newerOVERVIEW:The next generation of Enhanced Shaders for Fallout New Vegas, built on ENBseries technology. Cutting-edge visual effects developed by Boris Vorontsov, including ambient occlusion, indirect lighting, depth of field, dynamic sun shadows, sun rays, and more — all carefully configured and tested by tapioks. Aims to be the most BALANCED and PLAYABLE ENBseries configuration available. Versions calibrated for Nevada Skies and Project Reality are also available.
**UPDATES IN VERSION ENB451:**- Simplified download file and folder structure
- Updated and clarified installation instructions
- Adjusted day/night detection curves
- Adjusted AO intensity
- Added controls for [PARTICLES], [FIRE], and [LIGHT EMITTERS]
INSTALLATION: 1) INSTALL ENHANCED SHADERS:- Copy all the files from the INSTALLATION FILES folder into your Fallout New Vegas root folder, where FalloutNV.exe is located.
- Do NOT Install the files into your Fallout NV 'Data' folder.
2) DOWNLOAD ENBSERIES:3) INSTALL ENBSERIES:- Extract the downloaded ZIP file. It contains two folders. Wrapper Version and Injector Version.
- From the Wrapper Version Folder, Copy ONLY the d3d9.dll file into your Fallout New Vegas root folder, where FalloutNV.exe Is located.
4) FALLOUT NV LAUNCHER SETTINGS:- DISABLE ANTIALIASING: ENBseries is not compatible with MSAA (Multisampling Antialiasing), which is the standard antialiasing option available from the Fallout New Vegas launcher. However, ENBseries includes its own AA, enabled by default in the enblocal.ini file.
- DISABLE WATER DISPLACEMENT Disable 'Water Displacement' in the Fallout New Vegas launcher settings. Leaving this enabled will cause severe visual artifacts with some water areas.
- ENABLE HDR: Enable HDR mode in the Fallout New Vegas Launcher.
5) INCOMPATIBILITY:- High Resolution Water Fog - Water Aliasing Fix
- LOD Flicker Fix - NVSE
- **NOTE:** LOD Flicker Fix NVSE "reverses" the game's depth buffer to use a range from 1 to 0 instead of from 0 to 1, while ENB's effects are not built to work with a reversed depth buffer, and there is no simple means to configure ENB to work with this. Thus: when both mods are used together you may just see a grey screen or something else instead of the game world.
- New Vegas Reloaded
- NOTE: New Vegas Reloaded is a standalone shader framework for Fallout: New Vegas, separate from ENB. While they may be technically compatible to some extent, it is generally not recommended to use them together.
- DXVK
- Weather Mods: Enhanced Shaders is calibrated for the vanilla Fallout: New Vegas weather system. This mod will still work with other weather mods, but the visuals may differ from what was intended, for better or worse. You might encounter overly dark nights or blown-out highlights during the day, etc.
WHAT ARE ENBSERIES AND ENHANCED SHADERS?ENBseries is a free graphics mod/tool being developed by Boris Vorontsov at
www.enbdev.comENBseries enables advanced, next-generation visual effects for both current and older DirectX9 PC games. Best known for his work on TES V: Skyrim, Boris has also created an enhanced version of this mod for the Fallout 3 / Fallout New Vegas engines. By design, ENBseries can be highly demanding on your system, yet it is endlessly customizable to fit your preferences and needs — those who love to tweak will discover a world of wonders!
Enhanced Shaders is a custom ENBseries preset for Fallout New Vegas. While ENBseries adds many effects and configuration options to the game, it doesn't automatically improve the visuals or make them more realistic out of the box. More bloom or higher color contrast doesn't equal greater realism. Enhanced Shaders aims to be the most BALANCED and PLAYABLE ENBseries configuration available. It strives for a realistic look that isn't overdone and performs well across all in-game scenarios—day, night, dungeons, and interiors. Enhanced Shaders also includes optional bonus effects such as sharpening, faux cel-shading, an 8-bit DOS effect, FXAA Injector suite, and more.
For those who may not know me, I've been doing this for a while, from the original
FNV Enhanced Shaders in 2010 and
SKYRIM ENHANCED SHADERS In 2011. Please upload screenshots to the gallery, and feel free to leave a question or comment!
