SweetFX in Arma 3

[kklownboy 43]

some of the more subtle effects are nice, but FXAA(for the sharp) and lowering my Gama to .9, is just about the same...

[Vasilyevich 20]

Oh yes it does!

Source ? :P

Source ? :P

I always run Fraps and I can see the difference . Quite easy to check it out I suppose.

Hi

I can confirm, what sc_neo just reported -> http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=20343#c81008

...Big Thanks to you sc_neo...

that SweetFX causes the "ArmA 3 Launcher" to be invisible. -> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?180355-Official-launcher-isn-t-working/page5&highlight=Launcher

Now, does anyone have a clue why that happens or knows how to possibly fix this issue?

For me Fraps always disables SweetFX, like both couldn't coexist. How to use Fraps and keep SweetFX running?

I find myself wondering the same thing...

Some screens i made using SweetFX *shameless self plug*

Can you share your SweetFX settings? They are fucking gorgeous.

@Vasilyevich

Can you post your SweetFX preset? It looks great.

[Gunter Severloh 4049]

His screenshots aren't only sweetfx, he uses other stuff, he explained to me in pm before, i forget.

MSI Afterburner will allow you to see your FPS. This is what I do when I want to see my FPS ingame.

I can't seem to get it to work under Win8.1. I'm using RadeonPro and I see the SweetFX On/Off in the top right corner when I toggle it with Ctrl+S but I don't see any visible effect and I'm testing with a profile with splitscreen enabled. Steam overlay is disabled as is MSI Afterburner's OSD.

Try sweetfx 1.4 instead of 1.5. I read that it works better with radeon pro, perhaps it's worth a try :-). On the side note a new sweetfx version went into closed beta testing, so hopefully it ll get releases in near future (it has full windows 8.1 support )

Hey Rydygier, have you tried launching Arma 3 without fraps running and then turning it once your ingame? I hear that works.

[Rydygier 1309]

Tried. For me, as soon Fraps is launched, SweetFX effects, present before, are gone permanently (can't be re-enabled via F12).

Thanks. I got it working using SFX 1.5.1 from here with Radeon Pro http://www.overclock.net/t/1485750/how-to-use-sweetfx-in-windows-8-1

What do i need to do with these sweetfx shaders files "all in my directory?"

For those who have problems running Fraps & SweetFX: the problem is the version number of fraps, try an older version of fraps and the issue should be solved

[miketim 20]

getting cannot find entry point d3d9 error on launch.... i heard it something with newest geforce experience breaking enbs/sweetfx ? becuase i also get this on skyrim every time I use any ENB now, and i used enb/sweetfx before on skyrim and it worked, but the first sweetfx I used on arma was a few months ago or so, and its had this problem since the beginning. (but i hadnt tried one on skyrim since using the arma one so...)

[LSD_Timewarp82 21]

Cant agree that. I have the actual nv driver (without this unecessary crap GFExperience) and my SweetFx setup is working fine in Arma3

[marcuskac 10]

I just can't get this to work again with my Arma 3, it worked fine before.

Could someone post the files they downloaded and how they got them to work since I am done with trying to get this to work, tried for the last

hour.

Its my personal but not finished Setup for Arma3, simply press the Scroll Lock when u are on the Main Menu of Arma 3, you should see the difference. Report back if that worked for you

Put these files into your "\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3

http://www.filedropper.com/swfx

This are the Keys you need:

;toggle shader keycode

key_toggle = 145 ; 145 = the SCROLL_LOCK key

;make screenshot keycode

key_screenshot = 44 ; 44 = PRINTSCREEN

;reload shader files keycode

key_reload = 19 ; 19 = the PAUSE key

Try to disable every other overlay you've if those cause some conflict.
