As the title says, for some reason since I started playing Skyrim again quite recently, the steam overlay just refuses to work. It *has* worked once or twice, without me changing anything - but then goes back to not working. Skyrim is the only game with this issue. Could it be related to MO as the modutility of choice? It's highly annoying because steam chat is the only IM me and my friends use. and tabbing out from fullscreen mode is a chore. Windowed mode sadly not a good option due to tearing. :/ Any ideas?

I feel like this isn't explained well anywhere. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and googling to get this to work. So I put together a guide that might save people some headaches. By the way, this all works on Fallout 3, Fallout NV, and Fallout 4 too.

Getting SweetFX + ENB to work together
- Remove all previous ENB-related files from your main skyrim folder. It's OK if you miss some. Chrome mega download cache. Recommend deleting to the recycle bin, so you can restore the files to their original location easily, if you accidentally delete something important.
Delete the following:
Anything with ENB in the filename, including any ENB folder
WrapperVersion folder, or anything that says Injector
Any .fx files
Any sweetfx folder or files
Uninstall SweetFX Configurator if you see it listed under windows add/remove programs - Remove ENB and/or sweetfx from nexus mod manager. Mods that sort of 'assist' ENB or lighting are probably ok to leave alone.
- Download some kind of ENB. There are many out there. The most basic (original) one is found here:
http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0251.htm
..direct link to latest version 0.251 download
Keep the original ZIP, RAR, or .7z file when you download any ENB! - Download SweetFX manually (don't use nexus mod manager) -
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23364/
Latest stable version is 1.51, there's an alpha 2.0 out there if you want to google for it. Anyway, click the Files tab on the above site, ignore the big green button, click the smaller blue 'download manually' link.
Again, keep the original ZIP, RAR, or .7z file. - Download SweetFX configurator. http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/SweetFX-Configurator_1.3.3.zip ..Don't install yet. But go ahead and keep the ZIP.
- Copy the SweetFX zip file, and the ENB zip file, to your main Skyrim folder. The one that has TESV.exe.
- Unzip the SweetFX zip directly to this folder. We need to get SweetFX installed FIRST. Actually, there's no installer, you're just unzipping a bunch of files. You'll see those new files + a SweetFX folder appear. If it asks to overwrite something, you probably had leftovers from a previous SweetFX install, so just say yes.
It's helpful at this point to explain what's happening here: The main file that adds all the cool SweetFX visual effects to skyrim is d3d9.dll ..all the other files are sort of settings and support files for this main important file. If this file is available, skyrim will use it and modify the graphics.
ENB also uses a d3d9.dll file, to insert visual effects into skyrim. But we need to get both DLL's working at the same time. If you overwrite one with the other, then you will have only SweetFX, or only ENB, or worse.. the game just crashes.
I'll explain how we get both DLL's working in the next steps. For now, just get SweetFX installed. - Find the ZIP with sweetFX configurator. Don't worry about where you place the zip file, just unzip it and run setup.exe to install it. I think it launches right away afterwards. Click Add New Game (bottom left), and browse your way to a skyrim executable. If you're using Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) then point it to the file 'skse_loader.exe' ..if you're not, you can point it to 'TESV.exe'
A bunch of presets should appear, play around with them. Sharpness and Vibrance (saturation, basically) make the game look great when jacked up above the defaults, IMO. Click 'Save New Config' once you've activated the presets you like. Keep the program running. Click Launch Selected Game. If all goes well, skyrim runs and you see improved graphics. You can toggle SweetFX on and off using the Scroll Lock key on your keyboard. If you see no difference at all when you tap Scroll Lock, it may not be working properly. One way to be 100% sure is to enable the 'monochrome' setting under SweetFX. All the game's graphics will appear in black and white if it's working. - Assuming SweetFX runs fine, quit the game. Find the d3d9.dll file in your skyrim folder and rename it to 'SWEETFXd3d9.dll' without the quotes. It's important to keep your two d3d9.dll files straight. SweetFX needs to use its version, and ENB needs to use its version. If you get confused which is which, use the filesize as a clue. My SWEETFXd3d9.dll is only 167KB, whereas the ENB version of d3d9.dll is much larger, 719 KB.
- Now unzip whatever ENB you downloaded earlier. It should ask to overwrite a bunch of files.. files ending in .ini, and .fx. It will also probably extract a new d3d9.dll ..since you renamed the sweetFX version of this file, the game will not use it anymore. But it will use the d3d9.dll you just unzipped.
Note some ENB's don't come with their own d3d9.dll file, instead they are just a collection of settings (the .ini and .fx files) that are intended to work with the d3d9.dll that is included with basic ENB. The one I linked in step 3. If you downloaded and unzipped this basic ENB, it sticks all the files into a subfolder called ENB.
Because the files aren't in the MAIN skyrim folder, skyrim won't use them. So you need to move them out of the ENB subfolder, and into your main folder. When you do this, you'll be asked to overwrite stuff, say yes.
At this point if you run the game, ENB will be working, but not sweetFX, because that important SWEETFXd3d9.dll file isn't being used anymore.. the game will use the d3d9.dll you just unzipped. You'll know ENB is working right away because as soon as you see the Bethesda logo (or maybe it's on the title screen) You'll see a little message at the top left 'ENBSeries by Boris Vorontsov' and some other text. You can confirm by pressing shift+Enter, a config screen should pop up. If you don't see either of these things, ENB is not working. Quit out of the game and double check the above steps. - Once ENB is working, exit the game. Here's the crucial part. We need to get both those .DLL files working together. To do this, find the file 'enbseries.ini' in your main skyrim folder. Double click it to edit it. Near the top you'll see some lines under the [PROXY] category. Make them look exactly like this:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=SWEETFXd3d9.dll
Save and close enbseries.ini. Note that if you ever overwrite this file, add a new ENB, or deactive/reactive SweetFX, the above settings change will be lost and you need to redo this step. UPDATE: Also note that you may have another version of this file in the main game folder, called 'enblocal.ini'. You need to change the same proxy settings in that file too. If you tried the previous steps in this guide already, but sweetFX stopped working after you renamed the d3d9.dll file, and you only got ENB, this is probably the reason. - Cross your fingers, if you launch skyrim now (you can use the SweetFX configurator to do it) you should now see both the ENB effects, and SweetFX effects. Look for the ENB message to pop up on the title screen, and use scroll lock to see if the spinning Skyrim icon changes, or the title screen text. You don't need to load your save to confirm they're both working.
If they're both working, try to load your last save or some other save. If the game crashes, you might try temporarily turning off both sets of effects (there's a 'use effects' checkbox, if you press shift+enter.. this disables enb's effects.. then use scroll lock to disable SweetFX).Cara memperbaiki pistol guncon 2.

