(Searching for) ENB with little to no FPS impact

[Biodoll]

I love the "Harld World" or the various cinematic enb's ... but they kill my framerate.

 

Is there a ENB which makes the world more ... dark/silent hillish/harsh but without altering the tone to brown/green/pastel and keeps a stable FPS? Something like ... "Harld World" but without the 30 stolen FPS. :/

Hi, you can actually edit ENB to your liking with more advanced tweaks to achieve what you're looking for. There are a couple of ways to do this but I recommend starting with an ENB you like that already works well for you.

 

Essentially you will want to turn off features which are more taxing on performance. There are several ways you can do this. The easiest is to press "~" to open the console in your game (with your ENB of choice installed) which will "pause" your screen. Then press "Shift+Enter" to bring up your ENB settings. From here you can make adjustments and turn off various features to improve your FPS. When you're finished you can click save, press "Shift+Enter" to exit the settings and finally "~" to "unpause" the game.

 

Finally you can further edit ENBseries.ini which you installed with ENB by opening it with a text editor such as wordpad. This is more complex than I can explain in a single post so read some guides such as is for Skyrim but the same settings apply). http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBseries_INI The [effect] section is where you can quickly turn off and on features: http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:ENBseries_INI/Effect

 

My quick recommendations, if you're struggling for FPS is turn off God Rays. Change bVolumetricLightingEnable=1 in your falloutprefs.ini file to bVolumetricLightingEnable=0 or just turn it off with the vanilla launcher.

 

Good luck :smile:

I just want to quickly add one thing to Fatalmasterpiece's brilliant overview above.

 

A lot of Fallout 4 "ENBs" aren't just using ENB, a lot of them use an additional method called Reshade which is an infrastructure for getting a program called SweetFX to run on Fallout 4.

 

You might edit your ENB setting and find something isn't changing the way it should, just double-check your original base ENB and see if it also had a Reshade included as this might be where some of the effects are coming from.

 

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Reshade myself beyond what I've already said, so I can't give any more advice on how to work with it. I just wanted to let you know about its existence in case it was giving you confusing results while following Fatalmasterpiece's instructions.
