Nvidia GPU not detected with d3d9.dll in Data folder

[Wenwrendo]

Hello! Pardon if this has been answered before, but I have just followed Neovalen's (WIP) guide SR:LE, which includes installing Unreal Cinema ENB and all the files it needs through ENB Manager and Changer.

 

When I launch the game now from MO, the ENB overlay appears, but it only detects my integrated graphics card and not my Nvidia GTX 770M, and everything runs really slowly. When I launch from Steam, the Launcher re-detects my graphics settings, again can't find my Nvidia GPU, and again will run and shows the overlay but everything is slow.

 

The problem doesn't occur at all if I remove the d3d9.dll file from my Data folder, but then the ENB doesn't work, either.

 

Any suggestions? I haven't been able to find an answer on other forums and don't think this is a problem with Neovalen's instructions.

Who ever designed how those integrated chips work should buy "I messed up today" beers to all his co workers!

Agreed! Thanks very much! I'll give this a go right now.

Yay! This works, even though it still doesn't show the right GPU on the in-game overlay and it seems to need to be started once to figure everything out. In case anybody else has the problem, I got rid of an error that popped up in-game and made the HiAlgo mod's dll play nice with ENB Manager and Changer by doing the following instead of following the instructions on the mod's readme:

 

1) Deactivate the ENB through ENB Manager and Changer

2) Rename the "d3d9.dll" in /ENB Versions/ to "d3d9orig.dll"

3) Extract the HiAlgo mod and copy its d3d9.dll to the same folder (so, e.g., now my ENB Manager and Changer/ENB Versions/0.245 folder has three files in it: "d3d9.dll", "d3d9orig.dll", and "enbhost.exe".)

4) Open NVidia control panel, and explicitly add "TESV.exe" to the list of "high-GPU-requirement" programs.

5) You can now activate and deactivate the ENB through ENB Manager without having to permanently leave renamed files in the Data folder.
