Thanks for the tip

Great, thanks. I will swap all the other embedded images over to ImageBox over the next day or so for all my mods. I will still hold the originals if ImageBox goes the way of other hosts or changes from direct links like PhotoBucket did.

I have registered an imgbox account and changed just the main title picture on the BCS SE mod page as a test. Please could a couple of you have a look at it and see if Chrome is happy to display the banner picture in the main body of the mod? If it does then I can start swapping over all the other embedded pictures away from my http: host to the imgbox https. It is just the first embedded "Book Covers Skyrim Special Edition 1024x512" image. The smaller "About" and similar images are still from my old http host.

It looks like other mods may get round the issue by either having their own SSL Certificate (such as the Unofficial Patch team) or by using imgur to host the pictures.

Hah - UK2 want £50 a year for an SSL certificate! Fat chance!

I wonder if Chrome is being (probably correctly) fussy that while the Nexus page is (mostly) secure, the embedded images on my dcoffey.co.uk domain are not? My domain is just a simple repository for my plain images and screenshots so has no real provision for an https version. If Chrome is warning that there are unsecure children on a secure parent page, it may be something I have to ask my Hosts for advice on. EDIT : Firefox does say "Parts of this page are not secure (such as images)." The main Nexus page is https of course.

Is anyone else able to reproduce the issue? Does it do it on the BCS Lost Library page? How about the vanilla Skyrim version of the mod? I can't generate the warning with Win10, Firefox and Kaspersky, nor on iOS14 or OSX or Microsoft Edge.

Apparently there was a server update on my domain again today. Is the mod page still giving warnings now after a browser refresh? It loads OK for me at home on Firefox.

Hello folks - thanks for the heads up on this. I will check with my Host as I believe I am still the owner of the domain. I did get a status message warning of impending PHP updates to the server my files sit on so it may be related to that. It was supposed to be completed on 8th October 2020.

Don't Call Me Settler is using a Holotape for menu options as an interim measure.

Partly correct. As long as you have something capping the frame rate to 60 (or less) you will be fine.

In response to post #17937779. #17937849, #17958584 are all replies on the same post. There must be an element of prioritisation based on file size too. It took a long time for the last version of Book Covers Skyrim to be scanned and when I updated the mod on the 28th August, the small update file passed quickly but the bigger BSA archives are s till unscanned over two days later.

First question... are you using ModOrganizer to handle your mod installations? If so, remember you have to start the CK from within MO in the tools menu. There are also some small edits to the CK ini file to help it load properly. You certainly need to add bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 to the bottom of the General section as well as telling it about the DLC that you have. Add ", Dawnguard.esm, Hearthfires.esm, Dragonborn.esm" to the end of the SArchiveList= line and the "SResourceArchiveList2=" line.

Once the blur is present, does it go away when you press shift-F12 (to disable ENB)?

Yes, the Craftsman's Manual is from Requiem. If the game crashes the instant you try to read the book, it is looking for the Inventory Mesh and not finding it. By default, Requem puts that mesh and its texture in the correct place but it is possible that a Compatibility Patch is out of date or has a mistake in it. To start off diagnosing this, check that you are using the correct version of Requiem and have any appropriate patches for your mods up to date too. If you are sure that you have the correct patches and have installed the mod properly, go over to the Requiem mod on the Nexus and ask for help there. If you are familiar with TES5EDIT, you can tell it to Load All plugins, go to the Requiem.esp, look in the BOOK section for the Craftsman's Manual and see if any other mods apart from Requiem are editing that record.

The one file which Steam refreshes is just an ini file that the Launcher edits with the current graphics details.

Alternate Start - Live Another Life will let you choose a different start - the Hunter in the Woods is the nearest start to Helgen.

Hunterborn_RND-Patch.esp needs to go if you are not using RND any more.

Have a look in your SkyrimPrefs.ini for the iSize H and iSize W and make sure they are set appropriately for the screen resolution of the three monitors.

You may find that the Legendary has the DLC included in its installer. Look for the Dawnguard, HF and DB .esm files in the Skyrim game folder and see if they are already there. If not, report it to Steam, not the Nexus.

It appears the 3470S is labelled as a low power 4-core processor so I would say it would be your bottleneck and would struggle with an ENB. The 750ti might be OK at a low enough resolution. You could start off by looking for Performance ENBs rather than full ENBs. At least you can easily change your mind with an ENB and it won't affect your save game.

Temporarily suspend the ENB (usually Shift-F12) and see if the frame rate recovers. If it does, you will need to reduce your ENB quality settings until it is tolerable. Shift-F12 is a toggle and will turn the ENB on and off on demand.

Gopher has a YouTube video to help you troubleshoot your load order and he explains step by step how to use the TES5EDIT tool to identify what the issue is. If the video helps you, remember to thumb it up as a thank you.

You might want to check the spec of your laptop - the sales blurb doesn't match what you think you have. Dual processors? Dual GPU, yes if you used the bay for the second one. Also don't forget the very important "M" off the end of your GPU. That denotes a mobile (low power) GPU. Also remember that if you do have a dual-GPU system, the VRAM is not just added up - it is tied to each card. Two 2Gb cards do not allow you to fill 4Gb of VRAM. If you want to have a look at ENB, read the nexus page on the RealVision Performance version and see if you think that will suit you. Generally you can expect an ENB to halve your FPS.

If you are getting a crash before you even get to the Bethesda logo, then yes, Gopher has a video showing how to diagnose and fix that issue. It is almost always a missing master file or dependency and he corrects it using TES5EDIT from the Nexus. The video is here.. Remember to thumb him up on youtube if his video helps you.
