SKYRIMLE Skyrim.exe - The Way It Should Have Been by Kahenraz

[z929669]

Well, it is working again now, and I still need to use Alt+Tab to get to windowed mode when running via MO (not direct launch though), but I do like the functionality when it is working.

[Kahenraz]

The only file that this tool modifies is "..Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini" to force windowed mode with "bFull Screen=0" and "iSize W/iSize H" if you specify a value other than 0 for ScreenWidth/ScreenHeight in Skyrim.ini.

 

I do not modify any other files on disk and do not write to the registry. You can confirm this by setting TESV.exe and any other file you think is being modified to read-only.

 

z929669, I can see that you're having some trouble but I'm going to need clear instructions on how to reproduce an error to even attempt to fix this.

 

Also of note, if any program in the chain is set to forcibly run in administrative mode, then you should set them ALL to run in administrative mode. For example, Skyrim.exe will fail to work properly if skse_loader.exe or TESV.exe is set to run as an administrator; either disable this setting or enable it for Skyrim.exe.

thanks for dropping by ...

 

Sadly, I cannot reproduce my issues either :/

I do sometimes have issues running from MO, but again, not reproduceable. at this point, I have to assume user error. It does clarify some things for me that the app modifies the skyrimprefs.ini Full Screen value. that explains why it was opening in windowed mode when I bypassed the app (that was very perplexing for me until I found the source and just learned that skyrimprefs.ini setting is altered by the app).

 

I still like it for STEP, but would like other new users to run via MO before adopting ... just to be sure that my issue is an island :P

can confirm that this works like a charm for me when runnimg trough latest version of MO

FYI

 

I noticed during my testing that the ENB shaders menu is not navigable in game ... that is, I think that this mod's mouse and focus capture preclude the use of the in-game ENB mouse cursor as a means to edit the shaders. For ENB testers and creators, this is a problem that could use a solution.

 

The in-game ENB shaders can be accessed normally by pressing Shift + Enter while in Skyrim.

 

Can anyone else confirm?

Try setting FixCursorVisibility in enblocal.ini to "false".

Try setting FixCursorVisibility in enblocal.ini to "false".

I'll do that, and will report back

thanks!

[Synixtrix]

True but if you lose your cursor upon an Alt+Tab, a simple CTRL + ALT + Delete fixes that, and a simple double Alt+Tab back to Skyrim is the story of my life!

If only we got a gold coin every time we perform this little ritual.

Try setting FixCursorVisibility in enblocal.ini to "false".

just tested this and no luck launching through mod organizer or starting normally. using wrapper version of ENB.

The setting has no impact

Same. ENB in-game settings are not functional with this mod in its current state.

[Kahenraz]

This sounds like a bug with enb. When the mouse is captured then it is owned by the Skyrim game engine and it is out of my hands. I don't know how enb handles the cursor, but you should file a bug report worth them if it isn't hooking mouse clicks properly.

 

When the mouse is captured by the game, my tool is hands-off and let's it do it's thing.

[z929669]

Mouse capture in ENB is definitely broken. it is a bad hack that Boris won't likely fix ... if you load up an ENB (without your mod) and then press Shift + Enter, you will see the behavior. It is infuriating. Input for both the game and the ENB are simultaneous, and both have focus :/

 

With your mod, no focus is given to the ENB ... although, I am using my Xbox controller, so that could be the problem. Will try without and let you know.

[DoubleYou]

Are we still considering this? I, for one, am against having more loaders for my game. I already have Mod Organizer starting SKSE starting Skyrim using ENBoost. Adding another one adds unneeded complexity.

[EssArrBee]

This one works really well for me though. I use it to start skyrim and it fixes some issues with some alt tab stuff, so smooth going from one to the other.

[TechAngel85]

Some of the features sounds nice, but it is really worth it? I don't use any of them but the Alt+Tab and that isn't really an issue for me either. I honestly don't think this is worth it. (At least not for me)
