Wow, 10-15 FPS impact is quite huge, I could not afford it on my computer o_0'
What differences have you noticed between the old and the new version ? Which one looks better ? I mean, if you really are ready to sacrifice 10-15 FPS on that new version, there must be something in it that really look better than the old one, so could you explain/show/describe please ?

I didn't mess with either too much, and the only difference I noticed between the old and new, was that the new one seemed to be a little less blurry maybe. It must be different beyond that though like I said, because of the frame rate hit. I also saw the temp of my GPU jump 2-3 degrees C almost instantly after I activated it. As cool as it this bloom thing looks though, I just don't know enough about how it works to feel comfortable using it.

Couldn't say which is better really. The newer .inis have a couple new parameters, that's about all I know. I should also mention, that I used a modified ini from the new presets download. And again, after turning off everything but the bloom, the only thing I changed was the "BloomMaxLimit=" from 100 down to 25.

Yikes! That shouldn't have happened I don't think. d3d9.dll and enbseries.ini were the only two you added and removed?

Yes those where the only, and your gpu should be fine, that much is what would happen on a hot day Wink

I know. 2-3 degrees C for a gpu is nothing, especially since mine idles at around 40C. But it's just not worth it to me.

As far as starting your sim goes, I don't know what to tell ya. Are you getting any kind of error message, or is it just not doing anything at all?

On the main page, there is, among the various downloads, a version that is said to be made for older cards. Maybe you could give this one a try, instead of trying the latest "normal" version ?

Edit: the one that is entitled like this:
GTA San Andreas beta v0.074f shaders 1.4 - Updated. This version specially developed for old videocards with DirectX8 support only. Not tested on such hardware, i don't have it.

When I try the bloom effect my hole game turns a bluish tint? I don't think this is correct. I have installed and edited the numbers to where the bloom is the only thing that takes effect. I wasn't sure if it had to do with my GFX card because its only a GeForce FX 5200?

If you install one of the .inis from the presets download, it's important to rename which ever preset you use to "enbseries.ini". Otherwise, the module will make a new one. (The same way FS9 make a new FS9.cfg.) It sounds like the bloom is just set too high.

When i downloaded it the file was already called enbseries.ini if thats what your speaking of? And the bloom is only set to 1 in the .ini file.

Your video card is quite old. Which version of the bloom file did you install ? Have you seen that on the main page, there's a special download for older cards ? Have you tried this one ?

Among the downloads, there's one called "Presets" or something like that. It contains alternative ini files, ordered in folders with the video card names, so you can get an ini for your exact video card.

Oh ! Sorry then, I'm really not familiar with the ATI card names :/
But anyway, it's worth a try I would say.
