SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread

This is the official release thread for SweetFX.

Current version is 1.3

You can download it here on Guru3D's mirrors, or on dropcanvas. It's also on Skyrim nexus (where you can also find older versions).

On Dropcanvas you can also find versions of my shaders that will work with Media Player Classic so you can use them to improve movie watching as well.

I'll be posting new releases here and you can discuss SweetFX and share settings here too (use the code tag and optionally the spoiler tag when posting settings).
We are also very happy to see your screenshots but try not to post full size screenshots as they break the forum format. Post images no wider than 1024 pixels that link to the full size screenshots instead. If you post a lot you may also consider using the spoiler tag.

News and links
There is a great SweetFX Borderlands 2 specific guide on youtube by TheAdipose. So if you have trouble figuring out the instructions in the SweetFX readme, maybe seeing it being used and configured will help.
He's just making started a series of new guides for SweetFX:

Part One - what is sweetfx?
Part two - your first tweaks

And over in the overclock.net forums, the moderator TFL_Replica have also posted tons of screenshots and it's also a good place for support if no one here was able to help you.

Also youtuber Quicksh0tHD did a interview with me.

Terrasque have made a GUI tool that makes it easier to install and configure SweetFX. He calls it SweetFX Configurator

Those of you with an AMD card will be happy to learn that the latest RadeonPro beta now supports SweetFX and can run all the effects without relying on the InjectSMAA injector.
This makes it easy to use with RadeonPros many other cool features, but most importantly this also works with 64bit executables, which the InjectSMAA injector that SweetFX currently ships with does not.
It is however an AMD only tool :( otherwise I would probably have chosen to it as the default injector I develop SweetFX for.

What is it?
So in case you're new to SweetFX Shader Suite (or just SweetFX), it's a mod built on the InjectSMAA shader injector, that allows you to apply a suite of post processing shader effects to your games.

You may have tried another shader injection mod before, like InjectFXAA, InjectSMAA or FXAAtool. SweetFX improves upon all of these.

You can add SMAA anti-aliasing , sharpening and tweak the color, gamma , exposure and more.
It's meant to allow you to improve the look of your games and change the look and mood of it to your liking.
If you use SMAA antialiasing instead of MSAA or an even more expensive antialaliasing technique you can also make the game run faster (than with MSAA)

Effects included:

* SMAA Anti-aliasing : Anti-aliases the image using the SMAA technique - see http://www.iryoku.com/smaa/
* LumaSharpen : Sharpens the image, making details easier to see
* Bloom : Makes strong lights bleed their light into their surroundings
* HDR : Mimics an HDR tonemapped look
* Technicolor : Makes the image look like it was processed using a three-strip Technicolor process - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor
* Cineon DPX : Makes the image look like it was converted from film to Cineon DPX. Can be used to create a "sunny" look.
* Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)
* Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)
* Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.
* Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.
* Sepia : Sepia tones the image - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepia_tone#Sepia_toning
* Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vignetting )
* Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditheri...age_processing )
* Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

It works with all 32bit DirectX 9 , 10 and 11 games (and many applications).

It works with all graphics cards as long as they support at least shader model 3.

It does NOT work with 64bit game executables - use the 32bit version of your game if it gives you a choice between 32 and 64bit.

It should work on Windows 2000 and newer, both 32bit and 64bit. So far tested working on WinXP , Vista and Win7. Windows 8 is untested - please report your findings (So far it seems to function if users edit their folder permissions first)

It may work on Linux using Wine - please report your findings.

It does not work well with most programs that overlay an image onto the game. It has a workaround for the Steam overlay so that will work, and you can make overlays based on Rivatuner OSD work as well with a compability setting in those overlays , but other overlays may prevent SweetFX from making changes to the image or outright crash the game - turn those off.

   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.   

  /                      Installation                           /

  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/



1) Extract or copy all the files into the directory of a game exe (keeping the file structure intact).



The installed files are:

   d3d9.dll                 - DirectX 9 proxy dll that will inject shaders into DirectX 9 games

   d3d9.fx                  - DirectX 9 specific shader code

   dxgi.dll                 - DirectX 10/11 proxy dll that will inject shaders into DirectX 10/11 games

   dxgi.fx                  - DirectX 10/11 specific shader code

   injector.ini             - Settings for the shader injector dlls - you can reconfigure the keys used in this file

   SweetFX readme.txt       - This readme

   SweetFX_preset.txt       - You can choose which settings file to load here - default is to load SweetFX_settings.txt

   SweetFX_settings.txt     - SweetFX settings. Effects can be turned on and off here, and their settings can be tweaked.

