Unable to install any ENB

Ok.  I've tried installing several ENBs.  

I can run the game fine without.  I follow the instructions to the letter.  Make all the necessary changes to all the required .ini files.  

 

Game loads to the menu.  I see the Boris dude's text saying the ENB info loaded.  Go load a game.  It crashes to the desktop.  Doesn't matter if I load a game or start a new game.  

I am not running any overlay software.  I am running a brand new nVidia Geforce 730.  I only installed the PhysX drivers and the video drivers.  I didn't install anything else.  I even disabled the Steam overlay.

System specs:

i7-6700

Geforce 730

16GB Ram

 

Not the greatest, but it shouldn't have any issues running an ENB for Skyrim...unless the video card just doesn't like the d3d9.dll...but I don't know enough to be sure.

Anyone got any ideas?

Install DirectX End User Runtime. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

 

After following the link it gives a download for directx_Jun2010_redist.exe, which asks you for a location to unpack the files. Give it a temporary location, then find the files that were unpacked and run the DXSETUP.exe. This is what actually installs the DirectX 9 components that ENB neets to start without crashing.

That was actually one of the first things I tried. :(

 

But I will try again.

 

I can run ENB on Fallout New Vegas tho.  It's just Skyrim.

Hmm... Come to think of it, it wouldn't even get to the loading screen without that fix.

 

Oh, wait. You said you loaded a game. is that a previous save? If so, try coc'ing to qasmoke first, then load the save.

Nope.  Crashed on loading screen.  Couldn't even load.  Didn't even get into game.  Would click Load.  Select any save game.  Start loading.  See the load screens.  *BOOM* CTD.

 

If I remove the ENB files...game loads fine.

Sural, make sure you dont have a dll file from a previous ENB preset that is causing trouble. Use an ENB manager or look for it manually

I used the one from the ENB I downloaded.  Every time I tried an ENB I would would start with no ENB files in the Skyrim folder.

 

JUST to be sure, I checked against that list...and none of those items are there.  But every time I put any Skyrim ENB in...it crashes  :/

 

I could do it on my old computer with no problem.  I ran Tetrachromatic without any issues..  I had an AMD 350 with 8GB RAM and a GeForce 640 tho.  

I have more RAM and, better video card...and obviously I run an intel chip instead of AMD...so really can't figure out why this isn't working.

I haven't run an intel chip since I had a Pentium 2 350 chip.  haha

so you got to the main menu, clicked on a save in order to load it, it started to load, then crashed. Correct? Did you try a new game?

Yep.  Same thing. Started loading then crashed.  Never completed loading.

If when removing ENB skyrim works and when installing it (any) crashes it its obviously a dll or library issue related with ENB.

 

Unless.... You are using a enblocal.ini with the weirdest settings... but this is just trying to think something different, my bet would be on my previous assumption

 

Either a library is missing, a dll is doing something that it shouldnt or... you are missing a step on the configuration for the ENB preset (yes, yes, i know you said you did all the steps but you would be suprise how many times we hear this and yet...)

Sorry for poiting out something really stupid, but if you are using Mod Organizer, you do know that the skyrim.ini and prefs are located insilde the profile folder in mod organizer, right?

I dunno what to say.  

I use NMM.  I don't use it to install an ENB tho.  I never have.  I always install them manually.  I follow the instructions to the letter.  Mostly because I don't want to mess things up.  I compare everything to make sure I haven't made any typos before I save.  I copy over exactly what the instructions say to copy.   I do exactly what the instructions tell me to do.  The last ENB I used on my old computer is Tetrachromatic and it worked perfectly.  I have tried this one, and multiple others.  Following the instructions to the letter.  All with the same results.

 

First thing I did when I installed Skyrim on this computer before I put ANY mods in was put Tetrachromatic in.  Again, following instructions to the letter.  Crashed before I could even get to the opening (prisoner on cart sequence) So either this video card just flat out doesn't like ENBs, or I am missing something so ridiculous...  haha

I use nmm also, and I have tetrachromatic installed. I used nmm to install it, so perhaps try it that way.

It's getting to the point it doesn't even matter.  I've been fighting with it for several days now.  I can only get it running without an ENB...WHen I do get it running...I can play for only short bursts no matter what I do.  I keep getting memory allocation crashes.  I've done every possible fix I've googled.

I think between this, the ENB issue, and the animation issue I have with male characters, I think it's about time I just give up on Skyrim and move on to other games.  I spend more time getting annoyed then actually doing anything productive

Yeah, i know what you mean. It happened to me, i got so frustrated by random CTDs and mods not working as they should i needed a 6 month break before trying again.

But then, i made things work again and i kept playing it

I did not use the ini listed in the second link, as I use these values:

 

 

 

[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048
 
[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
EnableDiagnostics=1
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1280
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256

 
I have tried various DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB, but nothing makes a difference.  1280 was just the last one I tried.

 

I have lot of crashes due to Memory Allocation as well.  Fighting with that.  Problem is...a lot of the fixes deal with already having an ENB, so I have few routes.

 

I think I am just going to uninstall all my mods yet again...delete Skyrim, and reinstall fresh...again.  This is getting old.  haha

DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1280 ???

 

How does you game even starts? 

 

All that does is gives a larger amount of memory allocation.  It doesn't seem to help much for anything tho.  I had only just changed it.  Doesn't matter tho.  I am uninstalling all my mods as we speak.  After that the game is getting uninstalled and I will reinstall.

OK.  Got it installed.  No mods installed whatsoever.  Clean setup.  Nothing installed...Not even SKSE.  Going to try an ENB first and see what happens

Installed and Tetrachromatic installed over Vanilla Skyrim.  No mods.  Only SKSE installed.  Launching.  *crossing fingers*

OK.  Well...Update.  I got the ENB working...but the frame rate is just horrid.  I dunno how to fix that.  I kinda figured with my build I should get better then 5fps...so not sure all that effort was really worth it now.  HAHAHAH

Also think some or most of my crashes may have been because I inadvertently installed some 4k texture mods.  I don't think my video card likes those...so this time I am making sure I *DON'T* install any.  haha
