I don't want to take Alexander's glory, but the other one has been closed and I couldn't find a new one so here we go:

Previous thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1349813-skyboost-topic-10/

Beta (test 2) for 1.4.21.0 out, get it here : http://alexander.sannybuilder.com/?category=other&altname=skyrim_boost

Latest supported patch
r1-r4 - 1.3.10.0, r5 - 1.4.21.0

Description
Boosts your Skyrim via replacing most bottleneck code parts in the executable at runtime.

Changes
r5: -- current (beta -- test 2) version
- Everything rewritten from scratch
- Only safe code is present
- Gpu optimizations
r4:
- Boost is separated to fpu and sse2 versions
- Gained few fps
- Fixed all known bugs of r4 tests
r3:
- More performance
r2:
- Fixed SkyUI compatibility bug
- Stability improvements
r1:
- First beta release based on Acceleration layer from Arisu
- Some code improvements comparing to Acceleration layer
- Fixed all Acceleration layer bugs

Installation
- Make sure that you are not using TESVAL (delete "Skyrim_dir\Data\SKSE\Plugins\TESVAL.dll")
- Copy the contents of the "bin.sse2" folder to the Skyrim root (where TESV.exe is located) , if you are using amd cpu use "bin.fpu" folder instead of "bin.sse2"
- Play !

Notes
- Steam can make an update anytime so make the copy of TESV.exe to use SkyBoost after new patch outs because it will take a while to make SkyBoost update

So, I'm using the latest r5 test 2, but I'm wondering if it's the best? I get very slight stuttering, but not sure if it's related with SkyBoost or just specific versions (also my texture tiling in Whiterun has been blending very badly). Which versions of r4-r5 work the best for you? Should I roll back?


.

Well, it's a test version. If you have problems maxbe trying the last stable release can help.

Both the stuttering and frame rate drops (for no apparent reason) are issues Bethesda has yet to fix. Alexander has said earlier however, that he found a way to fix that. I hope he will come out of the dark soon and present his findings !

r4 is the last stable, I might try that again. However, removing it completely eliminated my stuttering greatly. It was back to being smooth again (for the most part where I get good FPS). I downloaded it again, but there were two versions being "fpu" and "sse2". I'm curious to know people's findings with either versions.

@everyone above this post:

You guys do realize that Skyboost's in its current state does NOT support patch 1.4.27? Every patch came with an altered .exe file and Alexander had to adapt to it from Skyboost version to version. r5 supports 1.4.21, while r4 supports 1.3.10 and so on (as he states right in the beginning). Alexander also mentioned that he'll might not include GPU optimizations anymore, cause these would conflict with driver optimizations of Nvidia and AMD (or would render his optimizations obsolete). If you want to get rid of the stuttering, try to delete Skyboost. In any case: don't use any current release of Skyboost with patch 1.4.27. This can only make things worse for you and lead to unpredictable things.

Hi, I was told to download the AVX version (Im using a 2600@stock). Is this a feature.implemented in the latest SkyBoost release, or is it a release of it′s own? Like Darius D.s SSE4.1 release.

Tnaks guys!

It's the DariusD compile. He compiles them to take advantage of different instruction sets. His most recent is a r5 base so it is not compatible with the new 1.4.27 patch.

Look in the topic 10 of Skyboost, page 6 for the link and post from DariusD

Bats

Does Alexander look at this topic? So when can we expect a version, supporting Patch 1.4.27?

Probably not.

Not before Script Dragon supports the newest version.

No, we don't know if or when it Script Dragon will be updated.

Script Dragon has already been updated to support version 1.4.27 though, I wouldn't be surprised if Skyboost gets updated as well.

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1355668-rel-script-dragon-topic-6/

Script dragon was updated yesterday, and no alexander probably won't get topic updates because he didn't create this one.

Hi,

the current release of SB for 1.4.27 seems to be US-only. Any way for me to change that or for a work around?

As soon as Alexander got the time to work on a new version, there will be a new thread. This doesn't mean he wouldn't stumble over this one and reply here to stuff ppl said. He is working on a lot of projects at the same time (and is playing Mass Effect 3 at the moment, it seems) so it'll take some time.

I don't think so. It always worked with all version, so why should this be changed? and how? The codes are the same in all Versions, just the language is different.

Some languages have different codes because of different character encoding standards. (ansi, unicode, etc.)There is no release of SB for 1.4.27, afaik.

Works fine in Europe. Are you in Russia?

No no, Im in Germany and tried it with r5_test3 and r4 an get (in case of version r5) the following error:

Your game is in v1.4.27 and not supported by skyboost

Hmm i dont know if Alexander will release a version for current patch, there is already a v1.5 of the game in works and probably be out in the next couple weeks.

what? a version 1.5? when was it announced?

It wasn't. There was a placeholder that got accidentally published. Nothing else, though. We've known it's coming for a while, just not when or what it contains.

well, more than that I wanted a CK patch but oh well.
well, no release until this 1.5 seems a smart idea, Alexander

the placeholder that was accidentally released also stated that killcams for ranged attacks and spells would release with 1.5. Not getting my hopes up because it was a placeholder but that would be awesome.

What happened to Skyboost? I can't reach the website.

Ugh, so I just did a new system build and installed Steam.

Idiodically, I forgot to set Skyrim to not automagically update and it updated.

Spoiled I was and now I can't go back until Skyboost is updated (which probably won't happen until 1.5) or Beth implements more optimizations.

Le sigh.
