ENB Evolved glitch; strange, glowing, reflective sphere indoors.

[Lyyti]

I do hope that this is the correct section.

 

So recently, I've been trying out ENB series settings. I did get it to work, with the SkyRealism - ENB Evolved version.

 

Now as a precursor to this problem, I did catch a hint of this strange sphere while testing it out. Shift + F12 is the key combination to enable and disable ENB Evolved, which was also my hotkey for taking a screenshot using Steam.

This resulted in something of a spam of screenshots, so I changed the screenshot hotkey. However, I did notice in the screenshots that there seemed to be a strange sphere that appeared for a very very short period, only a frame or two, when I switched between on and off.

 

 

So, that already seemed to have existed. My first impression was that it was a cute effect to show when ENB is being disabled or re-enabled, but my current hypothesis is that it's a very strange effect that ENB causes when it's not entirely loaded. The first impression doesn't really make sense, since it is nigh undetectable without looking very closely.

 

So, after changing to the 'vibrant' color scheme, I started playing around in Skyrim. It worked perfectly outdoors. Eventually, I got to a town and entered a building.

After a load, I entered the building and the sphere was back, but it did not disappear immediately; it seems to be permanent.

 

It seems to react to light by reflecting it on either side of itself, to make a sort of 'sun flare' effect with everything.

It also seems to reflect the position of objects in the game world. Basically, it seems as if the original render is wrapped up in a sphere and overlayed onto my vision. I doubt that it's actually processing any sort of proper reflection, though it definitely gives that visual effect.

Oddly, It also seems to blur the environment behind it, despite the fact that I have disabled DoF. It may be possible that excessive bloom may make things look blurry, but that's probably not the case.

 

There's no stuttering or any sort of framerate hit. It just constantly occupies my vision.

 

This effect is present in every indoor area I've visited so far: houses in Rorikstead and the throneroom in Dragonsreach. I don't know if it affects caves/dungeons or not.

 

Does anyone know what could be causing this to only happen indoors, and how could I go about fixing it?

I have found absolutely no mention of it via Google, so it would also be interesting to know if anyone else has encountered a similar issue.

 

TL;DR

I get a very very weird graphical effect, only when indoors. It doesn't cause any performance issues; it just obscures the screen. I believe that it may be caused by ENB not fully loading, for some reason.

I have the same exact problem. Hopefully someone posts a solution sometime soon.

Found the solution. Make sure you have the latest version of ENB series. I had v0.119 which was the problem. Make sure you download v0.149. That should do it. ENBSeries Skyrim Download Page

Interesting. I also had v0.119.

 

The strange effect also seems to be there with v0.132, but it goes away with v0.149!
