That's great news, Layia. I'm glad you were able to make progress in fixing your problem. I do have a couple more suggestions if you so decide to bump your FPS further. I recall that your anisotropic setting was at like 8 samples if my memory serves me correctly. If you're running at that setting, try playing at 4 samples as a test to see if you can aesthetically handle the difference (adjust other anisotropic values respectively). You will lose quality but you will gain several frames; my guess is 10-15 FPS increase. There is also another mod on Nexus called HiAlgo Boost. Basically, what it does is pretty harshly reduce the resolution whenever the in-game camera is moving. This setting I found out is highly unappealing (especailly during afternoon when everything is visible). Optimal playing is during dusk and in caves when that pixelation isn't noticable. I would highly recommend not using it, because it simply tarnishes the gaming experience, not to mention that your in-game camera is moving around most of the time. Keep us posted if something comes up, call me Ethan:)

Hmmm...I've had the game crash on me as well as I would attempt to load a saved game. Your problem is about to delve further than I can understand, but my intuition tells me that one of those weird entries you typed into your skyrimprefs.ini file may be the culprit, but I would encourage someone more experienced than me would jump in before I wage on that. Once you do figure out how to get your game working, make a habit of saving a backup of your skyrimprefs.ini before you add and delete from it. That way if things go south with new entries, you can go back to the original. Here are some issues that I've dealt with that may help: 1) Sometimes in the plugins.txt file there may be more than one skyrim.esm or update.esm. Some say to delete all of the 'update.esm' entries and have only one 'skyrim.esm'. If there are multiples of either of those two entries, that can cause the game to crash when trying to load a saved game, but usually the game will alert you with an error message before the crash, so I'm unsure. 2) If you play with mods then its possible that one mod may conflict with another mod which can cause a crash. Access your data files folder in the SkyrimLauncher.exe and turn off about four mods at a time, save the changes, and then play the game. If the crashing continues then you know the mods you unchecked aren't the problem, so uncheck another four or so and repeat the process until the game starts successfully. Once you reach that point, you can narrow down and find which mod is causing you problems. 3) Try loading an earlier save; the saved game you may be trying to load may be corrupted for a reason you may never know. 4) Try installing BOSS (if you haven't already). This program will help you with your mod load order (if you use mods). Don't get me started on trying to explain it, but this tutorial is very helpful if you decide to do this. Anybody else have ideas?? Ethan

I don't know what this means, haha; I've seen this on other posts and I apologize if it's wrong in this context, but... Kudos to you sir...or mam! Ethan

I feel your pain at 20 FPS bro. It's difficult to immerse yourself with an FPS like that. Several weeks back I got to a point where I was prepared to stay up all night and hunt down ways that I could improve my FPS. Unfortunately, your GTX 660 isn't on the list in the link below and neither was mine, but perhaps you can use GTX 680 as a guide? My link Give the next link a good read, and be sure to hit 'next' to continue the article before you reach the 'comments' section. The reason I say is because the button is really small and barely noticeable if you aren't paying attention. This link is good for comprehending terms that you see a lot, but have no idea what they stand for and don't appear to significantly impact your performance at first glance (i.e FXAA, view distance, etc.) My link As a side note, be sure to install FRAPS if you decide to record your FPS and conduct your own tests to decide what your system can and can't handle graphically. I made note of the drops and increases in FPS and I apologize if my results are inaccurate to others but this was what I recorded (I'm running with NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M) From what I take it's not the best graphics card, but here's what I found: The Resolution (1280x720, 1366x768, 1920x1080)(~+/-20 FPS), Anisotropic filtering (~+/- 20 FPS), and finally Texture Quality (~+/- 20 FPS) were the three settings that impacted my FPS the most. I would like to add that Shadow Detail is also a big hit as well. Adjust one of these at a time, save the results, and then play the game with FRAPS active to pinpoint which settings your computer can play well at. This was a fairly long process, but by the time you're done, you'll know by heart which settings are the most detrimental to your computer and you can then optimize gameplay further by adjusting Anti-Aliasing, FXAA, Radial Blur Quality, View Distance, etc. For myself, I'd rather have better textures than shadows so I run texture quality on high and turn shadow detail down to low, but that's personal preference. Anyways, that's the gist of my two cents. A final recommendation I'd like to give is downloading GeForce Experience. My link Cheers and happy gaming;) Ethan

