Guys this is awesome! The Skywind team hopes this will also be a 64 bit engine like fallout 4.

[–]TheKingofHearts 197ポイント198ポイント  (25子コメント)

Will this make life easier on Skywind? I don't know things...

[–]AssCrackBanditHunter 368ポイント369ポイント  (24子コメント)

It'll make life easier for literally every modders not having the 4gb limit looming overhead

[–]Mystical_17 102ポイント103ポイント  (20子コメント)

Basically going past the 32 bit 4GB cap does this mean with 64 bit we'll be able to actually utilize at least half the ram in our pc? If Skyrim could use just half the ram my pc has (16) then that would be so awesome.

[–]wevelpcmr 85ポイント86ポイント  (16子コメント)

a 64-bit system can support (theoretically) up to 16 exabytes of ram which are 16 billion of gigabytes

[–]deathnutz 57ポイント58ポイント  (4子コメント)

My PC is just ram. 16 exabytes handles everything.

[–]SomeCoolBloke 24ポイント25ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, but what if I wanted to simulate 3D tentacle porn using hyper realistic computational biology, while having rendering near equal to reality? Would 16 exabytes of RAM be enough?

[–]RaVashaanPC 31ポイント32ポイント  (9子コメント)

In reality though, the limit is 2 terabytes for Windows 10 Pro, and 128 gigabytes for the Home edition.

Still far more than any modern desktop motherboard can physically handle, though.

[–]Artefact2[🍰] 31ポイント32ポイント  (7子コメント)

128 TB for Linux. We win again !

[–]Artefact2[🍰] 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's actually more relevant than you think, because I won't be able to play this new edition. Wine has no D3D11 support yet, and I highly doubt it will be ready by october. This is why Fallout 4 has garbage rating on the appdb as of now.

I don't blame the Wine guys though. They're doing amazing work.

64bit applications can be allocated more RAM than anybody should reasonably have in their computer. If you had nothing else but your operating system running in the background, you could use 12 or maybe even 14 GB just on Skyrim*. With tons of mods installed all loading stuff into memory, this will make a big difference.

*Not accounting for RAM optimization(sometimes using too much RAM will cause programs to continuously pull stuff in and out of memory causing overall performance slowdown, for example evidence suggests vanilla Minecraft has a "sweet spot" of RAM allocation for best performance).

[–]Mystical_17 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thats pretty exciting. I've not modded Fallout 4 before for pc but I can imagine most modders have been able to focus on making the mods great instead of worrying about stability issues since its 64 bit. Really excited to see what we can do with this new Skyrim this fall.

[–]Yuzumi 48ポイント49ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm so glad I upped my memory to 16 gigs now.

[–]Nanemae 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Me too. I can't even run Fallout 4 well at all on my laptop, but that x64 capability, mmmmm.

[–]payl0ad 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you're on PC, there is no practical 4GB limit anymore, anyway. But it's achieved with hacks: SKSE and ENB, which do work fine though.

[–]Jarl_BridgewaterPC 21ポイント22ポイント  (15子コメント)

You've all come a long ways. Keep up the great work. Super hyped for it.

[–]Bozzz1PC 1064ポイント1065ポイント  (84子コメント)

Thank God. This will actually be a huge benefit for PC players as well as console players because it will run on an updated engine, better DirectX, and x64 architecture instead of x32. This means Skyrim will make way better use of memory and we should be able to get better frames with the same mods.

Edit: x86, not x32

[–]AssCrackBanditHunter 421ポイント422ポイント  (39子コメント)

It means no more weird ass enb/shes's memory patches. It means no more crashes just because you installed a couple 2k texture packs or used dyndolod. It means a ton of the expensive lighting tweaks that enb handles can now be done cheaply in engine. It means the game can now take advantage of more than 2 cores.

I can't wait for this shit.

[–]Wyatt1313PC 212ポイント213ポイント  (35子コメント)

Bethesda is fucking brilliant. Pc mods have made skyrim last for 5 years and was still going strong. With and update it's going to easily last for another 5. They know pc users make the mods and its mods that make a game timeless. I am so excited to see what this new version of skyrim will become in a few years.

[–]dawnfiresPC 130ポイント131ポイント  (12子コメント)

Doesn't it feel weird that it's only 5 years? Skyrim has been such a huge part of my gaming life that it feels like so much longer.

[–]VectoorPC 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

It honestly feels nuts it's been out for five years already.

[–]Kousuke-kun 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

I feel the same. Everyone is like "Wow it only has been 5 years?", but I'm here like "Holy shit, it has been 5 years?!".

