Black skies when enable effects

[ShadowedAbyss]

Hi,

 

I recently got Skyrim for PC and decided to try and install S.T.E.P. as the first mod, maybe a little complicated. I tired following the instructions in order, installing all the mods (following the instructions if provided), everything seemed to have gone fine, game loads and everything, however, I did not notice a huge increase in the graphics. I then noticed on the opening screen shift + enter opens up a menu where you can enable effects. I enabled the effects and noticed a huge improvement, water was so clear, environment and lighting improved hugely but with all of this new beauty, the sky is completely black. I think it must to be do with a texture or mesh not loaded properly, however, being new to this, I have no idea where to start or how to identify where this is, especially as there are so many mods.

I am using mod organiser for the mod manager.

Any help or suggestions of where to start would be hugely appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you did not set up EnBoost properly. STEP only uses EnBoost and not the full ENB. There will be conflicts with Anisotropic filtering I believe.

Hi GSD,

 

Thank you very much for your response. How would I go about repairing this problem?

 

Thanks

In enblocal.ini set:

[GLOBAL]
UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true
UseDefferedRendering=false

[PERFORMANCE]
SpeedHack=true

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false

The rest of the memory parameters should be set according to the ENBoost mod page on the wiki: https://wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost

Black sky... That sounds like you forgot the float point renderer in the skyrim INIs
