Reilyh they/them

Context for my setup: I was running it under wine with an Intel i3 with iGPU. I didn’t take “no” as an answer, if I wanted to play Skyrim, I will play Skyrim. Since I can’t use dxvk, I had to use Gallium Nine. In the end Gallium Nine gave me the biggest boost, now interiors average about 40-45 fps, and exteriors are about 25-30. I was also crazy enough to want to play with some 150+ mods, so there’s no one to blame here but me.

It might as well be. Lots of mods got deleted, then there is the split between Legendary Edition, and whatever the newer two versions are, so now we have a shit ton of backports and forward ports of many mods. Skyrim modding was a nightmare, I can’t even imagine trying to mod say, Fallout: New Vegas.

Hell fucking yeah. When running Skyrim I had to play it on such a low resolution it looked like a PS1 game, I also removed trees, reduced mountain textures to 256x256px, and many other mods I put into a group called “Schizo Performance Mods.”
