Same here, though I am getting the blocky, flickering shadows at Ultra even. It's really jarring.Phandy said:

There must be a way to set the dead zone on the right stick. I know joytokey has a dead zone setting that helped me for some games since I get a bit of a drift on the sticks too if the dead zone is set to 0%, but those games were without controller support. Not sure how to go about changing the dead zone on 360 controller supported games.

I believe you can do something with the shadow setting maybe put in more shadow quarters they are using Cascaded shadow maps if i look at the ini option.
So I did that OGSSAA magic and the game now renders at 1.5 times my native resolution with FXAA enabled. I had to set my refresh rate to 50Hz but the game now looks a lot better than before.
Quick question in regards to OGSSAA: If a game renders at twice the resolution it's called 2x2 OGSSAA? By that logic I would have 1.5x1.5 OGSSAA?
I'll have to try what happens to my performance if I go for straight up twice the res, but overall I'd say OGSSAA with FXAA beats the other AA modes. Love it!
The short time I tried it just now I got a pretty solid 50 fps indoors and an average of 40fps outdoors. Now I'll try to fool around with the other settings to see if I can squeeze some more fps out of them.

Shadow fix, it seem to be working for some, but i dont see any change. Maybe it depends of area?
I'll try playclaw.
-edit-
Hmm Playclaw works, so one problem solved.

It doesnt work for me. Making shot in Fraps still crashes the game on 2x2 OGSSAA, even after making it large address aware. Funny that frapsing video works [in half res] and making shot works also on 1.5x1.5 OGSSAA.TheOctagon said:

I'm playing PC Oblivion right now, does Skyrim have Oblivions framerate issues in combat? It could just be my aging PC, but I am well past Oblivions requirements (Phenom 945 3.4GHz, 8800GT). I'll basically cruise along at 60fps at 1680x1050 (medium detail, no AA, etc) but take a serious dive in combat. 1v1 will see the fps cut in half, lord help ya if it's 3+ enemies because you're looking at around 10-12 fps.
I plan on a new video card Dec / Jan (6870 most likely) which may help, but if you guys with better systems still have terrible fps in combat situations it may not help as much as I'd like to think

Like a goon, I accidentally edited out a decent chunk of the OP before I went to bed last night fml
I'm having some troubles with Skyrim crashing frequently. I'm hoping anyone here knows why
When it crashed the first time it was right after i saw something like this:
It crashed to desktop. When i launched the game everything seemed fine but now, every once in a while, it crashes to desktop. It happens pretty much every hour or less. Everything seems to be fine and it just crashes (usually after/during a loading screen).
Those screenshots were taken today (it happened again). When it happened the first time it was only to the plants on the ground like in the last screenshot.
I'm running it on:
2500k @ 4.5Ghz
8Gb ram
GTX570 w/ 285.79 drivers
All maxed out, 1080p, FXAA and some tweaks (i dont think i had any tweaks when it crashed the first time):
mouse smoothing off,
iPresentInterval to 0,
bTreesReceiveShadows=1 and bDrawLandShadows=1
fov 85

Is there a way to get this game to run in a custom resolution.
I quite like to game in super widescreen mode. I've got a custom resolution of 1920x816 set via the nVidia control panel but Skyrim doesn't pick it up. Lots of other games do.
Any ideas?

This. And I thought the shadows were just bugged and late to move into place, until after a few seconds when I saw them shift a few inches again.Corky said:
I guess having them move in real time would have made the already jaggy shadows more horrifying.

Can any of you guys please give me some insight as to if the performance I'm getting is normal or not?
Here's my rig (laptop):
i7-2630QM
4 GB RAM
Geforce GT540M 1 GB
latest drivers installed
I'm getting around 28 fps indoors, with drops to around 20 fps or worse during fights;
and 20 fps outdoors.
I'm running the game on low settings, with vsync and mouse acceleration (supposedly) deactivated.
The game initially identified my system as medium settings but it was litteraly unplayable.
Help?

