I'm using the PHinix ENB on Skyrim and have some problems I was hoping someone could help with:

1. The loading screens are about 3-4x longer than before (20-30 seconds on average). This is on a new computer with a 2GB GTX 770, 8 GB RAM, i7 processor, and SSD. Is this normal, or is there something that can be done in the settings? I saw a "fix" where you turn off the ENB via keyboard shortcut just before you go to a loading screen, but I don't really want to do that if possible. Changing IgnoreLoadingScreen to true doesn't help the load times. I sometimes get a slight flash of light during a loading screen, if that is indicative of anything. I also have been locked at 60 fps even before installing an ENB, so there must be some sort of FPS limiter in the Vanilla game (I didn't install one), if that makes a difference.

2. When I look around, there is a very sudden and noticible change (in brightness/contrast mainly) as I pan around the room. I presume this is a function of the Adaptation settings (when the crosshairs hit an either dark or light area). I tried to play around with it to make it more subtle, but so far have not been successful. I'd ideally like there to be a slower (gradual, over several seconds) transition if I look at a different area for awhile, but it doesn't look like there's a setting for that per se. I also don't see a way to change how big of an area is being analyzed (bigger would be better so that small areas of darkenss/ brightness don't trigger the effect). Are there some better settings for Adaptation?

thanks in advance!

2. Enjoy your Bethesda quality post-processing. Try this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31593

1. SKyrim has it's own Vsync which can be turned off if one wants to in the skyrimprefs.ini, IpresentInterval=0.


A better way of disabling vanilla adaptation and bloom without causing mod incompatibility is to add proper code for control of those effects in the enbeffect.fx file.

Just check my enbeffect.fx for such a code here - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1503

If you have problems implementing the code just let me know and I'll guide you through the process of doing so.
The code will allow you too adjust both the vanilla adaptation and vanilla bloom or just simply turn it on and off.
