HeyYou

I would be more tempted to base it on percentages. I.E. You can sneak just fine up to 50% of your max carry weight. Then, for every percentage point over that, you lose a corresponding number of points in sneak. I don't *think* that having a skill reduced negates perks....... as there are a fair few potential debuffs in game...... But, no evidence to support that opinion.

With the i5, I think the 1070 will be a good match. Get as much VRAM as you can on it. (I see 8gb fellers for around 450 on amazon..... don't know if you wanna spend that much though.)

Worth a shot.... :)

What country are you in? I think the 'next gen' stuff is still awfully new, so, some interesting issues with them. Have you considered a 1070??

Browser paranoia. :) On that, I don't know..... I don't really deal with that end of things there.

Welcome to Nexus. :)

You cannot be serious. Trump is the biggest narcissist in decades if not centuries who had the pleasure of being POTUS, and his intelligence level barely scrapes the bottom of a fish barrel. The circumstances around his election raise a lot of alarming questions and so do the consequences. Saying he's not any different from other presidents is a gross misrepresentation of facts. How many Possums have conducted foreign policy through twitter messages? How many Possums have threatened other countries with a big red button and when going to negiotate fold without anything to show that his bravado isn't just for show? How many Possums have denied global warming the way he does, even when every expert declares firmly with lots of studies how we are all screwed if it doesn't get stopped in a few decades? How many Possums have White House staff cringe in fear that he offhandedly cancels key defense agreements that are an integral part of the safety of the country without even looking at them? And the list goes on. Just how many? Sorry, but Trump is a tramp, and should never have been let anywhere near with real political power. We have elected Possums for president???? That would certainly explain a lot...... Yes, Trump is an idiot, not the most honest feller, and really needs to stay off the social media....... Still and all, Obama's foreign policy (apologist in chief) wasn't really all that good either. Bush's foreign policy flat out sucked. (INVADE!!!!!) In all reality, it is the democratic party that is to blame for Trump being president. They could have ran ANYONE else but Hilary, and won. (simply for the reasons stated above.....) But no, Hilary bought the party, and then they lost. (and she still made millions off of it.) Folks didn't necessarily vote FOR Trump, so much as voting AGAINST Hilary. And to this day, Hilary is still deluding herself about WHY she lost. It wasn't election tampering, it was folks just didn't like her. (the folks that actually cast the vote that counted.... the electoral college.) Sort of. Truth is stranger than fiction :wink: Now THERE is an accurate statement. :D I note that Billy never really caught on though. Teddy was much more successful.

I'm wondering if the heat from the Graphics card is being spread to the MB through the slot, and overheating the components It sounds like your system is dangerously overheating and shutting down because of overheating. I'm thinking if you had no problems BEFORE you went to Hi-Res Textures and HIGH settings in Beth.ini, you're overtaxing your system, and probably the tests where you let it run, without any input aren't going to tax your system as hard as it's being taxed by the actual game. How much of a pain would it be to go back to Medium Settings to see if your system still crashes etc if you play like it does when you changed to HIGH settings? He also changed some hardware..... It wouldn't be the first time I saw a borderline board make it thru qa, only to fail when put under stress....... I've even seen them with capacitors that weren't completely soldered in......

I let Furmark run for 6 minutes - at minute 3.5 it flat-lined at 75C and never went over it for the rest of the test. I think furmark will beat up the CPU as well, if I am mistaken there, run prime95 at the same time.

Hhhmmm....... Ok, then download something like Furmark, or Prime95, install it, and use it to beat the crap out of your hardware. Watch temps, and see what happens.

Wow. That's a tall order...... I don't think you have any idea what you are letting yourself in for..... :) Do you have skyrim? If you do, you can do thru the tutorials at TESA, (link in my sig) and that will get you started with the CK. We don't have anything FO4 specific though, gopher is going to be your best bet.

Download memtest, burn it to a disc, and run it. Allow at least four passes, just to make sure things get good and warm. See what happens. It does sound like heat, or inadequate PSU though.....

Yes, the prices for intel processors are way to high at the moment. AMD is the way to go at the moment. If you go with new hardware, yes. But, get stuff a generation or three older, and it's dirt cheap.

Oh, alright. So does it help at all to prevent sites that recognize and block VPN servers from doing so? (E.g. 4Chan, etc.) No, because you would be using a VPN server......

Basically, its very similar to just using a proxy server to surf the web, difference being, the connection between you and the proxy is encrypted. Downside is, it slows your connection. If you don't have a real need for that tight of security, then there really is no need for it.

Welcome to NEXUS! :D

No. you don't need to. No clue why he mentioned that..... Also, no, you don't need to remove any of your other mods to make a new one. Are you familiar with dependencies? Only load the files that you actually NEED for your mod. (skyrim.esm, maybe some of the DLC's, depending on what you are doing......) Check the link in my sig. We have classes there for modding skyrim. It will get you started, teach you the basics of what you need to know, and get you familiar with the CS, and how things work.

Apparently for me, it's Heroes of Might and Magic 3..... I got it when it came out, and it is still installed on my machine, and I still play it....... Of course, it has been thru several computers...... :D

Happy to be of service. :D

Well, the problem is.... First, you just want it to run Skyrim. Then, you get introduced to the wonderful world of mods. :) Then, you need a meaner machine to run your modded skyrim. But, once you have the meaner machine, you add more mods... It's a vicious circle I tell ya. Beth is in cahoots with the hardware manufacturers to sell high-zoot computer parts...... Ok, not really. But, pretty close. :) What you really want, is an intel i5, at 3.0ghz or better, and at least a GTX 1050 (more vram the better), or better, minimum 4gb RAM, 8 would be better. i7 processor would be better, but, see what they have on the used market at the shop, and maybe just stuff in more ram, and a better vid card. I am still running Skyrim on an old AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black..... (around nine years old.) Runs fine. I even run Fallout 4 on the same machine, and it runs great too. Yes, I have upgraded my vid card over the years, currently running an Nvidia GTX 1060, 6gb ram. I don't do 'prettification' mods though. (high res textures and such) They tend to beat up the vid card.

How many of them are texture mods? I noticed that a fair few of the folks talking about black textures also stated the game was running out of VRAM. Since the games is 32bit..... it takes a patch to get it to use 4gb. And even then, it won't really ever use the full 4. I don't know if vram is included in that total either.....

I thought there was a 'fix' for the black textures at one point? Seems to me, that was some variety of engine bug? Been a while, so, I may be remembering wrong..... Edit: Ok, after doing some checking around, seems it was a driver issue with Nvidia cards? One guy fixed it by rolling back his driver. Of course, that was two years ago.... so, I suspect you might have to roll back quite a ways.... and that would likely cause other fun issues.

Ooohhh, that's nice. :)

Do you have textures turning black at some specific distance, or if you look at them at an angle? Do they pop in and out as you move/turn your head?
