Enshrouded Tool Fix

Hi everyone!

I wrote a script in PowerShell that tries to fix startup and crashing problems Enshrouded has.

Please not that It only works if the game was purchased in Steam!

Of course, there are many machine-specific variables that can influence how the script functions. I did try my best to account for a lot of factors. However, I have an nVidia GPU and based the script off it, so AMD cards may not show all relevant information (unfortunately, none of my friends have one so I cannot test the script for AMD GPUs).

What it does

• Checks if old versions of any Vulkan API layers are present and deletes them except for the layer that the video card uses. If that layer's is not updated by installing a new video driver, then the script will not be effective.
  
• Checks for the latest version of Vulkan Runtime on vulkan.lunarg.com and automatically updates it if the installed version is older.
  
• Checks running applications that use Vulkan graphical API and displays them (this is not a guaranteed detection method, but it might help if it does finds something useful).
  
• Removes the shader cache of nVidia and AMD video cards, as well as the cache generated by the game on Steam.
  
• Sets the optimal resolution for the game by changing the settings in the enshrouded_local.json file.
  
• Disables GameDVR if it is enabled.
  
• Checks the amount of video memory on the video card and will report if it is less than 6 GB.
  
• Offers to update the drivers for the video card and provides relevant links.

All updates are reflected in the patch logs below. If you have suggestions for improving the script or any other feedback, please feel free to share it!

Startup instructions

Note: The tool should be launched when the game is closed.

You can open PowerShell on Windows as an administrator, paste (RMB) the command into console and press Enter:

[v1.1.10]
- Fixed the algorithm for determining the version of the Vulkan layer due to the update of the format of new video card drivers
- Added display of the version and date of the video card driver

[LiaNdrY]

[v1.1.9]
- Fixed the algorithm for determining the latest available version of Vulkan RT

Most likely you have something with the OS or specifically with powershell, you can download and install version 7 separately. The system has version 5 installed by default. They both work.
