Red Sky/only shadows/SSAO

Hello,

I'm encountering the "red sky" bug, where every object ingame is white, sky is red and only SSAO and shadows are visible. I did all workarounds like iMultiSample=0 etc but this doesn't seem to help. strangely it only occurs when I go to desktop and back again, then I have to restart it to fix it. Window mode makes this occur all the time; I tried several ENB dll's but every dll seems to have this issue...

Any help?

Specs:

Intel i7 2600K
Zotac GTX 670 (drivers: 327.23)
8 Gigs of RAM

Tried pretty much every ENB dll which is for download, also the newest (0.223)...

*Has problem*

*Doesn't list specs*

Don't even bother posting which version of the ENB you are using, nevermind which game it is.

Fixed. It's a bit awkward for me that I forgot something such essential *facepalm*

Re: Red Sky/only shadows/SSAO

What game are you playing?

Do you have a proxy d3d9.dll alongside ENB?

Are you running any injector software? MSI Afterburner, RadeonPro...Software like that.

Have you turned off each setting in ENB individually and tested whether or not the problem persists?

Skyrim;
Nope;
I never have them running because I know about the ENB issues with these softwares;
Yep, the only effect which changes the look is SSAO because it's the only effect visible;

Re: Red Sky/only shadows/SSAO

Have you run the latest DirectX redistributable?

Is "floatingpointrendertarget", in the Skyrimprefs.ini set to 1? If not, set it to 1.

Does this occur only with a preset? Does it occur with every one, including the default settings?

- Yep, I have the latest DX Red., this was one of the workarounds I did; it happens with EVERY setting, floatingpointrendertarget is set to 1 (I'm not such a beginner that I can't read :P),

oh maybe it's important to mention that it started in the beginner quest where you have to walk through the cave etc with the bear, there it started, if I walk back into this interior and walk back until I reach the room where you have to kill those spiders, there it doesn't occur...
Strangely I was using ENB for months without problems, just wanted to play skyrim a bit, started it with the settings I used last and this happens.
May this be a driver issue? The only thing I changed back then was updating the nvidia drivers (I wanted to play BF4 beta and the game told me to update the drivers so I did this)?

EDIT: I found a picture which shows exactly the problem:

The solutions mentioned in the topic where I have this pic from don't help, I mean, AA doesn't switch from off to on when moving around in the game world, also I checked triple if AA is forced somewhere but nope.

Re: Red Sky/only shadows/SSAO

Does this happen with the default ENB downloaded from this site? No effect.txt or anything; just the files that it comes with in the archive?

Re: Red Sky/only shadows/SSAO

This happen by many reasons, i can't list them all. If this happen after alt+tab, then try SpeedHack=false, because some software or driver modify device state without restoring it back.

It started after alt+tab but now it appears even without it...I'll try that speedhack thing, thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nope that didn't help. In the Prison (I went amok ingame) ENB works strangely...
