[Render]

## Select the display mode.
#
#    true  - Exclusive fullscreen mode
#    false - Windowed mode
#
#  Note: This option overrides 'bFull Screen' in SkyrimPrefs.ini if uncommented.
#
Fullscreen = false

## Select windowed or borderless fullscreen mode. Only applies when Fullscreen=false.
#
#    true  - Borderless fullscreen
#    false - Windowed mode
#
#  Note: This option overrides 'bBorderless' in SkyrimPrefs.ini if uncommented.
#
Borderless = true

## Stretch game window across the entire screen in borderless fullscreen mode.
#
#  Use with a flip SwapEffect option for best results.
#
#  Note: For optimal performance and full feature support when upscaling, your
#        system must have windowed hardware composition support (check the log).
#        Windowed hardware composition only works with flip.
#
BorderlessUpscale = false

## Set the game resolution. Only applies in windowed and borderless fullscreen mode (when Fullscreen=false).
#
#  Provided for convenience. Easily scale or set the resolution in windowed/borderless fullsceen mode.
#
#  Note: These options override iSize W and iSize H in SkyrimPrefs.ini. They have no effect when commented out.

#
#  Valid range: 1-4
#
#  Provided as a separate option to avoid confusion.
#
#  It's recommended to leave this at the default value (1). Higher values effectively reduce framerate.
#  For example, a value of 2 at 60Hz would cut framerate in half.

#
#  Options starting with 'flip_' indicate DXGI flip model, a relatively new feature which greatly improves borderless
#  fullscreen performance. While testing I couldn't notice any difference in performance compared to exclusive fullscreen mode.
#  In contrast, the old presentation model suffers lower FPS and noticeable stuttering. Additionally, many features which used
#  to require exclusive fullscreen now work in borderless. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that G-Sync works without having
#  to enable it for windowed mode.
#
#  WARNING: Don't use flip model in exclusive fullscreen mode, the game might freeze on start.
#
#  Read more about DXGI flip model here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/dxgi-flip-model/
#
#  It's recommended to leave this on auto as the best option will be selected based on detected capabilities.
#
#  Note: Flip model requires at least Windows 8.1 (only flip_sequential supported), but I highly recommend Windows 10 Spring
#        Creators update or later if you want the best experience.
#
SwapEffect = auto

## Number of frames allowed to be queued for rendering.
#
#  NOTE: This option was renamed in 0.3.8. In earlier versions the option had no effect.
#
#  Valid range: 1-16 (0 leaves it at default)
#
#  Bethesda default is 2 for SE, 1 for AE.
#
#  WARNING: Values above 2 could have a negative impact on overall performance.
#
#  Tip:
#
#    Try NVIDIA's ultra low latency mode or AMD anti-lag, it may work even better. There
#    were still occasional stutters with MaxFrameLatency=1 depending on what I was looking
#    at, ULLM eliminated them completely.

#    Note that ULLM has a fixed FPS penalty. It seems that this is by design. The delta is larger
#    with higher fps, for example when you'd normally get 144 you'll see around 138 with latency set
#    to ultra.
#
#    Keep in mind that driver control panel settings take precedence so this option will be
#    overriden.

#     unspecified
#     centered
#     stretched
#
ScalingMode = unspecified

## Maximum allowed monitor refresh rate. Applies only in exclusive fullscreen mode.
#
#  This overrides Bethesda's hardcoded limitation of 60Hz. The game will request the highest
#  available refresh rate (as reported by DirectX), but there is no guarantee you'll actually
#  get it. It's completely up to your system.
#
#  You DO NOT NEED TO MESS WITH THIS SETTING unless you want to lower the refresh rate or
#  have a monitor capable of running above 240Hz. This is not a fixed value just an upper
#  limit of what the game is allowed to request.
#
MaximumRefreshRate = 240

## General framerate limit. Applies everywhere, except where more specific limits are set (see below).
#
#  Warning: This plugin replaces the built-in limiter by default, 'bLockFramerate' will have no effect.
#           If you want to limit the framerate, you'll have to explicitly configure it here.
#
#  Bethesda default: 60
#
FramerateLimit = 60

## Determines if the limiter is placed before or after frame presentation.

#
#  Uncapping the loading scren is supposed to load your game faster, however I've
#  found no evidence of that. If anything, it might induce ILS or crash your game.
#
#  It's recommended you leave this at 60 and LoadingScreenFramerateLimitVSyncOff=false.
#  If you do choose to uncap, do not set a limit above 120 FPS.

