Skyrim PC ini and console tweaks : V - Skyrim

Is there a ini setting to change so the damn shadows don't "jump" every 30 seconds or so, its REALLY annoying

» Fri May 18, 2012 3:48 pm

I haven't noticed it. Again, it's likely you were sprinting or something when you went to the map screen, and that's what reset the FOV.

I think I used the sprint key... 2 times so far. So that's not it.
It seems that reloading/ new session/ fast travelling resets it for me.

is there any way to keep the compass, but turn off all of the icons? such as nearby locations and such?

I'd still like to know which direction I'm pointing.

Would there happen to be some variable or.. something.. that could disable, or lower the quality of the objects during loading screens?

That's the shadows adjusting to the position of the sun. To make it less noticeable, lower the timescale. But you cant 'disable' it or else itd make shadows static

Anyone know what setting to tweak to increase draw distance to stop the shrubs and such on plains from "popping" in?

Well... crap... because the objects keep crashing my computer [BSOD] when they try to render.

well then yeah, clearly a problem with your computer if youre getting bsod

Sadly, no. There's no option for it, at least. You can learn to use the sun and stars, or you can cheat and look at the direction your arrow is pointing on the map.

fBlockLoadDistanceLow=50000.0000
fBlockLoadDistance=125000.0000
fHighBlockLoadDistanceLow=20000.0000

Does anyone know what these do? And does lowering and raising these values increase or does it make a decrease in distance? Or in other words, if I change 50000.0000 to 30000.0000, will this increase load distance or decrease load distance?

Hi all,

From looking at TESV.exe:

There are three parameters that appear to be listed for use under the [Display] section of the skyrim.ini file.

fDefaultFOV=fDefaultWorldFOV=fDefault1stPersonFOV=

They don't seem to take effect immediately if you start Skyrim and click "Continue", but they definitely seem to do things, especially to the FOV when you are in a menu. And they seem to take effect when you fast travel, so that might be useful for some people, though the console setting of Fov seems to take precedence?

Edit:
I think the fDefault1stPersonFOV makes the "Fov" console command use whatever you set this value to if you just type "Fov" in the console without a parameter.
I think the fDefaultWorldFOV affects the Map/Behind-The-Menus screens.

There are also three parameters that appear to be listed for use under the [Controls] section of the skyrim.ini file.

fMouseHeadingSensitivity=fMouseHeadingXScale=fMouseHeadingYScale=

I have tested that adding a [Controls] section in skyrim.ini and adding the fMouseHeadingYScale=3.0000 makes the mouse move unusably fast in the Up/Down direction, so that might something that people changing the FOV might want to tweak around with. Note: Just adding the entry in the already-existing controls section of SkyrimPrefs.ini did not seem to work, though.

A suggestion I saw on another forum used values of 0.0200 for both X and Y.

There are a ton of settings that might do something, but it's difficult to tell if they actually do, or they are holdovers from the fallout3 days. In general, all the settings that fallout3 exposed are at least worth a try.

Has anyone been able to see a water quality difference with adding these to INI? I haven't been able to see it

http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/m7zja/tweaks_to_make_skyrim_that_much_better/

Just found another little eye candy tweak: resolution for water reflections and blurred reflections. (very subtle, all props to TheCompiler from the Skyrim Nexus!)

Change both iWaterReflectHeight=512 and iWaterReflectWidth=512 to 1024 (for a higher water reflection resolution) and add the following to your SkyrimPrefs.ini:

bUseWaterReflectionBlur=1
bReflectExplosions=1
iWaterBlurAmount=4
bAutoWaterSilhouetteReflections=0
bForceHighDetailReflections=1

Adjust Grass Distance

To change grass distance change the following variable in the skyrimprefs.ini (My Documents > My Games > Skyrim > skyrimprefs.ini) under the [Grass] heading.

fGrassStartFadeDistance=7000.0000

to

fGrassStartFadeDistance=25000.0000

Ultra: fGrassStartFadeDistance=7000.0000
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7058/2011111400002.jpg

Ultra Grass Tweak: fGrassStartFadeDistance=25000.0000
http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/3875/2011111400006.jpg

As you can see the grass renders further out.

