Skyboost verification?

[Reklaw]

Other than my FPS, is there a way I can confirm whether or not Sky Boost is working?

The only way you could do that is if it was using SKSE, which it isn't.

Ok so I installed skyboost and my frame rate went from high 20' s to single digits.. I then removed skyboost and the frame rate still sucks... What gives? Is there a way I can find out what's going on?

I don't know much about skyboost, but i've been seeing a lot of complaints. Maybe I could recommend a different mod to help boost performance? That mod would be TESV Acceleration Layer. It does require SKSE, but with SKSE you can confirm that the mod is working at least.

Thanks for the advice. I tried the TSEV accel layer but it was a bit confusing. I guess skyboost is the new version and is easier to use. I honestly haven't seen any complaints.. I'm just trying to enjoy the game on my Mac and get a slight framerate boost.

Hmm, I see skyboost just came out. It's actually supposed to be better than TESV AL. However, I see it utilizes SSE2 technology. Does your CPU use SSE2? If not then it won't work properly and won't help you at all.

Edit: All INTEL Macs support SSE2.

Edit(Found This): When SkyBoost is loaded successfully for the first time, it will create a log file "asiloader.log", which in case you are removing SkyBoost later on, you might want to remove this file as well.

Thanks for the help. I just did a fresh install, the strange thing is when I installed the game initially it reccommended high settings. Now it is reccomending low. I have it on high and will see how it looks outdoors. I will look for that file as well.

I will try skyboost one more time.

My progression went from playing SKYRIM vanilla on high settings with AA at X4 and the other thing (can't remember what it's called) at X8. That was what the launcher reccomended based on my system/ card etc. it ran well enough, I tried The TESV AL first but was to scared to muck something up. I deleted anything relating to it from my SKYRIM folder. Then I did the skyboost and it halved my frame rate. I deleted the 2 files from skyboost and my frame rate still sucked. I just did a clean install and now the launcher is reccomending low settings...makes no sense.. I'm pretty sure the origional reccomended settings would work but can't figure why the launcher would change its default settings for my system.

 

[Finalchrono]

Hmm, i'm not sure. I mean have you tried playing back on high settings regardless?

 

[Reklaw]

Yeah, I'm just straying the game on my computer, (I have it for 360 also). And I am enroute to river wood. Run ok on high but only with AA off. It ran fine with it on before and def. looked better. No idea... Thanks man, I'll figure it out.

I meant playing. Sorry, on my phone..

Well TESV AL does something slightly similar to skyboost, it just takes common code fetches and links them together in one file to make it much more quicker for access time. However, skyboost has something additional that i'm not sure what it does exactly. That could have done something to your global settings on your graphics card.

You'll have to excuse me, Im new to all this stuff. Is there something I can do to check that?
