maximum effects. Climates of Tamriel + Realistic Lighting Overhaul. SweetFX SMAA + Lumasharpen. ENBSeries 0.241

a) edit your skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini located at your Documents/My Games/Skyrim:

highly recommended: ewi65's INI-files

but change fGamma to 1.2400 in skyrimprefs.ini to get my optic!


OR
Edit your skyrimprefs.ini and set the following values:

[General]
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1

[Display]
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bShadowsOnGrass=1
iMultiSample=0
bFXAAEnabled=0
iMaxAnisotropy=0
fGamma=1.2400

be carefull with mod handling tools like Mod Organizer, this tool will not use the skyrimprefs.ini in documents, it will load its own. edit these instead!

b) copy all the other files from my ENB to your Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim
Important! if you are using Realistic Sun for Climates of Tamriel and Vanilla by prod80 and have already installed it do NOT use the sunglare.dds from my files! do not overwrite prod80's sunglare.dds with my DATA/textures/sky/ClimatesofTamriel/sunglare.dds!


c) install Skyrim_Particle_Patch_for_ENB-All-In-One and Skyrim_Subsurface_Scattering_Patch_for_ENB from my optional files or from here


d) get d3d9.dll AND enbhost.exe (wrapper) from enbdev.com or my ENBSeries archive and copy them to Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim

ENBSeries v0.241 for V2.0c.241 / V2.0exp.241 / V2.1c.241 / V2.2c.241 / V2.3c.241 / NOVA V1.0c.241 / NOVA V1.1c.241

keep in mind: only the d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe from wrapperfolder, not overwrite all the files of RealVision!

alternatively you could use Injector-Version:
copy ENBInjector.exe, enbinjector.ini and enbseries.dll to your skyrimfolder instead of d3d9.dll (wrapper)
and don't fordet to adjust the enbinjector.ini:

this is mine, using SKSE:

---
[LIBRARY]
LibraryName=enbseries.dll

[TARGETPROCESS]
ProcessName0=skse_loader.exe
ProcessName1=SkyrimLauncher.exe
ProcessName2=tesv.exe
---

to start the game, first start injector.exe, then skse_loader.exe...


e) Set MSAA(Antialiasing) / SSAO(Ambient Occlusion) / FXAA(Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing) / AF(Anisotropic Filtering) to "off" in game settings AND to "Application-controlled" in videodriver!

Look here and here for Nvidia, for AMD it works similar. The ENB has it's own EdgeAA+FXAA, SSAO and AF, otherwise it would give you errors like "Hardware Antialiasing detected...Quality reduced..." ,decreased performance, invisible walls, flickering , ...

f) use this TOOL to correct settings in enblocal.ini according to your hardware
and as a base set VideoMemorySizeMb according to your VRAM, for example 2048 for 2GB graphicscard.
but for better performance i REALLY recommend to increase VideoMemorySizeMb, use this formula:
VideoMemorySizeMb = VRAM+RAM-2048 or VRAM+RAM/2, but the max. is 10240 !
