College of Winterhold, problem with the beams from the magic fountains

[Cookie_Dynamics]

Hi there, 

 

I use (and love) the Poupori - First Seed - ENB preset , but upon reaching Winterhold I noticed something...  

 

The magic beams that are launched up towards the sky from several fountains around the College aren't visible unless there's a wall in the back. 

 

Here are a few screenshots displaying the problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure if this is going to be relevant, but here are the specifications of my computer:

 

 

 

GPU:   GeForce GTX 680

CPU:  Intel Core i7-3770K CPU 3.5 GHz

Memory: 8.00 GB RAM

 

 

 

Can anyone help me?   Any suggestions on what I should change to fix this?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi there, 

 

Just an update with the solution.  

 

At the enbseries.ini , under the Weather category there's the option entitled "EnableMultipleWeathers". 

 

If this is activated, I get the odd views. 

If this is deactivated, the ENB looks great. 

 

Here are 3 pictures at the same place. 1) ENB ON  & Multiple Weathers ON ... 2) ENB ON & Multiple Weathers OFF  ... 3) ENB OFF

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder what I'm missing by turning "Multiple Weathers" off....    Anybody knows? Thanks in advance.

 

"EnableMultipleWeathers" gives permission for the ENB to insert new weather types into your game.

I take it if you disable the ENB (Shift+F12) while in-game the pillars of light return to normal?

[Cookie_Dynamics]

Yes. And the sky appears with more detail. 

 

Here are 2 screenshots on the same place, with and without the ENB. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weirdly enough I only started to notice this when I reached Winterhold...

If that is the case, the issue is going to be specific to the ENB you're using. First make sure all driver and game AA is turned off. If it is and it's not fixed, then I would point the author to this thread or repost this on his/her thread on the Nexus page. Most likely it's an issue with the ENB settings (possibly Mist or fog settings).

It's an odd problem, I mean... everywhere else (literally... everywhere else) it looks astonishingly beautiful. But then... specifically in Winterhold I have this issue.  Very very odd...

 

About AA deactivation, I did it and also the .ini tweaks the installation instructions mentioned. 

 

"bTreesReceiveShadows to 1, bDrawLandShadows to 1, bShadowsOnGrass to 1, and bFloatPointRenderTarget to 1" 

 

 

I have asked the mod author, when I get an answer I'll gladly edit the Opening Post of this thread.

 

 

Thanks for the assistance, I appreciated it. 

 

In the mean time I'll play a little with the mist/fog settings to see what happens.

If it's tied to ENB weather, it's most definitely the ENB preset at fault.

But what does this "Enable Multiple Weathers" thing do? Is it crucial?

I'm not positive. I tried to research it, but came up with nothing from Boris. Maybe Aiyen will pop in here to shine some light on it.

The mod author answered. 

 

"Enable Multiple Weathers" allows the ENB to insert custom weathers into your game.  So by disabling it you're deciding to stick with the vanilla weathers only. (or whatever other mods you have) 

[TechAngel85]

Cool, that was my assumption of what it did.
