Help - ENB error 0xc00001d [Resolved]

[JoebyKaeby]

The Windows Creators Update installed to my computer overnight, and today running Skyrim with ENB installed throws an 0xc00001d error and fails to run. I'm only using the speedhack settings for ENB with proxy to SweetFX - Skyrim by itself runs fine, and with just the SweetFX it runs fine, but any ENB d3d9.dll throws the error.

My research has suggested that that error is simply that the program is trying to load something that it can't find. Anybody have any clue what the update could have messed with that ENB is no longer able to access? Something related to the enhancements for 4K gaming maybe? Re-running Steam's first-time installer didn't fix the problem either, so it would seem can't be DirectX or .net.

Ultimitely I opted to roll back the update after I discovered several other compatibilty issues with older software. Doing so allowed me to run my original setup again as if nothing had ever happened, so I can confirm that the update was involved somehow. Thankfully Windows 10 includes a button in the Recovery Center to automatically "Restore the Previous Version of Windows".

Thanks very much to everybody who's contributed to this discussion.

Try deleting d3d9.dll if you're running Windows 10. d3d9.dll is the dll for DirectX9 runtime that's known to cause issues in Win10 as Win10 uses later versions of DirectX

Woah there, cowboy - the version of DirectX a given game uses is up to the game, not the OS. The d3d9.dll file located in the game directory is required by wrapper-based ENBs, and the one in your Windows system folder is even more important.

Frankly I suspect the easiest solution is to get rid of the Creator Update (this hasn't been the first complaint about it), though I do hear tell that it shouldn't break an injector-based ENB setup.

look if you are still running skyrim in compatibility mode. if yes, disable it.

Subscribed ... I was reading through the creators update tech reviews, and I'm wondering if the Steam Overlay is interfering with the the new streaming features in game mode. There are a few new 3D tools, but the game mode thread prioritization, has me wondering.

I would refresh steam, and make sure you're set up for the beta updates ... I just have a feeling there's going to be a few bugs here and there as they figure out what MS did to us again :)

the bad news is we're all going to get the update eventually. I might opt in sooner and see what it does to my install as well.

It's downloading now ... I'll let you know if it messes with my enb setup the same way.

If I'd opted to install 10 (I didn't), I'd be inclined to wait. Microsoft knows there are issues and specifically warns against manual installation[www.google.com], so it's likely they'll be releasing some fixes over the next month or so.

Hi BB ... agreed, but they're still rolling it out. I want to see the bugs for myself, at least you can back out of this update, I'm at 20%

Besides if I need to put a warning in the ENB guides, or a work around, I first have to understand the problem.

creators update seems to work fine on my system so far. but i had the exact same problem as op when launching through SKSE. turned out i just had to disable compatibility mode

In theory you can back out. In practise, you should back up first, because now that I look around, sure enough I'm seeing reports where people've tried to rollback and the process has failed.

They're a low percentage, but still: be confident that you can restore your backups if need be.

Hopefully Rüdiger has the answer!

I just ran the fulll update, then did have a few problems getting Skyrim to load, but it setled down after I forced a full shut down and did a cold boot ... didn't get any errors since. I played for a few hours just to make sure ... if anything it was a little better for me.

Thanks for the info! The one thing I didn't try was taking out SKSE, and I have been using compatibility mode for Skyrim due to several previous suggestions to do so.
