Fallout New Vegas: ENB series causing a black screen.

[JaCkBoston]

Hello, everyone. I'm starting this topic because 3 days of browsing the internet for any solutions didn't gave me any results so far. The problem is: I installed ENB series on a modded steam Eng/Pl/Cz/Rus version(SteamAppId is 22490) and at first it didn't worked at all with 4GB and NVSE installed, but then I found instructions and made the game to launch, I guess, with ENB libraries. Suddenly, another problem occured: game starts and works fine, but I can't see anything at all. Black screen is all I see from the start(logos and main menu are black also, like fully black, no elements visible at all). I can blindly start the game and do actions in it. I hear pipboy sounds when I press Tab/B button, I hear Cass and ED-E, I hear explosions when I press LMB/RT button and shoot my greanade launcher, but all I see is a big black rectangle of a size of my screen. I am sure it is caused by ENB series, because when I uninstall ENB - game works just fine. No screenshots for obvious reason.

 

I'm using FNV Realistic Wasteland Lighting FULL with ENB plugin installed. Also I guess it's worth mentioning I'm using slightly changed ini files from New Vegas Optimized to fit my system specs. Another thing to mention: FRAPS isn't working in this "black rectangle" situation. No FPS meter, screenshots and videocapturing are not working. Maybe some of these are hints to solve the problem.

 

My hardware(only basic things, because I can't see how my harddrive, PSU or motherboard can affect ENB and New Vegas, while every other game works just fine):

NVIDIA GTX 560 ti 1024MB

Core i5 3570 3.4Ghz

8GB DDR3 RAM 1666Mhz

This build of the game was tested by me for more than 30 hours and no modconflicts were spotted during that time. Worked like a charm untill ENB. Also, I tried different versions of ENB series both compatible and incompatible with Realistic Wasteland Lighting and result was the same - black screen, even with "original" ENB series from Boris' site. Injector version also doesn't work.

 

I will attach my ini file to this post in case there's something wrong with it and it is causing problems.

 

Hope this will help you to better understand my problem and that finally you will help me (and maybe others facing the same problem) to solve it. Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. For people coming in and saying "turn off antialiasing/anisotropic filtering/water displacement/transparency multisampling/check you NVIDIA control panel/configure ENB series ini files" - I'm not a noob, I read those instructions and I always turned off these settings both in launcher and in ini files when I installed ENB's before+cheked my control panel and ENB ini. I created this topic exactly because none of those "regular" solutions are working so far.

 

P.P.S. All the Grammar people out there: please don't blame me if I wrote something incorrect, English isn't my native language.

 

Update: It is working if laucnhed with a normal Fallout New Vegas launcher, NVSE and 4GB launchers are still not working.

 

Update #2: It seems I finally got rid of this problem. The way I did it:

1. Extract 4GB enabler to a separate folder from New Vegas root.

2. Put ENB series wrapper version d3d9.dll inside exes folder, created by 4GB enabler

3. Put all the other ENB stuff in the main FNV folder

4.Create a shortcut for fnv4gb.exe, right click on it => properties => target window. Now in that window write everything below replacing text in brackets with your own paths:

 

[Path to your 4gb Enabler]\fnv4gb.exe -exe "[Path to Steam]\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas\FalloutNV.exe" -laaexe "[Path to Steam]\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas\FalloutNV4gb.exe"

 

If you are using Eng/Pl/Cz/Rus version, then to the end of all the above you should add -SteamAppId 22490

 

Nobody's reading this topic but anyway if somebody will ever face the same issue as I did, then try the solution above, it might work.

I had the same problem. I think I just messed up the parameter syntax. After I pasted the "-SteamAppId 22490" parater at the and of the line, the game started up without any problem:

 

...\Fallout New Vegas enplczru\fnv4gb.exe" -laaexe .\FalloutNV4GB.exe -SteamAppId 22490

 

DAMN I'm modding this game for 4 days, and I still haven't played more than an hour with it xD
