SweetFX in Arma 3

Recommended Posts

Well mine is the question of the game not even starting. Which is weird...

My Arma 3 isn't launching either (with SweetFX).

UPDATE #1:

Just found out why:

Q: I keep getting an error when using DX11 on Win 8.1 RTM?

A: The dxgi.dll needs to be updated to support some DXGI changes that Win8.1 introduced. Future versions of the injector should have Win8.1 support. You can still use DX9 games with SweetFX under Win8.1, and some DX10/11 games still work on Win8.1. RadeonPro also works.

I was asking myself if i can play arma online with sweetfx on, is it interpreted as cheat by the game? Do i risk my id-key? I don't wanna be banned for a simple visual improvement.

Me and a pal have been playing online with sweetfx with no trouble, Can't play without it. Don't think it is an issue..

Doesn't this slaughter your framerate?

Yes, it is true . SweeFx reduce your FPS but it also depends on your settings.

I tried sweetfx +eFX, as it works on rome2, ac4 and (I suppose) bf4. It doesn't on arma3 :/

No ways to use it with win8.1?

I tried this myself (well eFX only at the moment, when I couldnt get SweetFX to work at all) and I get the eFX logo at the start. Unfortunately nothign seems to happen in Arma3. Anyone got any advice ? Does it need SweetFX AND eFX at the same time ?

It works for Arma 3.

If you're running anything previous to Windows 8/8.1

I haven't had any luck with any injection DLLs as of yet.

Nice avi btw St. Jimmy, seen D.R.I. a couple of times, amazing show.

Anyone got Sweetfx working for Sniper EliteV2?

I put the Sweetfx files here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sniper Elite V2\bin

I have the files installed but when you start the game your sitting at a black screen and thats it, normally the Rebellion logo shows up right after start.

I got SweetFX running with Arma3 np, game looks much crispier and more vibrant, that whitish tint is gone too, always hated that hue effect, makes the game look foggy like.

Nope, still can't even get it to work for Arma3. I'm on Win8.1 and nomatter the installer it doesn't work :(

Shame, as it would really help to liven things up.

Haven't a clue about Sniper Elite2

Installer? I got mine working on Arma3 np, there was no installer, it was a manual install, drag n drop the files.

You have v1.5.1?

get it here:

http://dropcanvas.com/l46x9

2nd file from the right, its a manual install, just move all the files to the main Arma3 directory, as for a setting try this:

http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/1355/

click on the screenshot and then move your mouse cursor over it and it will give you a sweetfx on and off screen.

For the win8.1 see this post: http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4664945&postcount=4

RadeonPro he refers to is here http://www.radeonpro.info/

Thanks mate, but it keeps giving a d3d11.dll missing after drag&dropping. I remember this failing like this before and I gave up. Any other solutions are welcome from those running Win8.1 (64bit!)
