Goes by in a blink, still one of my favorite shooters. Thought we would be playing CG by now. Guess NV was full of S. Pretty cool how SweetFX can pump new life into these old classics.

Could SweetFX allow downsampling??

Damn those Far Cry shots look good. I'm almost tempted to reinstall the game now and give it another play through.

Or do u mean, does sweetfx can make downsampling like the DSFix for dark souls?

ín case u mean. Does SweetFX work WITH Downsampling, in combination. Yes that works, u can use sweetfx with downsampling..

For the other.(like DSFix) NO..

Well it uses a bunch of DLLs. Couldn't it do it? Like DSFix of course, but for every game.

I know it doesn't, but can it?

I tweaked TFL's settings a bit but I'm not sure if I like or not. I sure do like the dark/grit color scheme.

i do not know..But i guess it could work if it gets modified to work with the injector..
But i dont know that..CeJay.dk can answer that question..

Ryman · 10-06-2012, 23:41 | posts: 14 | Location: Scotland UK

I've been using SweetFX for a while now & the few games I've tried work really well for the most part. The only exception really is Crysis 2. The files are definitely in the right place as I notice the colour boost from Vibrance. But the SMAA seems to do very little for the jaggies/aliasing. Guess I need to tweak the settings some more.....

Has anyone tried the injector with a game that requires Games for Window Live? I'm a little scared of trying it myself as I have the same Live account for GFWL & Xbox, but I'm curious how effective it could be with Batman : Arkham City.

ninjafada · 10-06-2012, 23:43 | posts: 277

i have a bug sometime if i have mumble or teamspeak and the game i'm playing crash or i close it and it crash on exit , when i restart the game it doesn't use the dll
i have to shutdown mumble or ts to be able to have the dll loaded
i'm not using the overlay in those softwares
but its not 100% of the time , i'll try to narrow the conditions

This way the injector will still run and if it still does the same, then it's not one of the shaders but the injector that causes this.

You can also try running this earlier version of lumasharpen - It's from before I merged it with SMAA and the other effects and called it SweetFX.

It runs only lumasharpen and nothing else and uses the FXAA injector (without the FXAA shader). It's very fast and the injector is faster because it doesn't do the work required to support SMAA. You can also set it to use pattern 1 which is even faster.

Then check if it does the same.

Note that I still don't have any ideas on how to fix it, but it always helps greatly if you can narrow down the problem first.

reading this, i thought, it might be better to load only shaders that will be use. for example. last version of icenchancer gives the option to do real time changes, and to disable it. when real time is disabled, game goes really faster. maybe if you can put a "searching for sweet spot mode" that we can figure the best config in-game. and other option that loads only shaders that are active. just thinking.

Well bottom one is with FX On. If you liked top one instead, it's game default lol

PhazeDelta1 · 10-07-2012, 00:20 | posts: 9,527 | Location: 90° N

Sh!t, I think i'm going blind.

After looking closely at both, the bottom pic does make the game look better.

Wanny · *Last edited by Wanny; 10-07-2012 at 02:43.*

Well honestly this SMAA doesn't seem to do much and sharpening you got to be careful with it. Still, it's a great tool to make colors to what you want in games. And fake some HDR I guess...

Click to show spoiler

Can make TL2 a bit less bloomish, more dark and less saturated. Of course, if you like colors and saturation, look elsewhere lol.

As I understand there is a color tweaker and a file tweaker with the tool.

Using the color tweaker alone should not result in ban:

Have not checked myself though..

If it only changed colors it might have been allowed but it can also change sunlight intensity which gives players an unfair advantage.

Crysis 2 requires special attention - See the Game compability notes in the SweetFX folder.

Wait I'll just put it here :
"
** Crysis 2 **
Install SweetFX to the main Crysis 2 folder, but move d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini to the bin32 folder.

Then create an autoexec.cfg file in the main Crysis 2 folder and paste the following text into it.

r_FSAA = 0
r_UseEdgeAA = 0
r_PostMSAA = 0

This disables all forms of ingame AA, allowing the injector to work.

It's mainly the EdgeAA in Crysis 2 that causes problems with the quality of SMAA so that needs to be disabled.
You could experiment with the combining either fsaa or msaa with SMAA if you want. It might give better anti-aliasing - might not.

I've played Arkham City for months with injectors - it works great.
LumaSharpen really makes a huge difference in that game.

I know it doesn't, but can it?

But i dont know that..CeJay.dk can answer that question..

The SweetFX Shader Suite is really just a suite of shaders that run using the InjectSMAA injector dll's
To do downsampling like DSfix does it you would need to modify the injector dll's, and that requires the source code and preferably some experience with making proxy dlls - I have neither.

So no, I can't do it like DSfix does it.

But SweetFX does work fine with downsampling if you do downsampling the regular way, where you create a resolution that's higher than your monitors and ask the driver to scale it down for you.
There are guides on this forum that tell you how to do that. I've tried it and it works with all games, although it takes a little work to setup the first time.

Ok Thanks CeeJay

#define USE_DPX 0         //Unfinished - Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor

Hey man I'm using your settings and tweak from these to my taste hope you don't mind hehe. If I ever share them I'll still credit you.

No problem.

Arcania with AA!

(forced AF not working in this game, maybe 'cause POM shader - see Crysis - ?)