[–]Wyatt1313PC 24ポイント25ポイント  (3子コメント)

IKR? I only did my last play through of skyrim a couple years ago when I built my rig. I've owned the game 3 times. The last time felt like a brand new game, by God can mods make a difference. I modded my game to the max to when I used a spell it put a big red X where my spell was going to hit because the scripting engine was lagging behind and couldn't keep up. Really fucked my game but it shows how behind the engine was because of how limited it was. I'm so excited for this, I can't wait to have another playthrough. Also I hope the fix the grey face problem. It was a huge pain in the last one with head and body seams not matching up.

[–]TheOtherShik 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

There's a few tools to fix those seams. When in doubt about an issue, google it. There's probably a mod for it lmao

[–]Wyatt1313PC 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

For the most part there was. It was just an issue with vampirism. It changed the race of people's heads but not the bodies and made grey face happen. There was really no fix. I tried multiple fixes that worked for individual npcs but if I turned a random person and made them my follower there was no blanket fix to not make them grey face. I really hope this is all fixed in the new edition.

[–]TheOtherShik 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can't imagine why it wouldn't be. They're improving the mesh system they use (at least it would make sense to) so those seams will probably be much less noticeable at the ever least.

[–]squid_actually 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Really? I feel the opposite. I mean I have twice as many hours logged on skyrim than I have on any other game and I feel like, I can't believe that it came out 5 years ago. It always feels like a new shiny to me.

[–]boredguy12 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

it's true, if I couldn't mod skyrim to be realistic and expect updates on the nexus nearly as weekly as RUNESCAPE used to update in the 04-08 era (aka weekly) then I wouldn't have put a thousand hours into it, and just as many browsing the nexus.

[–]LavosYT 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

they probably could have released this better version instead of the original skyrim if they didn't have to deal with last-gen

[–]Mystical_17 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is why 64 bit is a very good thing for pc Skyrim. Its also why I am so hyped for this. Having 64 bit access alone for Skyrim is so epic in my books. Cannot wait to get new version of game and shove it full of the mods I've collected over the years to see them run better than ever.

[–]Yuzumi 53ポイント54ポイント  (7子コメント)

My biggest question is if it will be backwards compatible with mods? Obviously if it's still using the same type of system, basic mods could still work.

If SKSE is the only thing that needs a major update for this I'm all for it. If not...

[–]MicahGhost 45ポイント46ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yes SKSE will be the only thing you would need to update, SKSE for 64 bit is technically already created. The same team that made SKSE also made a scrip extender for fallout 4. Sense they use the same engine they would just take what they did to make FOSE run on a 64 bit engine and port it to Skyrim.

[–]Gammett 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Stop making my mouth water!

[–]RaVashaanPC 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mod Organizer users will also need a 64-bit version due to the way virtual folders are handled. MO for Fallout 4 should be able to handle the job with a few tweaks.

[–]Retlaw83 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's not exactly how the script extenders work, or else the Fallout 4 script extender would already have all the features from the Skyrim one.

[–]ACleverMoosePC 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was wondering the same thing. I honestly would love to hear a technical explanation as to why or why not

[–]Psyko007 58ポイント59ポイント  (10子コメント)

But will people be updating their mods to work on the new Skyrim is the question. Money is on, not entirely. Unless the old mods somehow work on Special Edition with little effort.

[–]LandauTSTPC 21ポイント22ポイント  (6子コメント)

That's what I'm hoping for. That, if need be, mods can be updated to work for it and with little effort.

[–]TopinambourSansSel 14ポイント15ポイント  (4子コメント)

That's the real question. Right now, my Skyrim looks better than their HD version and has a ton of really awesome mods (some useless, some really great for quality of life). If I had to chose, I'd pick the old but modded version. Hopefully I won't have to pick only one!

[–]Hawxaw 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

It would be nice if the "upgrade" was a new instance of the game so you can nostalgia trip to the vanilla experience anytime!

[–]Phito41PC 23ポイント24ポイント  (3子コメント)

x64 architecture instead of x32 x86

FTFY

[–]AsuMagic 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fun fact : x32 exists, but not as an architecture, instead as an architecture in Linux allowing to have the benefits of x86-64 programs, but with 32-bit pointers which results in still 4GB maximum memory.

[–]Darkemaster 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

[–]EptiomePC 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, you likely wont have to upgrade. I imagine it is optional .

[–]hammerjam 320ポイント321ポイント  (22子コメント)

What a big sigh of relief. I was worried I would have to buy a new full priced game to get a better experience. Curious how the new version will work with old mods, though. The current version of Skyrim has been out for a LONG time and some mods wont ever be updated again.

