21 november 2015: ShadowBoost 1.1.30.0 is released. This mod automatically adjusting shadow drawing distance according to frame rate, as requested. Download it here http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1822/





1 december 2015: published 0.284 binaries. Tried to reduce cache misses which are noticable at some locations with ENBoost installed.

16 november 2015: published 0.283 binaries.

15 november 2015: updated 0.282 binaries. Added fix for wrong present calls which leads to text displayed on the character face.

13 november 2015: published 0.282 binaries with workaround of Steam overlay bug without deleting GameRendererOverlay64.dll.

13 november 2015: published 0.281 binaries. To fix Steam overlay bug.

READ THIS CAREFULLY TO NOT ASK ALL THE SAME THINGS AGAIN ABOUT PROPER

CONFIGURATION OF THE ENBOOST:

VRamSizeTest DX11 tool reports maximal available video memory for the game, that huge

value really works because of video driver tricks, but at cost of performance because certain

amount of system memory (ram) is added to video memory (vram) and some page file

memory (swap file). For example if you have 1 Gb VRAM, 8 Gb RAM and VRamSizeTest tells

that you have 20000 Mb of video memory, this means 11 Gb (20-1-8) can be allocated on

the disk as swap file. Of course performance of disk i/o is very low and bad for SSD health,

so do not use any value above VRAM+RAM for VideoMemorySizeMb. Only if you want so much

to see the game at full quality and can't buy more RAM, that able to suffer from lags at some

heavy areas - set bigger values (but please do not use swap file on ssd disk, use hdd instead).

The most optimal value for VideoMemorySizeMb is reported by VRamSizeTest, but not bigger

than VRAM+RAM minus memory used by OS and other applications, including Fallout 4.

Unfortunately such math is possible only for users with at least 12 Gb of RAM because of bad

memory management, though on practice 6-8 Gb RAM is okay and not lags much.

As for config file from 8 or 16 Gb, choose the one which is less than your RAM+VRAM size and

after testing it's okay for you, try manully tweak with help of VRamSizeTest DX11. Configs

are just for users who are not good in all these extra steps and just want to install and run it.

I do not allow to publish here on Nexus binaries of my projects, that'swhy you need to download them separately. Other than that, feel free to share.OSWindows Vista/7/8/10 x64.HARDWARERAM:Greater means better in this case. For example i have 2 gb physical video memoryand 16 gb ram, but amount of video memory after using ENBoost is up to 12 gbinstead of 2.VRAM:Greater means better of course, but even if you have 1 gb textures will be sharperat cost of some stuttering when moving fast.//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++////++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++0) First of all, almost all problems happen because of things you did to yourgame or OS, various fake memory tweakers, boosters are at first place.Antiviruses, bad drivers, overlay monitoring, capturing, overclocking, etcprevent normal functionality. And do not ever force game process priority!Also if you configured game incorrectly by modifying Fallout4prefs.ini, it'salso lead you to nowhere. This prooved multiple times, not just by one user,you all do the same mistakes.1) If you have crashes at startup, run as admin, make sure no other softwarehooking in to game process, for example some antiviruses, screen capturing tools,videocard monitoring or overclocking. Afterburner, D3D Overrider, EVGA, ATI TrayTools, RadeonPro, DXTory, Fraps, XFire, Razer and Logitek utils, Steam overlay,antimalware tools, Avast - all these were detected in the past as incompatibewith wrappers.2) Stuttering may happen if unbalanced setting are used for VideoMemorySizeMbparameter, both too high or too low. ApplyStabilityPatch also affect this andtry to toggle it true/false for testing.3) Sound crackle noise possible in theory for some configs when ApplyStabilityPatchset to "true".4) Editor HUD is visible on the face of main character. Known bug, fixed in 0.283 binaries.5) Huge performance drop for some users at places with many objects. Known issue, butthere is no solution at this moment, somehow cpu cache miss occurs from simplestand short code. UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true may help, but not guaranteed.//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++////++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++1) Download "ENBoost 0.281" or NEWER version of ENBoost or ENBSeries for Fallout 4.2) Unpack files from "Patch" or "WrapperVersion" folder (depends from version)to your game folder where Fallout4.exe file is.3) Select proper enblocal.ini to your hardware file from ENBoost only archivefolders and extract it to game folder by replacing the same one from ENBSeries,so the first you install binaries and then use config for them from Nexus.4) Run the game. If everything is okay you will see startup message.//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++////++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++1) Open your Fallout game folder, delete from there (not from systemfolder!) files d3d11.dll, enblocal.ini, d3dcompiler_46e.dll.//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++////++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++All setting of the patch are located in enblocal.ini file, which is simple textand you may edit it in Notepad or any other text editor.- this parameter toggles the most important fixes, but itis almost useless for some users, at least in version 0.281. If you feel gamechanged to the worse, set ApplyStabilityPatch=false and try again. Be carefulwith antiviruses, they may produce CTD or cause patching to fail.ForceVideoMemorySize - let you use more video memory than physically availableon your videocard. This is possible because of driver specific features whichseems ignored by Bethesda developers. When set to "false", VideoMemorySizeMbis ignored.- forces amount of video memory available, this value is inMegabytes, so if you have 2Gb videocard, it's equal to 2048. Please downloadVRamSizeTest tool from my web site using dx11 version of it get maximalavailable video memory size for your hardware.set value above thatone from VRamSizeTest DX11 or game may crash randomly. Also when you haveSkype, internet browsers and some other software, size of available video memoryis reduced and also leads to crashes. To avoid such issues you may set valuea bit lower than maximal, in general 300 mb less seems okay. At last, Windowsitself require some video memory, if i remember 120 mb for Win7, 180 for Win8.- just a graphics hint with small performance impact, disablesinvalid back lights for all characters which makes them look glowing on sideseverywhere. This feature was requested and i'll use it in future graphic modsanyway.- this is a bit different thing compared to game vsync, i won'tdescribe how it works, but for some game setting and users it could be veryuseful, better than own game vsync.- not required in Fallout 4, but i recommend to use it to avoidunpredictable results because of too short individual frames (time of each framevaries a lot in Fallout 4).//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++////++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Boris Vorontsov (aka ENB)You are free to use, share or sale without notice of any copyrights.
