SkyrimUpscaler ENB Test Build 05

Fixed some potential crashes 

Fixed changing settings in-game not getting saved

INSTALLATION

  1. Install as any other SKSE plugin, using MO2 or Vetex would be the best way.
  2. Turn off TAA and DOF, anything that will blur the input for upscalers must be turned off.
  3. Turn off ENB Edge AA and DOF (If you play at high enough resolution you can still try to use ENB's DOF, but if you can't stand the jittery then turn it off).
  4. Press END in the game to open the menu for upscalers.
  5. (Optional) Install Reshade for DOF and other effects, since it applies its effects after the upscaling. I recommand the CinematicDOF with aperture set to 12-15, and focal length around 90,  and near plane max blur 0.2.
  6. (Optional) Use SSE ReShade Helper to make DOF not affect UI.

IMPORTANT: Since I no longer include a SSEDisplayTweaks.ini, you need to open your own SSEDisplayTweaks.ini and set Fullscreen = false and BorderlessUpscale = false. Remember to remove the # before them or they won't take effect.

If you are not using SSE Display Tweaks, set bFull Screen = 0 in SkyrimPrefs.ini

There are two known conflics, one is detection meter, you can solve it by updating DM to v17.

The other one is Improved Camera, you can solve the conflic by editing its ini, set its menu mode to 0. 

Comments

Tuning in to say I'm having a blast running ENBs at higher FPS, will definitely report any issues i run into to help get this mod to the public

Jacob

I wanted to see if anyone else has had a strange sparkly sky effect?

Kyle Richardson

hello, i was wondering how i can get the depth of field setting in cinematic to focus on my character and not be mouse driven?

Thomas Frandsen

The game runs at 1200x800 doesn't means the textures should be 1K, cuz the final output is still full size, DLSS construct it using multiple frames. If you switch to 1K textures, you'll most definitely notice the degradation of texture quality.

PureDark

Hi, PureDark.Using this masterpiece for like 2 weeks and having no issues at all. Just one thing I wanted to clarify. My modlist has tons of 2K textures and consuming almost all of my 8GB VRAM.My monitor is WQHD, and running Upscaler at "Balanced" setting. In this situation, input resolution is like 1200*800, so optimizing the textures to 1K would reduce VRAM usage with minimum quality drop, is that right?

Rontarun

Do I need any other requirements? Dlss seems to be messing with the bottom of my screen while fsr works fine.

Keita

Link discord to your patreon account, then you'll auto join the server

PureDark

I don't think that's normal, FSR2 has only minor ghosting in my test. If you see heavy ghosting it's not expected behavior. Contact me on discord to do some test if you wish to resolve this, my id: PureDark#0391

PureDark

Running a 1660Ti so really hoping to utilize the FSR2 or XeSS without all of the ghosting and motion blur looking stuff. Appreciate all the the work you're doing here but without an RTX card I feel like I can't get it to work without it looking like motion trails. Also crazy fragments and stuff. Using it with PI-CHO Hyper

mudkyp

modlist btw https://modwat.ch/u/renpls

Ren

any suggestions on what cpu heavy mods to remove im getting +15 fps indoors but in cities im still getting 30-45fps, although it is alot smoother now. running on a 4080

Ren

Hey how can i get in to the discord?

Barış Bahadır Özcan

It would have nothing to do with upscaler, it cares not about the content.

PureDark

I get massive framedrops when looking at water- like 30 fps loss. Using simplicity of sea with cathedral water textures

TroubledMammal

Did you read the part where it says how to make the game not run at fullscreen mode? The game can't be in fullscreen mode or it wll only have 1FPS.

PureDark

nvm was a pebkac! Seems to work nicely now with very limited testing! Had issues with ssedisplays and a rogue copy of my prefs being loaded. Once I fixed those upscaling worked!

ELM

Does anyone use PI-CHO here? I've been using Rudy and I decided to try out PI-CHO and I noticed a huge drop in quality. I'm wondering if anyone might know what is turned on that is not playing well with DLSS. Edge, DOF and TA are off already.

Kyle Richardson

Works amazing, thank you so much for your hard work!

Enemy Turf

Because you can't. This workaround requires the game to restart if you want to change render resolution.