   

   SweetFX/ (directory)     - The SweetFX subdirectory. All the shaders, except d3d9.fx and dxgi.fx are stored here.

   |- /Presets/             - Presets are stored here.

   '- /Game_Compability.txt - Can't make SweetFX work with a game? - You can find help here.



   log.log                  - This logfile is not installed, but will be created when the DirectX proxy dll runs.

                              If something goes wrong, this file will usually tell you why.



Some games require special attention - You can find a list of those and instructions on how to get them working with SweetFX 

in SweetFX/Game_Compability.txt

If you encounter a game not in the list that requires more effect to work with SweetFX, post about it in the official thread

on Guru3d : http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=368880

                            

2) Install the latest DirectX update if you haven't already

   Last I looked it was here : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

   (You don't need any of the other stuff Microsoft tries to push - just DirectX)                            







   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.   

  /                          Usage                              /

  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/

  

It will automatically run when you start the DirectX 9, 10 or 11 game that you added SweetFX to.

If you want to run different game with SweetFX then you need to install to that games directory too.



It does not modify any game files either on disk or in memory.

Instead it uses a custom Direct3D runtime dll which the most DirectX games will call.



PRINTSCRN saves a screenshot named ScreenshotXXXX.bmp in the directory you installed SweetFX to.

SCROLL_LOCK switches it ON and OFF. It starts in ON mode.

PAUSE reloads the shader files (this is useful when you need to tweak the settings while the game is running)



Keys can be reconfigured in the injector.ini file.



Some keyboards (mostly on laptops) don't have a dedicated SCROLL_LOCK button,

but require you to hold down the Fn button while you press another key to activate Scroll Lock.



If you can't figure out the right combination just from looking at your keyboard and experimenting,

then read the documentation for your keyboard or just reconfigure the keys in injector.ini





   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.   

  /                      Tweaking settings                      /

  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/



You can choose which effects to enable, and set their parameters

in the SweetFX_settings.txt file - this can even be done while the game is running.



1) Switch away from your game with ALT+TAB or WIN+TAB

2) Open SweetFX_settings.txt in any text editor - fx. : Notepad (I use Notepad2)

3) Edit the settings and save.

4) Switch back to your game with ALT+TAB or WIN+TAB

5) If the game is running in fullscreen mode then it will now have reloaded the shader files

   and your new settings have been applied.

   If the game is running in Windowed mode then you need to press the PAUSE key to reload the shader files

   and apply your new settings.

   

And naturally you don't have to start the game before you edit your settings.

It can be done before the game runs as well.   





   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.   

  /                          Presets                            /

  '-----------------------------------------------------------'/

SweetFX has a preset feature. Presets are just settings files made for a specific game, series of games or a special purpose.

Many (most) of these are made by the users of SweetFX.



I include some of these in /SweetFX/Presets/



They are a good start if you need help finding the settings that are just right for you.



The preset feature works like this:

1) SweetFX looks in SweetFX_preset.txt , which tells it what settings file to include (load)

2) It then includes (loads) those settings.



Per default the contents of SweetFX_preset.txt is a single command:

#include "SweetFX_settings.txt"



This tells SweetFX to load the settings in SweetFX_settings.txt



To load different settings simply point to a preset.



Fx. to use the awesome Torchlight2_TFL.txt preset by TFL that is intended to make Torchlight 2 look,

darker, dirtier, grittier and all-around more "evil" simply change the #include line to :

#include "SweetFX/Presets/Torchlight2_TFL.txt"



Note that although presets are often intended for a single specific game, they can be used in any game you wish.



To make your own preset simply copy the SweetFX_settings.txt file, rename it whatever you'd like, and point the #include line to its location



For example :

1) Make a copy

2) Rename it mycustom_preset.txt

3) Move it to the Presets folder (you don't HAVE to do this - this is just to keep the files organized)

4) Change the #include line to :



#include "SweetFX/Presets/mycustom_preset.txt"



If you make a really good preset please share it with other users in the SweetFX release thread at :

http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=368880



Similar to the other presets try also to include some details about your preset



Game: What game(s) you made this for

SweetFX version: What SweetFX version you made this for

Author: Your name

Description: "Your description goes here"

Showcase: Have screenshots or a video that showcases your preset? - put a link here.





