An ENBSeries mod that IMPROVES performance

[Jeoshua]

Download ANTIFREZE 0.9. It is intended for Skyrim but anyone who knows the slightest bit about Fallout 3's engine will know that this ENBSeries mod is intended for the same basic engine as Fallout 3, since it is made for Skyrim, a game also by Bethesda on a modified base of the same engine.

 

So far my testing has revealed that some persistent strange freezes resulting from Glowing Ones and cell transitions have been entirely eradicated! This is such an overdue fix I can't believe it took this long in coming.

 

For even BETTER performance, this can be used with the d3d9 perf fix (found here). That one was meant for New Vegas, but will work just fine with Fallout 3 (or any other game for that matter). It will make your graphics card look beefier to Fallout, and perform better all around. It will literally look different to Fallout 3, so you will need to either run FalloutLauncher.exe and insert your CD again or manually change your FalloutPrefs.ini file ("NVidia Geforce 7900 GS" or "NVidia Geforce 8800 GS")

 

Then install the ENB Antifreze, renaming it to swiftshader-d3d9.dll and it will load alongside and along with the d3d9 perf fix.

 

Et Viola! Total coverage.

After looking at it more closely, one does not need the d3d9 perf fix anymore with this nifty ENB gem.

 

The string in FalloutPrefs.ini should be changed to:

 

sD3DDevice="ENB"

 

Et Viola!

Strange, it really works...

I don't see how it's all that strange.

 

Use any ENB version on Fallout that you want. 90% of them work, they're just not optimal. But Skyrim is 90% the same engine as Fallout 3 and New Vegas, just with totally different art resources. Whatever fixes Skyrim will most likely fix Fallout 3, engine wise.

 

On a related note, expect SKSE and SKMM and Skyrim Stutter Remover very soon. Or you could, if there were any need for them (and someone will probably find one)

not working for me, the ENB message appears loading the game but shift+F12 doesnt activate it. ive got the 4 required files (3 dll and the enb config) have changed the Fallout Prefs vid card to "ENB" loaded the game thru the launcher, and checked the readme for clues. Am i missing something? Ive tried ENB on GTA4 etc and know there should be a pretty noticable differenceng

 

wait so this one doesnt alter visual details at all! lol, that explains nothing changes. if only it worked with msi afterburner :(

Yep, it's just a bugfix, not a true ENBSeries graphical amazingness thing.

 

You can use it with them, tho, by setting it as a proxy library at the top of enbpatch.ini

 

I'm currently using it with FXAA Injector and things are running very smoothly, indeed. ;)

wow, so Fxaa injector works in fo3 and fonv also, nice, but is it a big hit on framerates without enb antifreeze? Im not really sure my average framerates on the current system (hd6770m 1gb) cause its mostly unmoded sofar, but seems to hold up really well considering whats installed. also have you read if Fxxa injector has the same sortof issue with msi afterburner? thats the only reliable overclocking tool igot with an ati card since ati tray tools buggy as hell, keeps telling me to reinstall it cause its didnt install right Edited December 18, 2011 by nisen

I don't know anything about overclocking. Last time I tried it I got nothing but 60 fps for a minuite or two, and then a whole lot of blue smoke, if you know what I mean.

[nisen]

lol thats why you benchmark for a stable overclock with stuff like 3dMarkVantage and 3dMark11 http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=6 Stables usually 15-20% over factory clocks; just need to watch till the benchmarks artifact, then lower it abit till it doesnt, and google your card for an idea what numbers are normal but lower them to start, incase those users exaggerated, or lucky or overvolted it, noone wants to report a shitty overclock :D Edited December 18, 2011 by nisen

Hi,

 

This may or may not be the best place to ask this, but it's worth a shot:

 

I've been trying to use the Antifreeze patch in Fallout 3 but haven't had success. I'm using it in both Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas (works great for both), so I'm pretty sure I'm putting it in the right place. The game starts fine, I see the little credit blurb for the Antifreeze patch up in the top corner, and the main menu works like usual but whenever I try loading a game or starting a new one it spends a few seconds loading then crashes. If I remove the Antifreeze patch, the game loads fine except I have to deal with random freezes that force me to hard reboot.

 

I realize that's not much to go on, but any advice about things I could tweak in an attempt to get this working would be much appreciated.

 

Edit: Nevermind, I got it to work. I had to add another d3d9.dll as a proxy.
