ENB problems with new vegas

[viral777]

Whenever I try and bring up the ENB menu my new vegas game crashes instantly, and I have no idea why. the ENB menu worked yesterday but then I decided to change enb's. Now i've reinstalled new vegas about 20 times in the past 24 hours trying to figure out why this happened. And I can't figure it out. The game runs perfectly well, but once I hit Shift-Enter the game crashes. Sometimes when I do a fresh install of New Vegas with a fresh ENB sometimes the game doesn't even launch too. Its something to do with the dxd9.dll. I need some serious help, its driving me to insanity. Thanks!

First of all, isolate the problem to either the game or ENB. Which means, get the game to launch correctly and reliably first. Forget about ENB until that is fixed. In general you should have your game completed modded and stable before attempting to add a "post-processor" like ENB into the situation. "Post-processors" take a hit to your game performance (FPS), so you need to know what that base-line performance is before you take that hit so you know how bad it is and if you can still play with it.

 

Do you happen to have Steam installed to the default location? Please see the wiki "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" article for why the default Steam behavior of installing games to the "C:\Program Files" folder tree is bad and "disabling UAC and running as Administrator" is NOT sufficient, with instructions how to move it. This is the single most important thing you can do to fix and protect yourself against problems in the future. Please see the 'Restoring to "Vanilla"' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article when you do so..

As for your ENB problems, most likely you installed something incorrectly. Please see the 'Solutions to Post-Processor (ENB/SweetFX et. al.) problems' section in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

okay so I got my game running stable without an ENB, and yes my steam is installed on another drive.

Then the issue is either you have the < Shift-Enter > key combo already assigned to something else, or your install of ENB is faulty. If you have problems, you should be able to uninstall ENB without needing to do anything to your stable game setup.

 

I already pointed you to the relevant information in the "Troubleshooting" guide. It includes some additional clarifications to the install instructions, including the warning that Win10 is not the best environment for ENB. It can work with it, but the author does not support it on Win10 as he has not migrated to that OS. (Neither have I.) Without more specific information as to your problems, that is the best help I can offer at the moment.

 

Edit: One more thought. CTDs are usually creating a "Windows Error Message". Please see the "Windows Error Messages" section of the wiki "How to read most Bethesda game error logs" article.

so Im doing a fresh install of new vegas over to my C: drive currently, and from there im going to add an ENB + wrapper. Also how do you change the hotkey instead of using shift-enter so I can see if that hotkey was already in use for something else which might've caused the crashing?

alright so, I did everything you said fresh install, the works. I hit shift + enter and the game STILL crashes!!!!!! wtf

i've changed my key configs as well, still causing it to crash.

so here is the default ini

[iNPUT]

KeyCombination=16

KeyUseEffect=123

KeyFPSLimit=36

KeyShowFPS=106

KeyScreenshot=45

KeyEditor=13

KeyFreeVRAM=116

so wtf its fixed now. I waited for the yellow font saying "shift-enter" and then it worked.... im confused.

Well, if it's working now then be happy and enjoy the game.

 

As for why it is working now, I can only guess it's because the last thing you report doing was changing key configs but it was still crashing and then it wasn't. That implies you at least restarted the game between the two events. Presumably that gave something that changed a chance to register that it hadn't had time to do before. But who really knows?
