I used to have this on my pc a few years back and I loved it, it worked like a charm! Now I've a dreaded Windows 10 and seem to lose that lovely strong depth of field effect despite dropping the enbeffectprepass.fx from k enb. Is it because of the lame OS or am I missing something? I've been digging through the files and trying things for a week now. Mind you, everything works until I add sweetfx files.
Alrighty, I fixed it and now the thing works perfectly! Apparently Sweetfx and Nvidia graphics cards REALLY hate each other. Also Win10 and ENB hate one another too. So, this is what I had to do (in case someone else has the same issues). It looks lengthy and scary, but it really isn't.
NECESSARY DOWNLOADS: - DirectX 10 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 - ENB 0.199 http://enbdev.com/enbseries_skyrim_v0119.zip OR - ENB 0.308 (works better + in-game menu + works on screenshots) http://enbdev.com/enbseries_skyrim_v0308.zip - Project MATSO 3 variants http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/ajax/downloadfile?id=93985 - RadeonPRO (works with Nvidia too) http://www.radeonpro.info/download/
INSTALLATION: 1. Install DirectX 10 so ENB doesn't keep crashing things
2. Download ENB 0.XXX of your choice and copy d3d9.dll from WrapperVersion folder to main Skyrim folder
3. Drop contents of Project MATSO file (for enb 0.119 > COLOR IMMERSIVE BLOOM version > put these files in Skyrim MAIN folder) in your Skyrim main folder where exe is. For me it's G: \Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim
4. Drop enbeffectprepass.fx (for DOF) either from MATSO (it's light), SweetFX (it varies from light to hard and you can pick it in the sweetfx folder under performance options > DoF ) or Kinematic ENB (very strong DOF, download link above)
5. When/if copying enbeffectprepass.fx replace the old one
6. DO NOT copy SweetFX file into Skyrim folder! Make a copy of it for backup in case you want to return to original settings
7. Install and open RadeonPro, then click the Settings icon (top bar, first icon in the middle divider)
8. Click on SweetFX setings and tick on the Enable SweetFX Integration
9. Under SweetFX files root location enter the file path to your fantasy SweetFX folder. It should look something similar to this G: \skyrim mods\Fantasy MATSO FINAL\Extract to MAIN Folder
10. Under Toggle SweetFX hotkey you can also set what turns the thing on and off so you can check if it's working. Click Save when done
11. Then click on the Add New Profile icon (top bar, first icon in the left divider) and browse for Skyrim exe in the main folder to add it
12. Click on the Visual tab on the right and tick FXAA and set Quality to Ultra
13. Click on the SweetFX tab and tick Enable SweetFX (you can also edit imported settings here too, I personally unticked Vignette)
14. Right click on the Skyrim in Profiles on the right and Select Apply now
15. Run the game THROUGH the RadeonPro (right click on Skyrim in Profiles, then Play). Otherwise, SweetFX WILL NOT RUN
You can also do the same with SKSE! Simply add SKSE exe through Add New Profile and repeat everything done in the tabs on the right
Ok i've downloaded "enb for skyrim" from the site and your latest file, but I can't find the the files in your description, nothing says "Color Immersive Bloom Version" or anything remotely close to that in those rar, I'm so confused, couldn't you just make a dummy pack where ppl can just throw everything into the Skyrim folder and take off right away?
I've already spent half an hour trying to figure out how this works....hopefully can get it running, since the screenshots are soooo god, this high saturation fantasy feeling really suit my taste.
Sorry for being ignorant, but the readme is actually well written! I finally got it running, though there doesn't seem to be much difference visually...and scroll lock doesn't work either., still trying to figure out how to set it correctly. I think you should really mention about the readme file in the description, and the file from the ENB site makes it even more confusing.
For those who cant install this thing: 1. Download the file from the ENB site, extract d3d9.dll from the wrapper folder to you skyrim main directory (with TESV.exe) 2. dump everything in the fantasy sweet rar to the skryrim folder, keep the directory structure. 3. ENABLE bloom in SweetFX_settings.txt....???... actually I'm still trying to figure out why this does nothing and my Anti-Aliasing is totally gone.....
EDIT: I finally got this working right, seems like ALOT of settings has to be done since this ENB doesn't really come with a real setup file. Love the colorful effect, thanks for the awesome ENB, thumbs up and endorsed!
Love this mod but is there a way to get this enb or atleast MATSO's enb to be compatible with ENBoost? This mod + Matso's has got to be the best enb I have ever seen not only in Skyrim, but in any game I have ever seen.
I loaded up some of my old ENBs I used to use after trying this out.. and ones I used to think were colourful now look SO desaturated because I got used to seeing this.
I've always liked super colourful things and have always been disappointed that its such a rarity in modern games. Why can't we have high quality graphics with awesome colours?
Well now we can
Thanks for posting this here. Also doesn't seem too much more perv-heavy over the original though I did turn off HDR to be safe.
While calibrating your monitor is good, the settings only display how the physical monitor looks, not how images screenshot or videos recorded look. Those will look different from PC to PC.
Changing monitor settings doesn't effect individual games. Someone with completely different monitor settings using the same setup as someone else and both screenshotting a place would look the same side by side. The only time the differences would be noticed is when physically looking at the monitors.
Your game's look comes from graphical mods, weather, time of day, graphic settings, and of course the enb and sweetfx.
I can't get this to work with the new .250 enb. I updated realvision and added everything except enbseries.ini and no luck in game. The black corners won't even show up
