Also, Sorry bout the Pics... I'll find another upload site :< And as it sits I am currently working on 2 of these... One being a Wrapper(No need to turn on, just goes when the game boots up.) and the other, the injector(Which has the ability to turn off, and on with a key Macro) I am also working on a combo with ENB And SweetFx as both offer a little extra the other does not offer. Will update sometime in the next couple days.

I don't think a saturation injector is really a high concern for them.

Honestly, I wouldn't fret over it much.

What SE is saying is basically use it at your own risk, as they do not advocate the use of any third party program. That's the reason although I badly want a graphics upgrade, I've stayed away from Sweetfx and ENB for MMORPGs. It was the same for GuildWars 2.

Any updates on this? ENB in FFXIV would be sweet!

I'd love to run an ENB preset for this game. I think my new rig would handle it quite well. Don't want to risk a ban though :/ Guess I'll wait for a bit. Too many castrum runs to lose it all now.

Loved the ENB's on skyrim and they ran well on my 560ti

Any word on the SE's position on this application? Are we a go for using it in FFXIV? Anyone been using it and not had an issue?

Utilizing such a tool would not violate any agreements customers have with Square Enix, and we don't plan on doing anything to restrict users from accessing it.

However, we advise that players use this at their own risk. Square Enix does not regulate the content of the aforementioned add-on and will not be responsible for any damage or losses resulting from its use.

<3 Nice to know.

So much for everyone saying it's against TOS.

Haha I love all these posters saying that this is certainly against the agreement, only for SE to actually confirm that it is not. Take note kids, this is the difference between guessing and confirming lol

Awesome to see a community rep comment on this. Thank you Hvinire!

Since we got a dev post on this I might as well ask about this too: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...atencyFix.html

This is supposedly a program that can help with the latency issues people are having, albeit not something that works for everyone is this even allowed? I am not very computer savvy so it would be nice to get a rep response on it simply because I'd love to try it if it is allowed.

It is not a modification of the game and it's data itself but a modification of the inner workings of your OS and thus it is allowed. BUT it is NOT recommended to do this as it actually does decrease the overall network/internet performance. It is way too technical to list here but yeah, there is a reason why such a "lag" feature exists in the first place ;) The only way to reduce the lag is for SE to use UDP instead of TCP with proper mechanisms to ensure the integrity of the data flow between the client and the server.

I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed as it does absolutely nothing to FFXIV (or any game) itself.

Thank you! Can't wait to see a public release to try now <3

You are incorrect.

I've done many tests making the change in the registry whilst monitoring my latency through the performance monitor, and I've come to discover that this "fix" is actually detriment to the game. My latency is always a good 20ms higher on average when using the "fix", and that's not to mention all the other detrimental affects it is having on your system.

Those features were put into Windows by people far far smarter who know more about networking than any of us. It is there for a reason and personally, I don't think you should touch it no matter what the circumstance. But again I can confirm it does not help FFXIV in the slightest, so please don't do it.

Now I want to see a guide of how to put this thing into place. >.> Someone go do it.

Well this was an obvious an expected response!

Anyroad, now I wait until the OP gives us a link to the injector/his settings, etc. Would certainly like to give it a try and see if I like it...

Same, Ive been using SweetFX for a while so Id like to compare them.

I loooooove seeing people like this guy here being wrong. There's just something awesome about it that I can't explain.

It's called backseat modding, and it always makes people look silly when they are found to be wrong.

This is spectacular work! I love the direction you're taking the ENB tool for this particular use case. I very much look forward to seeing it released now that SE's given you the OK on it.

It is a 3d graphic modification for games like TES Skyrim, GTA 4, GTA San Andreas, Deus Ex HR, FSX, and many others. It works by modifying render function calls of the game and applying additional effects.Currently if you just slap the ENBseries into the game, all sorts of uggeh happens, like EXTREME blooms that makes carbies look like a 10,000w light bulb. Props to http://www.enbdev.com/ for makin ENBseries.



As seeing these damn forums only allow a limited number of posts per day, I will update the post below to answer questions asked.

ok this looks pretty boss, I'm gonna try this out when I get home.

Was the method ever posted? I want some antialiasing!

From what the dev has posted, this one feels safe to infer that all non-gameplay affecting addons are permissible by the TOS.

What anime is your sig from? O_O

Edit: As other have said anyone got a quick step by step explanation on how to set this up?

yeah Enb is not against ToS, as i use custom SweetFX that is also not against to the ToS, i did trying getting enbseries to work and it does, but i'm not skilled enough in changing the values in config, also i try make it run different d9d3.dll so i can use sweetfx with the enb but it seems not work when i proxy it. if OP could message me we could work together on this project , i would like to learn more about enb and what values do what, as i'm well versed in sweetfx and custom mods for dlls. that i made my self, things that force different kinds of post processing such as MLAA/FXAA/SMAA with anti shimmer and Improve real time reflection mods also glare and sun ray values that enhance or add more lighting effects that run post processing as well , currently working in progress has some lagg in all games and cliping at moment but does work, just looks horrible... its getting better though. so yeah if you got a alpha version of your ENB so i can learn with you, that be great post it

I look pretty good there.

I believe you're looking at Berserker from Fate/Zero

Can you guys post your config files? It looks awsome.

Now to start working on some UNP/CBBE replacements and we're good to go.

This just turns the nagle algorithm off, which results in packets being sent less than 200ms apart, ultimately it's -not supposed to- fix anything if the developer already turned nagle off. The TCP offload engine may result in neutering said fix anyway or making it worse, in your case. This fix gets thrown about more often in Action based games (eg Mabinogi, Wizardy Online, various FPS games) because these games have really bad network code to begin with. Ultimately it's perceived as cheating in these games because you end up with sub 200ms firing rates, which means the difference of Han shot first.

You download either a generic or pre-set for a game package from the ENB website. After you get that you find the enbinjector.ini file and add the ffxiv.exe as a process.

From that point on it's just start up the ENB injector and then FFXIV.exe and you're good to go. That is assuming you already have a pre-set config for FFXIV. At the moment there isn't any on the site or available via reddit so far that I have found. You can try playing around with say the Skyrim package then editing the config .ini, but it's a tedious process. Not to mention when you load the game up the first time with said config your character looks like they're going to explode with light in every direction.

At best if you don't want to get really involved wait for Serj to post his .ini file or explain which setting package he used and go from there. It's nice because you can use SweetFX concurrently with ENB, although have to be running a decent enough machine.

I used this for skyrim and loved it, I would love to see ENB for FFXIV, I WANT MY DEPTH OF FIELD BACK!

It would be really sucky if SE says "yup you can do it!" then ban you lol. . .Knowing SE they would probably do that hehe

I would love to see an ENB config that brought back DoF to the game and made nights look like... nights. No more stadium lighting wherever I go. Would that last part be possible?
