EDIT: 24 feb 2016 binaries updated. At this time from reports DataSyncMode=1 and PriorityMode=0 is enough for fixing crashes. And DataSyncMode=2 with PriorityMode=3 have better performance for Intel CPUs with 4-12 cores. Hyper-threading is an evil for Skyrim, disable it if possible in BIOS or by affinity mask for the process set to physical cores only. Steam beta (reported 22 feb 2016) is buggy and produce stuttering and performance issues.
This mostly works for me in terms of performance, But I play with ds4 and a ps4 controller acting as a 360, normally this is fine, but the moment enblocal.ini is in play the left sticks sensitivity is multiplied to absurdity. A tap will shoot it all the way across the map, menus are impossible with the stick and must be navigated with dpad. But the map is were its just imposable as it only cares about the stick. I tried reducing sensitivity on ds4's end, but even capping it at 1% its to much, in fact it seemed like it didn't even effect it which is very odd. I will try to comb through the settings in enblocal to see what in there does it as I have isolated it to that. But nothing obvious stands out.
Clutter items in interiors when in first person makes very odd physic problems that I can't exactly explain. Turning on fps limiter seems to fix issue partially. But is there any other way to fix this without turning on fps limiter?
Okay so, to summarise: As of now, all this mod here does is change and add a few values in the enblocal.ini file, which you will already have had to edit if you have been setting up ENBSeries with an ENB preset. If you've already set ENB and a preset up, you can just go to enblocal.ini (which should be right in your game's directory - where you put it - ) and set ReservedMemorySizeMb=256, VideoMemorySizeMb=3968 (or higher, depending on your system. The author of the ENB I downloaded explained and linked this tool here: http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm (if you use Windows 10, substract 350 from the result and you have your max value). Then set DataSyncMode=1 That's literally it. This mod file also enables ExpandSystemMemoryX64, however the instruction site the ENB preset creator linked warns that this setting conflicts with "Sheson's Memory Patch", a mod that is reportedly part of SKSE since the last update on that page ( https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/SkyrimLE:ENBLocal_INI_Reference/Memory ). As we basically all have to use SKSE, I would therefore leave that unchecked.
That's it.
To make it easier for others to dig this up in less hours than I spent, this is where you get the latest ENBSeries: http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0479.htm (scroll all the way down to the tiny download button)
And this is the ENB I used which came with some nice instruction reminders the creator of the whole ENB stuff actually didn't mention...: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50065/?tab=description

Reading all text files carefully and studying all sourced mentioned here, you should come as far as I have in actually getting everything together you need for this to work. Jesus Christ. Now, I'll actually try running this for the first time. It'll probably crash immediately because it is 7 years old.
I had some trouble with crashes with my game running with plus 70 mods and this ENB really helped... Its 2023 and its still working... and its running smoothly with all the crazy mods. This works, people!
Scroll down and click the latest version number (the link is in black text so it doesn't look like a link). Then scroll to the bottom and click the black arrow.
(.472 made me crash when I went outside. .434 was stable)
You are a god. That website is actual garbage. The link on the mod page sent me to what I assume is the landing page, and the ONLY WAY to access it is to click the "news", as that is the ONLY link on the page. So now I go to downloads, and I click on TES Skyrim, and the ONLY download is version .0096 Antifreeze (Outdated, included in ENBSeries) I wish this project was more concise and organized. I have absolutely no idea still what ENBSeries is supposed to be as opposed to ENBoost or where this d3d9.dll the dev keeps talking about is supposed to come from.
Hey there, I'm working myself through setting this up right now. So, the d3d9.dll file is part of the enbseries wrapperversion. I understand there's two versions to install it, the injector is the simpler one? idfk. I went with the wrapperversion. I did what the install and readme text files in the folder told me to, and simply copied all required files (including d3d9.dll) to my game folder. BTW: enbseries is a reshader project base framework, which can do a lot of stuff affecting visuals and graphics, and requires a user-made preset (or you creating one) to actually make it look good. Anyways: To make the thing work, you're then told in the readme file: "bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 must be set in SkyrimPrefs.ini file to make this mod work. Start SkyrimLauncher.exe to configure your video options again.
This is just the mod without preset, you need to download them from the forum http://enbdev.com or Nexus web site." WHat this quote doesn't mention is that you have to do this in your documents folder, not the game directory. There's one SkyrimPrefs.ini each. So, I did this and now I'll look for an actual enb preset to use with this (it probably isn't required for the ctd-fix part to work but.. eh...). Then I'll install that. And then I can finally install the actual crash fix mod right here. I'll update this comment as I progress.
Edit: I think I got everything, finally. I posted a more detailed """guide""" of what I just did above.
Is there another way to get this? I dont really trust other sites and dont really know how to use manual downloads, like where do I put them or something
can this be ported to se? i need it, forum users recommended this to help fix a bug where npc's turn invisible due to too many hdt threads being active at once. absolutely need this in my load order, smp stretch fix doesnt help at all.
