Resolution/Stuttering Issue (Likely ENB issue)

[Sweet6Shooter]

A couple days ago, I wanted to use the Lone Wanderer ENB, and I downloaded it, and the supporting ENB files. I accidentally downloaded one for FO3, and installed it, then the LW ENB files, started the game up, and the game's resolution dropped from my native 1600 x 1200 to 800 x 640. I started the game, the ENB didn't work, and everything looked bad in game.

 

I left the game for a few days, came back, downloaded the correct supporting ENB files, put them into the New Vegas folder, it overwrote some of the FO3 files, and then I installed the Enhanced Shaders (at http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/49882/?) and installed that over. I also installed some other mods that didn't affect any visuals, and I'm 99% certain that they cause no conflicts with anything.

 

I started the game up, the incorrect resolution still in effect, even after changing it to a different resolution, and running it in windowed mode. After a few attempts at fixing it, I gave up on ENBs for now, and tried to uninstall Lone Wanderer, Enhanced Shaders, Boris' Vontsov's ENBseries, and the FO3 ENBseries. I went through my New Vegas and data folders, and deleted all related files, and checked with each download to make sure there was nothing remaining.

 

I started it afterwards, and the incorrect resolution remained, even after the same tactics of changing resolution and attempting windowed mode. Ignoring the resolution, I started the game, and encountered very bad stuttering, where there was none before.

 

I know I messed up the base installation badly, and exacerbated the problem by installing other files over it. Any ideas on how to fix the resolution and stuttering?

clean the registry, delete the ini files and reinstall the game, your pretty much done . Move, not delete or uninstal all your data, but move it instead to a back up folder, all fomod;s, zips, rar's, 7z's.

 

before uninstalling , open up the fomm saved game manager and find the last one, export it's load order to the desk top. close fomm.

now uninstall all of the game. reboot, clean registry, reboot and start over, Get the machine back into good running order. Before using any software not from the games source, make a system registry back up, please do this. IF you mess up again, you can in an instant undue all the damage with ease, 10 seconds and your back up running before the bad faults took hold.

 

plan it out. you know what you used that caused the problem. That itch was scratched, now, back to the game.

This solution seems a little overboard. The problem is contained entirely to NV, not any other games.The machine is running just fine, but something is up with my NV files.

reinstall all Direct -x files, as that was the source, unless the ENB is not from Direct -x? is it? the software that comes with the game is a dead match, to get it, you need to run it's installer. you don't need to remove your mods ,just get them out of firing range so you can over write them one by one and test it.

 

Overboard? not at all. 20 minutes tops. Beats the heck out trying to figure out where the needle is. The machine. well heck, I guess noting from the game gets written to it...huih? I want one...

Remove the DLL ENB adds and delete the renderinfo.txt, Fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini from Docs\my games\falloutNV. Maybe also have Steam verify your installation.

Where would I find the installer for NV directx? I just want to make sure I can preserve my data folder, I spent a ton of time downloading mods to put in there.

I did that a few minutes ago, had the game check the integrity of the game cache, it installed a couple files, I started it, and the resolution and stuttering remained. After that, I deleted everything in the NV folder expect the data folder, and deleted all the above files from Documents/Games/FalloutNV, had Steam reinstall all the necessary files, started it, and the problems remained.

 

If there's any way I could reinstall everything but the data folder, so I can retain my installed mods, that would be fine.

do you own a book? a usb drive? you need to move all of what you want to keep out and out of the way and do what I said. Please believe me, I have gone through 60 hard drives I know exactly whats going on. you will never fix that bug until you remove those edits and entries made by that binary programs instructions to your hard ware registry information. Never.

 

The whole point of Direct -x is to trans plant how the video displays data and works on the operating system, in order for that binary to work, IT must write information for that game in the registry to use only it's instructions. You must remove it. Unibule, ccleaner might? I doubt it. you need a reg cleaner at most.

 

I know it does not effect other games, other games had other data used. You freely admitted a mistake, ok so that is a done deal, now you need to undo it.

 

when the uninstaller runs, as it is windows, it leaves behind garbage, every one knows this. as long as that binary language is present in the registry, it will remain forever.

 

the windows cleaner might find it? but uninstall pro is also better too. think....hard. be cautious and carefully , you said you have other game? but the display is now doing the same thing?

 

you have no choice. you can't make mistakes like this with out what comes with it.

 

give it some more thought, Google the software ( Uninstaller pro ) use the demo to fix your machines problems put the game back on and run it, set it back up and don't repeat the mistake. I'll be around for you.

Using a custom D3D9 DLL requires that you re-detect hardware by running the launcher again. Keep in mind that doing so will wipe out any changes you've made to Fallout.INI.
