I will probably add/change/correct some things in the near future.
If you know any other fixes for a problem, please send me a PM and i will add it to this list.

_________________________________________________________

FRESH INSTALL PROCESS ENB

Please verify you're not using another version of ENB
If you were using one in the past, remove all remaining files from Skyrim main folder
Drag the ENB files provided with the mod in Skyrim main data folder
Go to MyDocuments/Mygames/Skyrim
Verify that "bFloatPointRenderTarget=1" and sD3DDevice="ENB" are correctly set in SkyrimPrefs.ini
If not, modify these lines exactly as above
Take your two inis (Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini), and put them on your desktop for backup (Anyway, always have your inis backuped somewhere)
Delete rendererinfo.txt
Go to Skyrim main folder and launch TESV.exe
It will recognize your render device, must be "ENB", and create two default inis in MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim
Don't launch the game, quit the launcher
Go to MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim and delete the two default inis
Take back the Inis you backed up from your desktop, and put them in MyDocuments/MyGames/Skyrim
You're ready to go !

FRESH INSTALL PROCESS REALISTIC LIGHTING

Take the 4 Realistic Lighting files provided with the mod and put them in Skyrim/Data folder
Please verify that your computer recognizes the realisticlightingpatcher and is java updated in order to launch it
Run the patcher once
Verify that "realisticlighting.esp" and "realisticlightingpatcher.esp" are checked in your Skyrim default launcher / NMM / BOSS / Wrye bash
Verify that they are at the BOTTOM of your load order and that the patcher is loaded AFTER the main esp.
If you're using other mods that alters light / weather / fog, please remove it, as RL does the same, but better
You're ready to go !

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT : PLEASE READ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you enter the game, immediatly enter an interior cell : home, inn
Wait 2 full days
Make a new save, DON'T OVERWRITE, USE A FRESH SLOT
Quit the game
Load the save you've just done.
Play !

Lighting problems:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check list:
• did you overwrote another ENB with this one?
-> If you did so make sure you didnt left anything behind
• make sure Realistic Lighting + Patcher is activated and in the right load order:
-> Realistic Lighting.esp then
-> Realistic Lighting Patcher.esp
• Do you use any Lighting or sunglare mods/textures?
-> Uninstall them and check if they are causing the problem.
• make sure fGamma=1.0000 is set to this in your skyrimprefs.ini you can find it at my documents/my games/skyrim

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In and around Riften I'm getting some weird effect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• this problem is typically RL related. Download realistic.esp last fix (Riften fix two) here:
http://skyrim.nexusm...ile.php?id=7654

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cant see underwater:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways to fix that:
• This is the easiest way to fix that: Set bDoDepthOfField=0 in skyrimprefs.ini (you can find it under my documents/my games/skyrim). No extra mods are neccessary to fix the green water problem. If you use this dont forget to make sure the Greenwaterfixforwater.esp is deactivated. (dont worry the ENB DoF will still work)
• The other way is to use the (in the mod included) Greenwaterfixforwater.esp if you have trouble with this look below.

Greenwaterfix doesnt work:
• Did you installed W.A.T.E.R and activated it?
• try to set the Greenwaterfixforwater.esp at the end of your load order.
• It seemse for me that some mods which require a water patch are not compatible with Greenwaterfixforwater.esp.
Some of these mods are even corupting your save game and you need to deinstall them and start a new game
or load a save where you didnt had the mod installed to get the Greenwaterfixforwater to work.
(i got this with the Basic Needs mod)

Kahjit night vision/Vampire's sight isnt working!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• This is a compatibility problem between skyrim and enb.
No fixes are out there as far i know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got Grass shadow issues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• This is a compatibility problem between skyrim and enb 1.02 caused from the skyrim 1.5+ patch.
No fixes are out there as far i know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use FXAA indicator with this mod?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

