MSFT are playing a different game to the monopoly of old. They want bums on seats, they're not equipped to do what Sony does, any more, so they're going all out to make the xbox ecosystem the better value. As such anything that drives people away from GamePass is to be avoided at all costs. MSFT want to be Valve. They want to be the place people come to play. Valve has essentially cornered MSFT's PC market, they want it back. You don't do that by alienating your customers. Give them the best of the old world with a smattering of the new every so often, and people will stay. This is a long rentier game, not a winner takes all monopoly play IMO.

GamePass is amazing, value wise for what you get, but anyone who's a regular here will already own Skyrim, etc. There are more details in the sticky on r/skrimmods on reddit.

blogs about the travails of the database backend are always interesting. Thanks for being here.

thanks and Merry Xmas folks!

Try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/beginners_guide Skyrim is a harsh mistress, once you've been doing it for a few years you'll get the hang of it, but the link covers the basics. If you'd rather watch videos, then Gopher, GamerPoets & DirtyWeasel on YouTube have you covered. The general take on Steam Workshop mods is that they're bad idea. the "Why?" is that load order is of critical importance to Skyrim, so having something that may spontaneously update without your knowing it, (and thus change you load order) is just asking for trouble. That and not cleaning your masters. You may also want ENBoost, and most of the mods made by Meh321, as they affect the deep structure of the game. Which is 32bit only (unless you use SE) cranky and poorly programed in many respects. However, once you've been doing it for a few years, then you will have enough knowledge to avoid most of the gotchas. If you're going to heavily mod it, (standards differ, but 50 mods is an arbitrary yardstick) then you should probably rebuild with STEP and use MO, (though STEP will walk you through all that) it's a great/stable base for future expansion, and you can just make it a profile in MO for when you feel like a new build. If you read this and think, "a few years, as you nuts!" then I'd advise you to go play the game unmodded, and come back later. There is a reason why after 6 years that 22K people are still playing a single player RPG daily, you may also want more RAM, and a couple of SSD's

As a man with many hundreds of tabs open, half of them nexus, the colour of the tabs is what matters to me. Witcher is red, Skyrim is Blue, SSE is yellow. Now all of Skyrim is pale blue, and witcher is still red. Please change the icon/site colours back to what they were, or at least differentiate Skyrim & SSE. Cheers!

Heck, that got ugly fast. This thread, not the redesign. It looks quite modern to me, but I only checked it on mobile so far. Will check on the PC tonight. Good luck!

Congrats! Clearly well deserved

Things change, I know that beyond 40 or so people like to plant a flag and say "this far and no further" but that's just putting yourself in opposition to the world. I just used the new chat for a bit, never used the old one, amd I'm old enough to remember IRC when it was new :)

Thanks for that, great news!

On it's own, this page is worth a read: http://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/2015/08/directx-12-tested-an-early-win-for-amd-and-disappointment-for-nvidia/4/ But the real story is the benchmarks, where a 980Ti is bested in places by a R9 280X under DX12 looks like Nvidia optimised for DX11 via hardware. The underlying changes of DX12 may upset that.

http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/348/? works with any named character, so, Ves, Avalach, etc. Whether they function as followers or that's only built into Triss, etc. I don't know.

Would this work? http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/359/

Your answer is here: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/54522-Triss-Fan-Art-Thread?p=1887812&viewfull=1#post1887812 worked for me

essentially, you have to "uncook" the game files, this will give you, amonsgt other things, the game meshes and texture files, in a given format that you specify when you uncook it.(png, bmp, etc.) You edit the texture, in Gimp or something else. edit meshes in Maya. Then you have to "cook" the files again back into a form the game will accept. The modkit on Nexusmods comes with two pdf's that you should read, and example mods, (you want the one with the unicorn) that you can examine for how it should look. Alternately you could just change the stats on Hunter armour, but that will require an XMl change as far as I'm aware and you can't do xml work with the mod kit, so that will have to be done by hand to the core files thenselves, being very careful to keep the byte count the same on the xml file. If that sounds like too much work, then back away from the keyboard :smile: Good Luck!

