Vashra1 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've been told Steam's overlay FPS monitor is rubbish.So...FRAPS or is there something better/else?Additionally...anyone wanna save me the tedium of crawling though all of Skryim/Prefs ini STEP looking for the setting that forces the rare loading screens to pop up more often?

QuagaarWarrior Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 No idea about loading screens but if you are bored of seeing the same screens there are plenty of mods that add new onesI would recommend always disabling the steam overlay when playing modded Skyrim or SSE.Razer Cortex has an FPS counter which is what I use. Seems pretty reliable. As you mentioned FRAPS is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashra1 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'll look into Razer Cortex, thanks.I'm ... depressed ... by the FPS that the Steam Overlay is showing - and also somewhat disbelieving of the numbers (because if they were *that* bad, I should have *some* stuttering or game lag or something, and I honestly don't.That sort of movement stutter drives. me. buggy. and I could *not* notice it.Anyhoo - off to find something more reliable than Steam, because if I'm getting this kind of smooth gaming on under 15 FPS and also showing a flat 15-20 FPS no matter where I go or what's going on (I mean...if I were *really* getting 20 FPS in a cleared out Blackburrow, I should be slowed to a dead crawl in the middle of Ivarstead during a dragon attack).Clearly, I have performed some kind of mystical voodoo and everyone should use my hardware/vid card settings....or Steam sucks at reporting FPS. Either is honestly possible as I'm squeaking Skryim onto a substandard *barely* min-specs video card, and running that on "mostly Ultra with some weird tweaks."

BaronofHe11 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 loadscreens have conditions you can change or remove using CK or Xedit. This is why you only get some loadscreens after completing certain quests or getting to a certain level. There is actually a mod that removes all the conditions called "Randomized Load Screens". So you will have a equal chance of getting any of the loadscreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosstieger Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 If you want to benchmark your game fraps is more or less the best tool. It has a build in benchmark recorder that will record framerate and framtime. You only need to sort the csv file yourself and make them presentable. Not too difficult if you know some basics of excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
