BZ2 with ENB Series

[General BlackDragon]

ok all i see in the zips is a dll, an ini file, and some text files.

should i try to use the enb tuner?

or how do i adjust things? in the ini?

[Nielk1]

All the presets come with an EXE, some of the EXEs tweaked slightly in how they work. Best bet is to get the one with the latest date as it most likely has most of the features intact for whatever game it is for.

Anyone find a way to make this not effect the HUD layer?

I'm getting a missing file error (d3dx9_40.dll) and then an AV. I downloaded a DLL and then it AV'd, so I'm guessing my PC doesn't support it. Correct?

When I start bz I get this:

It appears that my computer does not like 'd3d9.dll'

[Nielk1]

Set it to be toggled on by key and start off if you can.

Download the full DirectX Redist installer, as linked in the first page of changelog.txt. BZ2 installs what it needs to use. You're running an app that needs something else. You can get either the web (online) or offline installer; just use those to update all DX9 dlls.

I get the same AV as Russian Roulette.

[Purplehaze]

Agreed. im getting the directx9 upgrade now, Ill see if it works now.

[Purplehaze]

Hmm, Well when I turn on the update it works, But the problem is that I am getting a bunch of white boxes when i toggle on/off, The problem in the main menu is that your cursor goes into tile like you background, bascially, I have to turn off the scoreboard, and then turn on the enhancement, Turn on the scoreboard again, also my regular 20 fps is horrid, Ill have to config it.


EDIT: Anyone got the config down, Everytime I think I have it right i get a white screen when i turn it on

[Tempest Storm]

I'm not sure what some of these issues are, although since you all are most likely working off of a different version of ENB that I originally started tweaking there may be settings in the version you have that BZ2 doesn't like. Probably best off to turn all of the effects off at first and then work out each one individually until it functions the way you want it to. Also make sure the effect does not overlay itself on startup as that may be the cause of some AVs. (The effects are overlayed over the game and i have found BZ2 to crash on startup numerous times when a program that uses an overlay is active at the time) All of those settings can be found in the enbseries.ini file.

The settings I am using are nowhere near perfect but I find it to be a large improvment IMO, with the right tweaking it can probably look tons better. If you wanna tweak the settings for yourself do a bit of research on the documentation on the website. Learn what the functions do and how to tweak them appropriately, its not a thing you just install and run and then BZ2 will look pretty. That aside though, if you guys want shaders and all that cool stuff in BZ2 this is probably your best shot ATM.

lies. that second pic is of far cry, just with similar terrain.
