ENB problems on NVidia Card, please help.

Hello,
I am fairly new to the world of ENB's and am having extreme difficulty in getting them to work properly. Whenever I load a save game, immediately after i hit yes, the game crashes. I can load a new game, but the moment I step into the load door, or try to open my map, the game crashes yet again. I'm on Original skyrim, not skyrim SE.

Here is a list of the steps I've taken, to no avail

-Gotten rid of all my mods to make sure there are no mod conflicts, other than the mods the ENB page said it needed(Specifically, I'm trying to use Poupouri ENBs - Extended, Morningstar edition)
-Deleted and re-downloaded Skyrim
-Got rid of GeForce Experience
-Changed setting in the Enblocal.ini to forum/mod specifications
-Changed settings in skyrimprefs.ini to forum/mod specifications
-Watched countless videos on ENB set up
-Read at least 50 different forums on how to troubleshoot ENB's

I've tried to the different things people have suggested and am still stuck. I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, and 16gb of DDR4 ram. I'd love to use an ENB as they make the game look wonderful. If anyone has any suggestions, please, I'm all ears, or if my graphics card simply is not compatible, then someone please tell me so I can strop stressing over trying to get this to work. I await your advice, thank you.

Re: ENB problems on NVidia Card, please help.

What operating system? Have you installed DirectX 9.0c runtime libraries from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=8109?

Also, please post your enblocal.ini.

Re: ENB problems on NVidia Card, please help.

Yes, run the DirectX installer to install it.

As for your enblocal.ini, run the VRamSizeTest tool (http://enbdev.com/download_vramsizetest.htm) to find the amount VideoMemorySizeMb for your system.

Other than that, try these setting for other [ENGINE] parameters:

Code: Select all

ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=true
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=false
ReservedMemorySizeMb=64
EnableCompression=false
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false
Also, I'm not sure whether it makes any difference but better set InitProxyFunctions to false under [PROXY] parameters.

(Moved your post, tapioks, you probably meant to reply to the guy experiencing flickering in SSE.)

Re: ENB problems on NVidia Card, please help.

I bet your UseDefferedRendering=true setting is causing the crash because I have the exact same problem with a nvidia 980GTX and 8GB VRAM.

When I set that to false, it fixes it... My question is, what am I missing by disabling it and is it worth trying to enable it.

Re: ENB problems on NVidia Card, please help.

You're missing many important ENB features if you have it disabled, so yes, you should definitely try to solve the issue.

If the game crashes with deferred rendering enabled... Hardware antialising is completely incompatible with it so double-check that you're not forcing AA in the Nvidia Control Panel and it's disabled in the game's options (iMultiSample=0).
