CS.RIN.RU - Steam Underground Community

This is actually a thread I posted somewhere else, I am hoping I can get some feed back here?

Thanx in advance

QUOTED from a Topic on another board




Here is my follow up

Problem FlightFX is not working with all all the presets that I have in reference too what games I would like to use, like Black Ops 2

Anyone know of a program filters that works indefinitely with all presets MODS?

In other words, what is the universal program that is used for filtering presets for SweetFX?

I am hoping some of you members here can fill me in on what program I need to filter these preset MODs for SweetFX

SweetFX disabled picture looks so much better!

Both look like bad first too dark secound to bright. Still if i had to pick one i would say the one with Sweetfx looks better.

Still SweetFX is kinda pointless you can hav similar effect with making game darker with game options...

Thanks @I am AWESOME for making this gif i will use it till 19th May

I've never liked SweetFX or similar. Cranking up saturation, turning down gamma and/or adding sharpen doesn't make the game "better", but just "different". In a wrong way.

For some games its a must have for some its not, for example i cannot imagine playing guild wars 2 without sweetfx.

Use for DAI, it will make graphics much better.

What program do you use to filter the SweetFX texture MODS???



What's DAI?



I can tell you one thing... the game looks alot more sexier running the SweetFX mod, than without it

SweetFX MOD enabled



MAPs llok more crisp an gun detail looks more vibrant

There are couple of tools that you can use to configure SweetFX settings:
SweetFX Configurator:

The biggest problem with presets is, that everyone has different monitor setting, different graphics card, different ingame settings and a different taste and while the preset looks like in the screenshot for the original creator, it might look totally different for someone else.

Default monitor values, default ingame settings should be a requirement for any preset shared but many simply forgot about it.

Of course does SweetFX make a difference but i would recommend to do your own preset for every game that fits your taste and needs instead of using presets from the internet for the reason above but you can use them as a base to work from there if you don't know what to change into which direction.

I use SweetFX only to remove ugly fog, give more detail and sharpness to the image and make it look more clean overall, i rarely change the default colors or saturation except for the colors look washed out for some reason.

Indeed. I always make my own presets for games. For those who want to try someone elses configs here is SweetFX settings database:

Thanx for the in depth explanation

I usually get the down loaders preset, then improve on it, weather I decrease or increase a setting in their preset, I always tweak it to my satisfaction.

I just use their preset as a stepping stone.

I too use SweetFX too get rid of that freaking fog, don't know why these fps games (especially COD) incorporate it into their games in the first place?

Black Ops II was just about the only COD I've seen that was not hammered with that smoggy fog effect.



I originally started with Radeon Pro, did not like the way the program handled the MOD, that's why I went with FlightFX, but I've noticed that FlightFX is not working with a couple if games that I have (Black Op II) thou the games in question are on the approved list too use SweetFX on them.

SweetFX Config is OK, but it lacks the GUI like FlightFX does, an that program also gives me problems with some games when filtering the MOD presets, thou the games are approved to play with SweetFX.

I am guessing these are the only programs available to use SweetFX in?

In regards too running Call of Duty W.A.W., M.W.2, M.W.3 without a texture MOD, you would be crazy not to do so, game looks 10x better.

On a side note, does anyone have a working Modern Warfare 3 FOV changer, or perhaps a FOV changer for M.W.2?

Crosire's ReShade uses SweetFX too.

Personally, i'm partial to ENBSeries.

But I can't tell you how well/if it works because I don't play COD games. Maybe you could give it a try

ReShade is excellent. Regarding the original post, I like the untouched better because the dark of the modified pic is hiding detail in the pitch black and also, it makes the scene look completely different; changing the time of day. But that's just me. I like to use injectors like these for getting rid of AA, scanlines for games in which you can't get rid of all jaggies, pixel borders to hide flickering, smoothing out textures or text that are too low rez, and adding gaussian bloom so most of my games look gorgeous. I don't really like using it to completely change the whole scene.

Is this Reshade a new name for SweetFX 2.0?

I am trying to get this Reshade to work with Resident.Evil.Revelations.2
, it appears to have injected into my game, yet I see no sighs of graphical improvment.

I don't know why are these presets that SeeetFX designers produce are done with different versions of SweetFX, thats so many other versions you have to turn too to get the preset MOD too work for whatever game you are trying to play... an there is no guarantee it will work.

So far I had been through like 4 different GUI for using SweetFX presets, thou... I do like FlightFX sweet looking user GUI it fails to work with a multitude of games, actually I have only gotten it too work with one game an that's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

I wish there was just one solid universal program to use for these presets.