PureDark

I can't seem to be able to adjust the quality level in game now. What might be causing this?

Kyle Richardson

It got taken down for including dlls from Nvidia/AMD/Intel, might just host them on github or link directly to other source where you can download them yourself.

PureDark

Upscaler base plugin is no longer on the nexus?

Arthellion DM

Don't play in fullscreen mode. I have very specifically instruction on this.

PureDark

No need for that, the NG version got updated to 17, you can just update.

PureDark

Hello, once I installed the mod I can't go past the main menu: it just lags too much. I have a 3070ti

Francesco

What is the ReShade dxgi.dll fix

Kyle Richardson

3090 - overall 10-25 extra FPS everywhere, with some exteriors and interiors an extra 30- 40 FPS!? Had the black screen at launch because I skipped the instructions that said to ditch detection meter 1.6 in favor of 1.7 - I wasn't expecting such a boost and really wouldnt have believed this if I didn't see it myself. thank you - strong work

Aaron Stauffer

Anyone got this working with Wildlander? I tried but kept running into issues! :(

Aleksis Tanbergs

I think I fixed it, had to make SSE modifications

Kyle Richardson

Just joined and downloaded, I seem to get a black screen with the music playing in the background. Thoughts?

Kyle Richardson

The one on nexusmods is based on DRS, and this one uses a very different approach, the intro is not shown on the screen, you just need to wait it out.

PureDark

When installing this mod with Enderal, the main menu is black and the steam fps counter slowly turns into a blur of all the frames before it. When entering into the game it works fine though. Works on the nexus version.

Lars-Christian Selland

this is some voodoo black magic. +5-10 fps running Elysium Remastered on a 3060 @1080p

Jon Medders

im asking my self the same question

Trung Bui

Okay got it working. I'm seeing barely any fps increase though. Did I do something wrong? Followed your installation instructions step by step.

Justin Pulaski

RTX 3070 AE build 1.6.640 ENB 0.488 Working flawless!!

StuardBr

Then just contact me on discord PureDark#0391

PureDark

It didn't fix it

Storm trooper

Hello again, Well ummm yes I remove the # and still the same, black screen

Storm trooper

Yes you keep your resolution the same as your monitor resolution, and change quality levels in the ini. Don't set resolution that exceeds your monitor resolution. And I am not sure what you mean by the noise part, maybe contact me on discord and show me some clips. ID: PureDark#0391

PureDark

This mod doesn't need ShaderTools or SSE Parallax Shader Fix, can you try running without that mod and see if there still blurry. And tbh some blurry on movement is expected for upscalers, but it shouldn't be very noticeable. And what upscaler are you using? FSR2 is known to be less good than DLSS.

PureDark

Hello , im a complete noob at this , so do I set the native resolution through display tweaks to 1080p(Native Monitor Resolution) and it up scales this from the set resolution to presets namely quality , balanced , etc? Is that how it works ? I changed the resolution in display tweaks 1080 to 1440 and used quality preset on DLSS and while it was on 1440 it looked much better but in both I see weird noise like thing over everything. Sorry if it is a very noob question but I got no idea Also is this compatible with eFPS?

Amitrasudan Mishra

First of all, thank you PureDark for your outstanding work ! I'm more than happy to support your project as a Skyrim enthousiast. Just to let the other knows that I tried this version of ENB Skyrim upscaler on 1.6.640 with SSE Parallax Shader Fix v1.01 (BETA) for 1.6.xxx Updated, but I got the error message that SSES shadertools.dll is only compatible with versions prior to 1.6.629. So it does not seem the nexus version of SE Parallax Shader 1.01 have been updated yet. Game's running, but with a strange blurry effect on movement, so I guess it's just the mod not working as intended because of the version incompatibility.

