Skyrim ini clean

[eu4orick]

Please can anyone help me with cleaning Useless lines that do not need to be there to improve on performance or ultra+ quality. Also any Usefull working lines that can boost Quality even further with actual visual notice to add? I'm running i7 940 2.93ghz / 12GB DDR3 / Ati Radeon 6990

Try looking at this Skyrim Config Maker. It's a bit old, but you can look at it for inspiration.

 

uGridsToLoad=7 - can improve smooth loading provided you have a 64bit system (higher values are unstable)

 

You have 2 values for sIntroSequence=

i'm very much interested in this too. need some good CONFIRMED tweaks that work. lotsa nonworking nonsense floating around. i will say EU4, those are some of the most tweaks inis i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot lol. there's gotta be quite a few lines there that don't do anything

My config is nothing really :P compared, a full pulled off Skyrim.ini file looks a lot like what this guys stumbled across months and months ago on here http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1322514&mpage=1&print=true somewhere in that forum page there is a post that takes up most the scroll wheel o_O @ about 40kb of filesize lol. I've been following some STEP methods from a base install of my ini files with normal Ultra setting seeing as everywhere I post this same question not many people reply or know much about this sort of thing perhaps...

 

It all started just because either a common bug/glitch of Skyrim decided to invert/chop my characters head off and leave a weird tuft of hair as a neck, or it was one of the hundered mods I got conflicting/corrupting somewhere. But only from after messing with my ini files did this occur :/.

[bben46]

There are TWO sets of ini files for Skyrim. The one in the steam game folder (steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\ Should never - NEVER be changed - repeat NEVER. This is the one used by the game installation to create the other one - which is the one used by the game. and if it is changed - you may have to reinstall to undo anything.

 

The only ini files that should be changed are the ones located in the (default location) C:\users\your user name\My documents\my games\Skyrim If you erase this one, the next time you start the game, a new ini will be created - as long as you have not messed with the one in the game folder. :rolleyes:

 

For information on what the settings are and how they affect your game http://www.tweakguides.com/ is the absolute authority.

No fortunately I haven't :) messed with the default game dir ini's. Thanks for the absolute info website, been there before and used those tweaks :thumbsup: . There are lots of lines of code that unfortunately could get added from other sources other than geforce tweaks page, I don't know if they are working code or not or plain pointless to have (You goto find out these things). I've gone back to base/default ini files like above and seeing what I can add to that actually change game in a significant way.

 

Skyrim's true all you can see ini file has like over 40kb of lines in just the Skyrim.ini file with silly amounts of things you can turn on or off and adjust figures till you kill the game or freeze your system :confused: .

 

I've now got tweaked ini information that comes from STEP.

 

Thanks again to you and all, keep it coming if anyone else anything further they can help me with :)

 

Cheers
