My Setup

[Besidilo]

 

MTichenor says that you should be allow to run SkyRealism with 146 ENB just fine, so it's worth a try. According to him, once you put the latest ENB DLL in, the config should get updated with relevant INI lines if needed, so no changes necessary. Whether it will look as good is another matter, but it's up to you to test it (or ask for feedback from other users on the mod's page).

 

 

I have long verified that this is true. The trick is knowing how to spot changes to INI structure and what they mean. Sometimes, very strange things can happen, but you just need to know what of the current INI settings are causing the issue and reset those values. It is just a matter of a lot of trial and error.

So you're saying that adding the updated DLL also adds any missing parameters to the enbseries.ini file? That's how I'm reading this and this doesn't seem likely as it would need permission from Windows to modify a file that is in it's installation directory. From my 8 hours of testing a few weeks ago, I can confirm that popping in a newer DLL doesn't add new parameters to the enbseries.ini file on my system. The new parameters are present in the DLL file, but would not be in the enbseries.ini file unless they are added manually. In many cases, Boris's updates only include tweaked parameter settings and not new parameters. The result of adding in the v0.139 DLL into the older SkyRealism version that used v0.119 was a fish bowl effect with the lens in interiors because the new parameters for interiors were not present in the enbseries.ini file.

That's right, at least according to MTichenor. Haven't tested it myself, mind you.

Not necessarily. If you replace the DLL with something that uses a new parameter not located within the INI file, then once launched, the default configs for the missing parameters will be populated within the existing 'outdated' INI. I have UAC disabled, so that could be one reason that you may not have seen this.

With no UAC I could see this might happen, but usually Windows protects these files even without UAC...not to mention if you have a good antivirus, it should pick up on this with an alert. Here's that fish bowl effect:

Thanks.  For some reason multi-select isn't working for me...

You mean muti-quote select? I've noticed it's not highlighting but it's still working as the red notice still shows up at the bottom of the page.

This is the Camara settings. I don't know much about those, but try disabling as a first test.

[TechAngel85]

Oh, I'm not having those issues. That was the result of using the old SkyRealism with the v0.139 DLL of ENBSeries. It was just an example that the parameters weren't being added to the enbseries.ini and that was the result.

Oh, I see. I will try it out as well ... but those could still be camera settings that no longer apply

I was able to correct the issue when I manually updated the enbseries.ini file with all the new parameters. It had something to do with the new separate Day/Night parameters that was introduced for exteriors and interiors. Exteriors rendered correctly; however, interiors were messed up without the new parameters added to the enbseries.ini file.

Skyrealism ENB 2.3 vanilla (ssao, DOF, Sunrays and reflections enabled) using 1.39 d3d9.dll and smaa_d3d9.dll.

COT 2.1 with dawnguard Patch, RLO, Full STEP excluding Immersive skyrim thunder and including the patch for lightning during thunder storms. Let's see what my performance says X-P

[torminater]

Well, I'm not really impressed. Of course it halves my framerate when I'm using ENB with this setup, but my FPS is still put at 30 FPS (almost as if it was capped :D). No problems whatsoever, still really fluent.

But the quality is... not really what I expected. I'm going to switch off SSAO, to try SGSSAA again.

[torminater]

Oh GOD I'm so stupid -.-'' There actually was a FPS-limiter active... uuuugh...

I think I'll be keeping the FPS limiter active though. Unless I'm benchmarking I don't even notice it.

I'll update my settings I'll be using for gaming asap. :)
