AceGoober Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 ENB has issues with Windows 8.1. I suggest uninstalling ENB and installing an alternative such as RCRN. http://www.rcrncommunity.com/support/starter-guide/standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhowington Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have no problem running an ENB with 8.1. Windows 8.1, for me, has provided improved gameplay, including a slight increase in FPS. My ENB (E ENB) looks fantastic and runs very smooth. I am using the latest Nvidia drivers 331.58.

Rjoande Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I report my experience with Windows 8.1, it may be helpful for some users:after updating to 8.1, Skyrim didn't load a savegame (looked like infinte loading, while normally took seconds, so I always needed to type Alt+Tab some times). After loaded the game, the fps was horrible, even whit minimal graphic settings (eg, using 'teofis' console command). Other games, like Shogun 2, didn't even open.After an hour of cheating on "compatibility options" (with no success), I discovered that, for some reason, Win 8.1 had decided to set the Intel HD integrated GPU as default GPU for all application, instead of the dedicated Nvidia GT650. I reset the dedicated GPU as default GPU, an the problem was solved.In conclusion, if someone had similar issues, this may be a way to fix them, especially if you're having it on a notebook like me (Dell Inspiron 15R customized). To set the default GPU, right click on Skyrim (or any other game/program with high graphic requirements, and choose "Launch with GPU..." (my OS is in Italian, so I don't know the corresponding message in English). In the second level menu, you should be able to open a control panel for setting the default GPU). This night (GMT+1) I'll take a look and add more details, an a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This night (GMT+1) I'll take a look and add more details, an a screenshot. So, you must right click on the Skyrim icon, select "Run with graphic processor..." (or something like that), then "Change dafault graphic processor". It should open a new configuration window. For me, it opened Nvidia cotrol center; in this case, you can choose which GPU should be used for the graphic-hungry apps. Be well. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShionKT Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I'm running windows 8.1 pro 32bit with 2Gb RAM (1.85Gb available for OS) with HD Graphic 2000 (Intel on CPU graphic, with newest driver from Intel although it's recommend that using driver customized from the PC manufacture.) at lowest setting, resolution @1064:600 and sh*t load of mods that do have .esp/esm files, just few more files to 255 limit + (firewall & anti-virus & HD audio manager & Logitech Mouse-keyboard manager). lolSkyrim still playable and i've 3 follower with me, run fine with or without enboost. lolI'm dual run XP and windows 8 (up to 8.1 after 8.1 rtm was out for a month) for me Skyrim run faster with few more fps on 8/8.1 compare to XP.

ryansc864 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I also cannot load skyrim in windows 8.1. It always seems to hang on loading even with a new game and the saves deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rBaldrick Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I moved all my games from old laptop with Win7 to the new better one Win8.1. This is when my troubles started. BF3 worked after some changes here and there, and other games worked fine even by just copying folders, but NMM is giving me very bad problems. When I update mods information and search for updates, I always get this message now. Tracing an Unhandled Exception:Exception: Message: Access to the path 'C:\Users\rody\AppData\Local\Temp\BBLS_CDR_ResolutionReducer_0_5k-24340-1-1.7z.zip.~' is denied.Full Trace: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\rody\AppData\Local\Temp\BBLS_CDR_ResolutionReducer_0_5k-24340-1-1.7z.zip.~' is denied. I saw this type of error from VC in Win8. People are complaining of this type of error "Access to path Temp is denied". I could not find a solution. I am thinking of updating NMM to the new version, did anyone try it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa1962 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Will try some things tonight, but wanted to forewarn other adventurous types... I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took windows 8.1 in the knee... :-( If you're having a better experience or have fixed it, please let me know here.. I'm afraid not, my experience was pretty much similar to yours. Only it was an arrow to the head. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1188678-skyrim-will-not-run-in-windows-81/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalloutAddict111 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Fallout 3 is incompatible also. I think that microsoft is losing it. I'm not going to upgrade. Can anyone tell me where I can get an official version of Windows 7? It seems that this is the best version for modders and gamers. I am fairly new to modding but the bug has bitten me and I am hooked now so I want to continue modding and learning more about modding. Also any recomendations to help me learn more would be appreciated. I have the FO3Edit manual and have been reading that. But I have seen some software on Nexus that seems to point one in this direction also but in a mod form. Well thanks all. Make sure you run the upgrade assistant if you plan on upgrading anyway!
