SweetFX

[Doowi]

Will have to give SweetFX a try later this evening once I get home from work.

The only game i've seen to actually ban SweetFX is planetside 2 and the reason they gave is because someone was able to make invisible players glow orange using it.....or so they claim.

i've done betas/alphas for a lot of games and I always ask if I can use sweetfx and I always get the generic third party response or "I'll look into it" and never hear from them again.

Yea which was a lie By SOE to get a reason to ban it I still use it in planetside 2 and so do their devs. I also know the actual hack that was used in planetside 2 to see players cloaked and it wasn't sweetfx. Hacks like Hags club allowed you to see players cloaked and were what caused SOE to crackdown on everything they could find they just played it off and threw sweetfx into the mix of things they banned. Sweet fx however wasn't the source of the anti cloak hack If it was i woulden't be supporting it.

Personally I'm rather pissed with the way SOE has handled things to begin with. Rather a half assed attempt to secure their game by just banning everything. Hacks like Hags club need to be shut down to maintain a balanced game and i fully agree i just don't agree banning everything was the right move. This is the hags club hack which is the real reason for the bans they just threw Sweetfx under the bus too due to paranoia after this major hack launched.

If something like this ever hits Defiance I fully endorse a ban, but I hope to see the developers do it quickly and smart and not a massive blanket ban.

i saw people having problem with win8, sometimes the sweetfx files doesn't have the right to write
you can try a right clic on the live folder go to security and check the users rights
if sweetfx is loaded you have a log.log created , if not you have a right problem

most of the game are made for 16-236 colors range because on console you play on tv, the only game i played who didn't need sweetfx was crysis3, bioshock infinite i just tweaked a little

nobody tried my preset ?

I will try yours when I get home looks nice

Both ninjas and Reapers are good presets if you want a nice bump to the game i haven't wrote a lower settings profile because both of theirs are good for if you want a nice bump in game. Mines purely built on the idea of make it as real and detailed as you can go without going overboard. So mine are more geared towards the Eye candy spectrum. Both of their presets save me extra work and allow people a more personalized variety to chose from which is nice. More variety Is nice as long as their isn't too many options then people get confused.

open broadcast is not compatible, it crash
dxtory i think it doesn't record sweetfx
but i don't have the new version so perhaps it change

my preset is aiming to improve so mininal loss in the details in shadow and light
not a big sharpening because it add artefact, the low res textures sux but i won't try to make them hd because the goods one will look worse
and it look better in movement no headache or eyes strain

[Myrken]

Only afew people have had eyestrain and many i know who run mine don't, it totally depends on the person the massive overuse of gray scaling gives me eyestrain and so does the bleaching used. Ive run yours ninja its too bright for my taste. Its simply a preference is all The game default bothers me because it's like staring into a bright fog all the time. My preset boosts detail without artifact's and the loss of detail is not from saturation but shadows covering things that were already dark. In real life you'd have a hard time making out bumps on a dark rock if the rock was in a deep shadow cast by a tree as well. The textures actually aren't that low res but the bleaching makes them appear so hence my saturation and bleaching adjustments. Roads and terrain maps aren't that detailed to begin with tho as far as textures go.

i play with gamma 3 , it's only too bright when the crystals explode, nothing to do here white is white i just look at the ground ^^

[Myrken]

I play at gamma 5 with my boosted settings because it tends to be darker but i find each preset has a gamma it works best around. If the base preset is darker you brighten gamma abit if too bright you darken gamma abit.

I used yours totally killed my eyes lol but some minor tweaks to the sharpness settings and much better Also sweetfx + war thunder = burning eyes lol

[Myrken]

HD boosted is slightly less jaggy than HD so i find it bothers me less did you increase the gamma to 5-6? I have a whole clan running HD boosted and we've been playing for hours no complaints and I'm asking if it bothers anyone everyone here has no issues. I wonder if the monitor might affect the saturation some people get with it. If anyone has Tera Online drop my HD boosted into the binaries folder for that game and try it looks awesome. also gw2 really pops with it.