Eléate

hey did you ever get it fixed im having the same problem

Enclave25

Hello, I have installed SSE Display Tweaks, put fullscreen to false, BorderlessUpscale to false and when I open the game it just stay black screen, I tried without display tweaks, modifying skyrimprefs bfull screen=0 and nothing, still black screen

Storm trooper

Why? I've answered this multiple times, instead of playing at 1440P while having the game rendering at 720P, then streching it to 4k, you should just use ultra performance mode which upscales 720P directly to 4k In both cases the game will be rendering at 720P, but the latter will look much better than you stretch 1440P to 4K

PureDark

Can you reproduce it in vanilla

PureDark

is there anything i can do to fullscreen in 2k?

gurukof

i gain about 10-11 fps on 4k Beautiful... one question if i may... when i switch to 2k i can only get it to work on windowed mode which i dont like

gurukof

hi, am i the only one that lost the crosshair? is there a solution?

Markus

Tried on a huge modpack (TPF DE) expecting crashes but seems to be working well with dlss quality! Gone from 50-60 fps to around 90ish!

Hein

Check Documents>My Games>SSE>SKSE should be in there.

Quantum Toaster

Hi PureDark! I encountered a CTD issue with TestBuild5 installed, could you tell me where I can find SkyrimUpscaler.log? I am sure it will help solve my problem.

Geoge OMG

I need the log, SkyrimUpscaler.log, it's in your documents where all the skse logs are.

PureDark

Hi my game CTD when using this mod, using displaytweaks or not. the ini Fullscreen is set to 0, i turned off any AA and DOF. It crashes when i reach the main menu.

Tsukifox

Search for [OSD] in SSEDisplayTweaks.ini

PureDark

how can i disable the FPS and VRAM usage showing in left-up corner?

pptrain

well it works for most people so there must be something you are setting incorrectly, maybe just contact me on discord.

PureDark

This one crashes the game on start, with ENB and DLAA initially enabled. The one from Nexus works well with ENB in DLAA mode without any issues. Wanted to test DLSS with ENB, but seems to be an issue still. Will continue using the old version in DLAA mode.

reanor

In the intro there's nothing shown to screen so if some ReShade effects are applyting to the empty screenbuffer it could go wrong, but once you are in the main menu it should be fine.

PureDark

First is to make sure if you are not getting CPU bound, but another way to test would be seriously tank your GPU, just open enbseries.ini, search under [SSAO_SSIL], set ResolutionScale to 1.0, if you get much less FPS, then turn on upscaler to see if it helps. If it does, then you were getting CPU bound.

PureDark

I just installed this mod and I'm getting seizure inducing color explosions all over my screen on the main menu. I made sure to follow every step on the install, so I'm not sure what's causing it

Alberto Montalvo

is the upscaler compatible with 1.6.3.5.3. i haven't gotten any fps boosts whatever i do, i can open the gui and all the effects of the upscaler are visible however i dont get any fps boosts. im using a 3060

FilthyAshRusher

Search on nexusmods, it should be there I don't recall the name

PureDark

Where is the ReShade dxgi.dll fix?

MayDayCray

I sent you a friend request on Discord Puredark my name on Discord is bman5722#9408

john lee

Intro isn't visible, if everything else worked fine when you entered main menu then it's working, if not you should try it on a new MO2 profile to test if it works with vanilla.

PureDark

Hey, i'm having that issue: I set bfullscreen to = 0 in the MO2 Ini edit but I still just get stuck on a black screen and then the main menu screen suddenly appear after loading. One question: any of these mods have compatibility issues with Upscaler ?? https://imgur.com/TGJVVc6

Warlogs

It's definitely not working if there's any pixelation, contact me on discord and I'll take a look at your issues. ID: PureDark#0391

PureDark

确实就是懒得自己做视频,有空我问一下Mern然后把他的视频搬到B站我自己的频道里好了。 improved camera本身可以兼容,但是如果你不禁用它的菜单的话(menu mode=1或者=2)都会造成CTD,只有设置menu mode=0,禁用菜单才能避免,当然其实我已经做过一些调整了,在部分电脑上不会CTD,但是一部分人还是反馈有问题,所以还是建议设置成0. Cinematic DOF可能确实还是比较消耗性能的,如果你能接受ENB的DOF造成的背景闪烁,那就没问题。

