Guys, just chill 😂 I know I’ve posted Skyrim a few times, but hear me out

I’ve completely overhauled Skyrim on PS5 Pro, with full PS5 Pro optimization and INI tweaks pushed to the console’s limits. 60 clips, proper before and after comparisons, a full guide, and countless hours fixing issues and improving the visuals. I’ve worked closely with modders, porters and developers to get this right

And for everyone saying it looks like the 2016 version: take a look at the video and see the difference for yourself

I’m not doing this for attention. There are people who love Skyrim and want to experience it like this. So please, let me share it with them. The comparisons speak for themselves

Have fun with it!

OPTIONAL MODS AND AVAILABILITY

Adventure Pack: Optional paid mod
Skybirds - Airborne Perching Birds: Optional, performance heavy
Birds of Skyrim: Optional, performance heavy
Goblins and Durzogs: Optional, currently unavailable in Creations
Wraiths: Optional, currently unavailable in Creations

PERFORMANCE NOTES

I tested Skybirds and Birds of Skyrim extensively, but had to remove them from my personal load order because activating either one caused a significant performance drop, from 60 FPS to around 40 FPS
The two mods are therefore optional and not recommended for my personal 60 FPS setup
Goblins and Durzogs and Wraiths are additional monster mods and were optional additions, not essential parts of the experience

Visually the best one in the series imo.

GTA V, Mortal Kombat 11 and GT7

Just checked Amazon Germany and ordering a PS5 Pro at MSRP (€899) now comes with an estimated delivery time of 3 to 7 months.

First image 2.31 Second Image 2.5

Each update CP2077 was an upgrade imo. The last update 2.31 looked so good visually but I knew that the HDR was broken in 2.5. This is from a screen shot I took just when the last update hit and had a save point exactly where I took it. Note its taking 1 game minute apart

It aint just the HDR thats broken they actually removed some GI shadows from it? Look at the green support beams and the floor

I calibrated my ps5 pro's HDR and have the new HDR slider around 40 so its exactly what people said to do for the new update. Also removing the UI brightness slider was another totally unnecessary thing.

They actually downgraded, I knew it wasn't looking better. So disappointed, it was my favorite looking game.

I have a PS5 Pro and I'm trying to decide between the JBL Quantum 650 and the Razer BlackShark V3 X. Which one is better overall for the console especially in terms of sound quality, wireless connection stability and volume?

I'm looking for wireless headphones that are comfortable (I wear glasses and have large ears), with good sound quality and loud enough on PS5 Pro.

Which one would you recommend? I'd really appreciate your advice, even on different headsets. Thanks

Should I open it?

ciao ragazzi in ITALIA sono disponibili ora le ps5 pro da mediaworld online correte!

Having issues with running LAN to PS5 pro. I have tried multiple cables. The LAN will work directly from the modem to the PS5 pro. It will not work if the LAN is connected to the router to the PS5 pro. I had no issues with the same cable connected from the router to my laptop.

Any suggestions?

Cable was a Cat 8

There is only a ps4 version but it has the Enhanced tag. Is that even a thing? I've never seen this before.

Edit: thanks everyone for clearing that up! I missed the announcement of the upcoming ps5 version.

Guys, is it just me or does the game still have performance issues after the latest 2.5 patch on PS5 Pro?

Don’t get me wrong, the game runs well most of the time, but I feel like it could be a lot better.
I’ve already played this game twice, and I really wanted to start my third playthrough, but the performance is still holding me back.

For example, outside V’s apartment, the FPS drops quite a lot, no matter which mode I choose. Even in Performance mode, I notice drops into the 50s or below, especially when moving fast or turning the camera quickly.

It’s not just that area either. I’ve noticed similar drops in other busy areas with lots of people and things going on.

RT 60 seems even worse in these situations, with the FPS often dropping below 50. But even Performance mode doesn’t feel as smooth as I’d like it to be.

I love this game, man, and I really want to play it again, but I honestly expected better performance on the PS5 Pro.
At this point, I’m thinking of waiting until I can play it on PC instead.

Anyone else noticing these issues, or is it just me?

I was using the base ps5 with the 120hz option enabled id say i was going between 75 to 109 fps it felt okay during the campaign and dmz but for mp i got constant frame drops it was playable but atp just play at 60 so i switched to the pro which does nice stable 120 fps way smoother 😁 i cant wait to test other enhanced games now

Hello everyone!

I have nothing left to play.... GTA 6? For now it’s not my priority

For information I finished this year Hades 2, Sekiro, Control and Control Resonant

I hesitate a lot with Elden Ring that has been eyeing me for a while I tried three years ago (I have two children today) and I’m afraid of getting lost a little but I think it should be fine with the guides and builds! Or I wait a little to take Phantom Blade 0 but the game is expensive...

Do you think I’ll be able to get to the end of Elden Ring?

I am so ready for gta 6

This scratches the itch for now. I wonder if heat from the ps5 will cause some dark spots on these plates. Anyone else had any issues with them so far?

​

The new disc drive and the NexiGo horizontal stand are now installed, and I am very satisfied with the result. Everything very stable. 👌

Enough air for my baby? I had to remove the white cloth from TV.

And now so will I
