I can't turn my shadows and spec distance down/off? : IV

» Mon Aug 08, 2011 1:12 pm

I have fcom and several other mods installed could there be any reasoning behind this?
I edited streamline in it's ini file and turned off it's ability to adjust my shadows and spec distance then re-initialized it so that cannot be it.

Oh and what are PyFFIed meshes and textures and what not and how do you do this for performance?
Is there some kind of program or guide to help me in getting my fcom and oblivion meshes PyFFIed?

Here is my load order:

Does your game crash on exit when you make changes to the settings? If so, that is part of your problem.

PyFFI is a utility to optimize meshes, removes a lot of extraneous data, that the mesh really doesn't need, so you get better performance in-game.

My game has crashed before after changing those settings but I'm not sure why.

I have changed them before without crashing perfectly fine maybe a few days ago(before I installed the bulk of those mods).

If the settings are changing back, streamline is probably doing that......

If you change settings, and the game crashes on exit, those changes won't be saved..... need a mod like Fast Exit 2.

Streamline's Streamsmooth has always been a bit dodgy. Disable it if it gets on your nerves.

I edited streamline in it's ini file and turned off it's ability to adjust my shadows and spec distance then re-initialized it so that cannot be it.

Turn off streamsmooth completely. See if that works as it's a bit buggy.

Once you change the ini file, you have to go in and reinitialize Streamline in-game (ctrl+home, i think, and then click on the special actions, and reinitialize from ini file). At any rate if you don't get a message that Streamline has successfully initialized after you make changes to your ini, then the changes won't be implemented. And like someone else said, if your game crashes before a clean exit your changes won't be saved either. Streamline is still the most likely culprit here.

If you make a change in your graphics options and the game crashes and therefore your changes aren't saved you can type 'saveini' in the console. The changes should now stick.
