Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - FXAA Post Process Injector Mod v2.0

This mod will enhance your graphics with FXAA and a slew of post processing effects, including bloom, sharpen, technicolor, sepia, tonemap, vignette, and more for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Installation instructions in below in More Information...

Enhance your graphics with FXAA and a variety of post processing effects, including bloom, sharpen, technicolor, sepia, tonemap, vignette, and more.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you have the latest DirectX runtime installed.

Important: Uninstall previous versions of the mod before installing version 2.0.

Version 2.0 Notes

* New GUI.

* Antialiasing re-enabled and toggle fixed.

* HQ Sharpening disabled for now.

To change mod settings, open FXAA Tool from your desktop or start menu and adjust sliders.

Note: The default settings in this version are roughly equivalent to Preset 4 in the last version.

Automatic:

Run the installer. Make sure you double check which directory it is extracting to. It should extract to Skyrim's main directory with the game executable (TESV.exe). Run FXAA_Tool.exe to change settings.

Manual:

Extract the contents from one of the folders into your main Skyrim directory w/ the game executable. Usually:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

OR

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

I highly recommend using this mod in conjunction with Enhanced Shaders. It's fully compatible, boosts visuals with HDR and high quality sharpening, and includes ENBSeries' Skyrim patch to boot.

Version 1.3 Notes

FXAA is permanently disabled with version 1.3 due to instability. (Revised FXAA script provided by Sephious.) If you wish to enable FXAA, either use Skyrim's built-in version or revert to version 1.2.

Preset 1: Medium sharpening, medium bloom, technicolor, medium saturation.

Preset 2: No sharpening, medium bloom, technicolor, medium saturation.

UNINSTALLATION

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you used the installer, uninstall FXAA Post-Process Injector from the list of programs in your Control Panel or by running Uninstall.exe in your Skyrim directory. If you manually extracted the files, delete:

injFX_Shaders folder

FXAA_Tool.exe,

injFX_Settings.h

shader.fx

d3d9.dll

log.txt

Verify game cache files with Steam if crashing after uninstalling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMPATIBILITY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compatible with both ATI and Nvidia graphics cards.

Not compatible with any mod that overwrites d3d9.dll except ENBSeries.

For ENBSeries and ENBSeries based mods:

Rename the DLL of this mod to something else (for example, d3d9_f.dll). Open enbseries.ini and change the following lines:

EnableProxyLibrary=false

InitProxyFunctions=true

ProxyLibrary=

to

EnableProxyLibrary=1

InitProxyFunctions=1

ProxyLibrary=d3d9_f.dll (or whatever you named the DLL)

Make sure you are renaming the DLL of this mod and not ENBSeries' DLL.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TROUBLESHOOTING

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're experiencing issues related to missing DLL errors, or have problems with the mod's DLL, make sure you have the latest DirectX runtime installed.

If you are experiencing crashes, set the Skyrim executable (TESV.exe) to run as administrator.

(Right click TESV.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Check "Run this program as administrator.")

Turn off any on-screen display programs and monitoring tools such as Fraps, ATI Tray Tools, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, XFire etc.

Disable v-sync if experiencing sluggish FPS or mouse lag.

Certain SkyrimPrefs.ini graphical tweaks may cause instability and crashes.

Blurry or crisp UI text is a side effect of the mod and cannot be fixed. Post-processing affects the entire image, and therefore it is not possible to exclude the UI.

Here is a comprehensive list of problems and solutions not related to this mod, but can help you out if you can't identify the cause of your crashing/performance problems.
