The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[kalniel]

Is that the bug that causes your head/face to become invisible? Had that problem with my mage, occasionally he'd have no head when wearing a mask there was just the hood.

Can't verify myself as I play from 1st person, but sounds like it.

1.4 now released proper, with some additional changes that were made during beta. Full list below:

Here's the final 1.4 changelog (changes impact all platforms unless noted)

Finally? In the last few patches there have been tons of PC only optimisations

Hmm, I don't actually meet the minimum requirements.. wonder how it'll go?

edit: servers too packed to download at the moment, oh well. Bethsoft forums down as well..

[Terbinator]

..and Steam has died as per.

[kalniel]

3GB download. My card is so going to die.

Yep.

Although i wouldn't usually treat the recommended specs with much value, imagine the 1GB VRAM is cutting it fine as to what is a recommended playable frame-rate.

I've only got 512mb

Should be fine.. hahahahah*cough*

[Ferral]

Same here, icon has gone yellow and download suspended. Such is life when Steam gets hammered! We need more servers in the UK, Manchester & London only, they should try and setup another one in the Midlans or York area and one up mid Scotland.

Kalniel mate, I've been one of the lucky ones with performance!

1920x1080, Ultra settings, FXAA and 2x MSAA. Getting between 45 - 50 fps steady. Only issue has been the shadow thing I mentioned in the other thread

[Terbinator]

A valiant effort nevertheless.

[kalniel]

Kalniel mate, I've been one of the lucky ones with performance!

That's not lucky, you've got a beast of a graphics card Lucky is my previous experience with the ancient thing I've got, but still getting really smooth gameplay on high+ settings at 1920x1080, 4xAA, 8xAF. I probably won't use the new textures until I get a new card, but I'll try them without AA to see if they fit anyway.

[Ferral]

Forgot about my AF setting, have it set to 16xAF on top of the other.

My card doesnt sweat at all running the game. Temps only get to around 50 Celcius and the fans still run quiet.

I think you should get half decent performance with what you have, the processor you have and 6Gb ram should definately help. Why not try dropping the res down a touch to 720p (1280x720)

With my lappy which was Dual Core Pentium, 4Gb Ram and Radeon 4530 mobility I could run Farcry 2 DX9 in 1280x720 and medium to high settings. Still looked impressive.

Finally had a gap in coursework and since seeing many patches and now a high res patch (FINALLY!) i decided to give it a go again, as per usual steam is dead ... going to take years to download this high res patch its silly .

And this is one of the reasons steam sucks! Guess ill have to play something else

Wonder how much the High res pack will tax my 460... bf3 is held back by the 1gb ram and generally the performance of the 460, hope this isnt as demanding .

[Terbinator]

Having had the 2k texture pack on, i would say it probably won't affect a 1GB card that much, less so a highly clocked 460.

[Hicks12]

hopefully .

Almost done now... downloading from germany - berlin i get about 400KB/s, better than nothing as all the others i tried would just start at 0.1KB and then say download paused or something

[Terbinator]

Weapons definitely look better - not sure about everything else given i had mods installed mostly for cities and terrain.

I think it knocked off my HQ water mod though.

[kopite]

Installed this last night and it made everything look shinier

Still running ultra high but now shiny shiny as well

Any good mods out there terbinator that you`d suggest?
