artisanal 22 Posted January 12, 2014 It matters because SweetFX doesn't work that well on windows 8, especially 8.1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wedieyounge 10 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) 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. http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4664945&postcount=4 Edited January 21, 2014 by wedieyounge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lodo 10 Posted February 23, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatFukinLenny 3 Posted February 23, 2014 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..

CyclonicTuna 87 Posted February 24, 2014 Doesn't this slaughter your framerate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted February 24, 2014 Doesn't this slaughter your framerate? Yes, it is true . SweeFx reduce your FPS but it also depends on your settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vennonetes 10 Posted April 17, 2014 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kremator 1065 Posted April 27, 2014 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 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sequisha 13 Posted April 27, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zorrobyte 30 Posted April 28, 2014 Found this: http://www.mediafire.com/download/o8fbhc6q26nqx9c/SweetFX%2BeFX-Win8.1.rar Should work when you replace the configs for A3, untested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starky396 1 Posted July 5, 2014 If anyone is having trouble using SweetFX, try using Radeon Pro: http://www.radeonpro.info/ BTW it works with all GFX cards, not just AMD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warden_1 1070 Posted July 13, 2014 Vasilyevich, was this just a screen in game or did you do some work on it outside of the game in photoshop or something, looks incredible? (https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2912/14112879733_50f7d43129_o.png) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4020 Posted August 5, 2014 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.

kremator 1065 Posted August 5, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4020 Posted August 5, 2014 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/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
