... -HDR effect is not noticable compared to what I was seeing with MGE. ...

i also noticed a difference with hdr and bloom shaders - may it be that the sky box is not affected by any shader?
i cant say that for sure, but i believe i newer saw changing brightness in the sky nor ive seen (even a little) bloom on the clouds.
the pro is that the sky alway looks natural whith no oversaturated colors or an only white horizon, but i think the shaders should include the skybox maybe with 50% opacity.
i might be completely wrong with that though

I take it back. The SSAO Fast effect is a bit subtle but it's not completely undetectable. It's nice and I see few glitches with it.

However, shaders do not work at all indoors - neither SSAO nor DOF and probably not other ones either.

Also, the buggy, solid white circle at the zenith of the sky disappeared when I turned off exponential fogging and switched distant land view distance from 4 to 8.

Lastly, bottle objects seem very opaque and have dark saturated colors. I'm not sure if MGE XE did this or something else.
Earlier, they were translucent. Maybe this is just from NOM I installed recently, sorry...

Hrnchamd I get this error now pretty frequently when loading a save.

Actually I have the latest C++ 2005, 2008, 2010 (both x86 & x64) installed.

The Save completely loads, audio is initialised and then it's crashing:

Hrnchamd, out of curiosity - do you ever forsee this being released as a standalone program, as opposed to something that must be installed over a previous mge build?
