Battle for Solitude runs at unplayable FPS

[Prenihility]

As soon as I approach the Solitude area, the FPS drops to what looks like 2 FPS during the Battle for Solitude quest. What the hell?

 

And it isn't letting me copy/paste anything. Can't show load order. I could never do that on this forum before.

You are already using Crash Fixes and ENBoost right?

[Prenihility]

Crash Fixes and ENBoost? No. Not sure what they are.

[Project579]

exactly what i was thinking :laugh: :laugh: .

 

Tutorial:

Download and install SKSE if you don't have it already; Remember to run the game trough skse_loader.exe from now on.

 

Createa a file called skse.ini in Skyrim\Data\SKSE\ write inside:

[General]

ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

EnableDiagnostics=1

[Display]

iTintTextureResolution=2048

[Debug]

WriteMinidumps=1 ;<----you can leave this to 0

After that download and install crash fixes: http://www.nexusmods...yrim/mods/72725

After having installed it navigate to Skyrim\Data\SKSE\Pugins\CrashFixPlugin.ini

Modify in CrashFixPlugin.ini UseOSAllocators=1 follow the instructions above this line to make it work.

ENB can be used without graphics modification and will improve your performance in game by a lot:

First download the latest ENB ( http://enbdev.com/mo...kyrim_v0308.htm ) in the archive, extract from the wrapper version: enbhost.exe, d3d9.dll, enblocal.ini and enbseries.ini to your Skyrim directory (where TESV.exe is located)

In enblocal.ini edit:

[GLOBAL]

UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false ;<-----set this to true

UseDefferedRendering=true

IgnoreCreationKit=true

ForceFakeVideocard=false

[MEMORY]

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false

ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true

DisableDriverMemoryManager=false

DisablePreloadToVRAM=false

EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

ReservedMemorySizeMb=64

VideoMemorySizeMb=4064

AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false ;<-----set this to true

wow, I can't seem to find an SKSE folder in the Data folder. SKSE is one of the first things I installed months ago. And I did try ENB. Never heard of it helping performance. It murdered my FPS after trying it out the first time. I use SweetFX instead.

 

EDIT: There is an SKSE folder in My Documents - My Games - Skyrim. But not in the main Skyrim install folder after the Data folder. Odd?

if you are missing the folder in Data make it

 

UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true disables ENB graphics modifications if you want to use SweetFX with it use this tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/1ycxi8/guide_getting_enb_to_work_together_with_sweetfx/ (you don't need to download an ENB just install the files i told you later and you don't need SweetFX configurator because you already have a preset).

Well, nothing happens. My SKSE.ini is just a text document, even after I save under All File Types.

 

After installing the Crash Fixes, it says that the memory patch hasn't been applied. This is just hysterical. I even watched a video. Apparently it's as easy as giving a text file an extension. But... it actually isn't. It's still just a text document.

 

EDIT: I suppose i'll have no choice but the install CF manually? Because Mod Organizer wont put it in the SKSE folder.

Enable file extensions in windows (google how to do it)

Alright, I've manually installed the Crash fixes by extracting to the Plugins SKSE folder. I've made the .ini with said text. Nothing's happened. I approach Solitude and it's incredibly slow.

 

And for some reason, this forum doesn't allow pasting from clipboard. I'd like to show my load order, then again, not really...

you activated Crash Fixes UseOSAllocators=1?
