More DPX, Marcel?

yes DPX and Tonemap but sometimes is too bright. I must little tweak.

2. So if you play the game for example Full HD 1920x1080 replace the line:

#define SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE float2(1.0 / 1280.0, 1.0 / 720.0)

with

#define SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE float2(1.0 / 1920.0, 1.0 / 1080.0)

3. Then click save

Not doing so may result in a CTD.

That code is only there to ensure it compiles right when not using the injector - that is .. when I'm debugging it.
It will not be activated when using SweetFX normally. It even says so in the comments :

Code:

#ifndef SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE // It's actually set on runtime, this is for compilation time syntax checking.
#define SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE float2(1.0 / 1280.0, 1.0 / 720.0)
#endif

I very strongly doubt that it can cause a CTD because that should be impossible.

EDIT:
Also don't overwrite the SMAA.h file in SweetFX with the newer SMAA.h v2.7 file.
That will only cause problems because you'll be mixing the textures from the 2.6 version with the shader from the 2.7 version - They are not fully compatible.

Ok I played through Bioshock 1 and finished it with sweetfx with smaa, luma sharpening, hdr, dpx and vibrance on. It looked great with a few tweaks and didn't have any odd graphical errors that I noticed. So then I started the second game with the same config and I'm getting this effect in the image below when luma sharpening is enabled (left is with it off and right is when its on). I would like this setting left on as it makes the game look just a little bit better. Its seems to only affect the underwater parts of the game so I'm thinking it has something to do with the particles handled by the havok physics in the water but I'm not sure. Let me know if this can be fixed or if I'm just going to have to live with luma sharpening off.

@Neo could you post your Deus-EX settings looks very good. @Marcel @Neo do any of you guys by chance have settings for the DC Universe online mmo, would be cool to get some settings for that 1.

Those weren't my Deus Ex HR settings. I beat that game long before I knew about sweetfx. My attempts to hack in my usual no-clip weren't very successful so I doubt I'll be screenshotting that game much.

The person you're after is WelshPixie, and it appears as though she is using the settings from this thread.

@Neo thx again, wish someone could do a DCUO setting that game looks like crap maybe no hope even with SweetFX lol.

CoalBlackend i gonna download it and give you a setting
but 16GB hmm time to sleep a little

Can anyone tell me how these work? I'm having trouble adjusting the AA for GTA IV(using these exact settings in IV)

Code:

#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.15           // [0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 32      // [0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 6  // [0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0        // [0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners.

// -- Advanced SMAA settings --
#define COLOR_EDGE_DETECTION 1        // [0 or 1] 1 Enables color edge detection (slower but slightly more acurate) - 0 uses luma edge detection (faster)
#define SMAA_DIRECTX9_LINEAR_BLEND 0  // [0 or 1] Using DX9 HARDWARE? (software version doesn't matter) if so this needs to be 1 - If not, leave it at 0.

yesterday i try SMAA for Spec Ops and best work these settings for me but with downsampling from 1440p

]#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.05 // [0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 80 // [0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 16 // [0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0 // [0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners.

@CoalBlackend i do not have DC Universe :/

Oh wow! That is the weirdest bug I've seen yet.
I'll need the game or a demo of it to figure out what the problem is.

Is there a demo of Bioshock 2?

Possible workarounds (which might/might not work) I can think of:
1. Chain SweetFX after another similar tool, like ENB.
2. Fiddle with the Bioshock 2 settings to see if it's caused by a specific effect.
3. Try different patterns for lumasharpen (this probably won't fix it, but may make the effect less obvious)
4. Try the next release of SweetFX and use the fxaa injector instead to see if that helps. Or try FXAA tool now to see if that has the same problems, since that also uses the same FXAA injector. If that fixes it , then I can fix it too for SweetFX.
5. Try running SweetFX using RadeonPro - though if I'm not mistaken you have a Nvidia card, so you can't do this.

Try to remember the other game this happens with. Maybe I have one of them so I can test it.

EDIT:
Alternatively people may gift games to my Steam account

My birthday (30th November) is comming up.

@ninjafada thx for the reply on DCUO, that's the prob with game it seems washed out and just looks bad over all.@Marcel it's a free down load but it is 16g

I just cant't seem to get it to look right was hoping some1 from here that knows a lot about good colors could fix it. so many good settings for games here that I re-guard some of u as (artist).

ninjafada · 11-13-2012, 14:42 | posts: 277

the game doesn't have lot of light sources and colored textures
try my settings if you need more color or more contrast just ask
i gonna test a little more later
the game doesn't look that bad, swtor is worst :p but ok its not like gw2 or ff14

@CeeJay.dk your steam wishlist is up-to-date ?

edit done more test for DCUO

so i tweaked a little more

The InjectSMAA injector could only add SMAA .. now it can do a whole lot more.
But if you can use RadeonPro you should be able to use that instead and hopefully make that work with SoftTH.

My god, you're right!!!! SweetFX runs via RP with no problem in DCS for me. I just assumed I'd run into the same d3d9 conflict problem, but it seems using RP gets around it. Woohoo!

It will not be activated when using SweetFX normally. It even says so in the comments :

Code:

#ifndef SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE // It's actually set on runtime, this is for compilation time syntax checking.
#define SMAA_PIXEL_SIZE float2(1.0 / 1280.0, 1.0 / 720.0)
#endif

I very strongly doubt that it can cause a CTD because that should be impossible.

EDIT:
Also don't overwrite the SMAA.h file in SweetFX with the newer SMAA.h v2.7 file.
That will only cause problems because you'll be mixing the textures from the 2.6 version with the shader from the 2.7 version - They are not fully compatible.

Understood, that's why I rubbed out the smaa.h bit... I was just a bit hopeful at the time and after reading fully and consulting with you (in the previous post) realised that 2.7 was incompatible.

Also, the change of resolution bit was because I faced a similar problem when I was only using injectSMAA, but I guess you've sorted that out.

can i use sweet fx with online gaming? such as black ops 2? or online cheat systems will sht on me?

As you do, where you install the SweetFX to work with RP. Thanks

I'll need the game or a demo of it to figure out what the problem is.

Is there a demo of Bioshock 2?

Possible workarounds (which might/might not work) I can think of:
1. Chain SweetFX after another similar tool, like ENB.
2. Fiddle with the Bioshock 2 settings to see if it's caused by a specific effect.
3. Try different patterns for lumasharpen (this probably won't fix it, but may make the effect less obvious)
4. Try the next release of SweetFX and use the fxaa injector instead to see if that helps. Or try FXAA tool now to see if that has the same problems, since that also uses the same FXAA injector. If that fixes it , then I can fix it too for SweetFX.
5. Try running SweetFX using RadeonPro - though if I'm not mistaken you have a Nvidia card, so you can't do this.

I've noticed this with Sleeping Dogs & Shogun 2 and the culprit for me was Lumasharpen.

EDIt:...and er...where's the new version ofSweetFX?

i gonna test a little more later
the game doesn't look that bad, swtor is worst :p but ok its not like gw2 or ff14

@CeeJay.dk your steam wishlist is up-to-date ?

OMG! you guys are being serious - I'm getting added to tons of steam friends lists and I even got a steam game gift.

As with most steam users wishlists .. no - it's not. A lot of them are currently there from last years christmas sale because you had to have at least 10 items in your wishlist.
I'll try to update it.

there are games where is allowed with not too much tweak like big gamma to see people in the dark
for black ops 2 they said any mod will result of a ban , but it's so ugly in mp i won't take a chance :p
