Hi Boris,
You should REALLY tweak your inis and add some texture mods.
This is how it looks at Ugrid=7 and your latest ENB :

(PS : antispam feature wont let me post without this trick)
Thanks for your outstanding mod !

Re: TES Skyrim 0.214
May be i choosed wrong area for testing errors with ugrid=11, but all the times it's multithreading deadlock problem, such error hard to fix and many times harder without sources of game. I don't want absolutely to fix such problems even for applications with open source, one of the most complex task in modern programming, so tried to find all hidden variables for skyrimprefs.ini and skyrim.ini to disable most threads (no extra threads - no deadlocks), but in some cases game freeze at the end of loading or there is no affect at all. When i modified such parameters, got what you see on screenshot and first reaction was LOL!, but few seconds later "this game making fool from me". Sorry guys, i'm not in good mood last time and this issue require a lot of attention, also i don't have experience with fixing multithreading bugs without sources (i'm rarely disassemble anything, mostly to work on optimizations), so i'll drop the idea to fix this. Sometime later will try to turn off different parts of code like no geometry, no textures creation, no dinput, may be this will help to localize bug. I can't just turn off code where threads stuck in waiting, this is huge risk to broke everything, not in current moment, but kind of timebomb also.

For me your screenshot is crap also, only bigger distance of drawing some objects and nothing else.

Re: TES Skyrim 0.214
Thank you for investigation, Boris. Do not bother yourself with such terrible things (stupid bethesda). The other guy is also looking into it, so we still have the hope.

That's the point. I have yet to see ANY screenshot that really makes Skyrim distant terrain worth looking at, no matter what uGrid...ENBSeries wrote: dricks2222

I prefer to use stuff like EDT/Trudgement Day and Distant Detail, so it looks a bit more grainy and "not totally dead", and let Somber gracefully blur out the fact that this is Skyrim
Roughly same perspective: http://d.pr/i/4RmF
Anyways, the things at hand are way more intriguing, why look far away - every bar wench in Dawnstar is more enjoyable to look at than Skyrim Engine LoDs at uGrid 500 - and I doubt even Boris could fix that.

Re: TES Skyrim 0.214
Tried one trick with antialiasing for grass and bushes, seems work in most cases, but at cost of performance. Not sure yet, add it as new type of antialiasing or group together with hardware transparency antialiasing in enblocal.ini.

I have a rudimentary fix for the threading deadlock, but I'm not convinced it's stable right now.

Altimor
I hope you didn't changes to functions of critical sections or other similar as it's not solution, rather new bug. Please confirm or users will corrupt their saves.
I was wrong with that antialiasing trick, even for grass only it's very slow, at 1152*864 frame rate changed from 44 to 35 when enabled and when staying in grass field near whiterun, grass is already slow for modified games. Hardware transparency supersampling on NVidia and alpha to coverage multisampling on AMD have same performance drop, but they of course only when MSAA enabled in game.

Re: TES Skyrim 0.214
Hmm, just thought that replacing thread sync functions can be good idea, if to bypass only specific threads. Gonna try myself, but such simplest tricks require heavy testing.

Re: TES Skyrim 0.214
I stop a specific WaitForSingleObject several calls deep in CellRefLockEnter, I'm aware it's probably not safe and that's why I'm not releasing it yet.
