ENBSeries for Halo (bloom engine mod) Issue...

HEY,

This is an old post! The program discussed in this post is somewhat buggy and incompatible with other utilities. But, there is a MUCH better solution out now!

Check out OpenSauce PostProcessing by FireScythe. It offers bloom, HDR, and other totally awesome and user-customizable effects. You can learn more about it here: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16647

Hi guys, sorry I don't have an intro, you guys don't have an intro section i could use.. anyways...

I recently found this awesome program over at halomods that emulates bloom in halo PC/CE. It works beautifully and is fully customizable.

-It also supports SSAO, Motionblur and Other things, but not with Halo.

Thing is, with Halo 1.08 BOTH PC and CE it closes and Crashes to Desktop about 5 minutes after starting the halo exe( for me at least ) It's extremely frustrating seeing such a beautiful thing in Halo then it all crashes.. : (

... Any clue what it might be, anyone? (If you want my PC Hardware Specs just click the little computer icon thingy on top of my post)

Anyone else tried to use it with Halo 1.08 and see if it works? I have uploaded the version i got from Halomods: HERE

Any takers? I appreciate the help guys. =D

I saw this a while ago, now with my new PC I might actually be able to use it.

Also, it's not just you, I have the same problem.

I also have that problem but I got my updater from the Bungie Post.

This was posted here not too long ago, and I think I remember people having the same problem. Do a search, maybe you can find something. Bloom is nice, but I couldn't get it the way I wanted it through the settings options provided. It's also incompatible with DXTweaker which I use for the camo fix.

Works fine for me with 1.08. However, if Xfire ingame is enabled it won't even start.

It fucks up Sapien as well. I wish i could find a way to remove it.

Replace the old d3d9.dll perhaps?

Same reason Yelo wont work, this is a dll which injects, when it attempts to inject it gets results which are unexpected. Yelo wont work for other reasons too, but still.

Oh, I bet that's it :|

E: Yeah that was it, just disable anything with an ingame screen overlay and it should work fine.

YUP, i JUST FIXED IT! Thanks to that advice!

And Conscars, I did do a search and i didn't really think X-fire was the culprit, then i caved and tried without it, and VOILA!

Thanks guys...

Personally , i have had no problems with it myself since installation , and it does make things look alot nicer depending on the settings.

Which settings do you guys recommend to use?

Sapien actually works fine for me with this installed =/.

Could be Vista x64. With or without it I get random triangles flying all over the place in large rooms and anything with reflections (like the map room in Silent Cartographer) goes insane as well.

Even weirder, decals work fine for me but they have a large performance hit for some reason. Not sure if that is how they work on Geforce 8 cards but I was under the assumption that they didn't work period.

lol... contrails.
