The Dockworker: Author's Note: Trouble at the Shipyard

  • Posted by Clement Bilhorn September 20, 2013 - 579 views

    Hello, everyone.

    Sorry for the long delays in getting the new episode up. The problem is that my PC has been having conniptions for several weeks. The graphics card died, but I needed a new one anyways. The more pressing issue is that my computer has forgotten, apparently, how to interpret input from a mouse. A full Windows reinstall didn't fix the issue, and neither did a new mouse, so this could be a while before I get it solved.

    So, my gravest apologies for the long delay. At the same time, if any of you are knowledgeable about Windows 7 and its associated quirks, your expertise would be considered invaluable.

    ~Clement

    I rather like realistic lighting overhaul. Not sure if i would want that for screenshots inside or at nights though as it can get dark. One nice immersion feature is that when you get to a dark place its totally dark, but if you wait a little, then you st...  more

    Well, I'll definitely be toying with the graphics and mods and stuff before the next post, so we'll see how it goes.

    Hmm... interesting, I didn't have such an issue. Of course, I also run less mods than I'd like due to system strain. Did you try creating a bashed patch with Wrye Bash? There are always Realistic Lighting Overhaul and RCRN -- HDR Lighting and Weather Enha...  more

    I do know how to make them use furniture, but my people stay on the move so much it rarely matters.

    Climates of Tamriel is actually causing some of the problems. BOSS says there's no conflict, but I think it's goofing the shaders and causing th...  more

    Have you tried landscape improving mods by Hein84? They greatly improve visuals at almost no performance loss. I use them with 512 MB VRAM and don't experience any slowdowns! Of course there are Water, Ruins Clutter Improved, SMIM and Ultimate HD Fire Eff...  more

    Hah, we'll see. I need to find a mod that will improve the graphics more, first. I already have everything maxed out, although the lighting engine is becoming annoying. Everything seems darker outdoors.

    Now that's something you don't hear every day! Glad it worked out in the end and you can now add even better screenshots due to the new graphics card!

    Solved! The new mouse has started working. I think, somehow, the computer became convinced that the RMB was still being clicked. Since the mouse wasn't completely dead even after the reinstall, it was still firing rogue signals that were goofing up the LM...  more

    Weird... When you turn on your PC does it show 1 mouse 1 keyboard as Input on the Bios logo screen? I'd check the BIOS settings anyway. Check out this link, it might help: support.microsoft.com/kb/310923

    That certainly seems frustrating. Perhaps call the company and see if they know anything?
