ENB CTD Fix but no enblocal.ini

[Depressed4life]

I use Sharpshooter ENB but there is no enblocal.ini in my Skyrim folder.
Searched for a solution and came up with this link:
http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1191042-enb-ctd-fix/
I set up the mod organizer right and all, no warnings, still game works for 30min-2h and then it crashes, usually when I reload or I die and the game reloads or enter the open world from f.e. building.
Now, do I have to change the ENB and if not what should I do? I really like this particular ENB, Real Vision just doesn't look cool (my opinion). Do I create an ini, and if so, how?

EnbLocal.ini, must be different from a setup to another, so that's why more and more modder don't give one with there preset, just use one from another preset or the one from the binary's wrapper file, set it specifically for your setup, memory etc...

 

if you use MO, install the enb manually, it's the only mod which works the same with any profile you have

except few Enb's, Vividian, Real Vision, Dahaka etc.. they have a fomod installer, but you still have to go in your master file to copy past few files

 

How to install Sharpshooter classic

So I should use another ENB? Cause RealVision has enblocal.ini, in STEP it says "ENB has now memory management", the Sharpshooter ENB doesn't have one so it must be old, it has enbseries.ini instead. Could I add to the enbseries.ini the "memory" lines, or will it not work and I have to install a ENB with the desired ini file?

 

I use MO but install ENBs manually. The game works as I said but I cannot expand the memory as I don't have enblocal.ini in my Skyrim folder, just enbseries.ini. And because I can't expand my memory the game crashes every 30min-2hours.

 

I didn't quite understand you there, are you saying I could add an enblocal.ini from anothr ENB to the ENB I'm using? Or could I delete the enbseries.ini and put enblocal.ini instead?

Which version of Sharpshooters are you running? Version 5 has an enblocal and uses a much more up to date d3d9.dll. The classic version uses a d3d9.dll version from 2 years ago, so it wont have the mem boost.

[Depressed4life]

Don't know how I missed it, there is a version 5. Thanks a lot! I tried other ENB's like Real Vison and Vividian, but they crash even more frequently, and I'm sure I installed them correctly. Time to see how v. 5 works. Will get back to you, and thanks one more time.

 

EDIT:

Ok, I can't download the required dx9.dll file as it's no longer available, does someone have it?

Get the d3d9.dll from the binaries. Link

He said the dx9.dll

[Depressed4life]

I said dx9.dll but meant what the poster above me wrote, '3d9d.dll', was too lazy then to check the correct name, but I thought (and I thought right) you'll get the idea.

Back to the matter at hand. When using v5 it won't load. Tried to change enblocal.ini memory lines as in the link I originally posted. Nothing. Then I dowloaded skse.ini file (don't know how to create ini files) and applied the memory patch 3.0 from the STEP wiki. No juice. Worse even, cause now the game wouldn't load.

Deleted all Skyrim content except for mods, skse, fnis etc. Reinstalled it, tried to open the game and it works, all mods included. Then again I applied the v5 enb, the ini file for skse with the memory patch, changed in localenb.ini things like in the link in the OP. Infinite loading screen.

Important note: I used d3d9.dll v0236 cause v.0231 (required by the mod) is no longer downloadable. Boris removes some of the old binaries, found traces of some Skyrim (Tuner I believe?) forum where the old binaries could be found but the site is down.

What you provided doesn't allow me to download the specific version of the binaries needed by Sharpshooter. Found a discussion on redit, where they recommend using something similar so I downloaded v.0236, I believe, and still no juice. This is when I quit and didn't even try, as they suggested, the newest version - too much frustration then and tired.

 

I conclude that neither Real Vision nor Vividian is for me, I have to stick to the classic Sharpshooter. But then again I will have crashes from time to time and that is surely most annoying.

 

I remember there was this fine ENB that I liked back in 2012-3 I just can't remember it and this is where you come in. Could you list some of the most either endorsed, recommended (or not) by you or unique, ENBs? The search engine is weak, I type enb cause I don't know the name of the specific Enb I'm looking for and there's usually a lot of garbage or 5 versions of the already mentioned ENBs.

It'd be nice if those ENB's support the newe(st)r binaries so I don't have a problem as above.

Thanks for your input so far.

[saurusmaximus]

You generally don't need the exact binaries the preset calls for (unless it's the very newest, obviously) .0236 should do you just fine.

 

As for your enblocal.ini settings, can you post what yours actually are? And while you're at it, how much vram do you have?

 

Unfortunately, I'm not a good person to ask for an enb recommendation, I've tried several presets, but am a dedicated RealVision user.

 

Creating an .ini file is easy: open a text editor, like notepad, create the file and save it using the .ini file extension in the name; i.e.: skse.ini. In your case, however, I'm wondering if you shouldn't just reinstall SKSE to make sure everything is on the up-and-up.

My specs:

gtx 980 strix 4GB VRAM

i7 2600K @ 3.40 GHz

8GB RAM

SSD for games

 

Note: All games work on max settings, Witcher 3 for example works like a charm.

 

So how do you install Real Vision? I mean what steps do you take except for the skyrimprefs.ini changes (if some other ENB required more changes in the skyrimprefs.ini, than the one I'm about to use, do I revert them?).

 

I thought exactly the same about the skse.ini but when I added the extension the usual gear on the notepad file haven't showed up. So I didn't know if this was an 'ini' file or just a txt file with an 'ini' in name. That's why I downloaded skse.ini for 'lazy users' here on the nexus site.

Those are default settings but as I mentioned above I was tweaking the Enblocal then decided to leave it as it came in the first place (changed everything back to default).

And what do you know, it actually loads (v5)! But after 3 minutes! Yesterday I probably was too tired to wait more than 1 minute, so no infinite loadings after all. Whatever you're entering, the world or interiors you need to wait 2-3 minutes or so. That's unplayable. Just no. The Classic one had normal time loads. And this one (v5) doesn't even look too good (the v5), not as good as classic. Well I also did not change the usual bfloattargetrenderpoint etc. cause I was tired. Just now I changed it and.... Nothing changed except that I sped up time to daylight and I retract my statement - it looks good. The Loading time is just horrendous.

Skse.ini btw is found in Skyrim/Data/SKSE/ - or should it be in the main folder where the Skse executable is?)

Here are the Skse.ini settings:

[General]

ClearInvalidRegistrations=1

[Memory]

Enable=1

MemBlock1=512

MemBlock2=256

[Debug]

WriteMinidumps=1

Just found http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENB where there are lots of ENBs to choose from.

So in your opinion what should I do?

Edit:

Just installed Seasons of Skyrim and the loading screen was infinite. Set 6144MB (that's the correct, not what I was using) in the enblocal.ini and nothing. Deleted Enbhost.exe and d3d9.dll (thus removing the ENB to have a chance to enable itself in the game) and the game loads within 10 seconds.

I completely do not know what to do anymore. ENBs don't like me, the ones that do are old. Meh
