[NSFW] Problem with broken ENB after NVidia driver update

[Twycross448]

Hello, folks.

 

I'm sorry, but I need a bit of help, if possible.

 

I am running Win 10 Pro, and I updated the NVidia Drivers yesterday to version 364.51 (because of the optimizations for Far Cry Primal and Hitman) and after that, my Skyrim looks completely broken.

 

I have tested several things, and I can say that both a) going back to the previous drivers and disabling the ENB (via setting UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics to true in the enblocal.ini) fix the problem. Obviously, both solutions aren't really desirable. Sykrim without ENB just doesn't look as good, and going back to the old driver would have me lose the optimizations for Primal and Hitman...

 

Here is a screenshot of how it looks in the broken state (screenshot from inside the jail cell of Alternate Start - Live another Life):

 

 

And here, for comparison, is how it should look (different hair style, but the girl is the same otherwise - location is the Dragonsreach Dungeon):

 

 

I am using unkoENB with ENB binary 0.305, btw. I like this preset quite a bit, but it is sadly no longer maintained as far as I can tell.

 

So, anybody have any suggestion how I can get the ENB working again (or an alternative ENB that gives similar looks and that is known to work with the newest ENB binary and the newest NVidia drivers?)

Its looks like you have the very same problem i had myself while using bleak enb.

by changing this line in enblocal from EnableProxyLibrary=true to EnableProxyLibrary=false i did get rid of the discoloration.

 

while using amd it is maybe not related to nvidia drivers but all this happened to me after steam update.

Thank you for your input, Faceman.

 

Yes, I can confirm that if I disable the proxy dll, the graphics turn back to normal. Of course, since unkoENB actualy uses a proxy dll for some of its effects, I lose those, but it is certainly better than nothing. Many thanks. Now I know what causes the issue, so maybe I will find a fix for it.

 

Again, thank you.

You still might ask in ENB forum, they aren't as fast as here, but you'll get an answer and they should know

Thanks to this post here it is now confirmed the issue is related to steam: http://tetrodoxin.tumblr.com/post/140811936712/attention-skyrim-players

if there is a better solution is found maybe it is posted there.

Thank you for the additional info. I had already "fixed" my issue by copying over the d3d9_smaa.dll and its companion files (smaa.h, smaa.fx and injector.txt) from the popular RealVisionENB, which for some reason worked correctly, while the d3d9_smaa.dll from unkoENB produced the above error.

 

(My Steam Overlay was already disabled since that is a habit of mine. I always disable it on all games and only play in offline mode.)

 

So for now, it works for me again. Good to know though that cause has been identified now.
