well this is a bit on the odd side... i copied my complete skyrim setup to another pc and the saves load on it.... so I re-saved my latest save game and copied that new save back to my main computer and now that save loads fine on this pc (while all the old saves still cause a ctd).. makes no sense to me why the old saves load fine on another computer and re-saving them makes them work on this one

just recently tried to play skyrim again after quite a few months and for some reason now none of my saves work :-( Only thing different from when i last played is that now my OS is on a ssd, skyrim itself is still on my secondary drive (normal hdd). Made sure to check that my backups are all the same as what is there now so it *should* be exactly the same as it was before. Yet whenever I try to load any save game at all it goes to the loading screen for half a second and then crashes to the desktop. Turned on the logging to see if there was any obvious error and im not even getting any log files being created, idk if its crashing before it even gets that far or what. the latest few save games are from 10-22-2013, and when i look in NMM it shows last installed mod date is 10-05-2013 so it was definitely working for a few weeks since any mod changes (and i recall it working fine last time I played). tried resetting the ini files to defaults, disabling enb and skse... but no change.. I tried every save game I have (about 15-20 saves) from all different dates. tried starting a new game and saving it as soon as it lets you, then loading that save. It works, sorta... I can get ingame with a save from a new game but when I do the mouse and keyboard wont do anything ingame except the esc key works and the mouse then works on the menu only. confused lol. ...and annoyed lol spent quite a bit of time back then getting rid of the random crashes (which became fairly rare and the game was playable and enjoyable without crashing all the time).. now I cant even get the exact same setup to load my old saves, and it acts wierd when loading a new save (tho to be honest I dont want to bother playing, even if starting a new game was working right, if i cant play any of my old saves of like 300hrs playtime.. theres no way i can convince myself to start over lol)

Just trying to do the basic aoe spell only affecting hostile ppl thing.. but its not acting the way I want it to and Im not sure if im missing something or if this is how it has to work lol.. anyway, to keep this somewhat short and basic.. Im using a conditional to check for the IsHostileToActor (on the magic effect). So if i go in a city and cast it around ppl, no one gets hurt or pissed off and attacks me or anything, in other words it works fine so far. then if i say, attack a guard with a weapon to get all the guards to be hostile and attack me.. when i cast it, it hurts those guards, but after casting it a few times to the point their health gets low (almost no health left) they all go down on a knee like theyre recovering or some such. The spell no longer does damage to them when theyre down on a knee (i assume they are no longer marked hostile at that point?) but as soon as they get back up they come attack me again and the spell works fine until they go down on a knee again. and they are not essential, as when theyre down on one knee i can whack them with a weapon and kill them. not sure what the problem is, but i havent messed around with spells/magic effects/etc that much... is there some other conditional i should be using or something that will make them still take damage when theyre down on one knee and are going to attack me when they get back up. Also confused as to why it sends everyone down to one knee at low health when it really should be doing enough damage for that last hit to kill them. If i dont have the hostile conditional, it kills them instead of them going down to one knee

well seems my skyrim decided it doesnt want me to play anymore lol.. I hadnt played in a few weeks and decided last night to start playing again. So i played for a couple hours and it was pretty much fine (fine as in a crash here and there but not constant lol) now today, after not changing anything at all.. the game crashes 9/10 times when i attempt to load a save. Both of my characters are saved in breezehome and I havent changed any mods or done anything to breezehome since last night when i played a bit on both characters. On the rare chance that it actually loads one of the saves, I cant do anything anyway. If i try to leave breezehome it crashes, if i try and sleep/rest it crashes, even if i just try to save the game again it crashes. If i try and start a new character it crashes in the first few moments of the opening carrage scene thing Now ive tried disabling every single mod, same issue.. Re-enabled *most* of them (excluding simple things like texture replacers etc) and still just crashes 90% of the time just trying to load a save (not that loading a save helps since im stuck in breezehome and cant do anything lol) makes no sense to me what so ever.. like wtf lol it worked fine last night, then i closed skyrim and went to bed, got up today and goto play while eating breakfast and this all is whats happening. I even went as far as to shut down and re-seat my ram, gpu, and sound card (tho i figured if that was somehow an issue then surely skyrim wouldnt be the only thing affected as i tried some other games and stuff and everything is fine and dandy) totally stumped at what the hell happened

