Dwemers return... now thats gonna be epic!

Here is some direct ini tweaks that affect the way the game plays a lot. The major issue with Skyrim is it is a heavily cpu dependent for so much that often my gpu never even gets hot. http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=337 Also here is a fix for shadows that you can tinker around with for better play indoors and outdoors since shadows eat a lot of cpu processing http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=283

yack cant edit the mouse in the ini... I have relied on that to fix the horrible mouse lag in menus and map mode. i think i am staying with version 1.1 until community patches come out after the ck arrives. the original game 1.12 has run extremely smooth for me and with shadow tweaks and other tweaks located in the links below the game runs even better. excluding the obvious mouse issues due to the fact it was optimized for a gamepad i have had no ctds other than those which were caused by memory caps from textures and loads from tweaks. http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=283 http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=337

do you have it changed in the ini to fix it... the mouse sensitivity that is? hmm i wonder if this means they fixed or are trying to fix the abysmal mouse sensitivity issues.

i still explore and yes its annoying worrying about clearing a dungeon and then having a quest bug. so far it has not happened to me. i want to explore and find stuff not marked on maps by a cheesy system of go to point a and back to b. maybe when the ck comes out we can tweak each quest ourselves and eliminate any lingering bugs for quests.

@grbosch are you at 1.3 update now? @Guss yah I have left it at 1.1 to be safe as well. too many tweaks i have already and a lot of community based stability improvements. I def wont patch until I get a few days of confirmation the patch is good. I also want a manual patch since if I turn steam back to online mode it goes back to auto update and I do not want auto update.

Any technical issues with the new patch or does it actually fix things this time around?

I stole the key for Hjerim in the middle of the night before I even got the quest and went in there and got the journals and amulet. I also broke into Calixtos before that and stole his journal which incriminates him outright. The quest jumped ahead for me entering Hjerim when I opened the chest and found the journal. Maybe this will work for you as well. I am lost why finding Calixtos direct journal incriminating him doesnt allow me to turn him in right away. It sucks doing quests and worrying more about if you will bug a step than finishing it a unique way. hope stealing the key and breaking in might help ya...

So we got 1.3 now. How is it for everyone? Bugs/issues or working smoothly as intended? I still have mine on lockdown on 1.1. More info on it before I download the patch would be great. Also is there a way to download the patch manually outside of steam?

no one knows about this I guess...

along with the patch came a change to something inside of interface.bsa. this is the cause of it. specifically some of the crafting mods or even just the one crafting meltdown. something is altered or no longer exists post patch. this is why menus are messed up. disable the mod or better yet roll back to a previous version.

Steam workshop of hell NO! sigh... meh... vomit... So now MODs will directly contribute if they choose to Steam which makes huge profit. Hmmm. I wonder if at least they will offer MODders the ability to collect money from steam for their work since I am sure Steam Workshop will be stock full of ads. Why the hell did they not use the already existing Nexus which has been going strong and proven for years now. I for one do not want Steam to have anything to do with my MODs. I mean steam certified MODs yanno. Ones that are certified and accepted. Hope everybody just sticks with Nexus!

I heard of a way to force the esp file to read the local string file by flagging it x00000080 and making a copy of the string files and renaming those copies with your mod name. Is this true? I have been unable to as of yet get it to work and would like more details if it is possible. thanks

bump

I was told of a way that forces the game to read from the string file so we do not have to manually change each entry for the strings inside of the esp if we are just altering something like weight. is this true? I set the flag and made copies of my string files with the added extension of my esp file but nada so far. still scrambled strings anyone?

i read that someone stated that the patch addressed major lag from lighting and fog effects inside areas is this true beyond the stuff that is broken of course?

seems that going from offline to online resets the prefs of steam and updates are then installed. no idea if there is a ini file for steam that can be altered

and now the speculation of MODs being the case begins... meh this has 0 and I mean 0 to do with MODs (unless of course your MOD is altering the exe file directly such as 4gb did then there was an issue other than that MODs do not break an exe and broken exe breaks an exe.) patches publicity social experiment phenomena

yah MODs help the gamer of course. I could not play Morrowind Oblivion, Fallout or Skyrim without MODs. I just wouldnt. SOme of the coolest MODs have been incorporated into sequels of games as has been stated. MODding is a great base to snag idea for new titles. I buy beth titles for the amazing base game and rely on the community to make the game as it should be especially for PC

this is a pre-patch patch to mess stuff up that was not intentionally messed up. they will fix this and release the CK. why is a dragon flying backwards when the things that needed changing had nothing to do with dragons and elemental resistance why exactly because there was a ton of bugs that were out regarding resistances not working. community will make real patches we just need the CK

it is against some rules to rar the old exe file and post it up for those who want to revert back to the old game version?

yah I have steam updates locked and dont even have the altered exe that messed up the 4gb patch. I am not liking how these are patching. I wish they would just give us the CK and the community could fix the bugs and we could actually manually download the patch and know what is being changed. Hopefully we will just get a few patches or maybe even one official then the CK and then we will have back the control we are used to with the unofficial community patches... I would love it too if patches had every single fine detail of what was changed and fixed that would help us figure stuff out later on.

Just wondering if the new patch breaks MODs at all and if it fixes things or breaks more things.

There is no hatred of console players there is a serious dislike of how game design is done for the console and so players needing someone to hate on they hate on people who play consoles. In general though game design has changed a lot over time and most of us older players do not like it very much. The greatest contribution as I have said is how much console titles sell and how inundated with overhead UIs and big explanations and hand holding techniques that did not really affect PC titles until they started porting them back and forth. So no one hates console players. The effect of console games has changed the industry that's all; and it inevitable.

half or more of all the new updates are save games for beautiful this person and celebrity this person. they are not MODs imo and although it does take some artistic sense to rework facial creations it would be helpful when tracking new arrivals if they could go into a separate category.
