Monsto Brukes Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Long story short, I have a 2ndary skyrim dir that's vanilla perfect. I copy from it to "reset" skyrim when it needs it. That means that there's no skyrim mods or dll wrapper/injectors installed at all. it's a pristine installation. This screenshot came from that installation of the game. It's an AMD 7870 and there's no "SSAO" setting in Catalyst and there's no mods installed. Any ideas where I'd go to turn this off?
Groovtama Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Did you tried RadeonPro tool? http://www.radeonpro.info/manual/contents/settings-ambient-occlusion
Veladarius Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Are you using an ENB? If so it is in the settings for that. Use Shift + Enter to open the ENB console and disable it there and save the ENB settings.
D_ManXX2 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Did you changed anything in ini file like skyrim.ini or skyrimprev.ini ?? try deleting them and let skyrim create a new one start your game and see if it is still the same.

Monsto Brukes Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 Did you tried RadeonPro tool? http://www.radeonpro.info/manual/contents/settings-ambient-occlusion I actually found that somewhere else and installed it. for the general config, AO is checked and unchangeable. Of course. when I set up a profile specifically for skyrim, I was able to uncheck AO but this effect was still visible. I did some digging around on the interwebs and found some vanilla pics . . . the effect is there on those pics. go to the drunkenhuntsman, if you would please. If you disable ENB, do you see the same things on the walls? Truly, I never noticed it before. I started using ENB.

This screenshot came from that installation of the game. Just copying and pasting a clean Skyrim install into the Skyrim directory doesn't change your Skyrim.ini or SkyrimPrefs.ini, though. If you made any .ini tweaks they'll still be there even with a fresh install. They will be found in documents/my games/Skyrim. If you delete that folder then run the vanilla Skyrim launcher it will generate fresh ones with no modifications made to them.
D_ManXX2 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Nvidia has a tool named: Nvidia's Inspector Tool in witch to force ambient occlusion i am not sure about catalist but something tells me if you have no enb installed and not messed with your ini try checking your catalist settings and see i there is anything in there that could have enabled it. Also try opening skyrim settings and turn off FXAA or what ever skyrim is using this also switches on ambient occlusion from what i seen.

If you delete that folder then run the vanilla Skyrim launcher it will generate fresh ones with no modifications made to them. To clarify, I have 2 dirs: a "clean" dir and a "main" dir. when I think skyrim may be fucked up, i rename both dirs so that the "clean" dir becomes playable. It is a full, working install. I don't just filecopy, I completely change dirs between working dirs. The 'clean' dir has pristine everything, including ini files. the screenshot in the op was taken from 'clean'
gvman3670 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 How do you get seperate .ini files for multiple installs? With MO it's easy since each profile has it's own set of .ini files (and only one Skyrim install necessary). But without MO I don't see how you'd do it unless you had multiple Skryim folder in documents, but then I don't know how you'd keep them seperate and functioning with each Skyrim game directory.

Mod Organizer. Even so, It's only 2 installs. Also even so, I think the solution is that it's a default state of the game.
