@ Tonschk:
This is the specific version I use:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ucjbtand6qbcp8k.
If you already have a copy of d3d9.dll in your SH5 directory, back it up first!!! Probably means you're using the antilag fix.
Then just extract the three files into the SH5 root directory (../ubisoft/silent hunter 5/)
You should be good to go ... unless you're missing a few extra dlls. If you're missing these dlls, then you should get a render error on launch which will tell you which dll you're missing. Most likely it'll be one of the two that you mentioned. (d3d9_26 or d3d9_40).
If you're missing either one, just download it from the ENB site (
http://enbdev.com/download_en.htm) and place it in the same root directory (../ubisoft/silent hunter 5/).
Make sure you download from the ENB site -- the dlls are clean.
Now the game should run. When it loads you'll see a verification text in the top left corner of the screen showing that it's running.
To toggle ENB on and off press SHIFT+F12.
To change the settings, edit ENB ini to your preference. To change the colour cast, edit the pallete bitmap with your favourite image editor. For full instructions see the ENB site.
@mookiemookie:
The screenshots don't entirely do it justice, but it is a matter of preference. I like the effects but there are plenty who don't. It's entirely down to you if you use it. It's not my mod so I'm just letting everyone know that it's out there if they choose to use it.
Personally I'd say put it in and have a look. And if you don't like it, pitch it out.
One nice thing though, is that it'll work in just about any DX9 game -- so even if you don't want it for SH5, maybe you'll see a use for it elsewhere?