[–]TheMonsterVotary 109ポイント110ポイント  (20子コメント)

Considering it's a new engine, I doubt the old mods will even work.

[–]AssCrackBanditHunter 84ポイント85ポイント  (6子コメント)

As long as all references are the same, the mods should work. It likely will be compatible with old scripts. I'm fairly certain Bethesda is making this a smooth transition

[–]JackRabbit-PC 35ポイント36ポイント  (5子コメント)

Modding is one of the biggest draws for Bethesda games. I'm 100% sure no ones getting screwed over in this

[–]hammerjam 36ポイント37ポイント  (10子コメント)

What makes you think it's a new engine? Fallout 4 and Skyrim both run on the same Creation Engine.

[–]TJGM 51ポイント52ポイント  (4子コメント)

Different versions of the engine though.

[–]Yuzumi 30ポイント31ポイント  (1子コメント)

Same scripting system. Unless the deprecated old things, it should more or less be fine.

The big issue is things that relied on the unofficial patches or SKSE.

[–]CaptainMoonman 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which was damn near everything. How much stuff required SkyUI to work properly? That had to be run with the SKSE.

[–]SexyMrSkeltal 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

People have been porting their mods from Skyrim to Fallout 4 quite easily lately.

[–]Contra_PaynePS3 12ポイント13ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's the FO4 Creation Engine. Should be DX11 and x64, removing the memory limits of the current engine.

[–]hammerjam 16ポイント17ポイント  (3子コメント)

If it is Fallout's engine then we'll get physically-based rendering as well as the volumetric lighting that we've already seen. Oh, Jeebus, specular maps for the textures in Dwemer ruins is gonna be THE SHIT.

[–]naton566 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

I normally do a plain warrior for first and main playthroughs, but I'm thinking of jumping in as a mage just for the magic effects!

[–]myarta 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

If they are changing their scripting engine and their data structure, then they would have to re-do all of the vanilla content as well, because you can open all that stuff up with TESVEdit and see it all uses the same stuff that mods use. Rewriting all those quests, editing all the locations because the old CELL records are incompatible? I don't think so. More likely they are just updating the engine but keeping the same input data format for content. Some mods that touch DLLs and stuff should need revising for x64, I imagine, but all the rest that are .esm/esp files should be fine.

[–]desertcoyote77 81ポイント82ポイント  (11子コメント)

Now I'm wondering what improvements have been made beyond the visual. In fact, visual upgrades are the least of my interests in the game. Mod limits, memory limits... these are what I want fixed.

[–]Ryanc621 34ポイント35ポイント  (9子コメント)

I bet they implemented Fallout 4's loot system, where time doesn't freeze. Maybe they've updated the player models too like Fo4, to the more realistic characters

[–]IAMA_IronMan 34ポイント35ポイント  (8子コメント)

God I hope they updated the loot system. I never realized how much of a hassle opening the object's inventory was until I didn't have to do it anymore. I don't want to go back

[–]dedicated2fitness 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

i wish there was an option to go back. i used to end up with loads of crap on missions(before the robot dlc dropped) and i'd have to choose between keeping multiple guns for screws or keeping multiple microscopes for radioactives.
still kinda hate it that my regular companions are essentially useless for loot whores like me

[–]myarta 25ポイント26ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. I hope they also raised the mod limit from 256 to 512 or 1024 or more. The memory limit should help with crashes or display corruption which used to plague my games, but not having to make combo patches/bashes to stay under the limit would be a nice convenience and not a whole lot of work on their part, I imagine.

[–]The22ndRaptor 78ポイント79ポイント  (12子コメント)

If Skyrim: Special Edition is installed separately, nice. If it's an upgrade to the game...well, I can make it work.

[–]artvark99 72ポイント73ポイント  (10子コメント)

This is pretty ignorant of me, but for clarification: all add-ons = Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfire?

[–]kaltivelPC 11ポイント12ポイント  (4子コメント)

I'd say so. Grab HD Textures free DLC just in case?

[–]artvark99 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

Actually, just checked the steam store page and saw this, which did include the HD texture pack.

[–]Yuzumi 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not sure if this is what you were going for, but a lot of the best player home mods I've found require Hearthfire to run.

[–]NexusChummer 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Really? I didn't knew that. I already played with home mods when hearthfire was released, so I thought it's not really necessary to buy that. Especially since I wasn't overly convinced by the official houses. I would've loved to get a DLC which allows you to build and improve a cool looking fortress or castle, though.

To people complaining about it not being free for console owners of the LE: NOBODY would buy this on PC, so might as well give it to them for free so they can make more mods for console players.

