Ok now we've gotten to the 'scary' part, only it really isn't scary. Note - this guide is written for original Skyrim not the special edition as there is no need for enboost memory management with DX11 based games at this time. While a preset may contain an ESP, ENBoost will always be installed in the game folder, not the data folder. None of the basic ENB files should ever be placed in your Data folder. We’re only helping your system to use memory more efficiently.ĮNBoost is not a mod, and does not get installed with a mod manager. (hopefully making it smoother and more stable) The most important thing to remember is not to let any of this intimidate you. We will be changing how the game behaves though. In fact we will be intentionally turning off the graphics support features of the ENB. We will not be configuring a preset, or changing the way your game looks. We will be focusing on the wrapper version in this guide, but there are instructions for using the injector version in the trouble shooting section.įor the purposes of this guide we are only interested in the Binary, which contains the advanced memory management features (ENBoost). This is important because the injector version works better for some people, and is often a fix for people having problems running the wrapper version. Both of them function the same, and are configured almost identically, but are accessed differently by the computer. The binaries also come in two versions, the 'wrapper', and the 'Injector'. The files that comprise the actual code that allows the framework to run, which we call the binary, and a second series of files that contain all of the settings required to customize the “look”, which we call the preset. It’s basically a framework that allows for advanced graphics support, and memory management for games that are limited by DirectX, or a dated operating system.ĮNBs come in two parts. It is a 3D graphics series developed by Boris Vorontsov. “Everybody Needs Boris” was the best answer I found when I asked what ENB stood for.
