DemonZtro ENB v1.0

DOWNLOAD HERE



From the Readme:
This ENB makes use of FXAA injector and a tweaked The Wilds ENB.
// Before anything else ////////
1) Enable this in SkyrimPrefs.ini (required for any ENB):
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
2) Since this already uses FXAA at highest settings I would recommend you disable AntiAliasing, as well as FXAA in your Skyrim Launcher options.
// Installation ///////////////
It's an all in one package. Put everything in this archive in your root Skyrim folder.

// In-game Shortcuts /////////
SHIFT + F12 = DISABLE ENB
PAUSE/BREAK = DISABLE FXAA
NUM * = SHOW FPS
INSERT or PRINT SCREEN = TAKE SCREENSHOT

I highly recommend you download this as well: LINK


Skyrim: fix the double mouse cursor after alt-tabbing


Right-click your Skyrim executable (TESV.exe for vanilla Skyrim or skse_loader.exe if you use SKSE), tick Disable visual themes and press OK.

UPDATE:

It seems the fix above doesn't always work. I found another way to fix this double cursor annoyance though:

In-game, when you need to alt-tab, press the 'tilde key' (usually the key right next to 1, it has symbols such as § or ° depending on your keyboard layout)  to open up the console. This prevents the double cursor from happening.

When you alt-tab back in, there shouldn't be a double-cursor anymore, if there is close and open the console again, then alt-tab in and out again.

FIX: Steam slow loading times

Is Steam loading any page for you extremely slowly? The kind of slow where you could grow a beard while waiting? Then I've got the fix for you.



Steam's web browser is based on WebKit and it uses your computer Internet Settings to know if it should use a web proxy to connect to the outside. This can make loading pages take longer as it tries to resolve your proxy settings. Here's how to fix it though:

1) Go to Control Panel > Internet Options
2) In the Connections tab press the LAN settings button at the bottom.
3) In the window that opens up, untick (disable) Automatically detect settings.
4) Done!

Incidentally, this also makes Chrome be a bit more snappy. Google Support as a nice page for it as well here.
