That looks nice, D. Is there a performance drop with using the new water shaders?

Believe it or not, not much.

 

[KKRT00]

Omfg, i've just read about patch and i had steam turned on! Fortunately i'm overprotective for exe files and copied it before applying LAA [irony right?].

BTW i've predicted it!

Funny how so many people were happy about it though ;\

You can just drop the folder in and overwrite everything.

Which folder? Before I just downloaded the 7Z file and put it in the data folder. Was that wrong?

 

[Enco]

Fuck the mod manager. It's a buggy piece of crap that doesn't work.

I'll give it a month or so.

Same here. I love the idea and it's still in beta so I'm being patient. I like the organization and ease of use and the mod he just posted is the first one to give me the "file not found" error in the app.

You saying I could drop the files (in the Data folder) and the manager will still recognize them? So for the future I can do a successful uninstall if need be?

 

[bananaman1234]

Download the 7z file and extract the folder "textures" out. Place the "textures" folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data folder.

Yup that error was the final strike. The interface is pretty ugly, I've had a crazy amount of crashes and lots of general bugs and issues. Not worth the hassle right now.

You can only get 2.1.0 of Driver Sweeper, because "Update- until further notice we will only host v2.1 as Marcel decided to add annoying ad-ware installers inside the Driver-Sweeper setup, which we are strongly against / oppose to."

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1655

Not true.

http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper-310.html

Author's website has 3.1.

Please research before linking people to old, outdated software.

 

[Kyaw]

Wooops, CTD!

So do i just put back my non LAA .exe?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yea, no mods are DL'ing through the manager now and I get an error. I'm not dealing with this right now as I had to go like 15 minutes ago so I will simply uninstall and re install later. They better patch that up as I want to use it!

Tried a reinstall, no go. I'm out ><

 

[bloodforge]

Awesome, my game crashes now when I try to fast travel. Was having zero issues until the "patch" today.

 

[Arcipello]

getting a lot of crashes today... any thing changed recently? whats all the LAA stuff?

 

[Aptos]

Not true.

His link doesn't even contain a download, Guru3D has totally stopped hosting it.

Does Driver Sweeper 3.1 have the adware?

Also, what the F is with this game stuttering while looking at fires and candles? Fraps reports a solid 60fps, but it seems like 30fps if I look at a bunch of candles or the blue beams of light at the Mage College. This drives me nuts!

I put a little note up next to the patch note on the 11-21 news entry. If you need help, ask around. Sorry for being passive as I gotta go !

 

[dc89]

Alright! The update is up!

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=711

Really nice, thanks alot for this.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

If someone could PM me with a location where I can download the original 1.1 version of the TESV.exe, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

[SpacedCadette]

So, if I was planning on picking Skyrim up over the holidays and using LAA to take advantage of my 16GB of RAM, I'm going to be forced into this new .exe/patch no matter what, right?

 

[BoobPhysics101]

If someone could PM me with a location where I can download the original 1.1 version of the TESV.exe, I would greatly appreciate it.

Same here. Steam stealth updated my game.

 

[Haunted]

Looks like I'll avoid the patch for now. Never change a running Bethesda game.

 

[ScRYeD]

So I would like some feedback on my new water update. My goal was to calm the water and reduce specularity. Anyone care to test and report back?

http://www.mediafire.com/?drlwccb2x8xike4

i'm not in a position to test it out yet, when i get back home i will. Someone check Dawnstar and see if the waters flowing the right way in the bay where the ship is in the middle of the town.

The water flows towards the ship, with the mod uploaded to skyrimnexus.

 

[Kyaw]

Here's the original 1.1 exe BEFORE LAA.

EDIT: The water mod is amazing, isoku!

Keep it up.

 

[Stitch]

2 crashes in 15 minutes. nice patch.&#8206; (&#9583;°&#9633;°&#65289;&#9583;&#65077; &#9531;&#9473;&#9531;

 

[Rekubot]

I noticed these CTDs happens almost everytime i fast travel or wait (too bad i have to, since my dumb companion get stuck every few minutes).

Yep, just played 20 minutes in a dungeon and now I find I can't quick travel anywhere. Always worked fine before, never had a CTD before, even. Guess I'll wait for the next patch.