PureDark

目前這個版本對我來說可以流暢玩了,難以想像這只是面對ENB的暫時對策。不過樓上老哥說的感覺也沒錯,中文方面好像缺乏一點宣傳?身為中國人的我卻是因為Mern的影片才知道的lol。 另外我想請教一個問題,improved camera跟Upscaler會有什麼相容性問題啊?(已經照著文中所說的那樣設置了, 只是想多了解一點資訊。) 最後報告一下DOF的問題,使用cinematic DOF幀數直接下降了15幀不止,不曉得這是否是正常情況?(我的電腦配置偏低, i3-9100f + RX570) 如果是的話,我還是先回去用ENB的DOF好了。

lyc6512

Never mind now the game just CTDs on launch it ran once now it won’t start lol

john lee

Ok I think I managed to get the mod working however now around the edges of everything it’s very pixelated and it looks like the games resolution is lowered I’m playing the game at 4K on an rtx 4090 is there anything I can do to reduce the pixelation?

john lee

I set bfullscreen to = 0 in the MO2 Ini edit but I still just get stuck on a black screen and the game won’t start all my other mods are working are there some requirements for this mod? Maybe there is a requirement that I am missing

john lee

Already had sse display tweaks installed, so maybe I disabled it or something within the ini file. Is it because I capped my fps to 70 in bethini?

Noor Barnes

This only change the resolution the game was rendering at then upscale, it didn't do anything else to the game itself and shouldn't change its behavior, check if you appied HAVOK physics fix for high framerate. It can happen if you got higher framerates. The fix was included in SSE Display Tweaks if you installed it.

PureDark

No, you keep the resolution the same as what you want to play at. You can set the quality levels in the ini, choose between quality, balanced and performance.

PureDark

So, I'm getting some super strange issues with this installed. When I enter many Inns, I hear a banging noise like an object is clattering against something. It's constant. And in Rorikstead's inn, I faced a weird issue where I kept getting teleported around the place.

Noor Barnes

Am I supposed to lower my resolution for this to boost my fps? im playing on 1920x1080p

u got pranked

Don't use something like BethINI to set that, just use the ini editor in MO2 to set bFull Screen=0

PureDark

不用,直接用MO2装就能用了

PureDark

Hi I installed this using MO2 I’m not using SSEdisplay tweaks set bfullscreen = 0 in Skyrim prefs.ini when I start SKSE the game just goes to a black screen and stays there it doesn’t CTD whenever you get the chance would love help with this thanks

john lee

有个问题请教一下哈,我看N网上那个非ENB版本的安装需要ShaderTools Updated和Upscaler Base Plugin,咱们这个ENB版也需要安装这个吗?

konggee

ok ill do that rn

Edward Vasquez

If you have link to discord on patreon you should auto join my discord server and I'll help you solve the issues, or you can contact me directly, id: PureDark#0391

PureDark

你确定是这个mod导致的吗,可以测试一下禁用这个mod再进地牢看看,如果确定是就再在Discord(ID:PureDark#0391)或者QQ(436032598)上找我

PureDark

So i have an issue my game is loading and not crashing which is good but for some reason in the main menu i cant click anything and the main dragon logo disappears. I'm not sure why its happening? Could you possibly help.

Edward Vasquez

遇到一个问题,在破晓任务中进入地牢稳定跳出,提示Unhandled native exception occurred at 0x0 on thread 1172!

LEOJJ

Is your resolution set in SSEDisplayTweak or SkyrimPrefs.ini larger than your monitor resolution?

PureDark

Did I include the wrong DLSS dll in this file? Sorry I was using SDK DLL for testing, you can get rid of this by downloading the newest DLSS dll from techpowerup. Or I'll update this zip very soon.

PureDark

hey i need some help im currently using the INI file from the third version but its stretching my screen over to my second monitor

MPG

Is there a way to play without the watermark at the bottom?

Harvey Wu

yea getting the same issue idk what to do

Kevin Roca

hey i maybe be a little stupid i think i did all the steps, but my when i open the game on the main menu. my game is frozen, i cant move my mouse. i see the icons but i cant move my mouse or anything

Jacobi Hughes

@PureDark, Test Builds 3-5 work perfectly. I have over 500 mods and the upscaler has allowed me to play at a better resolution with better performance.

BlazenMusic20

This is awesome! Thank you!