Has anyone with the appearing/reappearing/flickering texture problem actually managed to fix it? I keep hearing a lot of suggestions that are met with "that didn't work...".
My setup:
2500K (4.7ghz)
2x 6950s (Crossfire)
4 GB RAM
Crucial C3 SSD
I have tried a) disabling crossfire, b) using the Oblivion profile in Radeon Pro, and c) using alternate frame rendering. Nothing has fixed it so far. Haven't tried SSAA yet.

I read a lot of that too here and on a few other forums. I don't know what's the problem really as I don't have the game yet but know enough to see this is a broken release in that regard. That or the wrong ini's are being edited.catapult37 said:

It really is a very pretty game at times
Using TheOctagon's tweaks om a 5870 and i7920 @ 3.8 and it stays a 50-60 most places. playing it slow while waiting for the mods to pour in

hide your water-based mammals
I swear this game needs patching and new drivers from both manufacturers. SOme things work for some but not for others. ini files are both in my documents and in the steamapps folder. And just odd performance that doesn't take advantage of HW like it should. All the while it's a great game.iNvidious01 said:

what kind of frame rate do you guys get with OGSSAA? i was thinking of going to get a gtx 570 later on today. i've got a 6950 right now that will go in another system. i could also go 6950 XFire if there was some kind of method to do it on ATI but I need to upgrade the other computer anyway so whatever

So they just downright lied about the required specs (not that it would be a first but still)? According to that systemrequirement tool I (we) should "have a great experience running this product"First Children said:

Try editing in Skyrim.ini to the following - fdefaultfov=80 (work your way up to gauge your own interest). Intervals of 10.GuiltybyAssociation said:

No, that dude is having some kind of other issue, I believe.

As far as running a GT540M in an otherwise similar configuration, that sounds like it's within the range I remember for that card. But the thing is, neither of you guys mentioned what resolution you're running at at all - it's a huge missing piece of the puzzle. If you guys are running on ridiculous 1920x1080 screens, you're going to have to drop that resolution down to open up the performance.

Yeah forgot about that, I'm running it at 1366x768.foogles said:
It runs better than I expected on my system:
AMD Phenom II 1090T @ 3.2GHz
4GB DDR3 @ 1600
GTX260
Everything at max except for shadows (high) and I have applied almost everything mentioned in the OT and run this game at 40-60fps outside.
What I would like to try is the CSAA via NvidiaInspector but the game keeps crashing if I activate it while having 4xMSAA in the Skyrim settings and does not work at all if I put AA to off in the Skyrim settings. Is CSAA not available on my card or did I do something wrong?

Tried this prior to console editing actually, no degree of .ini FOV tweaking ever actually worked for me. Very odd. I'm going to revert to a prior save, see if that's fine. Again, I hadn't changed a thing, so I really don't understand why my FOV defaults like this. It genuinely hurts my eyes after twenty or so minutes so I really hope this works :/

My specs:
I7-930 stock settings
4gb ram
1gb gtx 460 with stock settings
Getting solid 60 fps for the most part (drops to 40ish are the lowest it's been). The only graphics problem I had was when I first launched the game the sky would flicker like crazy. Saved and got the latest drivers and the games been smooth since.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm playing on high and not ultra.
Yeah it happened me once or twice, but its usually more random (both times I was just walking around in the wilderness)

Can anyone suggest a way to map quick save F5 to a 360 controller?

You could try mapping joy2key and make a 1 binding profile. Not sure if that's the best method but it's the first thing that comes to mind.EternalGamer said:

For those also using this what kind of computer do you have? Also does OGSSAA prevent programs like DXTORY from taking screenshots? It's not taking them I have to use prntscr. Do I just need to add another custom resolution if I want to drop it down to 1.25 or 1.5x?

Strange, suddenly (2 times in the last hour) my pc just switches to the desktop and the game's gone. Is this a common problem, or is there a known fix for that? No error message, nothing.
