    Howdy Friends!

    I am only just now getting back into the game but I love to tweak and hack. I have found a couple of methods to significantly improve performance as well as graphics for EnB...especially with regards to multi-sessions. 

    My Rig: 3 year old high end (for 3 years ago) gaming rig.

    Latest at the time Core i7 CPU

    32gb ram

    Nvidia GTX 980 GPU

    2 1TB Samsung SSD Drives

    Note: I am not sure if RTSS will work with AMD GPUs...the following is based on my Nividia powered system. 

     

    The Problem:

    Enb is an old game and with new hardware the frames per second runs off the charts. This causes lag and instability with subsiquent sesssions and even on a high end machine causes stutters and other artifacts when using other applications. In a nutshell its 100% wasted GPU power. 

    You can see your fps like this ingame by typing in /fps and hitting enter.....

    FIX:

    Install RTTS and limit the FPS

    Once you install RTSS Open it and select Framerate Limit. Put in whatever you like (I go with 60) and hit enter.

    Using those extra GPU cycles for better graphics:

    Lets take a close look at Force's (My PS) wings...

    Ugly Jagged lines. The same thing can been seen in structures, stations, avatar appendages, Just about anything that is stationary. 

    AFTER:

    The FIX:
    Open Nividia settings > Adjust Image Settings with preview. Select the bottom radio button and move the slider all the way to quality. 

    There are many many other tweaks available in Manage 3D settings but this is the easiest way.....you will need to relaunch the game to reflect changes.

    Another thing that is worth mentioning is for first time log in with all characters you will need to adjust the graphics settings in the game. Otherwise you will have very ugly blurry textures. This is a very common fix and known to a lot of players but just in case you didnt know.....

    Example:

    Default Settings Ship Texture and Decals:

    AFTER:

    FIX: GO to Options > Graphics > Uncheck the "Use Recommended Values and move all the sliders but the first one to max.

    Was a bit rushed typing this out before I have to leave for work but I hope this helps someone out!

    Sounds about right. I got wine to compile with the horrendous hack in it but cant figure out/gave up trying to get it to install properly on my system. This is after 15 or more attempts to install. Ill try again after a break.

    So to summarise: EnB works only in 1.3.x wine, it does not install in 1.4.x and necessitates a horrendous hack in 1.5.x. OK.

    if someone is doing own WINE compiling, then this hack allows EnB to run with latest wine.
    This will punch gigantic hole to WINE ssl connection so be warned.

    Man I have all this installing and launching reliably but I still cant get past the INV-300 error. 

    I dont know if this thread is still moving at all but thought I would ask. 

    I get the following error when launching. I tried just launching net7proxy alone just to see and it reproduced the error. 

     

    winsock:interface_bind Failed to bind to interface, receiving broadcast packets will not work on socket 0074.

     

    Also during Net7 install it said it failed to make registry changes. Is anyone aware of the registry changes so I can make them manually....is this causing my issue?

     

    Thanks so much in advance for any assistance offered. 

     

    PS this is running on wine 1.5.