   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.   

  /                         Problems?                           /

  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/



When the mod starts it creates a log.log file next to it's own location.

Open the log with a text editor and see what the problem is.



If no log file is created then the mod did not start.

- Maybe you didn't put the files in the right location?

- Or maybe the game doesn't use DirectX?



Most games use DirectX 9, 10 or 11.

Notable games that use OpenGL (which SweetFX doesn't work with) are all games by id software,

and those games based on their 3D engines.





Q: It says d3dx9_43.dll is missing

A: You need the latest DirectX 9 update.

   See step 2) of the installation section.

   

Q: It does not run with the 64bit version of my game exe.

A: SweetFX is not compatible with 64bit versions of games - use a 32bit version.



Q: My game crashes with SweetFX installed.

A: The log.log file will most likely tell you why.

   If no log file is created but it still crashes with SweetFX installed and not without, then it's likely crashing because it can't write to the log file.

   This is usually caused by insufficient user permissions in the game folder you installed SweetFX to.

   

   Try running the game as an administrator or change the folder permissions to grant your user account write access.

   

   This issue is mostly seen on Windows Vista, 7 and 8 with games that install to the program files folder, since Vista, 7 and 8 normally restricts write access to that folder.

   User accounts on Windows XP usually have administrator rights and don't see such problems (however letting user accounts have administrator rights can be a security risk

   which is why Microsoft changed that beginning with Vista).



Q: I don't see any change in the image

A: Try turning off anti-aliasing in the game (not in the mod)

   The mod is not compatible with some antialias implementations.

   It might be made compatible by setting compability flags.

   

   If not then you can always use the included SMAA anti-aliasing.



   

Q: How do I make MSI Afterburner / EVGA Precision / Rivatuner OSD work with this mod?

A: To make MSI Afterburner work with this mod and others like it you need to :



1) Update to the latest version of MSI Afterburner.

2) Start MSI Afterburner.

3) Switch to the "MSI On-Screen Display Server" window.

4) Create a new profile for your game and change to it.

5) Click the big wrench icon to change advanced settings.

6) Go to General -> Compatibility properties and turn on "Enable compatibility with modified Direct3D runtime libraries".



MSI Afterburner is now compatible with shader mods.



You can also change the setting for the Global profile,

but MSI does not recommend this because it might prevent some Direct3D applications from starting.



The same (very similar) steps also work with EVGA Precision and Rivatuner OSD,

as all 3 tools are based on Rivatuner OSD.





Q: How do I use SweetFX with ENBseries?

A: By making ENB run SweetFX. You need to: 



1) Rename d3d9.dll to sweetfx_d3d9.dll

2) Install the ENB series files into the same directory

3) Edit enbseries.ini so the top section looks like this:



[PROXY]

EnableProxyLibrary=true

InitProxyFunctions=true

ProxyLibrary=sweetfx_d3d9.dll



That should do it.



Q: How do I use SweetFX with OpenGL games?

A: SweetFX only supports DirectX 9 , 10 and 11 games, however you can use a OpenGL to DirectX wrapper.



Try the QindieGL wrapper : http://code.google.com/p/qindie-gl/

It can translate OpenGL calls to DirectX 9 calls that SweetFX will work with.

It does not work with all OpenGL games and some games it does work with will have buggy graphics

and it will likely run slower since it's being translated, but if you want to try out SweetFX with OpenGL games this is probably your best bet.

I haven't tried it myself yet so let me know if it works or not.



Q: How do I use SweetFX with DirectX 8 games?

A: SweetFX only supports DirectX 9 , 10 and 11 games, however you can use a DirectX 8 to DirectX 9 wrapper.



Try the DX8 to DX9 convertor from ENBseries : http://enbdev.com/download_en.htm

Let me know if it works for you.



Q: How do I use SweetFX with games that use DirectX 7 or older or even Glide?

A: Again you need to find a wrapper that will translate the API that the game uses to one that SweetFX supports.

