The edges of the roof look normal, just the exterior walls and porch are blue Figured it out, had something corrupted in my dyn setup, so a reinstall and a rerun and it works. And since i couldn't sleep due to a work call at 3am, I got annoyed with turning off zaz, so just went in and fixed the missing meshes for candles and palacecage, as well as the invalid reference in zaz ESM.. now Dyn3 seems happy with it. yay for no sleep Link to comment

Plus Bethesda is known to be somewhat sloppy with their programming. There's a reason many call them 'Bugthesda'. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of the old bugs return with Skyrim AE... 3 hours ago, jaeos said: possible, your chip is 6 years old, your card is 3-ish years old (technology wise) and you might not be GPU bottling, you might be CPU throttling instead. Have you looked at any benchmarks for your setup to tweak it? Are we still talking about the same thing?

If its textures taking up too much VRAM and/or GPU processing I might try reducing the textures with Cathedral, and see it that helps. I'll probably go ahead and do that before considering whether to pull the mod. Went ahead and downsized/optimized/compressed but JK's Skyrim doesn't have a lot of textures. I think it applies existing textures a lot, so I'm not sure how much reducing its own smaller set of texture's is going to help. I did the same for "Other" for Skyriim 2020, and I'll probably do the same for Skyrim 2020 Architecture, and Skyrim 2018 (even though it largely gets overwritten). Maybe that will be enough.

wollboi Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) @axz2 Pretty much all of those. EmbersXD used to be a big culprit, but it's a lot better now. Rudy ENB will always slow your framerate. I recommend turning off AO and FOV in its menu. That'll get you 4-6 FPS and I think it looks better with it off. @Nelmas I've never used an AMD, but I wouldn't think so. Whiterun is notorious for its framerate drop. Riften is worse. I don't think anything can change that. And like Aylis says, Skyrim is horribly optimized. My rig will run Doom Eternal in 4K at 120fps rock solid. A ten year old game with dragons? Happy when I get 60. @kackhaufen213 I use Wildcat, Ultimate Combat, and am trying EEOS and used to use another boss combat enhancer (can't remember which). I've had no trouble with the list. Just put them in Override, make sure to check the Requirements for any patches, and rerun a lot of stuff: patch comendiums, FNIS/Nemesis (with the options toggled), etc. etc. I turned off SkySA. I really don't like it. @kesryth Mine is blue too. I'm still looking into why. General observations - DynDOLOD 3 is ten times as finicky as its predecessor and it's very annoying ... but it always knows what it's talking about and the new error help pages are fantastic. It's also taking a lot longer. Edited October 8, 2021 by wollboi 1 Link to comment
axz2 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 @wollboi AO and FOV? Not sure what AO is. FOV is how wide of view you get, you can't turn that off only change it to something else? I'll probably go ahead and disable DOF. At this point I'm trying to avoid dumping the ENB. Its foundational to this load order. Dump it and I'm not using this load order with a few changes, but more using it as advice for my own load order. Dropping JK's is another option but maybe reducing its textures and Skyrim 2020s and 2018s will do the trick without looking to bad. I've already dropped a specific texture mod, a sexlab mod or two, Storm Lightning, and Dirt and Blood. Link to comment

ENB has it's own version of it, so either disable that in ENB (Shift+Enter) or disable it in vanilla. Having both enabled might cause problems. Also, he meant DoF not FOV. Turning DoF might yield a few extra frames. Take a look at ReShade as well (if you have one), turn a few options off. Edited October 8, 2021 by Nelmas Link to comment

maven2137 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi, maybe it's a silly question, but I'm not that good with modding. I have followed your instructions step by step and everything seems to be working fine, except for the fact that some textures are blue. I know it means that some textures are broken or missing, but I don't know what to do with that. I have tried some tutorials, but don't understand how xEdit or NIFScope can help me. I wouldn't care if it wasn't for the fact that the most common armors are affected like fur, hide, iron or studded. I found the textures in xEdit and they are all green, what is the next step? Could someone explain to me what to do or point me to some tutorial? I have skipped caching grass and xLOD/DynDOLOD, because I was eager to play, could that be the reason? Link to comment

When it comes to missing textures, your first job is to figure out what, exactly, is missing. In your case it sounds like common armors and, in this build, they are mostly supposed to get their meshes and textures from SRA - Simply Realistic Armor (Replacer). So what you could do is, go to that mod in the left pane, make sure it's properly installed and look at any conflicts/overwrites it may be having. It's also very useful to keep a close eye on the Data tab, over in the right pane. This tab opens up a folder\file tree view of every file just as the Game sees them. For instance, if you drill down through Data\textures\armor_replacer\Fur you'll see all the banditf(ur).dds textures associated with fur armor listed together with whatever mod is providing the file. In this case it should be SRA. If it isn't (and it won't be in your case), you then have to figure out where you went wrong and fix it. 1 hour ago, Nelmas said: Welcome to the club. I've been getting this all across, but at this point I've given up asking for help. Reveal hidden contents I can't say I recognize this armor or the odd texture, but the advice above holds for you as well. To find out more about the armor, try going into the console and clicking around on the npc and see what you can find out. (Are you using More Informative Console?) Then hunt it down in MO. Sorry can't give you much more than that. Link to comment

That is actually what @kesryth is looking into right now, several people have mentioned missing textures, some are missing from forts (me) to missing farm textures (kesryth and wollboi) if all of the problems point to one mod, then it's going to be an install error for that mod as aylis doesn't have that issue and her system is a few years old. @Nelmas guess not.

Someone shame me if I'm wrong here, but I'm willing to bet that "High Hrothgar Window Glow" and Glow Disabler are referring to two slightly different things. The window glow is, I think, just enabling distant viewing of lighted windows from High Hrothgar. I think the DynDOLOD FX Glow is an 'atmospheric' glow that surrounds distant light sources. Sort of like lights seen through a mist. Edited October 8, 2021 by Temphyx 1 Link to comment