Jason Rideout

Setting bFull Screen=0 in the SkyrimPrefs.ini, just edit it in MO2 or directly

PureDark

nvm, fixed it myself, just need to set DLSS as default on in file, I just overlooked that DLSS was option 0 not 1. Keeping if somebody will get same issue

nicklastrange

my skyrim is black screening on startup with this installed

Yummy Squirts

Hey, I try to use the upscaler with ENB on 1440p (3440x1440) using my RTX3060 12GB and DLSS, but only part of the screen is playable and in not so good quality, when I change to FSR2, the screen is full but it produces strange shadowing on character. Anything that maybe I did wrong? Tried to follow ur installation guide + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqzf0pAn3O4

nicklastrange

Skyrim has never performed this good under any circumstance. In places where fps tanks hard I used to cringe, now I just laugh and laugh as I run through at 120 fps. You are a genius bro. Thanks!

Kelticfury

经过迭代了了一定版本,已经相对比较稳定了,目前还有魔法菜单里特效显示不对,还有部分菜单会有分辨率低的小问题

PureDark

好像完美运行,没感受到有啥bug,是俺的错觉的吗

konggee

You don't change your resolution, you set the quality level in the included ini, like any other AAA game that has DLSS built-in, you can choose from Performance to Quality, if you want to upscale from 1080P to 1440P, you just use Quality mode. Right now I don't actually have a place to show the current render resolution, but motion scale happens to be the same as render resolution, you can use that as the indicator, just press END to open the window.

PureDark

So... I just downloaded the mod, it's working but, I'm cofused about how do I setup what resolution to play and what resolution to upscale to? I mean, I have my resolution on SSE Display Tweaks 2560x1440 wich is my monitor resolution but I thought the idea was to have it playing on 1080 so I can upscale back to 1440 for example. How do I check if that's what's happening?

Main Core

hey tnx this worked for me!

Giancarlo Toledo

I got it to work by placing the upscaler inside the overwrite folder!

Dakota Cave

Random question, would this work with modpacks? I CTD on startup using the Nolvus mod pack.

Dakota Cave

Typical symptom of running at fullscreen mode, can you check your SkyrimPrefs.ini, did you set your bFull Screen=0?

PureDark

what does the same means, you can't get it working?

PureDark

Why is frame rates in main menu matters though

PureDark

actually for this version you don't need the dependency on nexusmods, and you don't need to change resolution, just use your native resolution and change the quality level in the included ini.

PureDark

What is running like potato supposed to look like? It's not expected behaviour so you can dm me the screenshot and the log.

PureDark

It could be you are getting CPU bound, in that case best gain you can get is that you can now use more GPU heavy mod without losing FPS, but lowering the GPU load won't help with CPU load.

PureDark

Please provide more info via dm. Like how is it 'not working', and the log.

PureDark

Don't intall the one on nexusmod if you are using ENB, install the zip you download from here.

PureDark

Yeah same lol I wonder what it is

Edgardo Morin Jr

After installing. main menu frame rates drops badly. About only 1-2 fps.

bot dagger

Do you need to install the upscaler base plugin and its dependencies on Nexus for this to work? Do I need to manually turn down my resolution in Skyrim ini or is it automated? Don't seem to get any performance boost from this and I'm now trying to understand if I need to do something differently.

Mattias K

My game starts running like a potato when I enable this, when i load a save the screen is basically black, issue is gone when this is disabled

snp123

Trying with ENB and the DLSS setting, and so far I'm not noticing any FPS boost. Besides quality setting, are there other settings to tweak to boost FPS?

fractalbase

Game runs, but not playable. Installed this and the Nexus mod and I get this: https://imgur.com/a/VzrQZ05

Matt LoC

I have the same problem and the fix is not working

snp123

so i followed merns video guide on how to install this version and i keep getting a black screen and then it CTD on startup help would be very appreciated Edit:i fixed it Detction meter was causing the problem. My bad shouldve tried that.

