SweetFX? Whats the current word on this?

[Dr_Molenbeek]

SweetFX 2.0 does not work for me, the game crash when i launch it.

 

Sad, your screenshots made me drool, 5tuka.

Without using SweetFX I have just adjusted the gamma down to 0.70000 in the startup config. I think it is a good balance because although the cockpit is darker it is by no means too dark IMHO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It may be a good compromise if you don't want to use SweetFX.

I did both, sweet fx and dropped gamma to 0.7. Looks lovely

 That's right I agree. You can also  change the gama of the entire screen and other color settings  from the graphics card panel and have this profile for the game.

Would be useful  to say , before you try anything try first calibrating your screen  through Windows and take it from there for any changes.

"SO where in the instructions of the bugg program are all these written.

 

If you like wasting time it is you way. I prefer not to be a time waster.

 

Program should run without serious problems if not at all.

 

And the only time spend should be the one to set it up and test it.

 

I got better picture bu adjustng screen from my graphic card panel."

And even if you f«;+d your install, just delete the folder

"I did that still messed up game and so on. SO as I sad I prefer not to be a time waster. Even if I answer your quotes..Perhaps will be useful for others concerning the " Sweet -fx" bug program."

My reply:

From the EULA.TXT on the ReShade public beta with SWEETFX 2.0 (the one with the installer, the SWEETFX 1.5 doesnt have one):

#######################################################################

 

The readme file from the SWEETFX 1.51 has a LOOONG section with possibly causes to crashes and errors and even point to the developer forum to get help if nothing works, but the files are listed on the readme and a manual installation and uninstall is described and in the usage section of the readme file it saids:

 

"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."

 

So I dont know how any of the versions could have corrupted so badly your game than even a full wipe doesnt permit a working reinstall. But as someone already pointed out OTHER PROGRAM/S.O. ERROR/HARDWARE MALFUNCTION/DIVINE INTERVENTION is probably the cause and not SWEETFX which I used on the past 2/3 years on several games without great problems, yes, some bugs, or chashes, but nothing major and simply removing the files fixed any problems I encountered.

the SWEETFX 1.5 doesnt have one

 

That' s right. But any way , now people who read this topic can be informed about that.

I also do this instead of using sweetfx, it's looks really nice. I also slightly increase the color vibrance in nvidia control panel to make the game a little bit more colorful, I'm sure there is a similar setting in catalyst.

Yes indeed, you can get some very nice results without using SweetFX

Ive just re-downloaded the latest sweetfx 2.0 (version 1.9) and it works beautifully but I had to tweak 5tuka's settings. Im not sure why but they wouldnt work for me from his download.

Here they are, and man alive it is beautiful.