[–]xNaquada 103ポイント104ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm guessing this is exactly the reason it's happening, but we'll never get that verbatim out of someone's mouth at Beth.

And I'll give credit, Bethesda has made a smart business decision given how heavily they push modding as a perk of the console version.

[–]thanmichPC 30ポイント31ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep Bethesda never exactly said it outright however it was very much hinted towards it. Todd said something along the lines of we thought it was the right thing to do to PC players as they are they biggest part of the modding community as they are the ones that create the mods and make them for consoles.

[–]uss1701jbPC 13ポイント14ポイント  (10子コメント)

Also, how would you track console owners of the LE? I don't know if MS and Sony had online stores where the LE was sold, but surely most people bought it physical.

Do all games have some sort of unique serial number you could input somewhere to verify? It could be a one time use type of thing unless you deactivate to install somewhere else. Kind of on the DRM side of things, but you're at least getting a free upgrade.

I'm wondering if this will up the system requirements at all for those of us with less than stellar PCs. As it is now I can run the game decently with no real complaints (other than wanting better graphics), but hopefully this update won't make the game unplayable.

Steam typically auto-updates games, and looking at the options for Skyrim I don't see a way to turn off updates completely. It's either "Auto-update this game" or "Update this game when I launch it".

[–]wheatleygone 24ポイント25ポイント  (0子コメント)

It was just officially announced only an hour or so ago: Skyrim remastered into, apparently, Fallout 4's engine, with significant visual improvements and presumably more optimization.

The main draw is mostly for consoles: neither of the current-gen consoles even had Skyrim before now, and with this edition they'll also have the console mods option Fallout 4 had.

[–]LightsOut5774PC 10ポイント11ポイント  (11子コメント)

The Special Edition is a remastered version of the game for all 3 platforms.

Yes!

[–]PhoenixnessPC 5ポイント6ポイント  (10子コメント)

when you say remastered, do you mean, upgraded but same story line/missions/quirks

or new game same name; new stuff, new easter eggs, etc.

[–]LightsOut5774PC 10ポイント11ポイント  (9子コメント)

From what was displayed tonight, it seems that they are just upgrading the textures even higher than the official HD Texture Pack, as well as adding some new effects that weren't part of the vanilla version of the game. So yeah just visual upgrades, no new missions or Easter eggs

Hopefully physics on clothing and hair now as well.

[–]LightsOut5774PC 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

As will all recent remasters, everything in the game, including characters and creatures, get upgraded textures.

[–]PhoenixnessPC 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

What about bug fixes?/unofficial/official patches?

[–]eddmarioXBOX 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The Unofficial Patch for Fallout 4 is available on consoles, so the Skyrim one might be available as well.

I am afraid this will make quite a bad performance impact on my toaster.

[–]ReauxgPS3 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

My first thought was that I would get a free copy for PS4- took a minute for me to think it through. Oh well. This will be the third time I've bought the game, and I'm sure I'll get another 200 hours in.

[–]besyuzikiPC 20ポイント21ポイント  (5子コメント)

This is a hell of a gesture in the age of selling the same game multiple times.

I wonder if the update will replace legacy Skyrim altogether, or it will be a separate entry on Steam.

New engine and possibilities sound awesome, but I have concerns like system requirements, mod compatibility, etc. and it'd be nice to keep both options.

[–]Yuzumi 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's probably to bait the mod developers to add mods for the consoles.

[–]cooleemeePC 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It'll be a separate entity on Steam, according to people higher up in the thread.

[–]Rhadamanthus2020PC 14ポイント15ポイント  (42子コメント)

So, should I get my free upgrade to Win10 now, then deal with Skyrim not working, work to fix that, then get the Skyrim Special Edition? Or should I do both all at the same time?

[–]KingsBladePC 39ポイント40ポイント  (22子コメント)

The free upgrade to windows 10 won't be around by october. Just upgrade now, while you still can.

[–]283leisPC 6ポイント7ポイント  (7子コメント)

Is Windows 10 even worth it? I actually like Windows 8 as a whole, and really dont see the need to upgrade.

[–]KingsBladePC 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Windows 10 has directx 12, and will have longer support than windows 8. Coming from windows 7, it's not really that different, and I'd say it's worth it because it's free. However, the free upgrade period is ending soon, so if you're going to upgrade you should do it soon.

[–]jaffycake 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes, windows 10 fixes some annoyances of windows 8. Windows 8 is more like a beta test and windows 10 is the full version.

[–]Pukako 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Windows 7 is still wonderful, but 10 is much better than 8.