Succmymeme69

I have the same problem as chaotic, but for me that fix doesn't seem to work

Dorian

For me it loads, the music is playing but my screen is black. Fixed it by deactivating VSync. The problem it mentioned on SSE Display Tweaks site.

chaoticzocker

it's 4 AM here and I am going to sleep very soon, you can dm me and send me the log, I'll read them when I get up and see if I can figure out what's wrong

PureDark

it's 4 AM here and I am going to sleep very soon, you can dm me and send me the log, I'll read them when I get up and see if I can figure out what's wrong

PureDark

Hi! Tks for the great mod. I'm currently trying to use the ENB version (first time), and it CTDs on startup. Sending you the SkyrimUpscaler.log and the NetScriptFramework also, since it always generates the same error. Tried with SSEDisplayTweaks, without it, and with the Test03 version. All of them gives CTD (SkyrimUpscaler.dll+9026D).

José Guilherme Trevisan Alves

Good afternoon! I have installed this and the nexus version, but my game crashes on startup, and points to the SkyrimUpscaler.dll. I tried watching Merns new guide closely to see if I was missing something, but its still not launching. I have a 2060 Super, and Ryzen 3700x, and I have the ray tracing Reshade shaders installed if that matters at all. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Chiberia

I know exactly what's wrong, proton or dxvk didn't implement any API related to resource sharing, although they actually can cuz both DX11 and DX12 are using vulkan under the hood. Right now only DLSS can work since it's natively dx11 implementation, but not FSR2 and XeSS since they require dx11&dx12 interop.

PureDark

I tried this with the latest Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge profile that fixed some D3D12 issues with the new Witcher 3 update, but all the modes crash after about 1 second, though XeSS takes about 3 seconds and I see a bit of the ENB text. Here is the log if it might show anything interesting: https://pastebin.com/PP2ywExa. I suspect that Proton uses only DXVK as it only expects D3D11 calls, though it could use VKD3D for D3D12. I am using "DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_1 gamemoderun %command%" in the launch options. This is a pretty niche issue, though it would be useful for modded SSE on the Steam Deck if someone in that community could poke the right things into place.

mexicanhalloween .

是RTX卡吗

PureDark

首页卡死100%是你跑在全屏模式了,你应该改SkyrimPrefs.ini,如果你用MO2你应该直接在MO2里改,最好就是直接用SSEDisplayTweaks, 然后设置Fullscreen=false,记得把前面的#注释号删掉

PureDark

目前我使用的情况,是无论用哪个版本,都会在游戏首页卡死,无响应,设置则按照你文章中所写的那样已经进行了修改

KOkzsize

我是N卡,但用dlss会黑屏,fsr正常

Rex

I didn't really changed anything related to rendering though, can you tell me what's your specs and what upscaler you are using? Then maybe show me the log via dm.

PureDark

On test build 4, I didn't see any issues and the mod was really stable for me at 3440x1440, but on test build 5 I'm getting some ghosting around moving actors and load screens look pretty broken. Not complaining just wanted to bring to your attention.

foxnne

Just set the MenuMode in ImprovedCamera ini file to 0

Shashwat Sinha

Wow, Im getting fantastic results with this on my 9900K + 2080Ti!! Silkysmooth framerate at 60 fps everywhere!! I noticed that Im getting instant CTD when using Improved Camera but thats just a minor issue. Great great work!!

El Duderino

drop a newest reshade dxgi.dill in your game folder, it should be work。

YeJian Blancyan

has anyone been able to get detection meter functioning with this?

Ayeedrian

The last build was already incredibly stable on both of my systems. R5 3600+Rx 6800 and R7 5800x3d+3080 ti. The 6800 with fsr on balanced runs the Arisen modlist at a very playable 60fps average with certain large views or heavy rain in the whiterun plains dipping to 47 at 4k. The 3080 ti at 4k with DLSS quality runs anywhere from 95-144fps (my max refresh rate). Thanks for all your hard work! Increasing my donation.

Superpulaski97

If you are only using DLAA, probably you should use the version on nexusmods. And yeah as long as your render resolution is equal to the display resolution you can play in fullscreen mode.

PureDark

I use DLAA with ENB, without turning off full-screen in SSE display tweaks, and everything work good. Rtx 3060 ti Enb - Natural View tamriel

EzSk

Honestly this is getting really stable. Other than a few enb fx not being perfectly compatible, I'm playing with it and completely forgetting its on. It's literally free performance, while making my game look better. You've done an incredible job here. Can't wait to see what else you conjure up for this game, or take a break when this is done, well deserved. Thank you!