i get a glow like that around characters.. been driving me nuts as its pretty ugly looking and annoying and ive narrowed it down to when the character isnt standing in a shadow but there is a shadow behind their body (or parts of their body).. Like if the character themself is totally in a shadow, no glow.. if theyre totally in sunlight and no shadows around, no glow... heres some examples 1st one is just standing in the sun, no shadow behind the character and no glow: http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/glow/001.jpg 2nd one is standing totally in a shadow, again no glow: http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/glow/002.jpg 3rd one is standing in the sun, but with a shadow cast behind the character, you can see the glow around the player (upper right side in the picture mostly): http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/glow/003.jpg no idea why this happens, I just assume its the way the game is. Ive tried changing settings including disabling AA, FXAA and transparency AA (thinking maybe it was the result of the AA on the edges of the characters)... but none seem to change anything in regard to that glow appearing around the edges.. Ive mostly only *noticed* it happening with characters but have occasionally saw it happen with other objects

ya i run ugridstoload at 7, 9 is too much for me.. but that really only seems to help with stuff further in the distance, not anything right infront of you :(

well ya i understand that.. but really lol, if i can run on ultra+ settings on a pc thats over 5 years old, it would be nice to have config settings so that detail isnt disappearing at 20 feet away.. But i guess there isnt anything to control that distance :-(

Ive recently noticed this happening while just being around whiterun, tried changing all sorts of lod settings in the ini and none seemed to have an effect. Is this something everyone is experiencing or is there some setting im missing that will improve it for me? Not really sure if it has always been this way for me or not, dont think i paid much attention to it before notice the wall straight ahead as it changes each picture (the stones and then the moss to the right of them). Also ingame there is a noticable *line* of the light or a shadow or whatever that moves along the rocks on the left then down wall going to the right as you get closer to it, but not really visible in the pictures. http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/popin/001.jpg http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/popin/002.jpg http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/popin/003.jpg http://www.avamods.com/public/skyrim/popin/004.jpg

my fps in general has stayed the same, and looking down on whiterun from dragonsreach (where a lot of ppl said they noticed a nice improvement) my fps actually went down dramatically.. as in single digits lol *edit* ok it was an unrelated issue causing the results i first had.. went to play after rebooting my pc and now its definitely a noticable difference.. in the limited comparison testing ive done so far, i would say its about 8-12% increase in fps for me.. number-wise its not much at all, but really quite amazing being that its just an skse plugin

well i just remebered the sbm command to show the vendor menu, guess that'll be good enough since he's too cool to just offer it to me in the dialog :-\

have you updated to v1.1 of SkyUI released today?

lol you dont need to bump your thread constantly like that... FXAA PPI is working fine for me, running latest versions of everything

it all started when days and days went past and belethors shop was always closed in whiterun.. so finally i decided to teleport myself to him to see where he actually was.. it sent me to some wierd place that appears to be where the game stores the bodies of dead named npcs (there was a bunch other there, some of which i recognized as having died) and i found belethor's dead body in the pile. So i did the resurrect command on belethors corpse and then teleported him back to his shop.. now ive waited days ingame, travelled around and did some stuff etc... and when i goto his shop and talk to him, he doesnt give me the option to vendor anything.. any ideas? should i just forget about him?

just make a copy of the exe and rename it FalloutNV.exe or whatever.. or you could probably just make a txt file and change it to that too.. Thats how i got FOMM to run for me, just had to trick it into thinking the fnv exe file was present
