I installed the HD texture pack but its quite disappointing at this stage. Mostly I notice the "improved" rocks. I am not sure I like them though.
I'm not expecting any incredible mods until the proper kit comes out.
It looks awful from the screens I've seen.I installed the HD texture pack but its quite disappointing at this stage. Mostly I notice the "improved" rocks. I am not sure I like them though.
Only HD texture pack I really like is the Whiterun texture pack by Chris2012. Stays true to the original artwork and just improves upon it.I installed the HD texture pack but its quite disappointing at this stage. Mostly I notice the "improved" rocks. I am not sure I like them though.
Damn... took me ages to make that post.
Do you want me to remove it?
Why I left it out for this whole time and have the tech still leading the threadI installed the HD texture pack but its quite disappointing at this stage. Mostly I notice the "improved" rocks. I am not sure I like them though.
Yeah be wary of some of these early texture packs. Vurt's foliage mod is probably the best so far.
Nope.stoopid question, but does modding disable steamchievements?
Nope.
At least not normal modding that I'm aware of.

KB&M have terrible implementation in Skyrim, it's much better to play with a pad. Also, I play in 3rd person, so don't need uber 180-degrees turns.
I had the same issue. That is, after about 72840608639 crashes just trying to download them. I decided to do things manually.This Nexus Mod Manager seems not so good. *story*

All this happened after I installed it last night. Do they not keep their own main link updated? It also checked itself for updates and found nothing.The newer patch actually took away all program breaking crashes.

So tonight I was overclocking my i7 2600k for the first time, wanting to get some extra fps out of skyrim after all the new mods... and I kept noticing my temps hitting 96c after running some prime 95 stress test!!!! And the CPU was throttling it self wayyy down to keep it self alive. Keep in mind I built this rig about 4 months ago and havnt actually taken the time to watch my temps at all....
Needless to say I knew something was f-d up, so I did things like under clocking it, disable hyperthreading, updating the motherboard bios (in case of a temp misreading). I looked at the Heatsink to make sure it was tightened tight on (aftermarket Dark Knight HSF).
Kept scratching my head, so finally i got fed up and desided to tear apart the whole rig.... and guess what I found still attached the bottom of my heatsink...

Yup... I never removed the protective thick plastic sticker from the bottom of the heat sink... Sometimes my stupidity astounds me.
Now that its all back assembled, I have her running at 4.7ghz, at 65degrees after an hour of stress testing.
A true testament to this i7, its basically been running with no HSF for the last few months and still been playing games and running at stock speed without much of a problem! Amazing. Not only that, Skyrim truely is CPU bound, The game is running silky smooth now.[/QUOTE]

Not laughing at you, just laughing with you. That sounds like something I'd do. I'm actually about to start doing the same thing (overclocking my CPU for Skyrim)
Why can't bethesda do this? makes a HUGE difference.Enhanced Distant Terrain http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1598

The newer patch actually took away all program breaking crashes. I still get an error rarely but the program doesn't shut down like it did before. And every DL has started successfully on the first try. Still, there is room for improvement and it's too early to cast it aside.
Yeah it helps a lot, no more polished plains. Aesthetic balance is very important.Liking that noise, really looks pimp and makes the game look like there's detail far off (even though it won't show up normally).

HOLY SHIT This made my first crash...
1 crash in 64 hours. :/
Anyone else have a problem where if they load a save game the frame rate halves? If they load a save game again it halves again??
And is there STILL no Crossfire support?
I'm sick of playing the game at 30fps or less at 1080p there is no excuse for this.

I suggest the GTX 560 / 560 Ti for that price range, but here are some comparable AMD cards in that range as well for the sake of fairness: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fastest-graphics-card-radeon-geforce,3067-4.html
I think any of them would suit your needs.
If you are getting sub 30fps you may want to redirect some (read: all) of that blame at your processor.
Holy crap..
Just did the ini tweaks in the OP and some tweaks from the geforce guide and the game looks jaw dropping. The ambient occlusion is HUGE. Sadly it makes the game too laggy (factory OC 580 and 3.2 CPU).
This isn't my picture but:

sigh my game is broken. I set everything to default and it still CTD's in the cave I'm at randomly.
No error messages or anything. Any ideas?