• just rename the FXAA d3d9.dll to d3d9_FXAA.dll and copy these values in your enbseries.ini:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=d3d9_FXAA.dll
Overwrite the old ones! Then both should work just fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to improve my performance even more?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• First of all you can disable the SSAO, this should give you a massive performance boost.
-> Edit the enbseries.ini and set EnableAmbientOcclusion=true to false.
• Next possibility is to decrease the Game graphic settings via Launcher or via tweaks.
-> iMultiSample=X is the Value fot the Antialising (AA) (possible values 0,2,4,
-> iMaxAnisotropy=XX is the value for the Ansiotropy Filtering (AF) (possible values 0,2,4,8,12,16)
You can find both in the skyrimprefs.ini (at my documents/my games/skyrim)
• you can change ForceAnisotropicFiltering=true to false in your enbseries.ini aswell
• or change the value of it MaxAnisotropy=XX (possible values 0,2,4,8,12,16)
• If you disable Depth of Field (DoF) you gain a good amount of performance aswell.
-> edit your enbseries.ini and set EnableDepthOfField=true to false
I wouldnt recommand using all of these options just take as much as you need.
And if you have a Nvidia card tweaked your Nvidia settings for skyrim restor them to default again this gives a great performance boost aswell.


I want to say Thanks to:
->Sharpshooter8 for making this awesome mod
->Kyokushinoyama & UnrealWarfare for helping me with that collection and helping so many users with their problems
->Everyone else who helps users with their problems
->And last but not least to Boris the creator of ENB series, without him all of this wouldnt be possible.

"Kahjit night vision/Vampire's sight isnt working!

This isn't a post 1.5 patch issue. It's been a documented side effect for much longer than that.

"Greenwaterfix doesnt work "

Set bDoDepthOfField=0 in skyrimprefs.ini. No extra mods are neccessary to fix the green water problem.

Regarding AF if you set it through ENB turn it off in Skyrim. Set it at x8 max. According to Boris it's better to set it through ENB though I personally see little difference in performance or visual quality.

Regarding extra performance in general you can disable Depth of Field for more performance (there are also more performance friendly variants out there), remove Effect text files that add sharpening or noise filters, disable Vignettes (if used), and last resort use 0.108 (this disables a lot of stuff and can make some configurations look bad). You'll also find that the effect.fx file can affect performance depending on who's effect.fx file you use or which version of it.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for my english =S, I have a question, Magicka Saber works with ENBs?, I make this question because isn't work for me, Magicka Sabers effects dont see whit this mod.

[EliteKillerBRA]

my game close before to go to the start menu, how i fix this ?

[cl1m4x]

I downloaded this today and the game worked fine until I installed this. I know how to remove it (This is the source of my problem, the ENB, I've had to remove it before and Skyrim worked again so I don't think it's another mod) I'd really like to be able to play with this. I'm still running on the patch that came with the game when it launched, I'm currently downloading v1.4 (Or the latest, whatever it is) as we speak, would the version be the issue here? My PC is a beast, so I don't think it's my performance causing this issue, but here's my specs anyways ( Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Intel Core i7 3.7GHz CPU, 6144MB RAM, DirectX 11, AMD Radeon HD 6870 (6800 series) Driver version 8.950.0.0, Current display 1920x1080 (32bit) (60Hz))

Here's a list of the mods I currently have installed:
Blacksacrement Mod pack
bloodiercombatv1.1
crimson tide- blood
greenwaterfixerforwater
realistic lighting patcher
realistic lighting
reversed daggers
the dance of death
unofficial skyrim patch
Skyrim HD- 2K (The entire texture pack, dungeons, towns, landscapes, etc..)

I'm not a noob to troubleshooting PC's/mods but this is the first and only problem I've experienced with Skyrim so far. I'm a big Eye candy lover, I'd hate to have to play without this. Thanks for any and all help!

[calranthe]

Hello, really want to get this mod to work but even following the troubleshooting I am having an issue (even if using the no blur).
Everything is blurred close far it is almost like I am on the wrong resolution but I am not.

Is there a setting in skyrim or anything else, it only started happening once I installed the EGV.

My graphics drivers are updated my card is 470 gtx
Willing to try anything.


EDIT**
Okay I feel dumb, it was nothing to do with this mod I believe, some how my char got drunk and the inebriated affect became permanent lol so I was permanently blury eyes.

Why can't someone just make a guide on Youtube so people won't get it wrong the first time....

[Kyokushinoyama]

@cairanthe, @cl1m4x, @EliteKillerBRA :
Please,
check the Fresh install Process just below.
check the mod description for compatibility or not with 3rd party tools as EVGA

@cl1m4x :
if your mods are actually listed in their load order, see below, that maybe the source of your problem.
Also, got a doubt about Black Sacrament mod... isn't it requiring last Skyrim patch ?

[sh33ba]

This is how it looks for me. Anyone know what the problem could be? :>

EDIT

I Managed to fix it by also installing the realistic lighting thingy xD Totally forgot about that
