Enbseries.ini and enblocal.ini does not apply ingame

[WDW]

Hello,

 

My ENB itself is working just fine, but for some odd reason the chances I make into enbseries.ini and enblocal.ini does not apply. I am 100% positive that they are correct, they just wont work. Some of the settings are easy to check like FPS limiter:

 

[LIMITER]

WaitBusyRenderer=false

EnableFPSLimit=true

FPSLimit=55.0

 

or 

 

[TIMEOFDAY]

Enable=true

DawnDuration=1.5

SunriseTime=7.00

DayTime=11.0

SunsetTime=21.0

DuskDuration=1.5

NightTime=23.00

 

 

I cant figure out what is wrong with it, sence ENB it self work just fine. I am using Flawless widescreen (Skyrim does not support my monitor resolution native) Mod Organizer and ENB Manager. Flawless widescreen shoud not effect in anyway, ENB Manager shoud be stand alone and all the files are visible in Skyrim folder as well, and settings are correct there aswell. 

 

Any idea where I could try to find a problem? Or solution.

 

Edit: Ofc what I ment is that even with FPS limiter is set to 55 I get 45-90fps debending where I am. And timeofday settings ingame are vanilla, not ones Im posting there.

Okay...

 

1. First, you have a lot of stuff in your root folder. I'm going to assume that all that unknown stuff is from the ENB Manager. Do you switch between ENB Presets? If not, I'd drop the Manager and just do it manually.
2. Second, your ReservedMemorySizeMb is far too high! Half of that at around 512 should be good. What are your system specs so I can figure the right values? (VRAM and RAM)
3. EnableVSync should not be under [WINDOW]. It should only be under [ENGINE].
4. EnableSubPixelAA can be turned off if you're using SMAA. I only use EdgeAA and SMAA on a medium preset and never see any jaggies anywhere.

I still need a pic of your Nvidia Inspector settings (asusming that you use that) and your SkyrimPrefs.ini file in spoiler tags.

 

Also, is there an enblocal.ini or enbseries.ini file in your enbseries folder?

[WDW]

I agree with you, I will install it whitout enb manager.

Now Im just not sure witch files I shoud remove from skyrim folder. 

I assume, sence I use MO I localte Vividian ENB folder, And copy paste Vividian ENB Install files to root of skyrim. Correct?

 

 

Im sorry it did take long to ansfer, I do 24hour shifts so I was at work.

EDIT: And I dont use Nvidia Inspector.

VRAM 4096 + 16gb RAM

Assuming you have a legal copy of the game, let Steam be your ally here.

 

Delete everything but the Data, DirectX10, DoNotFX, Skyrim, and VCRedist folders. If you've installed MO to the root Skyrim directory, be sure you don't delete that folder as well. Then open up Steam and go to your Library. Right click on Skyrim and choose Properties. Click on the Local Files tab and then click the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button. This will reinstall all the necessary files that you just deleted. Once that is done, launch the game from Steam to open up the Launcher. It will do it's initialization and then you can simply close it. That will reinstall the needed registry and ini files so third party apps (like TESVedit) will launch. You should now have a clean root directory.

 

Now install the ENB as you described above. Just copy and paste the files into the root directory.

 

With that VRAM and system RAM your enblocal [MEMORY] settings should be like:

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false
ReservedMemorySizeMb=512
VideoMemorySizeMb=10240
EnableCompression=true
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

With just STEP installed and 4GB of VRAM, ENBoost will only use ~1.5gb of system RAM. That is approximately how much my system uses with my 4GB card. With the settings above, you've told it that can use up to ~10GB of system RAM. It will never do this, but those are very stable settings on my system since we have about the same setup. Also be sure to remove EnableVsync from the [WINDOW] section because it's not suppose to be there and you should only have one instance of that parameter in your file.

 

Do these things and let us know if you're issues have been fixed.

[WDW]

For reason X game says it cant run enbhost.exe and I cant even find any enbhost.exe from files but then again ENB is working from the root now. removed all the old enb files, now vsync works and fps limiter works. For some reason with 45-55 fps:s it doesnt seems smooth. Maybe its in my eyes =)

 

 

What can NVIDIA Inspector bring in the game?

 

And thank you for your help

[TechAngel85]

Oh, you'll still need to download the binary from ENB Dev and install the d3d9.dll and the enbhost.exe files if you didn't do that. Nothing else is needed from the default binary. The rest is provided by Vividian.

 

For want reasons are you running the limiter? With Vsync enabled there's not much use for it.

 

Inspector doesn't really bring much. I was only asking to see your settings to make sure you didn't have some set that would cause the limiter and/or vsync to stop working.

Everything seems to be working guite fine now. Here are still my INI files taken from MO.

You have a ton of unneeded and unused permeters in your INIs. The only change besides taking a lot of those parameters out would be to set iPresentInterval=0 to 1.

 

Glad everything is working now!

[WDW]

Yeah, I did actually redo my INI's last night
