phil0sophy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Hi all im new to the forum, not sure if this is the right place/section to share this but since I know you guys appreciate skyrim and open world games I figured you would appreciate this gameplay, Im running a few .ini tweaks and popular mods such as no more blocky faces and a few others. I have a MSI GX740 laptop and have no problem running this on ultra, using dxtory to record gameplay and there are a few frame drops here and there but its down to optimisation as opposed to my specs also the fact that recording cuts my frames down. I do have a question however, is anybody else getting texture pop in like on the consoles? where you walk up to something and it takes a few seconds to load in the texture? I cannot understand why I have plenty of ram and have allowed skyrim to use 4 gb also my specs are well above what is needed by the game can anyone explain why it would be doing this and what I can do do remedy it. Anyway hope you all enjoy the vid, its only a snippit from the beginning of the game and im sure you have all seen it before but its skyrim so its bloody awesome anyway haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuH0gbsjpcA Edited November 17, 2011 by phil0sophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hmm... No idea about the texture problems. Like you said, it can't be about performance; that doesn't happen on an HD6770. Several people here were having similar problems, but I don't remember if they were on consoles or not. Try the Tech Support section. Nice graphics, btw. Those ini tweaks must really help.

Lyanheart Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks nice, but I couldn't play with that as choppy/low-FPS as it is... I hope that's the video and not how it really runs when you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's the video and now how it really runs when you play. it runs anywhere between 60-75 fps when im playing, so yeah just the video im afraid, dxtory and fraps are system hogs especially when trying to record in full detail, its a pain in the ass.

Stormcrown Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I also tend to get "invisible" textures. Floors and walls will be missing when standing in certain spots/angles. I typically just restart Skyrim and its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionHunter Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have transparency sometimes so I can see thru characters - now that's annoying :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im running the HD5870 and its overclocked so im getting exta performance out of it, never have any trouble with textures and stuff I can run BF3 on ultra at anywhere between 40- 60 fps so I dont understand why it would struggle with texture load in and its only something I have ever seen happen on a console thats what I cannot understand tbh. But yeah the .ini tweaks helped so much but the game is badly optimised for pc in my opinion so im sure there is a way that I can squeeze even more performance out of the engine, im thinking about making a mod to try and rectify or try and improve it but have not had the time as of yet.

I typically just restart Skyrim and its fine. Yeah they do not tend to go invisible but it does tend to "load in" right in front of my face if that makes any sense? For example I will run across a distance come up to a wall and will have to wait anywhere from 3 to 7 seconds for the full texture to load in, like I said have only ever seen that happen on consoles. Also scorpion I can imagine that would be very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO3LACE Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I am getting nothing like that. The only thing I changed was the ram allowance and that stopped me crashing. I really hope it is only the video that is jumpy like that and not how you play it normally. Using a GTX 580 3gb version btw. Maybe it's am ATI thing.

Yeah like I said normally get really good frame rate, its just the recording software taking my frames down, problem is with recording software u either really need to drop the quality down on the game settings or run it normally and suffer frame loss. Unless of course you have a supercomputer which not everyone can afford, although I wish I could lol. Yeah maybe it is, it could be something to do with drivers that im running possibly I will have to take a look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