Depends what version of the game you have, you need a dll that is compatible with the patch you have. This is the dll for 1.0.8.1 http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/54522-Triss-Fan-Art-Thread?p=1887812&viewfull=1#post1887812 You meed to copy that over the old dll. Works for me :)

Good for you, let the modding apocalypse begin :)

Dumb question here, but is the a limit to the number of mods you can have? Skyrim has 254 max, the Sims has never had a limit. Which of these is more like witcher 3? Haven't seen this elsewhere, so...

Working console for 1.0.8.1 here: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/54522-Triss-Fan-Art-Thread/page73 only the dll, you ned to replace that.

Try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher3mods/comments/3h3oxm/i_made_a_script_to_export_all_meshes_in_a_current/

Are you using a mod manager, or just manually placing them in the mods folder? I'm running mods OK, (using NMM) including some of the ones you're using.

This fixed it for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher3mods/comments/3h44vx/for_anybody_having_script_compiler_errors_using/ GOG 1.0.8.1 Windows 7 x64

Well I pulled the trigger and bought a Sapphire R9 390 8GB. It is a monster of a card. I had to take the upper drive cage out (Antec P180) to fit it. and it requires two dedicated 8Pin 150W PCIE fly leads to power it. This is fitted in an MSI Z77A-GD55, (a socket 1155 board), and I had to flash the latest BIOS (1.11) before it would work, otherwise it appeared DOA, no output on any port. The key it appears, is if the little blue logo near the front of the card lights up, with that it works, without it doesn't. Other than that, it was a smooth build experience. This is a good review of what you're getting from Eurogamer who do more grown up reviews if nothing else: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-amd-radeon-r9-390-8gb-review This is directly releveant as they're benchmarking the R9 380 in Skyrim. It is in German however, so you'll likely need Google Translate. Though it will give you peg to compare the R9 390 to: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/35903-drei-modelle-der-radeon-r9-380-im-test.html?start=9 By way of a bookend, this is the same site benching the R9 390X in Skyrim: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/35979-drei-modelle-der-radeon-r9-390x-im-test.html?start=12 This is a hierarchy chart from Tom's Hardware for 2015: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html Tom has long done Graphics Card comparisons, and the R9 390 is in the company of the GTX 970 and the original 4GB Titan. He recommends the R9 380 at $200 and the GTX 970 and the R9 390 at $330 I paid 355 Euro delivered. Spec & Benchmark wise It appears than in general the R9 390 beats the GTX970 in a blended average of tests, the R9 390 gets better the higher you pump the resolution. It's not really a 4K card, there seems to be general agreement that there is no single GPU 4K card out there. Some games performing better than others. Just about every review says that 8GB is pointless unless you Run CrossFire, (which requires 16GB RAM minimum) but none of them are running modded Skyrim :smile: I gave it only a cursory shakedown run last night, this is at 1080P on a Viewsonic VP2365wb with 450+ Mods loaded into Mod Organiser and 244 ish active plugins, 2K textures, it had a few micro stutters coming out of the Bannered Mare for the first time, (where I loaded from) but I figure it was loading textures at that point. It was a smooth expeience from then on. I'm guessing if I wanted it to be really smooth, I'd need to put my Skrim install onto an SSD or at least defrag my disk :smile: I'm running the latest ENB binary & the latest Phinix ENB preset. No issues. Looked just like it did with my GTX 660 Ti 2GB, but it was smoother, I have it locked at 60fps in enblocal.ini. For gaming at 1080P the card is definately overkill, but then I'm going to have to re-engineer my game. Put in high poly models, bump all the textures out to 4K with a few 8K here and there, see what happens. I've also got to get PhysX working again, since that now belongs to Nvidia, but there are patches, however that does require you install Nvidia drivers and the Nvidia PhysX driver, then a few patches. There are videos on Youtube. Things to watch out for is your sound going missing, as the Sapphire R9 390 has a HDMI port, for which it installs and configures Surround Sound, but this means you have to reselect your own drivers if not using HDMI output. Basically, this is a "no brainer" if you run Skyrim, especially if you run it higher than 1080P, the VRAM is useless to anyone but us, but for us, it means you can probably get screen archer fidelity in a playable game. More on that once I've rebuild my mods. Time for Breakfast :tongue:

That was really useful, cheers!
