Hi there.
I am modding Skyrim SE/AE (again) and am installing an ENB. I’ve done this a million times before and never had an issue, but I am guessing it may be to me missing some dependencies - such as some DirectX, or something else I am overlooking.

I built a new PC a couple of weeks ago, and I am using an Intel Arc A770 GPU.

When I run the game using SKSE on Mo2, it goes to a black screen with the ENB text showing in the top left. The screen stays black, then goes back to the desktop.

I have disabled all mods with the same thing happening. The only thing that stops the crash is to remove the d3d11 dll.

I’m not sure if this is something with the intel arc, or if anyone knows if perhaps there is a dependancy I’m missing?

I saw another post with a similar issue, and I downloaded DirectX Runtime June 2010, however that did not fix the issue.

Thank you!

Edit - Got it working! I deleted all of the ENB files, checked file integrity on Steam (which did download a file) Reinstalled Direct X. The ENB is now working :)

    A few questions for you, to try to narrow it down: Did ENB write any logs before it crashed? (These would be in the game directory.) Does SKSE log anything or does the launch not reach that stage? Also, what’s in your Skyrim directory? This is a slightly silly suggestion, but make sure you’re starting with a pristine game dir, with not leftover dlls or loaders from pre-AE versions.

      I checked for logs but I didn’t see anything unfortunately. The launch does not reach that point. It immediately goes to black, the ENB text pops up, then crashes to desktop :(

      My directory is clean as this is a fresh OS install and fresh install of Skyrim as the computer is newly built :)

      I actually did get it working!
