ENB Graphics in Sea Dogs experience [Best Graphics preset by far]
By updating the directx version in Sea Dogs from version 8 to 9, Blackmark brought a lot of new opportunities of improving graphics in our beloved game.
Sadly, later in 2017 they made a down-grade and for today game is using libraries from directx 8.
But nobody say that it is forever so i decided to download a 1.5.0 patch for Sea Dogs that supports directx 9 to check some of graphics improvements that you can't make with 1.5.1+
Spent about 2 hours on configuring the effects and color-correction and got some pretty sweet effect. Of cource it is not perfect and it has a lot of ways of improving but i don't find this kind of buisness worthless today because you can't even launch it on the current game build.
Got a really nice experience by playing this last evening and even captured some footage to show to you.
Youtube compressed it a lot but it still looks nice in my opinion.
To see the MAJOR differences you should propably jump to the day time footage especially to the last one with USS Costituion because the sea surface looks insanely cool at this fragment.
The time codes are:
0:00 - 03:54 - The Dawn
03:54 - 09:00 - Moonpath
09:01 - 13:27 - Endless Sea
13:28 - 15:55 - USS Costitution

Looks very interesting.

Can i see a list of mods below ENB?
How it looks on land? (if this exists on video - sorry, i listed to fast)
Why don't you turn interface on, is it too overblured or something like this?
What about access to try this out?
And i noticed some "jumps" of blur, you could try to use some delay for blur actions on each camera move.. but i guess you won't fix it.

There s tons of a small mods from the very different sources, too much to describe :P
I can take some shots without mods but it doesn't really make a lot of sense.
When interface is disabled, the game looks more cinematic so that's the reason propably. And it is blurry yea, asweel as a lot of objects are getting blurry which should not but it is pretty configurable so it's a question of time to make it work together, theres nothing hard or complicated.
To apply these effects first thing you neeed is TEHO game version 1.5.0 which has support of directx 9 and then all you need is to download and install the last version of ReShade from the official site. And yes, it is not ENB actually but ReShade but i decided to call it as "ENB Graphics" because for the most of people it sounds familiar and most of people has never heard about ReShade. And in case of Sea Dogs the difference between ENB and ReShade is not far and they use the same way to apply ingame effects.

Reshade is always a part of enb (as far as i know, mb i'am mistaken), so there are no problems with name for this stuff. Also enb is a miscellany of graphic mods like (as i noticed) new sky, sails and ship models etc.

Ok then, wish there will be more footage with interface and actions on land.

p.s. i am already using reshade for some games, but im really lazy to install old teho versions. it is so meeeh. As a chances of happening of dx9 in this game again - meh.

The worst thing is that save games from 1.5.0 version are uncompatible with any other game build.
Hope someday i'll have an inspiration to configure this for using on-land and to make DOF work together with interface )

All saves from 1.5.x should be compatible. If you're talking about 1.4.x and before with vers above - yep, it is not, but this vers should be forgotten and forbidden :)

*hoping about the same*

Hi all I wonder where I can download ENB Graphics and how it works. It seems awesome.
Irish_Warlock Feb 11, 2019 @ 6:51am 
Yep. Can we have a link to this Graphics mode please.

1.5.0 patch for Sea Dogs that supports directx 9, download reshade, customize settings, but you can’t play with add-ons that came out after patch 1.5.0.
Ulfric Sombrage Feb 11, 2019 @ 3:06pm 
Ok, but where can we find this patch ?
Al-Gross ✴ Feb 11, 2019 @ 7:57pm 
torrent
Ulfric Sombrage Feb 13, 2019 @ 6:09am 
And is it possible to just have enb graphics somewhere else to play with add ons ?
