» Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:55 am Deselecting all mods except the three .esms, recalculating distant land, and starting a new game worked.
Tracked the texture back to Stomper's Mournhold Expanded. Reselected all mods except that one, recalculated distant land, cleaned my save, and I was able to load the save just fine, no crashing.

Thanks for the report. The Mournhold Expanded package is missing that one texture (someone should tell Princess Stomper about that). I'll add better error handling for that case.
Looking pretty good here =) Finally got home from Finland to try this out.
*There's some flickering that seemed to appear at a certain time of day. I will try to reproduce it and post when and if I find it again.
*I can get SSAO and Sunshaft to work pretty well but neither of the two Bloom shaders bundled with this seems to be working at all. I tried placing them in different places in the chain, no success.
*Water up close looks a bit odd. I don't know it just looks like it's moving very unnaturally. Like the very very old MGE water.

I'm concerned about the bloom. Look in the mgeXE.log file, does it say anything? Does switching HDR in MGEgui do anything?
SSAO always does that.. Also, SSAO looks awful outside, the grass especially + you get a very visible black line where the SSAO ends, imo its better to just use SSAO for interiors where it looks really good.
If you look at the galleries in the top post, they are done with SSAO'd grass. I modified the textures a bit such that the grass roots don't line up anymore, and the SSAO darkening is lower than standard. It looks much better than default, as the small grass meshes can't cast shadows normally.
Although I do have SSAO in my shader list, I have it flagged as disabled in exteriors and interiors behaving like exteriors. Hrnchamd had made a comment about mucking about with grass lighting and shadows (which I think I can see quite clearly, but I didn't think to make a screenshot before I switched to his build), so I thought that was the source of the anomaly.
I must have broken the flags somewhere, since SSAO doesn't turn off underwater like in your screenshot. Going to fix it for the next version.
I cant make an extensive testing but with a couple of loads and some play under the trees i must say i fall in love with this MGE version.
For the moment no one problem arise, no crashes.
-My extensive problems with alpha showing some transparent lines have disappeared.
-The enervating poping of grass when turning has also disappeared.
-A huge gain in fps in every condition.
-The only problem is the commented problem with overlapping alphas like the ghosfence but also waterfalls in vivec.
-In a moment the shadows make a quick transition but nothing that bothers me.
-I cant test the SSAO shader cause i get the message 'that shader does not currently compile' (using the included in the package)

Thanks, connary. To make SSAO work, you have to open the SSAO file in the shader editor and follow the instructions at the top. Could you provide a screenshot of the waterfall problems? It may not be totally solvable, but I will try to make it work given sufficient examples.
