Support NeoGAF

[Evolved1]

I went and made a PC performance thread. Nothing special right now but I just want to get some conversation going since this thread is getting busy too fast.

Thank you...

A general note about GameBryo: don't have all the sliders maxed out. Keep all the detail and effects to max, but the distance sliders can be reduced with minimal loss in visual fidelity.

 

[Khezu]

Wow this thread is moving fast!! :O

Got 60+ hours in the game. Anyone got any questions?

Are there any

Spoiler

Deadra in the game other then dremoras? Also are golden saints in

 

[arts&crafts]

Question if I get it off GMG right now can i get the key instantly and preinstall / vpn

What version ?

So I thought this game didn't support eyefinity at first, So I played the first few minutes like this:

But all I had to do was disable my top 3 and then have the game auto configure video options. If you do it yourself it doesn't give you the option so now I get this ultra panoramic view HOR+ which is proper eyefinity:

And here is a huge image with the game blown up if you're just wondering what it looks like (I prefer wider view):

 

[cackhyena]

So ambient light isn't a thing in this game, is it.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

For those waiting on VPNSecure because of the Empty Zip error, it has to do with a file they send you when you sign up. I'm sure the volume of people trying to get on is causing their mailserver to die. I'm in queue to find out when I'll be getting it.

Hold tight.

Does anyone know? I just want to rotate the camera to see my face lol

 

[herzogzwei1989]

Ah great, thanks! I don't think mine is overclocked, but it should still do a good job, I guess.

I'm in the same boat as you (smooth sailing i assume).

 

[arts&crafts]

Also, are there steam achievements? There are none on the preorder screen

Yes, more than 40.

You either don't have the HW or are stubborn. Performance absolutely does add to the impressiveness and overall immersion of a game. I thought a little like you before I got my new PC earlier this year. There is no argument. If you firmly believe in what you said then your opinion is severely flawed.

I'm not going to say better graphics don't help immersion, but if you play only one version of this game, you will most likely not have a different experience at all (I am stubborn, I actually did scientific research on the effect of different lighting models on user appraisal, from flat shading to hdr...nothing). Your previous performance need to have been some really crippling 2FPS for anything noticeable to come up. OR You have put the different versions side to side, like literally played it on low and then ultra high. But who does that in normal settings.

I think Blueninja commented earlier about not being able to rotate the camera while your weapon was drawn...

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's a neat effect but I find the black bars too distracting.

 

[Gvaz]

if you think good textures for a game with as many assets as this will come out in 6 months, i want the stuff you're smoking.

(please, i have 13 hours to kill)

uhhh look at any texture mod ever for the previous beth games??

I'm making a generalized statement out of personal experience.

 

[arts&crafts]

Yes, more than 40.

Sahweet, just adds to the replayability

 

[spekkeh]

OH LAWDIE

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Tab opens and closes menus

Oh, really? Hold the button that switches between 1st and 3rd person view. That should do the trick.

 

[DangerStepp]

RICH GUY SETUP

HHHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHH

Be my friend.

Does someone know the average time before good mods arrive (graphics wise, not new content or anything)?

Ah, this is more helpful than the non-answer I'm having so far in chat support. Literally, no answer. I thought it was strange I didn't get an e-mail after paying.

30 minute video of a guy walking from one end of the map to the other.

Wow, that's.. a lot of buttons.

 

[Ledsen]

Are there any risks involved in using a VPN for unlocking? Like Steam bans, removal of game etc? Should we play in offline mode after unlocking? If so, for how long?

Anybody?

 

[Phonomezer]

Sorry to ask this but this thread has been moving too fast for me to keep up, what version are you playing?

360 here.

 

[ShinNL]

Anybody?

Risk of VPN not working is all I can say.

Edit 1: Support helped me out, time to try and VPN this stuff :O

So many Skyrim servers, lol.

Edit 2: connecting is hard :O

PS. thefil is my Skyrim bro *brofist*

 

[Rapstah]

Posting from Australia. The trick to VPNSecure was that the "ERROR -- dev tun also requires ipconfig" error is just a load error. I picked Ukraine and got on without a hitch, and then tried Australia 2 instead of the designated Skyrim servers (which are getting loaded). Got on immediately.

EDIT: Won't Steam Guard go crazy on me now? The connection is obviously very slow but it's been stuck on logging into Steam for a while now.

You'll have simple little texture mods like ones that fix those awful swords within a few days of the construction set coming out.

 

[Augemitbutter]

So for us console peasants, has it been determined which is the better version?

[iAmMaximus]

Words cannot describe my excitement for this game.

 

[ttocs]

Yeah, they were pretty fast with it the last time. The big ones are going to take some time though.

 

[spk]

Thanks it worked

Oh yeah, forgot that the tools haven't been released yet.

 

[DangerStepp]

Good question. You would think that modders would have to spend an ample amount of time with the game before they could start working. However, Skyrim is using the same base engine so maybe that will give them the jump.

Perhaps you could search out early mods of Oblivion and compare their release date to that of the date of the game and see the span of time that lapsed to give us an idea that's at least ballpark.

Besides mountains popping in (not seen in this video but reported in this thread), I am impressed by the PS3 version.

Wow, that's.. a lot of buttons.

One day there will be a game with a playable area so large it'll take a full day to walk from one end to the other. I look forward to that day, but for now I think I'll still enjoy Skyrim.

 

[KageMaru]

360 here.

Can you tell if there's HDR lighting in the game? Heard it's not.

http://www.4players.de/4players.php...lls_V_Skyrim/PS3Xbox_360_Grafikvergleich.html

Hey thanks for the video, can't view it at work, but will have to check it out when I get home.

Oh, look what came in the mail today.

 

[Keasar]

Wait, people can already play on PC? What did I miss? Just picked up my game from the post office, nice cloth map included, smells ancient.

The whole Skyrim soundtrack..... 4 hours long:

You missed Australia being in the future.

 

[mandiller]

I've taken a load of PC screenshots. The game is running on max settings at 1080p. You can see the screens on my steam page here (It's not very spoilerish except for some early game locations)

The game is a nice step up from Oblivion. It's certainly not pushing the PC format, but it's quite reasonable.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

How big is a save file on X360?

 

[Keasar]

First Saxton Hale now this, damn ye!

Look at earlier conversations. Something about a VPN trick and Australia.

There is, and too heavily used for my preference.

 

[Quikies83]

My 360 is now giving me fits when trying to read discs -- maybe 2/10 times it will work...

Going to have to change my preorder to PS3 -- please don't let me down!!
