    WHAT ARE ENBSERIES AND ENHANCED SHADERS?



    ENBseries is a free graphics mod/tool being developed by Boris Vorontsov at www.enbdev.com. ENBseries allows for sophisticated, next generation visual effects to be added to current and older DirectX9 computer games. Perhaps best known for his work with TES V Skyrim, Boris has also developed an advanced version of his mod for the Fallout 3 / Fallout New Vegas game engines. By its nature, ENBseries can be very demanding on your machine, but it is also infinitely customizable to suit your tastes and needs -- those who enjoy tinkering will find a world of wonders!

    Enhanced Shaders is a custom ENBseries preset for Fallout New Vegas. While ENBseries enables many effects and configuration options for the game, it does not necessarily make for an improved or more realistic game image straight out of the box. For example, more bloom or more color contrast does not equal more realistic. Enhanced Shaders aims to be the most BALANCED and PLAYABLE ENBseries configuration available. It strives for a realistic aesthetic that is not overdone, and that works well across all in-game scenarios, i.e. days, nights, dungeons, interiors. Enhanced Shaders also offers optional bonus effects, including sharpening, faux cel-shading, 8-bit DOS effect, FXAA Injector suite and more.

    For those who may not know me, I've been doing this for a while, from the original FNV ENHANCED SHADERS in 2010 and SKYRIM ENHANCED SHADERS in 2011. Please upload screenshots to the gallery, and feel free to leave a question or comment!

    I'm encountering a weird phenomenon. When I look a certain direction, the global illumination seems to darken significantly in the open world space. It's quite literally almost night and day. I've looked through forums and can only find information about interior cells. Does anyone know how to fix this? I recently put together a mod list that suits me very well and I'm dreading picking it apart. I have no weather or lighting mods on, so I can't think of what would possibly be causing this. I was thinking it could be something to do with my LOD, but it happens regardless of my LODgen. Could it be textures?

      I think I have a similar issue? Along the edges of the screen the ENB has no effect. Which is very noticeable if you're moving as shadows/ambient occlusion just... vanish. And this is both the left, top and right sides of the screen.

      I am also having this problem. Tried uninstalling improved shaders as Diggie86 suggested and no fix. Same problem on RudyENB

      Hope the mod author can provide an answer

      This issue is caused not by this mod but rather by the "improved lighting shaders" like Diggie86 said.

      I removed improved lighting shaders. Uninstalled it completely. I even checked the file locations Fallout New Vegas\Data\Shaders\ILS & Fallout New Vegas\Data\NVSE\plugins to make sure it was gone.

      The problem persists. I'm still trying to fix it. Are there any other mods that are known to or could cause this issue? Thanks

      Edit: Disabling all of my other lighting-related mods didn't fix the issue. It seems to be on the ENB end of things. Ig for now I will be doing an enb-less playthrough

      Edit 2: I don't get the problem when using the neutral edition of this enb, if that's significant in any way.

      OK. I see. Looks like I haven't read your comment fully. One thing is certain. This is dx9 issue.

    Been having this weird issue with ENBs where the entire sky is just black even though its 10 in the morning. I can still see the clouds, which is odd..

    No idea why, but even after doing the guide step by step, being as careful as I could, disabling anti-aliasing and such I still just get a black screen after the main menu loads in

    Hey, I'm having a weird issue where when launching the game with ENB installed, it just (assumedly) crashes, it starts off as a black screen and then just closes the game. Any idea of how to fix it?

    Testing out this ENB with Nevada Skies.
    I find that the image brightness jumps by a lot if I look in certain directions and looks normal if I look elsewhere. 
    Any thought what might be causing this?

      This ENB is actually nostalgic to me from when I used it like 7 years ago for my first time playing FNV, thanks for it
      Think you'll ever remake a version of it for Desert Natural Weathers?

      I haven't even played this game in about a decade or so, but I might give it another go, in which case I may consider revisiting some of my old mods.

    Strongly advise against this ENB, it somehow looks blurry and jaggy at the same time. compared it to other ENBs and whatever settings this one has makes the lack of AA 10x more noticable than other ENBs, its completely distracting. No idea how this is so popular, it looks really bad

      You could always disable DOF. It won't look blurry anymore.

    5 hours of my time wasted trying to figure out why my screen is all black when I open the game. I did literally everything correctly, took every precaution and it still doesnt work. only fixes itself when i remove the d3d9 dll but then the mod doesnt work. i give up

    anti aliasing on faces and some signs are pretty blurry on default. Any way to turn this up in the ini? If so what

    Hi, loving the ENB so far, its my first time using one.

    Thing is, I find the whole thing makes the game a bit too blurry.

    How can I lower or even remove this?

    Thank you.

      It does! Thank you, tho it is a shame that I have to disable it, I do like the effect, but it just makes everything too blury, I don't like it. Oh well, it is what it is.
