Fallout 3 ENB causes CTD on start *FIXED*
So, I've got my fallout 3 modded to hell with graphics mods, but the second I put the d3d9.dll from the latest ENB file from ENBdev it causes my game to crash with a "failed to initialize renderer" error

Help, I am so lost, and I really want an ENB haha

Disable compatibility on Fallout3.exe and the Fallout Launcher.

It already has been disabled. I've also got everything running as adminstrator, but either way it doesn;t work.

****FIXED / SOLVED****

So, I had to download the 1.0 version, not the 2.0, and use the version 0.118 ENB version, and not run anything as administrator and not use compatibility mode.

Apparently this was some super obscure fix I found on a 2 year old youtube comment thread, so hopefully this helps other people

0.118 binary doesn't have memory patch (aka ENBoost) though. Midhrastic 2.0 works for me just fine... Something tells me it's marvelous Win10's fault. Again. Who would've thought.

If nothing works for you:

You still need to UNCHECK "compatibility" and "run as administrator" to get at least the launcher showing, but still when you click on "Play" same issue. OK.

I've founded out in the launcher settings that my Fallout 3 wasn't using my graphic card but instead the "Intel Graphics" integred. And also I could not switch to my graphic card instead. If this is the case for you well it's probably this.

What to do?

Go to Widnows' display settings, the go to "graphic settings", then "Browse", and find Fallout3.exe, FalloutLauncher.exe and fose_loader.exe. Then change the settings to get it use the graphic card.
Then if you launch your game and go to the settings you can chose your graphic card.

I've found in a random way because it was not even my intention to solve this problem anymore but I anyway tried again the ENB after doing this and it worked like my brain literally blowned up.

I hope this can help the most of peapole struggling with it, and hope you the best!

(ps : Forgive me for my english)
