Solano 176 Posted May 21, 2015 Ok that's nice but why do we have to install windows platform update to use this if it's only gamma, contrast and color grading? I wish somebody explained that. I am not sure if you must install it - for some people who had issues it fixed it. And ReShade with the Mastereffect can do so much more then I used for my preset. Some things are heavy and some aren´t for the gpu. My goal is that you can play Arma3 like you could before with the least FPS drop possible. And for the things I mentioned like gamma and colors its really light weight. But it is still ReShade and it needs some base components to run - no matter which effects are used and which are not. I mean - to keep windows up to date is always a good idea - that is no secret but I don´t know if this one update which helped so many so they can use reshade didn´t came automated via windows update anyway. Windows 7 is the most stable Version I´ve ever used. I have this platform update and no problems at all. The Rig I use is build by myself also. But everyone needs to decide for himself if he uses it or not. But maybe Crosire can explain you why it´s somehow needed. I am just the driver - he made the entire car.

Same method of installing - just unzip it to the location of your arma3.exe and you are good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinghubert 48 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Solano, reshade seems to overwrite my driverside 16xAF settings. Is it possible to activate AF in the reshade ini or something similar? edit: I found a solution. I had to disable AF ingame to get 16xAF to work together with reshade. P.S. My prefered settings are brightness to 7 and gamma to 9 :) Edited May 24, 2015 by JumpingHubert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stephsen 79 Posted May 24, 2015 hey Solano, where can i change the sweetFX settings for Arma3 ? with the sweetFX.txt in the arma3 mainfolder or sweetFX.txt in sweetFX folder (what is in the arma3 main folder) Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinghubert 48 Posted May 24, 2015 little correction: I had to set anisotropic filter to 16x in the GENERAL driver setting (not in the arma3.exe profil) plus ingame AF to "disable" to get it active ingame. AF x16 plus badbensons midrange texture fix plus reshade by solano plus gamma to 9 and brightness to 7......i have to repeat: MINDBLOWING.... compare it: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?185359-A-vacation-on-Altis-or-To-Limnos-and-back-again&p=2814313&viewfull=1#post2814313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That´s worth all the effort to me. I will try the AF trick you are mentioning in the next days. Maybe you could post a screenshot or too of your current Arma 3 look state? I am really curious about your combination of AF and mod and such. Edited May 24, 2015 by Solano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
