    eFX Shader Injector Support Thread [Archive]

    "eFX" was an injector prototype focusing on bringing the most useful features to inject (post processing) shaders into games and improve their graphics.

    Development has stopped in favor of the much more powerful ReShade.
    eFX is no longer supported (and not recommended either). Please instead head over to reshade.me.

    Hi Crosire,

    Thanks for the quick update!

    I just tested FFXIV with 1.9.25. The FPS counter shows up and the effects seem to work, however Insert doesn't remove the FPS counter, and the Pause button causes a quick flicker but doesn't bring up a menu. I haven't changed the eFX.ini at all.

    Running 8.1 x64 if that helps :)

    Edit: Holding the Insert button and then releasing it causes another quick flicker as with the Pause button. FPS counter remains however.

    Edit 2: Switching from Borderless to Full Screen in-game causes a CTD. Probably similar to your note about it crashing on exit.

    Edit 3: Scroll Lock seems to function differently. In SweetFX it acts as a toggle, whereas in eFX it seems to act as a refresher (ie changing SweetFX settings, then hitting Scroll Lock to update them in-game). Sorry for all the edits :)

    i'm having a crash trying to run the ported sweetfx to eFX alpha (SweetFX (v1.5.1) - eFX (v2.0 Alpha 1.9.25)) with Pro evolution soccer 2014(on windows 8.1 x64):

    Hi zenkmander,

    i am wondering how did u manage to get the injector work with ffxiv arr? did you used eFX64.dll or eFX32.dll? And do i need to replace the .ini filename to d3d9.ini as well?

    Hi Crosire,

    I am running with window 7 64 bit. And below is my error log. Sorry for my english. Thanks.

    It's yet another problem with the external tweakbar library I'm using. I'm going to replace that one as soon as possible with something more faster written by myself.
    Any if you want to remove the framerate counter, just disable all menus with "general_menu_enabled" (set it to "false").

    It resets the Direct3D 9 device, which currently for some reason causes a crash, so yeah it's that.

    See the "eFX" config file, it's defined there. To set the toggle key, change "key_effects", to choose the key to reload all shaders edit "key_reload". They are set to the same key at default, so you will notive it refreshing all shaders and toggling at the same time.

    Is there a dump file created, or any entry in the windows event viewer for more detailed information?

    Use eFX32 if the game is 32 bit (which it probably is), otherwise eFX64. This depends on the game not your operating system, but most games are 32 bit these days.
    Did you try to toggle between fullscreen and window more or the other way round? Try to disable "hook_dynamic" (set it to "false") ...

    I have found the problem. it's conflicting with MSI Afterburner.
    If I close Msi Afterburner it will run, otherwise it will crash.
    Game alone without eFX, but afterburner in tray it works without any problems.
    Too bad, now i have to choose between eFX+sweetfs or recording my gameplay.

    LE: other problem I noticed the game crashes you try to get it in window state (ALT+Enter) or minimizing it (ALT+Tab).

    Make sure you get the latest version of eFX (it was updated yesterday), extract all files to the FFXIV game folder (where the ffxiv.exe is), then simply rename eFX32.dll to d3d9.dll. Do NOT rename the ini or anything else. Just that one dll file.

    Thank you very much for clarifying :)

    eFX comes packaged with SweetFX. You just extract them all to the game folder (where the game exe is), and then you can adjust SweetFX_settings.txt accordingly. Make sure you follow the eFX readme. You need to rename one of the DLL files based on the renderer the game uses.

    Also keep in mind that only DX9 is supported at this point, I believe the others are still being implemented (DX10, DX11, OpenGL etc)

    I just changed this but it seems to have the same effect. The toggle key still acts as a reload of all shaders, while the reload key doesn't do anything. Perhaps it's conflicting with the SweetFX keys? Not sure. Here's what I have it set to:

    Code:
    key_effects=145				; VK_SCROLL
    key_reload=19				; VK_PAUSE
    key_settings=45				; VK_INSERT
    key_fps=45					; VK_INSERT
    I should also note that with this setup I no longer get flickering when hitting Pause.

    Please read the post. Only the D3D9 part of SweetFX was converted yet. Anything else requires writing your own shaders in an eFX compatible format.

    I guess you don't have the InjectSMAA injector in the same folder too, so it can't conflict. It should only use these keys if it fails to read the value from the settings file. I will check what's going wrong there (also look in the log if any error messages are created about the configuration).

    It's valid to rename the ini too, eFX will search for an ini of the same name as the dll if it can't find "eFX.ini".

    Hmm there don't seem to be any errors in the log, however it looks like it's repeating 'Loading effect file', as if it still thinks that Effects and Reload are the same key maybe?

    I think I found a workaround for the problem, which seems to also fix issues with the keys not working in other games too. It's going to be in the next update.

    It was a long night of coding for both of us, but Crosire and I got a lot of work done.

    On http://crosire.tk you can find the new 1.9.30 alpha.

    And I have also made a version packed with the latest version of SweetFX
    You can get SweetFX + eFX 1.9.30 here.

    New is DX10/11 support.
    I still haven't gotten to porting the anti-aliasing techniques.

    Note that my version has slightly different keys defined in the efx.ini
    Also note that the default settings enable the explosion shader and a couple of others for testing purposes - you can just change that if you want to play with different effects.

    Crosire any chance that compatibility on Win8.1x64 with MSI Afterburner and also minimizing the game windows (ALT+Tab,ALT+Enter) in Pro evolution soccer will be fixed ?
    They all result crash.

    I haven't tested it with Steam yet, is it possible to run that game without any steam overlays too?

    I need some more information than just this, a log would be nice for example :)

    Programming does not work that way. It's not enough for somebody to say something does not work. It usually takes between 30 minutes up to multiple days until the actual bug is found which is causing this behavior. It's even more hard because I don't own most of the games people have issues with (because I test with those). In case of your issues, I think I know where the problem ist but not why. I can only fix these if all questions are answered.
