Copywrite85 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi, I have tried the imax memory optimization tweak discussed in this article. http://www.rcrncommunity.com/five-quick-skyrim-tweaks-you-may-not-know . Everything seems to be working fine and I actually think it has made my game more stable and smooth. But its giving me a SKUI error 4 payrus blah blah. Is this something to be worried about or is it just a superfluos warning? If anyone has experience this I would really appreciate input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Bleh, the back button ate my post! >:( No, No, No... That setting has nothing to do with how much RAM Skyrim itself can access. It's a 32-bit application and is explicitly capped at 3.2GB, period. That setting controls how much RAM the Papyrus VM can access at once. Setting it to 2GB or more is only going to open the door for other problems to pop up. The default setting is 76800 (75KB). Raising this value can help increase stability in a Papyrus-heavy environment during saving/loading. The VM's RAM usage spikes during these times, and if it runs out while it's snapshotting or recalling the VM's state, it will usually CTD. Something like 1MB (1048576) is pretty reasonable as it ensures you have plenty of RAM available to the VM with pretty much no impact on how much RAM the rest of the game can use. Here's some documentation on the [Papyrus] section of Skyrim.ini. Edit: No idea on the SkyUI warning, but if you were to post the exact message it outputs, I or someone else may be familiar enough with it to point you in the right direction (assuming it isn't warning you that you've made a bad tweak to iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes).

prod80 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Doing those tweaks as RCRN says will make your game unstable and eventually stops working. Papyrus Developer says not to make such changes. SKSE will corrupt your game using those tweaks. No need to optimize memory with Skyrim. One thing you shouldn't do is change the uGridsToLoad value when you wanna mod your game... I've noticed some mods will CTD using that setting every 10 or so minutes. Skyrim be default doesn't utilize all your CPU cores efficiently, or when you are using a fast CPU and not so good GPU (like me) you can tell Skyrim to use all your cores for calculating, I think be default it will use just 2. See spoiler for settings. This is for 4 cores.

MShoap13 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Is the infinite loading screen on an old save or a newer one? Are the CTDs random or do they happen when actors/enemies first pop-in to view, do you stutter when actors pop into view or begin to speak? As far as Windows goes, unless you're going to use the features of Pro, I'd advise just getting Home Premium. No point in spending extra money on things you won't utilize. For video cards in your price range, Radeon 7870 or GeForce 660 are both fine choices. I'm an nVidia supporter myself due to their aggressive driver updates. Though the 7870 does out-spec the 660 across the board, the 660 still holds up in games and the performance winner is give-and-take, depending on the game.

Can be at the start of combat, load screen or just running out in the wild. One is when the Dragon Cult hit you up in Whiterun. Once combat starts I freeze. Some sutters here and there but not much. FPS are 40-30 indoors and 30-18 out side. I thought you needed Win 7 Pro to use more than 8gig of ram, is that not true? Cool I am going to a computer fair in the morning I'll look one of those up! =D Any Radeon 7870 in particular?

MShoap13 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 Home Premium uses up to 16GB. And quite frankly unless you're doing some insane modelling/rendering or super-multi-tasking while encoding video/archiving huge files, you'll practically never run into the 8GB usage range. Certainly not while playing Skyrim; assuming you don't play with an insane amount of background processes running (which by itself greatly affects the stability of Skyrim's engine).I'm partial to MSI as the Twin Frozer cooler design is phenomenal. It's nearly silent with excellent cooling capacity. ASUS is hit or miss on their aftermarket coolers (quietness-wise at least) and I'd read user reviews on any specific card manufactured by them before purchasing. Nothing wrong with Sapphire or PowerColor if you don't mind the noise of the stock cooling system though. Your CTDs could very well be due to System RAM limitations. Didn't read that you already had Win7 Home Premium. Let us know how the upgrades go. Edit: You could try bumping up the fUpdateBudgetMS and fExtraTaskletBudgetMS settings. These are periodic pauses where the game literally freezes for a split second to allow the Papyrus VM to do it's thing. Setting them too high will cause stutter so 10 to 12 would be where I'd start on both. Then, if that increases stability when multiple actors pop-in/spawn at once, start bumping them back down 1-2 ms at a time until you find the "stability breakpoint" for your particular setup.For the loading screen, you could maybe bump up fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS. This is how long the game gives the Papyrus VM to load up all the scripts screenshotted into your save. I'd try 800 to 1000 as the only downside is slightly increased loading times (the number again is in milliseconds so 1000 would add half a second).

Canlocu Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Is this card any good PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16? About the same price as SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 . Was going with Sapphipre when I seen the PowerColor on sale. Also this card XFX Double D.

MShoap13 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) The First two cards are decent choices though I'd honestly expect the single-fan 7950 to be the quietest and it will definitely out-perform both the 7870s. It's hard to be sure about the fans, but the swept blade fan design (on the 7950) both dampens fan noise and increases the pressure of the fan (the spec that really matters on fans forcing air through a heatsink). Additionally, both the 7870's appear to have very shallow fans which means they spin faster and make more noise to move the same amount of air.At $280 that 7950 is a steal. Stay away from the XFX, the cooler is shoddy and their support is terrible so if you're unlucky and get a DOA/malfunctioning card, you're going to have a terrible time replacing it with a working one. One of the reviewers, there on Newegg, went through 3 different cards (the original, and two refurbished ones) and still didn't get one that worked properly. Out of all the 7870's on Newegg, at the time I'm writing this, this PowerColor card, intrigues me the most.