 

[KKRT00]

Same here. Steam stealth updated my game.

My exe [version without LAA]

[BoobPhysics101]

Thanks guys.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Awesome, with the new patch I got a CTD within 2 min of playing.

 

[UrbanRats]

Thanks guys, i'll try with LAA now.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Thanks for the upload. I'm still at work, but please let me know if I have this right as a way to fix the patch problems.

1. Backup the new .exe that was downloaded with the patch.
2. Overwrite/replace the new .exe with the original 1.1 .exe file (pre-LAA patch).
3. Reapply LAA patch.

This should allow me to play the game with the new patch and keep the .exe LAA?

Correct.

And turn off auto-updating for Skyrim.

 

[neoism]

ok how do you know the version of the game... I though it was in the top right corner.... I restarted steam, and it downloaded a patch and it worked just fine....

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Can someone write a step by step guide to using the pre-patched exe?

 

[NBtoaster]

Yep, just played 20 minutes in a dungeon and now I find I can't quick travel anywhere. Always worked fine before, never had a CTD before, even. Guess I'll wait for the next patch.

Sounds like its being caused by the autosave (it saves during wait or fast travel). You can turn autosave off.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Um just curious, does anyone actually have this 1.2 patch? Because I guess mine didn't update after all, and Bethesda said it was coming after Thanksgiving.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Download the 7z file and extract the folder "textures" out. Place the "textures" folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data folder.

Thanks. Water looks amazing by the way!

 

[Angelus Errare]

get the prepatched exe and drop it in common/skyrim and overwrite the new exe

 

[KKRT00]

Can someone write a step by step guide to using the pre-patched exe?

To install it, just set steam to manual downloads for Skyrim, close it, override exe, use LAA and launch steam again.

 

[Nekrono]

AMD Catalyst 11.11a Performance Driver is out.

Includes fixes and performance increases for Skyrim, BF3, Rage and Batman AC.

 

[Victrix]

I can't seem to launch the game with RadeonPro anymore, it just brings up the launcher, despite launching with TESV.exe

Thank you stealth patch Any workarounds?

 

[Moaradin]

No Saints Row, which is like their main issue right now?

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Alright cheers. Do I need to set Steam to offline mode as well?

 

[iNvid02]

tip from skyrim forums, right click the .exe and windows will have previous versions
saved (assuming you have system protection on, it should be unless you disabled it).

just restore the old exe

 

[Erethian]

Um just curious, does anyone actually have this 1.2 patch? Because I guess mine didn't update after all, and Bethesda said it was coming after Thanksgiving.

This isn't the 1.2 patch so far as I know, just a change to the TESV.exe that prevents you from running an altered version. Such as making it LAA.

But I'd kept a backup of TESV.exe when I first made it LAA, so disabled auto-updating for Skyrim and used that, no problems.

 

[natethegreat409]

63 hours into Skyrim and the game has become unplayable... In the past 30 minutes I've CTD'd atleast 5 times. I haven't changed any settings or anything. It was running fairly stable till today. =(

 

[Forkball]

Pardon my ignorance but what is LAA and why did the new patch break it?

 

[ScRYeD]

Yea, no mods are DL'ing through the manager now and I get an error. I'm not dealing with this right now as I had to go like 15 minutes ago so I will simply uninstall and re install later. They better patch that up as I want to use it!

when skyrimnexus.com is having website trouble it can time out the download and the mod manager thinks it has downloaded the file but it actually hasn't and that causes crashes.

 

[KKRT00]

Alright cheers. Do I need to set Steam to offline mode as well?

No

 

[frozzted]

Not true.

I was talking about guru3d's site. Sorry, I should've been more clear.

 

[Aeana]

Pardon my ignorance but what is LAA and why did the new patch break it?

LAA is large-address aware, it lets the game use more than 2GB of RAM. It seems to have broken it by refusing to run if the EXE is modified (at least, it gives me an error if I use CFF Explorer to re-add the flag to the new version of the EXE).

 

[Aeana]

There's a fix for the LAA thing now. Someone ported the New Vegas 4GB launcher to work with Skyrim: [link removed because a better one is coming]
