Only interior settings seem to change anything

Hi,
I have the same problem that has been posted here a few times where only the interior settings in enbseries.ini seem to change anything. In earlier versions, like the 0.102 version that comes with Sharpshooters ENB, there are no interior settings so the day night settings work in that case. Seems like in the newer ENB versions that enable separate interior settings, then only those values make any difference. Is there a fix for this? Really sucks that I can only have the interiors or exterior look good.
Thanks for any help, this program is awesome BTW!

I don't know the reason of this. Try to remove skyrimprefs.ini (backup first) and set ForceFakeVideocard=false in enbseries.ini.

Re: Only interior settings seem to change anything

Hi,

I had this bug too, and another one : the Parallax fix did not work anymore.

I found what caused it, and also fixed the "Interior only" bug :

Open you SkyrimPrefs.ini file, find the line containing bDeferredShadows=0 and set it to 1.

That's all, it fixes these two bugs :)

Nice catch, thanks for reporting.

A yet another proof that no one should mess with the settings they don't understand.

Re: Only interior settings seem to change anything

Yeah, I had this issue as well after changing this setting. Unless you are willing to change all your lighting values thru interior settings only, it sorta won't work right. On the flip side, vanilla shadow lighting has advantages when setting it to 0 instead of 1. Getting dynamic shadows from torch light and spell lighting when in shaded areas such as a tunnel or cave is pretty awesome! There are still some underlying bugs though, such as "moon rays" Probably not worth changing it.

Re: Only interior settings seem to change anything

@far327
Yep, I changed it because spells could throw dynamic shadows with this mod (skyrim.nexusmods. com/mods/8479), in certain areas.

But this single option is causing so much trouble that I set it back to default :
- parallax bug
- interior only bug
- very poor SLI performance

Now my game is running pretty smooth with every ENB effects on :)

Re: Only interior settings seem to change anything

Try to backup and then delete skyrimprefs.ini, regenerate it again by starting skyrimlauncher.exe. Solution is unknown and reason too.
