[AmeerNuub]

lol damn...

You see? YOU SEE HAYDEN???!!!! Please, sir, please don't make us wait for perfection or packaged multi-fixes... please release what you have for skyrim! Beggin ya!

[AmeerNuub]

Found a program we should probably all use. Skyrim unplugged.

Looks pretty cool. Can anyone confirm this works?

[AmeerNuub]

Amazingly I actually had a copy of the TESV.exe saved that is from 1.5.24. Didn't even realize it until an hour ago heh.

I agree with Evil Engineer... email a copy please? And you know it also needs the two other files...

[EvilEngineer]

Found a copy of the 1.5.24 patch on Pirates bay. Confirmed it works with the existing helifax fix.

Very sad when I have to go look on a pirates site for something I paid money for...

Now, Back to Skyrim!

(I'd post the link... but the forum mods don't like link to pirate software sites... so gonna just have to say go find it.)

Other two files?

I can try and email the exe to you guys, pm me with your email addies if you want me to do so.

Yeah, to my knowledge to change the version you need to replace the TESV.exe, interface.bsa, and Update.esm files, all from the version you want.

Hmm, well all I can say is that I just copied the previous exe over and I was able to play with no problems. The only thing I ran into was that an ini setting in the SkyUI config that handles item images got reset, other than that I haven't encountered any problems yet.

That's how I got mine to work. Main thing is that the injections the Helifax fix works on attaches to the TESV.exe, so as long as it matches, the fix should work. Cracked version might not, as they modified and recompiled the original exe.

[quote]Honestly in prior patches all I needed was to put in the correct TESV.exe to get my old patches to work. Think i've got an old 1.3v sitting around that worked with Hayden's patch just for this reason. Though I wanted 1.5 so I could use mods =/

Forgot to save a backup copy of the 1.5.24 exe.

Yeah, that's what I mean. With all the known complaints and issues, I can't believe there isn't a package available somewhere on the internet with each and every version that's been updated. I'm looking for 1.3 or so. Looks like Hayden is close to release with his next fix, but like I said, so many are left skyrimless until then without those older version files.

Contains only the files from Skyrim install that changed, so hopefully doesn't get axed for copyright.

Also included a copy of Hayden's v0.91, and a copy of Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) version 1.04.02 which is compatible with Skyrim version 1.3. The latter is only necessary if you're using a mod that requires it.

Oh wow, sweet!!! Thanks so much friend. I really do appreciate that. All is up and running back at 1.3.

The files that matter are still hosted by big name sites who are "on the radar" with much bigger pockets, so I really don't think there's much copyright stuff to worry about... it's just that their hosted files are for 1.1, which doesn't do us much good.

Thanks again...

Good to hear, glad I could help.

2. The interface. Mods like Skyui are a great platform and something we should really try to learn a lot from to develop our own adaptation of the mod for multi-mon.

Has anyone contacted the Skyui mod maker and asked if he could scale it down? Look as though if it were scaled down 40-50% it would fit on one screen

Well the setup for skyui does have a custom setting for multimon resolution. However, without the helifax fix it has the same problem the normal UI does where it is off the screen.

I will make the update for the latest Skyrim tomorrow... Sorry for taken that long but I simply haven't had the time to attend to it:)

Hello all,

Updated the Fix for Skyrim version: 1.5.26.0.5

It contains the same features, usability as the previous fix. You can download the file attached here or wait until later today when it will be part of WSF:)

Now it's time for you to go Skyriming again;))

Best Regards,

Thanks Helifax!

[onthemour]

Awesome thanks again

Hi,

I just ran the latest WSF executable with Helifaxs latest plugin with ver 1.5.26 and the intro menu on Skyrims continue, load game page is missing. Hitting enter loaded the game automatically anyhow but at first non of the menus were displaying so I logged off windows and logged back in and tried it again. Read the instructions again and noted it said to hit '*' in game to load WSF. Not sure if that did anything because initial continue, load game menu was missing but this time after blindly loading my last game the menus are working!

Is there anything I did wrong?

Thanks

[AmeerNuub]

Helifax definitely gets the award for promptness. Awesome.

I went ahead and tried the new update and new fix, and it still doesn't work for me. Even adjusted the delay for when the fix is injected, but no go. But it's no biggie... the files for a 1.3 revert were posted in this thread so I'm using Hayden's 1.3 fix until he releases the new one.

For info's sake, I did confirm (for my setup) that it wasn't my imagination... for me, the new fix (even though it doesn't work for me) and new versions ( 1.5 etc. even without any fix running) seem to make my gameplay choppy. Low FPS. Seems strange to me, since the newest card drivers and game updates are supposed to have such better performance optimizations. When I'm running 1.3 it's smooth as glass. Hope hayden's new fix isn't choppy too...

Hi i'm new to WSGF (Well not too new but just created an account) So hi everyone.

I'd just like a huge thanks for the work put into making Skyrim work on eyefinity, However with the latest update Posted just 2-3 posts before mine I don't seem to have any menu's when I get into Skyrim, game will load and I can see that the loader has done it's job (ish) However I just cannot see any of the menu options, Continue, Load, New game, Options etc is completely missing. I deleted the previous Skyrim plugin and put this one in and I can't seem to get it to work, is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advanced.