I have not noticed any visual difference pushing it past 25000. Using this method this is the farthest out you will see grass render. If you lower this variable the less grass you will see. Changing the other variables under Grass don't seem to make any difference.

Adjust Tree Distance

To change tree distance change the following variable in the skyrimprefs.ini (My Documents > My Games > Skyrim > skyrimprefs.ini) under the [TerrainManager] heading.

fTreeLoadDistance=75000.0000

to

fTreeLoadDistance=250000.0000

Ultra + Grass Tweak: fTreeLoadDistance=75000.0000
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/8536/2011111400012.jpg

Ultra + Grass Tweak & Tree Tweak: fTreeLoadDistance=250000.0000
http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/4777/2011111400017.jpg

Trees generally render fairly far anyway but if you look just off right center on the peaks you can see the extra trees rendered on the mountains.

I haven't noticed any difference pushing it past 300000.0000 but this could be dependant on the area you are looking on. I saw no visual difference between 250000 and 300000 but you could put it at 300000 just to cater to a further visual distance.

Adjust Shadows

To change shadows change the following variable in the skyrimprefs.ini (My Documents > My Games > Skyrim > skyrimprefs.ini) under the [Display] heading

bTreesReceiveShadows=0
bDrawLandShadows=0

to

bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1

Ultra + Grass Tweak, Tree Tweak, & Shadow Tweak:
http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/8757/2011111400018.jpg

There are other variables to mess with aswell. This is the simple one.

If anyone knows how ti improve draw distance so that we can see trees and grass detail further out please share, thanks.

Been wondering at the size of skyrim.ini compared to the one in oblivion\fallout -
it lists only a fraction of options the game actually has...

Fortunately "saveini" console command still works, so if anyone interested in getting ALL tweakable ini parameters - here you go!

Good thread. :thumbsup:

Play with the cloud distance, those look stunning. I think so anyways.

These are my current values.

fCloudLevel2Distance=462144.0000
fCloudLevel1Distance=52768.0000
fCloudLevel0Distance=16384.0000
fCloudNearFadeDistance=36384.0000

Still playing around with them. (These are defaults on Ultra by the way)

Been wondering about these. Can you post a screenie or two?

» Sat May 19, 2012 1:47 am

the FOV thing doesn't work at all, i have to change it every time i start the game via console, the ini-file editing does absolutely nothing (the skyrimprefs.ini tweaks work perfectly)

» Fri May 18, 2012 4:29 pm

Been wondering about these. Can you post a screenie or two?

i'd like to add an additional option that makes a pretty significant change to the graphics detail for mountains and such and they are dynamic in the case of how clouds/sky effect the visuals..

fSkyCellRefFadeDistance=300000.0000

I'd like to also suggest that we realy need to determine a reasonable range... i used 300,000 as a value simply because it seems to work well with tree draw distances...

Here are 4 images.. of the following

DEFAULTS of ULTRA setting
Slight Modifications
Addition of some modifications suggested in this thread with my own twists
Modification including the cloud/skybox draw distances as well as heavier modifications

Forgive the JPEG compression scheme as uploading a 3240x1920 image is pretty... well.... lets just say painful and imageshack and other websites generally start complaining when images grow to larger then 5mb in size (nearly 20mb BMPs)

Don't worry these links don't require jumping through popups and other crap to view them.. they are DIRECT links to the jpegs.... so easy pizzy.... and average 2mb per so if your on a slow connection... before.... also ignore the "LEVEL UP" glitch on the screen... if you notice that on different screenshots it changes in brightness, it's cause i've played with the hud transparency... i'm a fan of 50% hud....

This FOV method seems to stick. Work for me at least. (Taken from NeoGaf)

Step 1) Add the following to the MyDocuments Skyrim.ini under [Display]

fDefaultWorldFOV=XX
fDefault1stPersonFOV=XX.0000

Step 2) Add the following to the MyDocuments SkyrimPrefs.ini under [General]

fdefaultfov=XX

Step 3) Load up your game

Step 4) Set FOV using the console to the XX value you used in your .ini's

Step 5) Save

Step 6) Quit

Step 7) Reload your game via the save you just made and verify the fov is now correct!