[HAVOK]

## Master switch.

Enabled = true

## Adjusts fMaxTime and fMaxTimeComplex dynamically based on current framerate.
#
#  If set to false, fMaxTime and fMaxTimeComplex will be calculated and set automatically based on MaximumFramerate
#  option (see below), but you'll lose the performance benefit which comes from re-adjusting these values each
#  frame to match the framerate.
#
#  Consider 'false' as 'static' mode, which calculates physics values automatically so you
#  don't have to.
#
#  Read the description of MaximumFramerate option below for more info.
#
#  It's recommended to leave this enabled.
#
#  Note: In contrast to Havok Fix, the method used here is compatible with any third party OSD tools
#        such as RivaTuner Statistics Server, since it hooks in the engine instead of the D3D libraries.
#
DynamicMaxTimeScaling = true

## fMaxTime and fMaxTimeComplex are not calculated below
## this threshold.
#
#  Lower values may benefit peformance if your system is struggling to render at 60 FPS.
#
#  Default: 60
#
MinimumFramerate = 60

## fMaxTime and fMaxTimeComplex are not calculated above this threshold.
#
#  If DynamicMaxTimeScaling=true and this is set to 0, the plugin attempts to determine this value
#  based on VSync (refresh rate) and FramerateLimit option. If it's unable to do so (for example if VSync
#  is off or mode is borderless fullscreen and no limit is set) it defaults to 240.
#
#  If DynamicMaxTimeScaling=false, this setting is used to calculate fMaxTime and fMaxTimeComplex once and
#  apply both values.
#  If DynamicMaxTimeScaling=false and this is set to 0, the plugin attempts to determine this value based
#  on VSync/refresh rate and FramerateLimit option. If it's unable to do so, it defaults to 60.
#
#  If Fullscreen=true and EnableVSync=true or FramerateLimit is set, it's recommended you set this to 0
#  to let the plugin determine the value automatically.
#  Otherwise make sure it's set a comfortable margin higher than the maximum framerate your machine can
#  achieve in-game (excluding menus and loading screens) or you will see physics issues. It's recommended
#  to set a framerate limit at or below this value (FramerateLimit option in Render section).
#
MaximumFramerate = 240

## Adjust the negative offset of fMaxTimeComplex relative to fMaxTime.
#
#  Valid range: 0 - 30
#
MaxTimeComplexOffset = 30

## Adjust amount of damage dealt when hit by physics objects based on frametime.
#
#  Note that this doesn't fix the faster collision response, only alleviates higher health damage at
#  higher framerates.
#
#  Since there's a good chance of getting killed in a misfortunate encounter with a kettle even at 60 FPS,
#  you can reduce or disable damage dealt with PhysicsDamageMult (valid range: 0 - 1).
#
PhysicsDamagePatch = true
PhysicsDamageMult = 1

## Lowers HAVOK engine CPU consumption at the expense of physics simulation quality.
#
#  Bethesda uses less demanding physics settings in "complex" scenes like civil war battles.
#  If this is enabled these settings will be used everywhere.
#
#  Only recommended on CPU-bound low-end systems.

[Controls]

## Fixes an issue where you're not able to move in third person at high framerates.
#
#  This issue can occur when movement is slowed, for example when over-encumbered or when
#  the bow is drawn. Keep in mind that you may experience the issue even at 60 FPS if
#  movement is slowed down enough.
#
#  If necessary, adjust MovementThreshold variable below.
#
ThirdPersonMovementFix = true

## Controls an internal variable related to movement/damping.
#
#  Lower values ensure movement works at lower movement speeds/higher framerate.

#  Bethesda default: 5
#
MovementThreshold = 0.25

## Untie first person horizontal look sensitivity from framerate when sitting down

#
MapMoveKeyboardSpeedFix = true

## Speed multiplier for keyboard map movement.
#
#  Only in effect when MapMoveKeyboardSpeedFix=true.
#
#  Valid range: -20 - 20. Negative values reverse the movement direction. 1 is roughly the
#  same speed as vanilla at 60 FPS.
#
MapMoveKeyboardSpeedMult = 1

## Untie auto vanity camera rotation speed from framerate.
#
AutoVanityCameraSpeedFix = true

## Untie dialogue look speed from framerate.
#
DialogueLookSpeedFix = true

## Ramp up look speed incrementally as the cursor approaches the edge of the screen.
#
#  Use [Controls] fPCDialogueLookStart in Skyrim.ini to set distance from the edge where the camera starts moving.
#
DialogueLookSmoothEdge = false

