Warning: All instructions are important!!!! Please follow carefully!!!!

If you know how to install ReShade with ENB for Fallout, just do your thing.

If you don't know how to do that, or run into issues like chasing shadows or ctd, I wrote these instructions to help.

If these instructions don't help, ask online for help! I don't own ReShade or Enb so I can't just copy my files and upload unfortunately

*********************************

Installation Instructions

So combining Enb with ReShade is a little tedious for Fallout 3/New Vegas. Hopefully these instructions help.

You NEED to install d3d9 version of ReShade and *possibly* disable INTZ in ReShade GUI for this preset to work on Fallout! Not sure about the INTZ part, you needed to do that in Skyrim

****************

Step 1:

Install latest version of ReShade: https://reshade.me/
version 4.4.2 or greater (4.8.2 works for me if the latest doesn't work)

Make sure to install the d3d9/Direct 3D 9 version, do NOT install the Direct 3d 10/11/12 version, or ReShade will NOT work!!!!

Instructions for installing reshade (make sure to choose Direct 3d 9 version not Direct 3d 10, 11, or 12!) ALSO (instead of installing for GTA or whatever the video has, install for Fallout, when the installer asks you to, navigate to your Fallout folder and choose Fallout3.exe while installing ReShade):

These instructions are for the GTA I believe, just make sure to install for Fallout instead. Install Direct 3d 9 version, not 10/11/ or 12!

When asked which effects you want to download for reshade, makes sure your check ALL BOXES, ESPECIALLY the one that says "Legacy standard effects", that one effects package has most of the effects for this ReShade Preset

*I'm not sure if this small step here is necessaary for Fallout, you have to do it for Skyrim*: When ReShade is finished installing, launch the game, start ReShade by pressing the Home key or Shift F2 or whatever the new start key is. Then while ReShade GUI/Menu is open, navigate to DX9 or d3d9 tab at the top of ReShade gui menu, and make sure the line that says something like "disable replacement with INTZ format" is CHECKED and TURNED ON. INTZ needs to be disabled or ReShade might create shadows that chase the screen when you look at different things and move in the game.

****************

Step 2:

After ReShade is finished, navigate to Fallout folder and rename d3d9.dll to ReShade_d3d9.dll. Make sure file extensions is on in your Windows or you might accidentally rename it ReShade_d3d9.dll.dll
Instructions for show file extensions for Windows 10 (just look up instructions online if you use earlier Windows than Windows 10): https://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-file-extensions-in-windows

****************

Step 3:

Select all files inside Wasteland Desolations ENB Package folder, and copy them and paste them inside your Fallout folder where Fallout3.exe is located


****************

Step 4:

Open enblocal.ini and set VideoMemorySizeMb= to whatever your system's VRAM and RAM is,

ALSO

you can downlaod Boris' VRAM test tool: http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm
and just set VideoMemorySizeMb= to that number it gives you

IMPORTANT!: also open your enblocal.ini file in Fallout main directory and makes sure these settings are there at the top:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=false
ProxyLibrary=ReShade_d3d9.dll

if you don't do this step, ReShade won't turn on in game
****************

Step 5

Download ENB version v0451 for Fallout:
http://enbdev.com/mod_falloutnv_v0451.htm
Extract files go to Wrapper version, copy the files d3d9.dll, and enbhost.exe, and put them in your Fallout folder where Fallout3.exe is located again.

****************

Step 6 (final step):
Launch Fallout, once in-game, open ReShade GUI by pressing the Home key on your keyboard (if it's still ReShade's default settings check new ReShade installation tutorials on youtube to set the button that does it if not, they change it from time to time) again and choose Wasteland Desolations preset
****************

Finished, enjoy!
