how to reset ugrids to load to lower setting

[tVEC]

I had the problem where I had used ugrids to load=9 and found it too unstable, even with a i5 2500k @ 4.2 Ghz and a 1GB 6790 OC'd and 16GB of RAM. But I had used it while and didnt want to lose my saved progress. Lowering the ugrids after increasing it will make the game CTD.

I dug and dug online and found about 3 different ways to do it, the main one causing the red color at the loading screen after the new 1.3 patch.

 

This one works with that patch with no redness:

 

1. Run Skyrim in windowed mode. (Change in launcher or Skyrimprefs.ini)

 

2. Load your save and then with the game running get to your desktop either by alt-tab or ctrl-alt-delete and find your Skyrim.ini.

 

3. Make sure the ini isn't read-only and change the ugrids to whatever odd number lower value you want (default 5)

 

4. Save the ini and go back to the game

 

5. Open the console by typing "~" (tilde), the key left of the 1 key. Then type "refreshini" (without quotes). Hit enter and type ~

 

to exit the console.

 

5. Save your game, exit, and restart with that save. That's it!

 

I find ugrids to load=7 is the most stable and much better than 5 obviously.

 

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks, I wanted to try upping ugrids but wasn't too happy with having to waste a couple of hours gameplay if it didn't work out, this workaround has made that worry moot. Edited July 7, 2012 by ZombieWombles

Thanks TVEC worked for me brought the hangs on load screens to 10 - 15 seconds. Which i supposed is to be expected with ENB. Before any add ons I was getting 3-5 seconds with ssd.
