tech support wanted Skyrim

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I know it's a Bethesda title but i don't think it's supposed to do this, right? I have it on Steam and i've tried several Proton versions.

EDIT: found this solution on protondb.com and it seems to be working properly now: https://www.protondb.com/app/72850#sVN2FP1d3G

either install the display tweaks SSE mod or cap your frame rate to 60

It does this on Windows, too! The issue is that the engine can't handle more than 60 fps and you have to limit it.

Engine issue, unrelated to Proton. Install SKSE and SSE display tweaks or cap your framerate to 60.

Amethyst Mod Manager (https://github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager) has been working the best for me to install mods.

That reminds me of fallout 4 the first time I tried 300+ unlocked FPS

Found out the game runs best at 30 cause the FPS was tied to the physics

I would fail to jump platforms, and traps would drop so hard they'd bounce and clip and murder people in other rooms

No idea if it's the same issue you're having, but it certainly reminded me of it

All of their games had it, even 76 had it at launch where you could look down and run quicker because of the fps, I think starfield was the only one to have it actually fixed on launch

Am I the only one who thinks this look hilarious? Is there a version with audio? Is the audio messed up too?

No idea why the screen recorder didn't catch the audio but that was the only thing working as intended.

lol. This typically only happens when you mod the shit out of your game.

If the physics are spazzing out due to uncapped frame rates then you can probably fix it with this:

I was able to fix this by adding DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 as a launch option.
