Problem with Rudy ENB [Solved]

[=CrimsoN=]

I don't know if anyone here will have a solution for this, but Im going to ask anyway, and I already searched the forums to no avail.

I have correctly installed the Rudy ENB, but when I go to start up Fallout NV, the game freezes at the very first main menu screen and I have to force close after that. This is a consistent crash as well (meaning every single time I go to start the game, I crash at the exact same spot on the main menu screen).

Now, I have 100% determined that the ReShade.dll or maybe the ReShade.ini that is required for Rudy ENB is the problem. When it is removed, the ENB starts fine (but without ReShade, it doesn't look...good). I determined that part of the problem was the file paths for the ReShade.ini being incorrectly labeled for my setup as they were pointing the ReShade.ini shaders and textures to the C drive, while my game is installed on the E drive (multiple drives). So I did fix that, but for some odd reason, the ReShade logs show that the game is getting stuck when trying to compile textures.

See below:

This is what the log says at the very last part:

and just stops there. Meaning ReShade is somehow getting stuck when trying to compile textures, but I cant determine why since the file path is setup correctly and everything.

lol no sooner did I post this...

I just solved the problem. Turns out the latest version of ReShade that Rudy ENB directs you to, actually isn't compatible with the ENB for whatever reason. I fixed the issue by downloading the previous version of ReShade (version 3.06) since version 3.07 is what was causing the crash.

So I guess if anyone has a problem^That's what you need to do.

How did you manage to download the previous version of ReShade? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

Good question. It's been so long that I kind of forgot. :/ does the latest version still cause crashing? Maybe the Ruby ENB comment section has a link

I found the ReShade version 3.0.6 executable! it took some time but i found it on mediafire. Not only that, but many more versions of ReShade
