I can't get 4GB Skyrim to work with FXAA Post Process Injector

[AtomicDonkeh]

Hi,

 

I've been searching this for the past hour or so, and only found one relevant topic, which didn't explain anything. I've been using the FXAA mod for a while, and really want to use it with the other textures I've installed, but it crashes without the 4GB mod.

I tried placing the 4GB launcher in the Skyrim folder and a few other things, but I can't seem to get it to work.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Did you have Steam running before you tried to launch? Did you place the skyrim4gb_helper.dll in the same folder as the skyrim4gb.exe? Those are two things that come to mind.

Maybe something related with the patch version you are?

 

I'm not sure what is the problem, FXAA does not depend on the way the game is launched, it's dll is activated because have preference being at the game's folder over that at your Windows folder structure. Unless you installed some other mod that places d3d9.dll at Skyrim install folder, case of ENB series for example and you need to rename FXAA d3d9.dll and chain it at ENBseries ini file.

I don't have ENB installed. I just tried again reinstalling FXAA and running skyrim4gb straight from the extracted download, but it still won't use the FXAA Injector. What am I doing wrong?

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind testing out skyrim4gb with FXAA to see if it works for you? Maybe I'll just reinstall the game if it does.

 

(EDIT: I forgot to add that I have the latest version of Skyrim and these mods.)

FXAA in no way affects the game's files so reinstalling the game will not help at all. As I told before, the only requisite for FXAA to work is it's files being at the same folder Skyrim.exe is, it's d3d9.dll is automatically launched instead the original which should be at the Windows structure (outside the game's responsibility). On the other hand, you may need the original d3dx9_26.dll and d3dx9_40.dll (which should be included into the dx9 for windows 7 but seen it is not by default). Search your C: for them, install if they are not present or only inside cab files. Edited December 18, 2011 by nosisab

Thanks for replying,

 

Still, when I use skyrim4gb's launcher, I don't get the FXAA mod with it. However, when I launch using Steam, I do. I know that skyrim4gb creates its own TESV.exe, which is why I tried placing the laucher in the skyrim file. Do you think this could be the problem? And if so, how can I stop skyrim4GB from creating it's own TESV.exe?

 

(And yes, I do have d3dx9_26.dll and d3dx9_40.dll.)

Okay, I've found the solution.

 

To anyone who may come across this, you have to first install the FXAA mod, and then copy the d3d9.dll that was created in your "skyrim" folder to the "exes" folder located wherever you have placed skyrim4gb.

I tried this and as soon as I start the skyrim4gb it crashes to desktop

Sounds like you botched something regarding the config files of FXAA. If you moved them into the exe folder for 4GB Skyrim, move them back to the main \Skyrim\ folder. If you didn't move them to the exe folder, try moving them there (I'm personally still running v1.1 at least until 1.4 is confirmed working and doesn't introduce new problems).

 

If you've downloaded someone else's config file for your version of FXAA this could also be the problem. The different versions have different config files and using the wrong version config for your version of FXAA is known to cause this issue. If you've been tinkering with the config or the shader.fx file of your FXAA you may have introduced a syntax error that will also cause the CTD you're describing, in this case reinstall FXAA with the original config files.

Whats causing the crash for me, is moving the d3d9.dll into the exe file, as soon as i remove it, the game works perfectly, but without the FXAA. should i continue looking for a way (has somebody found a way to make it work?) or should i just give up?