I noticed that there is a new unofficial Dragonborn patch. I haven't downloaded it yet, it's a long shot but perhaps that will fix your bug? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31083/ Ethan

I've tried adding the fVisibleNames... with a value of 12288.0000 into my .ini settings to fix the arrows that disappear before they hit my target, but to my disappointment, this fix isn't working and I'm about to pull my eyes out. I've been all over the web and several forums and I can't find a solution, any ideas? Ethan

Thanks for the reply Old, I'll give your mod a go:) Another werewolf mod idea is implementing a sneak animation for the wolf. Maybe have the wolf get down on all fours while in sneak mode?? I don't know, would that be a difficult mod to create?

How about a mod that creates an animation when transforming from a werewolf to a human?? I nearly pull my eyes out every time my character shifts from a werewolf to a human in one frame!

I apologize if this has already been addressed, but unfortunately I've run into a dead end with my problem. I've downloaded the mod that allows me to remain in wolf form for as long as I want: Here's the link: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14246 The problem I'm facing is that I'm receiving the WETriggerScript warning when I try to start a new game. If I attempt to continue a game, Skyrim crashes. From the suggestions others have made, one of the mods I've downloaded may have a dependency I don't have. The specific mod link above also requires that you download a partner mod so that the player isn't stuck as a Werewolf forever. I've downloaded that and have the green check mark in 'Mods' tab of the Nexus Mod Manager. My guess is that any mod also needs to be 'checked' under the 'Plugins' tab of the Nexus Mod Manager to take effect. This is where I face the big problem; the mod that allows you to stay a Werewolf at will seems to need the 'Update.esm' file to function, but if I don't delete the file then the game will display the error message (new game) and will crash if I attempt to load a game. If I delete the 'Update.esm' file the mod(s) won't work (the above link's dependency mod also needs the Update.esm file) I know it's this issue because under the 'Plugins' tab of NMM a short body of copy is displayed to the right of a mod I select. There is an author, masters, and two bullet points. One bullet point says 'Skyrim.esm' and the second bullet point says 'Update.esm' (this is displayed when I click the 'Plugins' tab of NMM). My best guess is that these two bullet points mean that I need those two files for the mod to work, but my problem again is that the WETriggerScript error is displayed if I leave the Update.esm file, and I know it needs to be deleted. I'm very new to mods; it took me forever to figure out what many of the acronyms other users use on the forums, so that will give you a basic idea of my competency level at this point. Other information you may or may not find useful: Here's a list of whats under my 'Plugins' tab of NMM: -Skyrim.esm (I can't uncheck this plugin, it's permanently checked) -Update.esm -WerewolfSecondHowIToggle.esp -Infinite Werewolf.esp All of my mods under the 'Mods' tab of NMM I've download (4) have green check marks. Is it possible one mod may be interfering with another mod? The 'Heart of the Beast' is very complex and sophisticated, so maybe that mod is competing with the other two werewolf mods I'm using, but none of the werewolf mods are working, but the invisibility fix works fine. Here's what I have under my 'Mods' tab: -No werewolf time limit - Infinite Werewolf -Heart of the Beast - Werewolf Sound and Texture Overhaul -Werewolf Toggle no Scriptdragon - Werewolf Second Howl Toggle v1_4 -Space Wiking Original Invisibility Spell Fix That's about all I can think of at this point. I'm really sorry that my post is soooo long, but I just want to be as clear and concise as possible. I would use the Ring of Hircine (is that what it's called?) but I don't want to have to keep shifting and using it again and again, that becomes bothersome. I just want to stay as a werewolf, simple. What I've outlined may not even be the core problem, but this is what my best guess is. Any ideas? Please help? Cheers, Ethan