## Untie gamepad cursor speed from framerate.
#
#  Bethesda implemented this fix in 1.6.x (that's why this caused slow cursor movement) but they used
#  the wrong frame timer, one that's affected by global time multiplier. This patch corrects that and
#  unties cursor movement from in-game timescale.
#
GamepadCursorSpeedFix = true

## Untie lockpick mouse rotation speed from framerate.
#
#  Note that this bug slows down rotation with higher framerates, if you got used to the
#  slower speed adjust [Interface] fPickMouseRotationSpeed in Skyrim.ini (default is 15).
#
LockpickRotationSpeedFix = true

## Untie free camera vertical sensitivity from framerate.
#
FreeCameraVerticalSensitivityFix = false

## Untie free camera movement speed from framerate.
#
FreeCameraMovementSpeedFix = false

## These are only available on AE until Engine Fixes is updated.

## Untie vertical look sensitivity from framerate (EngineFixes)
#
VerticalLookSensitivityFix = true

## Fix camera movement sensitivity during slow time (EngineFixes)
#
SlowTimeCameraMovementFix = true


[Window]

## Locks mouse cursor within the borders of the game window.
#
#  Fixes the invisible runaway mouse glitch plaguing people with multiple monitors who keep a window
#  open on the neighboring monitor and it keeps scrolling while playing the game.
#
LockCursor = true

## Minimize the game window if it loses focus.
#
#  Useful in borderless fullscreen mode if alt-tabbing just pushes the game window to the background
#  instead of minimizing it.
#
#  WARNING: Avoid using this with ENB or ReShade, things might break when alt-tabbing.
#
ForceMinimize = false

## Disables the window ghosting feature.
#
#  Useful in windowed/borderless fullscreen mode.
#
#  Read more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-disableprocesswindowsghosting

[Papyrus]

## Set the maximum time scripts are allowed to run per cycle based on current framerate.
#
#  Normally scripts are given a fixed max. amount of execution time per cycle controlled by
#  fUpdateBudgetMS - 1.2 ms by default, roughly 7% of each cycle at 60 FPS, 17% at 144, 29% at
#  240, .. The higher your framerate, the harder it gets to sustain it under heavy script load.
#
#  This attempts to even things out by adjusting the limit based on time it took to complete
#  the previous cycle. Less budget is alloted at higher framerates.
#
#  Formula:
#
#    fUpdateBudgetMS = lastCycleTime * (UpdateBudgetBase / 16.66667)
#
#  Note: fUpdateBudgetMS never goes above UpdateBudgetBase (see below).
#
DynamicUpdateBudget = false

## Amount of time scripts are alloted at or below 60 FPS (in milliseconds).
#
#  Recommended to leave at default. If you use a different fUpdateBudgetMS value in Skyrim.ini,
#  set the same here.
#
#  Bethesda default: 1.2
#
UpdateBudgetBase = 1.2

## Budget is not calculated beyond this limit.
#
#  Set this at or above your maximum framerate.
#
#  At 144 minimum budget is 0.5 ms, 0.3 ms at 240.
#
#  Valid range: 60 - 300

#  The bug makes "Dialogue Anger" expression unavailable via this function.
#
SetExpressionOverridePatch = true

## Add fUpdateBudgetMS to OSD.
#
OSDStatsEnabled = false

## Add VM overstressed indicator to OSD.
#
#  If enabled, OSD will indicate when the scripting engine is under excessive load.
#  Keep in mind that it's normal for the VM to become overstressed for short periods,
#  for instance after fast travelling a bunch of events might fire at once.
#  However if the indicator is constantly showing, you've got a problem. Usually poorly
#  made and heavily scripted mods are to blame. Examine the stack to see what's going on.
#
#  In the best case scanario you'll rarely (if ever) see this indicator.
#
OSDWarnVMOverstressed = true


[Miscellaneous]

## Disables scanning missing plugin .ini files. May significantly improve startup times with many plugins.
#
#  By default the engine looks for every single .ini option for each installed plugin, without checking
#  if the .ini file actually exists. Massive waste of time and resources, especially when the user has a
#  heavily modded game.
#
#  Note: This is unrelated to the PrivateProfileRedirector plugin and is fully compatible with it. If you
#        use it alongside that plugin the difference won't be felt, but it still prevents the CPU from doing
#        a bunch of useless work at startup.
