kicker04 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hello there! I wanted to try the Performance mod (the one which changes a dll-file) because I could run Oblivion always on max settings. Skyrim instead runs even in medium settings not quite satisfying. After copying the dll the game set the video settings on high by itself after the detection.But all the time I try to start the game I get only a black screen, the sound works but there's no screen. Thanks for any help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Do you have any GPU monitoring tools (EVGA, MSI Afterburner, etc.) running in the background? If so try disabling them. You can also try using Game Booster to disable all background processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker04 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 No, I don't have such tools. I will try the game booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchwererGustav Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I had the same prob, by me it was ATI TrayTools what made it CTD. Since i exit ATT befor playin, Skyrim never crashed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MShoap13 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You may just have to do without that mod if it's not a background process causing the issue. My understanding of it is that it's really for specific cards (this is what I've been told) and it may not work properly, or at all for other cards. You can also try out ENBSeries. It works wonders for me and a lot of other people, though there are a few still experiencing problems with it (most of them have ATI cards and Boris is working on it).

kicker04 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I try this ENBSeries stuff out. I really wonder why this "performance mod" causes this black screen issue. That's really a damn thing, because with it it sets my graphic settings (like in Oblivion) automatically to very high. If there weren't the black screen... ;)And the graphic of Skyrim seems very similar to the one in Oblivion, so I really don't understand this performance difference. Edit: By the way: Could somebody explain me how to use two d3d9.dll files at the same time, like it says in the readme of ENB? I don't get that part.I would like to try both mods together, maybe that helps against the black screen.

MShoap13 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Rename the Performance mod's d3d9.dll to d3d9Performance.dll (or anything you like so long as it ends with .dll) leave all of the files associated with the performance mod (including your renamed .dll) in the \Skyrim\ folder, Open ENBPatch.ini and change the following lines of code: [PROXY] EnableProxyLibrary=true InitProxyFunctions=true ProxyLibrary=d3d9Performance.dll Make sure the last line there matches whatever you renamed the performance mod's .dll to.

kicker04 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I tried the ENBSeries thing but it didn't change a lot. In combination with the performance mod dll there was the black screen again directly after starting.Can't get this performance mod to work.