Must... fix... pop-in

Basically, I want a way to get rid of the way extra details and decals "pop" in as you move closer to them. One example is moss/vines on castle walls. You don't see them at all 50 yards out, but when you get closer they just pop-in from nowhere. There are many other examples but this is one you can easily try yourself.

I've been manually going through my ini changing one variable at a time to try and fix this to no avail. Anyone managed to find a way to get rid of this?

some screens to show what i mean:

look at the stone wall in the middle of the screen, it's blank/colorless
http://i.imgur.com/1pZu9.jpg

when i take a step forward:
http://i.imgur.com/KbbaL.jpg

there's moss/shadowing all over the stone. I've tried adjusting settings for hours and nothing works. I know someone out there is smart enough to have already figured this one out. Thanks.

Start the Skyrim Launcher, and open the Options config panel. Click on Advanced, and then the Draw Distance tab at the top. Do you have Object Detail Fade checked? If you do, uncheck it. If you don't, check it. See if that fixes the issue for you. This is just a guess as to what might be causing the issue. I don't have the option checked, and I'm pretty sure I don't have moss popping in to view. But then, maybe I just haven't noticed it yet.

Must... fix... pop-in

I know this sounds bizarre, but trying resetting your graphics drivers to factory default settings and then experimenting with this.

» Fri May 18, 2012 6:24 pm

Did some shadow tweaking to see the effects of the shadow fade distance.
My other settings are the same as Sininen's;

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=0
iShadowSplitCount=2
fInteriorShadowDistance=3000.0000
iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=2048
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096
iShadowMapResolution=4096
fShadowLODStartFade=600.0000
iShadowMode=4
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
iShadowMaskQuarter=4
iShadowFilter=4
bDrawShadows=1
bShadowMaskZPrepass=0

Just changed these 2 for the screenshots
fShadowDistance=8000.000 (think this value just boosts the shadow resolution the lower you set the draw distance to. As my fps took a massive hit for doubling the all-around resolution of shadows to 8196 but changing this value does nothing to the fps, I suppose its there to ensure good fps. The further you force the engine to draw shadows, the crappier it must make them look to not affect fps)
fShadowBiasScale=0.1500 (and not sure about this, didn't seem to do much from 0.15 -> 2.0, dont know about the number scaling though, whats the max/min)

This is with the values above, looks way too blocky to me
http://i.imgur.com/Bnygq.jpg
and shadow fade distance about (of the tree in the screenshot above, shadow would be near building's roof)
http://i.imgur.com/T9m99.jpg

And this is with

fShadowDistance=1000.000
fShadowBiasScale=0.200

The shadow quality is nice
http://i.imgur.com/208iC.jpg
but the fade distance is way too low:
http://i.imgur.com/LwGmO.jpg

I think a value around 3000-4000 works best, depending on how far you want the shadows to render ahead. You can see the fade just start to appear near the cliffrock on the left (3500 vs 4000).
http://i.imgur.com/DQIE8.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/JNhwH.jpg

I also tried setting the shadow map resolution to 8196 and the shadows definetly improved a bit but the fps hit was ~20. Wouldn't recommend it.
Finally a series of screenshots of the shadowdistance value and quality hit.
http://i.imgur.com/K45TC.jpg - 1000
http://i.imgur.com/1oq6u.jpg - 2500
http://i.imgur.com/1uBAL.jpg - 3000
http://i.imgur.com/ShTwo.jpg - 4000
http://i.imgur.com/NFK0b.jpg - 8000

As you can see, theres not much going on between 2500 and 4000 but the draw distance difference is a lot. Here's what happens to a pillar's shadow(on the door) @ 1000 interior shadow distance and imo 2000 should be the bare minimum anyone should set the draw distances to.
http://i.imgur.com/KiVrt.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/KPyNl.jpg

ps. Found again a couple of bugs while doing this, my armor (boots and gloves) change to a different model totally randomly upon loading a save. They're fine without the chestpiece on but turn to different models once I put it on. Also, in almost every inn I hear some random rattle and clanking when talking to the barkeep. This has been driving me nuts and while tfc'ing through the inn I saw some pots and baskets kept falling out of the building's corner into the void. Oh, bethesda.

Yeah, I've tried this both checked and unchecked: same result. One thing I haven't tried is factory default settings on the driver, will try that now. (though I've tried messing with every setting so I doubt it will matter)
