other textures. I load my game and it over wrote everythang... my beautiful sky, and my awesome daedric gauntlets... thanks beth but no thanks.

 

[Legit`]

I'm assuming ENB profiles won't be coming through the steam workshop?

 

[Oppo]

Got some hitching (iMac quad-i5, 6970M 1GB VRAM, 12GB RAM) after the new hi rez textures installed, but seems mostly focused on loading items. Will tweak.
This is on a vanilla Skyrim btw.

The books look a lot sharper now. :/

 

[Karak]

I am not getting this. The texture file found your texture files and deleted them? That doesn't sound right at all. Or is Bethesda's tex mod loose files? It should be a bsa.

no beths tex pack is two esp files. All my other texture mods are from nexus, and I always download them manually. I checked the two esps and it just over wrote to other textures like they were not there. Plus it took like 5 minutes to start in steam. I does change characters too. My characters face was waaay worse with beths texs on. so o'while.

Nothing was overwritten. Skyrim is loading the BSA files with the high res textures via the ESPs in your Data File list/mod list. Nobody knows quite sure yet how priority works. Wyre Bash has the ability to automatically re-date BSAs, but it's still unknown if that matters as it does with ESPs.

Well then...you just remove the ESPS. It didn't overwrite anything at all. They go by date (supposedly) and so the ESP is newer than the esp and thus it takes priority. You are good to go.

 

[neoism]

also I'm dum so does anyone thing they know how to make so arrow are invisible on the character in third person. All of them look like shit. :/ This thang is deep, like a game itself.

lol I know mang I just deleted the esps in the data folder,( not sure if there is a way to uninstall it from steam) but it loaded up just fine My sky and my gauntlets and everything is back to normal thanks anyways. <3

 

[maniac-kun]

Amazing how many mods are allready in the workshop Cant wait for the alternative start mod. Hope it hits this week.

 

[Karak]

After my music mods and the Krull Castle mod. I am going all out and making my own version of Dwarves or Draconions. I can't decide which.

 

[Enco]

Nice OP update Liquid!

Personally I think Skyboost and Tytanis should be removed from the featured section.

It's amazing how there are already around 150 mods on the workshop :lol
