ENB 0.110 Released

[Vond]

It looks like ENB is working properly for my ATI card now, I just need

to figure out how to make RCRN/ENB work together without making the

image too dark.

Optimally I want his new performance SSAO, New Shadows, and Bokeh DOF.

 

 

 

Here's a WIP-setup of ENB .111 for use with RCRN made by my brother and me. It uses the Enhanced Shaders ENB setting as a base but in the .ini almost nothing remains of his settings, and the DoF has been very much remade aswell as we both hate when DoF is too strong as it is with most ENB setups. Also some changes to bloom in the enbeffect.fx have been made.

 

It was made for RCRN 2.1 but seems to work fine with RCRN 3 with the little testing done so far. It tried to stick as close as possible to the RCRN lighting. SSAO settings have not been tinkered with since .110 release so needs some work but that is easy to do (under [sSAO_SSIL] in the ini) for what suits you best.

 

Also included are some textures for sunglare/moon that my brother made specifically for this setup. Obviously optional if you don't want them. :P

Anyway as I said it's a work in progress but in my personal opinion it's the best ENB setup for use with RCRN if you actually want the effects such as SSAO and DoF etc.

 

No binary included as Boris doesn't want that!

Definetly going to give it a shot, I just finished trying a "only shadows" ini file from the other thread in this forum and it looks nice. (obviously no SSAO / DoF but good shadows)

 

Your setting looks nice. I had to turn down the SSAO a bit for some performance (just changed UseComplexIndirectLighting=false).

The DOF is a little light for me, but I agree with you that sometimes it can be overwhelming for some settings.

[stoppingby4now]

Thanks for that Vond, I'm going to try your DoF (only thing I want aside from the shadows). The one I've been using so far is a bit stronger than I want, and I haven't even looked at how to change it yet.

[Neovalen]

I really wish I had a clue where all the various effects come from (i.e. what file contains the bokeh dof, what file does SSAO, etc.) so I could really configure these things to my liking.

Does anyone have a guide or something they could link to?

[Vond]

Download Skyrim Enhanced Shaders, it has a pdf document explaining the enbseries.ini in detail. Changing specifics of the DoF settings is done via the enbeffectprepass.fx however and is not explained there as it's far more complex. The pdf does not have info about the new additions to the .ini with .110 and .111 however, but those are explained in the ENB readme anyway

[thalastwon]

Post your loadorder in spoilers, might be something completely different causing it. Also post your enbseries.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini

I always run my order through boss and found that I had both of SkyRe's esps loaded at the same time. I removed it and started up a new game. (I had intended to start a new game anyways.) 4 time out of 10 it crashes while loading up to the main menu. If I get it loaded, it tends to crash within a few minutes now.

EDIT: Figured I'd put in the reply so everyone can know what I'm replying to.

[Vond]

Hm, besides the 2 SkyRe-files issue you fixed, what I can as possible causes:

 

 

- No bashed patch?

- And the realms of daedra, sadly causes CtD's for a lot of people

- Moonpath, same as above

- Ars Metallica not sure it's compatible with SkyRe, might very well be though

- SkyRe 0.99.8+ is very unstable atm, he has mentioned that people should revert to 0.99.7 for stability until he gets it stable. Should be soon.

- Cloaks, you're supposed to use only one file but you have all 3 loaded

- Cowardly horses. Again you have both options for each active (Cowardly Frost + Cowardly Essential Frost etc, just pick one)

I'm currently using MO which doesn't have the bashed patch, if I remember correctly.

In terms of cloaks and cowardly horses, the esps are there, but not checked. Should I just remove them?

I'll follow your advice for everything else and remove realms, moonpath, ars metallica and downgrade Skyre.

 

I'll test and see if that works.

[Vond]

Yeah never keep unused esps around like that. :) Bashed Patch is only available with Wrye Bash yeah, and wouldn't really help stability in this case most likely anyway, just make certain mods work better together

[thalastwon]

So far I'm seeing a lot more stability. I haven't had another crash yet. Thanks a ton. I'll keep you updated if its acts up.

 

One thing that automatically causes CTD is quitting to the main menu. That just competely refuses to fix.

Yep that's the price to pay for using the unofficial skyrim patch. Well worth the cost. :)

[Spiffyman]

Anyone else get the issue where starting or continuing a game freezes and only fixes if you minimize and re-maximize? it's definitely caused by enb for me.

I personally haven't. I haven't completed a STEP install yet though as I keep getting side tracked to test things. :facepalm:

[Spiffyman]

you haven't? You really should. Without all the step stuff installed, I only got ~25 fps. After I installed everything, I jumped up to 45. I don't know why, but Step helped my fps. So you really should install it all :D

 

I'll ask on the bethesda forums to see if anyone there has the issue...

[stoppingby4now]

I will eventually, it's just easier to deal with a handful of mods while testing certain combinations and settings. Hopefully by this weekend I can finally start playing a fresh game. :)
