dePog Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hey Guys, Been playing Skyrim for years. I've seen NPC's with black face bug and know how to fix it, but today my main character's face has gone black. Even if I start a new game the player's face is black on both males and females (so it isn't a player skin texture issue), and no matter what race I select. I have changed nothing in my load order. Yesterday I had no issues, saved game, went to bed. Today I start the game and "hey presto" my characters face is black. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dePog Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) OK, I think I may have resolved the problem. I have been using Project ENB for many years, but it was specifically tailored to work with the 0.221 version of the d3d9.dll file. I was running it with an updated version (0.291 I think). Reverting to the 0.221 version appears to have stopped the black face issue, but I will not be convinced until I have reinstalled all my previous mod list. Here's hoping ...... EDIT: Black face came back again even after reverting to 0.221 SOLUTION: Finally saw a post on Reddit where they mentioned that someone fixed their black face character by uninstalling Overwolf. So I uninstalled Overwolf and it appears that allows me to start using ENB again. They must play around with the same memory locations or something. Only taken me 5 days to find the answer, lol.

Grospolina Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ah, it's an overlay. ENB doesn't like those. I didn't know it could cause a black face on the PC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grospolina Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 What was the sollution on your Problem? I have the same Black Face Problem on my PC.The solution was to uninstall Overwolf, which is an overlay program that can add various widgets on top of your game. ENB doesn't play well with overlays. Here's my ENB checklist in case it's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