You can download various apps or mods to make 10 behave a lot like 7, and once you've disabled as many auto things as possible, it's quite bearable.

TLDR - Skyrim works well enough

[–]InprobamurPC 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's far better if you don't care for the removal of the Metro start screen.

Really like the better window tiling and multiple workspaces. File explorer is also much cleaner.

Even put it on my dad's ancient work computer, surprisingly works better than the old 32bit xp.

[–]Rhadamanthus2020PC 3ポイント4ポイント  (11子コメント)

<sigh> Yeah, I know. We should be able to download the upgrade and save it without installing. It's probably not a standard update-type install, though. I just hate changing OSes. Might have to just buy a whole new PC to deal with all this crap. Move this one over to the 'backup' desk. I'll miss my old XP backup system, though...

[–]KingsBladePC 7ポイント8ポイント  (9子コメント)

All the programs I have from windows 7 work on 10. I just tried playing skyrim(haven't played it since I upgraded) and it works fine.

[–]Rhadamanthus2020PC 3ポイント4ポイント  (7子コメント)

I'm on 8.1, and everything currently works for me (except F:NV) so I'm kinda leery of making the change beyond my usual OS fears. Probably should take the plunge; I just... <shakes fists helplessly at the sky>

[–]LupusYondergirlPC 7ポイント8ポイント  (4子コメント)

I've had no problem with New Vegas on Win 10. And FO3 actually seems to work better on 10 than it did on 7 and 8.

[–]moamstripes 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure they'll keep w10 free. They made the free year so a lot of people who didn't want the upgrade switch at the last moment so more people on w10. One week later they put it free again

[–]bobbyb500 7ポイント8ポイント  (9子コメント)

The free Windows 10 Upgrade expires in July. But if you upgrade now, then roll back to your old OS, you can go back to Windows 10 at any point in the future.

[–]Rhadamanthus2020PC 3ポイント4ポイント  (7子コメント)

Wow, they actually allow rollback? Interesting.

[–]bobbyb500 10ポイント11ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think you only have 30 days to roll back, but yes, it is an option. When I did the roll back, it seemingly restored my PC back to the exact state it was in before I upgraded with no issues.

[–]Blazer1001PC 94ポイント95ポイント  (15子コメント)

Tranlation: Back your shit up because on October 28 all your mods break and your game will look less pretty.

Edit: It is confirmed a separate game. I got it.

[–]OrdinaryMPC 95ポイント96ポイント  (7子コメント)

Surely this would be a completely different title added to your library?

[–]Sponge-worthyPC 36ポイント37ポイント  (0子コメント)

I would assume so. Steam will need to keep the existing versions around for those who only have vanilla or less-than-Legendary.

Dead Island, for example, just gave you the new version in addition to the prior one.

Oh thank god. I saw the video and there's no way my PC can run that shit. Even on the lowest settings NOW I only get about 25~ FPS and some stuttering in the game.

YES!!!!!!!!!

...oh wait, my laptop can barely run Skyrim on anything higher than low....

[–]fuzzypyrocatXBOX 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sooo can i buy all the add-ons now and then get the free upgrade still?

[–]Juan-SanPC 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good thing, 'cause I wasn't paying for it again, specially if it was gonna break my installed mods.

I just hope funds from this are put to use for TESVI.

The question is: Do I buy Dawnguard now for $20 or wait and see how much Special Edition is? Dawnguard is the only one I never bought.

Wait for the steam summer sale, it'll likely be on sale by then.

By your missing DLC during the steam summer sale. It starts on June 23rd

Already have everything so it looks like I'm gonna replay it again. Will there be any distance/lod improvement? I never cared for enb but getting get lod and view distance just right was always a pain in the ass.

[–]LosEagle 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'd be a lot warmer and a lot happier if they added new quests and released more patches instead.

[–]RealSarcasmBot 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

The world of Skyrim is actually really tiny, you can go across the whole world in about 24 hours on a horse (which is like 40 minutes irl) there's only so much you can cram in to world that size.

[–]ellimist 12ポイント13ポイント  (1子コメント)

But it feels huge. It's incredibly well done.

There is a reason why the FOV in Skyrim is so low...

Now introducing:

MOD WARS II:

The invasion of Skyrim

Allow me to elaborate, imagine the fallout 4 modding disaster, in Skyrim. That's right, consoles get mods too. Talos protect those mod authors...

I'm looking forward to this, despite my laptop probably won't be able to run it well.

Guess I'll find out in October!

Will this finally mean skyrim will use more than 4gb of fucking ram?

is it known if they did any bugfixes for stuff that we had to use unofficial patches before?
