Two Small But Odd Issues

[Wolfpack49]

(Sorry for the cross-post, I posted in the wrong forum first time around).

So neither of these are game breaking, just a bit annoying, mainly because I'm not sure why they are occurring. Curious if anyone has experienced anything similar.

 

(1) The loading screen images and on the title page are showing black silhouettes of the image rather than the actual colored texture image. I've tried deleting the video cache and turning off the enb shade cache and the driver cache, but hasn't helped. In-game meshes and textures display fine.

 

(2) The first save I load gives the "The save file is corrupt and cannot be opened" message, but if I load that same save again, it loads up fine. It's consistent, and I have Engine Fixes MaxStdio set to 8192.

 

I have a feeling (1) may be enb related, but so far It's a mystery.

EDIT: Some textures are peeking through now on the loading screens. It's gotta be a cache issue of some kind...

@1: I doubt that the ENB shader cache has anything to do with your issue. It's for preloading shaders only. AFAIK, this cache isn't used for textures at all.

 

I agree that the problem might be ENB (or Reshade) related though. Some quick checks:

 

1. What happens if you disable ENB? Does the issue still persist?

2. Try adding the line "IgnoreLoadingScreen=true" to your enblocal.ini under [FIX]. This should disable ENB effects during loading screens. Might solve the problem.

3. Are you using Reshade, too? Reshade can produce some really weird stuff on loading screens and with open inventory or game menu...

4. (Not ENB related) Are your GPU drivers up to date? Some time ago there was an issue with strange flickering during loading screens with certain Nvidia drivers. Might be something similar.

 

@2: No real idea, sorry.

Thanks for replying! Okay, some good findings:

 

1. I don't know why I didn't test this first (thanks!), but yes, the issue goes away with ENB disabled, so definitely ENB-related. I tested with older versions of ENB, but the issue persists.

2. So this appears to be the culprit! I actually had been using wSkeever's Re-nable ENB on Loading and Title Screens, and disabling this shows the images again. It appears that if I have either this installed or set IgnoreLoadingScreen=false, I get the black silhouettes. So definitely something up with applying ENB to those images (I don't have reshade).

3. Drivers are up to date (511.79)

 

I'll just disable the ENB on loading screens for now, and move on.

 

On the corrupt save, I am fairly sure this is some interaction that occurred between Manbeast (werewolf mod) and Helmet Equipping Overhaul as this is about the time the save messages appeared. Something about the werewolf transform unequipping armors and the recorded helmet... Ah well, it is late in the game anyway, so not too worried about it.