Roadmap and Screenshots

Roadmap:

Next version:

Hotkeyed presets (hopefully - I keep pushing this back because more interesting stuff grabs my attention).
Subpixel dithering
CRT-like patterns - Scanlines and/or shadow mask - look
Ability to set the Vignette width/height ratio
More S-curve formulas

Near Future:

Different simple ways of adjusting the color of a scene. I'm thinking White balance correction and split toning.
White balance could be used to remove an overall tint to the scene - which should make at least Battlefield 3 gamers happy (the game has a very apparent blue tint) , though the defog feature in the current tonemap shader could also be used to the same effect and I think the Lift-Gamma-Gain shader could also be used for that.

Future:

Advanced color grading .. I'm looking into way to adjust the colors using splines, but currently it looks like it would run quite slow and be hard to understand and tweak for most users. The easy and fast way to do color grading would be to load a texture and use it as lookup table which is what ENBseries does, but since the InjectSMAA injector does not allow me to do that, I'm forced to look at other options.
A better faster bloom shader.
I'm also hoping to improve LumaSharpen by using a curve function to determine the sharpening strength and I also want to try out sharpening against the median instead of the average of the surrounding pixels, to hopefully avoid sharpening noise and lessen sharpening greatly on harsh edges, such as the ones that SMAA antialiases - hopefully this will make LumaSharpen stop messing with the smoothness of the anti-aliased lines.

I vote for a sticky as well.

do overlays work with sweetFX, such as evga precision osc? i know it doesn't work for the smaa injector, and would love to use a tool such as this but i NEED my on screen display to work ;)

Awesome tool.

I do have two questions:

Can it be made to work with the overlay for evga precision? It "works" but the OSD for precision won't display.

Second, has anyone had luck getting it to work with Torchlight2? From the log files, it initiates but there's no difference on screen.

Sweet mother of god theres an update!!! Thanks :D

Of course it can be made, you just have to adjust some settings..
Should be the same with EVGA Presicion..

1. Go to the RTSS icon in teh Taskbar and right klick it --> SHOW

http://www.abload.de/img/101pt4.jpg

2. In there You add the Game via the + symbol in the lower left corner..After that mark it and go to the Wrench symbol..see here:

http://www.abload.de/img/2i4o7v.jpg

After that the window with the settings should pop open.
Now u just have to do what is marked in the screen..enable the combability mode for d3dbla bla dll...

save it and you are good to go..

I hope that helps a bit :)

-BetA-

Edit:

@ vis

It works in torchlight here..see comparsion here:

No SweetFX:
http://www.abload.de/thumb/torchligh...92118s9x9x.jpg

With SweetFX:
http://www.abload.de/thumb/torchligh...9211865bmn.png

just drop the sweetfx files into the torchlight 2 install folder where the Torchlight2.exe is..

If u compare screenshots made form afterburner and see no difference in them, thats because afterburner cant pic that up somehow..u can use FRAPS, it does pic sweetfx shader up, so u can see it in teh screens..i used fraps for them..

Try to see if the advice for MSI Afterburner (in the SweetFX readme) will work for Evga Precision.

EDIT : .. what BetA said.

2) If it initiates but there is no difference then it usually a compability problem with the in-game anti-aliasing.

Try switching that off or to another mode and make sure you are not forcing AA on with the graphics driver or a third-party program.

On nvidia cards compability bits may also allow you to still use in-game anti-aliasing.

I use SGSSAA forced via NV Drivers and bits..and on top of that i use sweetFX, so it should work..And EVGA Precision also works teh same afterburner is..the statistics server is just named different, but the rest is the same, so you should follow teh Tut form me and it will work.

If not feel free to bug me, hehe..

Can confirm EVGA Precision works with this.

Nice package, I'd vote this for sticky(as far too many useful tools are getting ignored down the forums).

Thanks Ceejay! Vote for sticky.

hmm cant get the injectors to work on win8 pro. smaa,fxaa,sweetfx none work for me :(

Thanks for starting a new thread! :)

Stick it from here to eternity :D

neat, i'll give it a try :}

Ceejay what settings for nvinspector do you advise in terms of AA ?

I don't mess much with nvidia inspector because I mostly game on my AMD 6870 and my nvidia cards are not fast enough for exotic aa-modes, but other users have also reported to be very happy with the 8xSGSS + SMAA hybrid.
If you want the maximum quality and have a card fast enough for SGSS then it's probably the best solution. You could even combine it with downsampling if you have a monster GPU.

Personally I need more comparisons.
