    Guys, can you please tell me how to get rid of this green? Consider me stupid and would you be so kind to explain by examples? Thank you!

    This pretty much confirms what I noticed earlier... it's hard to make UE3 engines works good with SweetFX. Overall it still looks bad lol.

    I tried with Batman AC and ME3 and there's nothing much that can be done... They all have this ugly bloom or fog or whatever it is. They would need a "debloomer" lol

    Which one do you prefer? Any recommendations?

    Mancubus,

    To be honest I dont like those shots from COP. It is too "warm" and too saturated. I prefer vanilla so far.

    a lot of UE games has color correction when is enabled DOF. Turn off dof (in the config) and the game will be much more colorful. Then use SweetFX.

    Hi guys, i love thid inj and use it for all my games. I recently switched to win8 x64 pro. Firstly it was upgrade from win 7 x64pro. All my games stopped working crashing at startup. I thought it was a bad upgrade and has since clean reinstall win8. However it's still crash. Works flawless once inj removed. Has everybody got yours working on win8? I have to admit i find it hard not to play without sweet fx! Finally i shud add all other inj also failed to work ie. D3 dark for diablo 3. I've tried reinstall dx9c redistributable as well. Pls help!! Thanks in advanced.

    I followed the installation and instructions, attempted to put my own settings in and when I got a black screen I came here looking for info, found your settings thinking if I copied someone who got theirs to work, it would fix mine, but I'm getting the same issue. The Guild Wars 2 error window pops up and gives the option to send a report telling what caused the crash, and the game itself has only a black screen.
    Any chance you, or anyone else with better knowledge could help me with this issue?

    SweetFX works wonders for Guild Wars 2. That game is by default such a blurry mess. Guild Wars 2 truly looks like a work of art with this tool.

    Here is how the game looks for me:

    Left is the old look and to the right the new look. I re-sized the picture to a, hopefully, forum acceptable size.

    Sorry for the late reply, but I first had to research the matter.

    You can't just rename the file - that won't work. What Durante did for dsfix was to create a new injector that functioned as a proxy for dinput8.dll instead of d3d9.dll

    I have heard from Skyrim users that using the proxy feature in HiAlgoBoost works.
    I'm unsure if HiAlgoBoost can be used for more than just Skyrim, but it's worth a try - you could also try asking the HiAlgoBoost developers if they know of a solution.

    The HiAlgoBoost FAQ says that to make it work with for Optimus users you must first add the games exe filename to the list of "high-GPU-requirement" programs in the nvidia control panel.
    Before trying to chain HiAlgoBoost and SweetFX, try doing that and see if that is enough.

    I have also heard that chaining it with ENB works for some (but not all) people.

    Huh. For some reason my posts need to get "approved by a moderator", which made my initial post appear some 24 hours later 2 pages back ... I'll therefore quote myself, because I don't expect that anyone will ever read it that way:

    for gw2 you need to set anti-aliasing and depth blur off
    yoreel look where you put sweetfx you have a log.log copy the content here
    be sure to have overlay or osd from any software off

    Don't use Fraps :) Just use the injector to take the screenshot. I had no issues using driver-based FXAA when I used SweetFX to take my screenshots.

    Well that's complete BS. The games I've had the most success using SweetFX on were UE3 games (Borderlands 2 and Dishonored)

    Weeellll yea these games doesn't have that cheap bloom/DOF/fog going on too. Borderlands 2 stays one of the finest looking game I played recently...

    Should have said most of the time...

    Fraps doesnt capture FXAA or SMAA effects at all via screenshots. But it does capture all things when recording a video.

    To take screenies use the injector.

    SweetFX also works wonders in Batman AC - it's incredible how much more detailed and clear it looks after just a bit of sharpening, curves and a little bit of HDR

    You should try it - I'd love to see what you can get out of it.

    Nice thanks removing the DOF really makes thing more great in Batman! Should have played my playthrough without it -_-

    I like Bokeh DOF but not that cheap UE3 DOF.

    Wish we could just keep Bokeh DOF (cutscenes + zoom) and destroy that constant distant blurring in Batman...

    @Ceejay.dk:
    Thanks for the reply, ill look into HiAlgoBoost, ENBseries does not work in my side, i enable the proxy in enbseries.ini, rename the dll but sweetfx is not working, i did the nvidia control panel .exe adding, some games are not in the drivers so for optimus to recognize them, the .exe has to be added and attributed the "use high performance card", but the problem is the way the game is inicialized, when the d3d9.dll form sweetfx is in the .exe folder it switches to intel hd4000.
    Thank you for your input and for your work, i use sweetfx in a lot of games in my desktop, once you try sweetfx you dont look back! ;)
    Cheers
    Ed

    *just tried Hialgoboost and its the same with ENB, proxy doesnt work... :(
    ran instructions to the letter... :(