Q. I seem to get ENB only, or SweetFX only, but not both.
A. It's important to install and overwrite files in the right order. Install SweetFX first, then SweetFX configurator. Confirm SweetFX works, then quit the game. THEN rename that d3d9.dll file to SWEETFXd3d9.dll, and leave it where it is in the skyrim main folder. THEN unzip your enb, and overwrite anything it asks you to overwrite. If your ENB came with a d3d9.dll file somewhere in the zip, great. If not, you need to get an ENB that has this critical file. Download the basic version in step 3 and unzip it. THEN unzip your non-basic ENB (the one that was missing the critical file), and say yes to anything it wants to overwrite. As a FINAL step, make the changes to enbseries.ini ..if you make the change earlier, this file gets overwritten and your changes are lost.

Q. I see other d3d9.dll files in other folders, and there's some other enbseries.ini, should I mess with those?
A. No. Just change these files in your main skyrim folder, the one that has TESV.exe.

Q. Should I delete the extra files mentioned above?
A. No, the files in subfolders are there for a reason, just worry about the main skyrim folder.

Q. I'm not sure I'm seeing the bokeh/blur/depth of field effect.
A. If ENB is definitely running, you may have a type of ENB that keeps this disabled. You can find settings for this type of effect in the file 'enbeffectprepass.fx' ..there's a ton of text but look for a section for bokeh or depth of field, and try changing the settings there (which involves just changing numbers usually.. for example you might see a line that says float fBokehConstant = 0.1; and if you change it to fBokehConstant = 0.9; then the blurring should be more obvious.

If ENB is definitely working (like you got the ENB message on the title screen), but you still don't get the blurring effect, there are a couple of skyrim settings that maybe need changing. There's a file called 'SkyrimPrefs.ini' that you should edit. This file is in My Documents, My Games, Skyrim (C:UsersYourUserNameDocumentsMy GamesSkyrim). Note: confusingly there's a second skyrimprefs.ini file somewhere in your skyrim folder. Ignore this one. Changes made to it won't work. It's for backup purposes only.
Anyway, open up the correct SkyrimPrefs.ini and look for these settings.
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bDoDepthOfField=1
Make sure those are both 1, not 0.
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
bDoDepthOfField=1
Make sure those are both 1, not 0.
Q. The game crashes on/before title screen.
A. This might be the result of mixing and matching the wrong d3d9.dll with ENB or sweetFX. Do the very first step carefully and delete old enb-related stuff. Go through nexus mod manager and deactivate (or even delete) anything enb-related. If you delete to the recycle bin then you don't have to stress that you'll somehow ruin skyrim, you can just restore deleted files.

Q. The game crashes when I fast travel.
A. I get this all the time, I think it's got to do with the PC's lack of horsepower - the game is trying to load too much for the graphics card and processor to handle. Try disabling both the ENB and SweetFX effects. Shift+F12 to turn off ENB, scroll lock to turn off SweetFX. If you successfully fast travel, save, then turn them back on. You can also try 'slow travel' aka walking to your desired destination, it seems the game has an easier time loading the graphics this way. If you crash trying to go to a major city.. there's an interesting mod called 'Open Cities'. Unfortunately, in my experience you'll crash more approaching cities if you use this mod.

Q. The game crashes when I save, or load a save.
A. I get this but honestly have no idea what it is. But it doesn't crash every time. Suggest retrying, and use the above tip to temporarily turn down the graphical effects. You might also see what happens if you run in a lower resolution. If it crashes less, then you probably just need a more powerful computer. You can also try the standard 'let's see what's crashing skyrim' tactic, which is to disable some mods via Nexus Mod Manager or some other manager. See if that fixes it. Keep disabling more and more 'likely offenders' until the game runs properly.
