ENB series for v1.0.7.0 (Steam) not working

[ravenmorpheus]

Hey there

 

I've recently purchased GTA IV on Steam as it was in a sale with the 1st 2 GTA's, SA, VC and EFLC for £5.

 

 

I've seen many people using ENB series on GTA IV v1.0.7.0 and tried to get ENB series to work and have tried many different versions but none of them seem to work for me.

 

The problem I get is that the HUD, text and menus all flicker and are generally unreadable and in general the game is unplayable.. When I turn off ENB by using Shift+F12 the problem goes away so I know it's ENB that is the problem.

 

However, and here's the odd thing - when the game came out originally I bought it on retail DVD, but due to my penchant for wanting to preserve my DVD's I patched it up to 1.0.3.0, left it at that and I've used the no-cd patch for 1.0.3.0 ever since so I don't keep having to put the DVD in my drive.

 

And on that DVD version install ENB series works find - I've currently got a version of ENB by someone called Gionight installed, but the game is only v1.0.3.0.

 

 

 

So I don't understand why on my Steam copy of the game which is v1.0.7.0 ENB does not work - I've even tried the downgrade to v1.0.4.0 method but the same issue still persists.

 

 

Please could someone give me some help on this as I'd really like to get ENB series working on my Steam version and ditch the DVD install I've got.

 

 

Just in case anyone asks (the forums here seem to full of people citing hardware/OS as being a cause of most problems, rather erroneously imo) here are my PC specs -

 

AMD Phenom X4 955 BE 3.2ghz

Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB

8GB RAM

Windows 7 64bit

 

 

Thanks.

Steam is crap. It´s just that simple. You better use retail versions.
