The sfx.thelazy site seems to be different than it used to be. I cannot make sense of it based on this mods instructions (maybe outdated). The downloads may have been changed. There is no sfx 2.0 for example. I cannot find a reshade setup ether. I get the impression that reshade.me is now the new tool to use, but these settings may not be compatible (at least I have no idea where to start).
SweetFX's shaders were folded into Reshade, and they're a "legacy" option that you can tick to download when you set up Reshade (option down at the bottom of the list of shaders to set up when you download). I don't know whether they'll work with this preset because it's pretty old and even SweetFX's shaders might have changed quite a bit since then.
I installed the non-SMAA version with no problems, but unfortunately for me there was just too much sharpness at the default settings. Playing at 2560x1440p and the trees near the bandit camp in Valewood just looked horrible and grainy. Thanks for making a mod though obviously.
I followed your installation instructions but when I try to run PoE now, I get a system error. The Program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try Reinstalling the program. I checked and the MSVCP110.dll file is where it is supposed to be. Guess I'll have to reinstall. Really disappointing because the sharpness looks great.
Well I've just described the basic reshade install instruction to help and it's the way I've installed it. My work is about the settings for reshade, Try to see with if there's a solution in reshade/sweetfx forum.
According to a quick search... "The problem lies with the updated version of DX11 that is included with Windows 8.1. You need either RadeonPro, or a SweetFX+eFX bundle." I'm not running Windows 8.1, but I'm betting I need that eFX Bundle. You may already have it having used SweetFX before and since I've never used it then I'll need to install it. I'll try later tonight.
I searched for 30-45 minutes last night for SweetFx and EFX bundle and found a few but links were broken or they seemed to be hit or miss on whether they worked. Decided to hold off rather than try it out and have to reinstall the game again.
"Simply uninstall" except there is no uninstall option or instructions and there was a dll file that I didn't knowhad to be deleted.
But I finally figured it out. The SweetFX Setup would install it as OpenGLI. I found an installation guide for SweetFX Preview online and I simply had to rename a DLL file in the PoE program folder from OPENGLI.dll to DLGI.dll and the game would load and run.
That being said... it is easy to see the difference in your comparison screenshots but I couldn't really tell the difference in-game. I removed the dll and sweetFX files and took screenshot comparisons and it looked exactly the same. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong, but the game looks fine with or without so I'm just going to keep on playing instead of worrying about it.
Still, thanks for sharing because modders add a lot to these games and I appreciate your work.
Hey there. Thanks for the settings/tweak. I am trying to manually install but I can not find any .dll files that even remotely resemble directx or opengl in my game directory. Can you help with that? I want to do a manual install so I can remove it myself like old sweetfx I have used. Does the setup program do uninstall as well? thanks again
J'ai compris faut installer Reshade comme suit : youtube.com/watch?v=HRmnpmTKG3s et ça passe merci pour tout rien à modifier finalement c'est moi qui suis un noob dés que les tutos sont en anglais
Salut Floyd, merci pour tout ton travail, A tu le temps de faire une version de ton preset sur sweet fx 1.5.1 en effet sweet fx ne fontionne pas sur windows 8.1. on peux bidouiller en utilisant radeon pro (même en étant Nvidia) mais en revanche les shaders de la version 2.0 ne sont pas supportés. Je pense, sans etre sûr..qu'un simple copié/collé en enlevant les histoires de shaders devrait suffire, mais n'y connaissant pas grand chose je doute de pouvoir le faire moi même. Merci d'avance et encore merci pour le travail.
- tried it - worked - turned off USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING - awesome
As for me i dont have any expierience with sweetFX so i just followed the instruction and i didnt had any trouble at all. Like already mentioned down below i turned off the USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING, because without its more comfotable for my eyes reading the texts in game. They are more smooth.
I am using win7 64bit and i tryed the preview 7 of sweetFX 2.0. without a problem.

Thats why it boots up and also why you cant see any difference
EDIT: I noticed the game needs a little of antialiasing. How can i use it without interfere with texts?

Does the setup program do uninstall as well?
thanks again
The game looks so much better now. There´s just one little thing:
The flavour text isn´t grey anymore. All the text is just white now. Ther´s no difference between flavour text and direct speech.
