Vond Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Someone else reported that earlier, it seems like a good topic for the troubleshooting section. Feel free to add it. Hm, where else was that reported? o_O Been searching pretty much everywhere on the net all day and tried every single seting that I possibly could before changing it randomly because I was gonna play Morrowind for a few minutes (and that requires it off with the mods I use). Anyway updated the discussion page under Troubleshooting, simply added to the text about disabling Steam Overlay that this can also fix these issues. :) found one reference in these forums I'm pretty sure there was another more specific reference elsewhere though. Ah yeah there was a line there saying SMAA might be incompatible with Steam Overlay (which it isn't though, there is a fix for it in the ini for SMAA with 1.1 and 1.2), didn't bother checking that thread though as SMAA wasn't the issue. :) Anyway, considering this had issues in the past I guess I should've considered that earlier for ENB too.. Ah well, one day lost, not the end of the world!
stoppingby4now Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I did some quick testing with the different shadow quality settings just to make sure the overlay wasn't the problem in the comparisons I did. They still look pretty much the same, and low still causes a lot of pixelation. One problem I just came across is on water as can be seen below. It's causing the water to become transparent so I can see the riverbed and any vegetation. What's interesting is that it mainly shows up where there is mist/spray from the water. When the mist dissipates, you can see the water normally. Get a large spray, and roughly 75% of that portion of the river is landscape texture. It's also occurring on the edges of the river regardless of mist/spray.
Vond Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 You can change quality of the improved shadows too via enbseries.ini The default setting (1) is low qual, 0 is high qual, -1 is extreme qual
stoppingby4now Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for shadow quality settings, I'll try those out and see what the differences are at all levels.
stoppingby4now Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Did some testing with changing quality of the shadows, and I'm not seeing any difference. Tested with 1, 0, and -1 in enbseries.ini, and from low to ultra in Skyrim. Used screenshots and even video capture to compare.
stoppingby4now Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Started with a default enbseries.ini file and cleared up my water issue. I've also tweaked the shadow settings in Skyrim and now have some amazing shadows with ENB. Check the update here .
thalastwon Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Is there any reason that installing ENB would cause skyrim to constantly crash? It was (mostly) perfectly stable before adding ENB last night. I'm running STep 2.1.1b using Mod Manager and RCRN as my lighting modifier. Is Dynavision or Imaginator incompatible with ENB? The enbseries.ini I'm using is the one from stoppingby4now.
Vond Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Dynavision and Imaginator is compatible. Dynavision only so if you disable ENB's DoF obviously.
frihyland Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Do you have an ATI card? You need to set up dummy card to make it work if you do. Check the documentation.

frihyland Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 should be no problems then just drop the dll and the ini in your skyrim directory and start it up, does skyrim start up fine if you delete the d3dxx.dll?

Temporarily disable RCRN and see if it still causes CTD's. Did you also make sure to set the enbseries.ini to read only? If you don't, ENB will repopulate it with missing data and it may cause problems.
thalastwon Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Disabling RCRN still causes CTD's. Not as many, but 4 times out of 10 it happens right at the main menu emblem, and 3 times it happened right after loading. I do have enbseries.ini set to read only.
Vond Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Post your loadorder in spoilers, might be something completely different causing it. Also post your enbseries.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini
Neovalen Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 Update from Boris:14 may 2012 Updated 0.111 KAGE for TES Skyrim. I'm such a fool! Did a mistake in the code of detection vendor and after fixing it, ATI works. Purchased videocard for nothing, nice. At least i got experience that ATI is bad, too much negative factors accumulated. My Comments: It looks like ENB is working properly for my ATI card now, I just need to figure out how to make RCRN/ENB work together without making the image too dark. Optimally I want his new performance SSAO, New Shadows, and Bokeh DOF.
