Skyrim video settings

#1
First port attempt. New Mac user. Running OS X 10.12 (Sierra). on a 5K 27" with AMD Radeon R9 M295X. When I launch the game I get a solid white screen. Tried a couple different Aspect Ratio and Resolutions but guess I haven''t hit on the right one. Any suggestions?

Thanks

1. Did you followed the instructions in the game description related with .NET?

2. When exactly you received the white screen, after the launcher or after pressing the Play button while already in fullscreen?

3. Could you show us a print of your Options window of the Skyrim launcher?

#3
The .Net installed without errors or warnings that I recall - took awhile

After pressing play from the Porting Kit, Steam launches.
Steam connects to my Steam account
In Steam, I click Play
Skyrim launcher? displays, loads mods from Steam
In Advanced, I see the following:
Texture Quality: High
Radial Blur Quality: Low
Shadow Detail: Medium
Decal Quantity: Medium
FXAA is checked
Water - reflect Land is checked

Options not appearing in the right is a .NET problem. Remove the port, install it again, and close the .NET installer with the method explained in the instructions. After that, open the game with that same resolution.

By instructions are you referring to: Installation: In some cases, after downloading Skyrim, the .NET installation will freeze. In that case, open the Task Manager (available in the wrapper menu and in the PortingKit ‘More’ button) and close the process called “setup.exe”. That will unfroze the launcher and open the game.

Removed via Porting Kit More/Remove option
Reinstalled
Shut down the .Net install - it started at Step 3 of 3
Changed settings - 1920x1080 in 16:9 aspect
save
White screen. Confused why as I had the main menu come up in this resolution previously.
I''ve obviously done something wrong.

Tried again with same resolution/aspect but with antialiasing and Anisoptic filtering off
Removed add-ons (subscriptions) from Data Files
Still white screen

Yup, that one. You can also find it in PK when you open the game description Wink

Really strange. Well, let''s check the Debug logs then. Could you please perform a Debug in the port? You can find instructions of how to use the Debug in the Forum home page.

Attached.
Couple of other notes
I already have a Windows version in Steam - this install has me download and install
I already have a vine''d version of the basic game - no mods - on my Mac (stopped working with Sierra)

#9
Could you please check something for me? Right click the game in PK, press "Wineskin Tools", then "Registry Editor" and look for that folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D

Which is the value of the VideoMemorySize entry?
