update v1.2 10/01/2023 - a 3dmigoto full screen shader (upscale.hlsl) replaces reshade - added remove radial blur effect in instinct mode - added increase presence ambient occlusion - reworked tonemap - switched to internal fxaa (reshade no longer needed) * See screenshots for an impression
update 11/07/2021
- changed sweetfx to reshade 4.3.0 the 32bit version of sweetfx causes the CreateDXGIFactory2 error on windows 10 - update 3dmigoto to version 1.3.16 - added 2 shader tweaks reduce excessive global illumination bloom and god ray reduce cumlative bloom effect rim light - remove the bump pass still adds relief to textures however less noisy - tested with windows 10 (1903)
update 30/03/2020
added an extra tonemap shader (option b) simply copy the contents of the zip file it will overwrite the existing 'filmic.h' in the folder \sweetx\shaders\ of the original package.
See added screen shots for an impression in general the tonemap gives a bit better contrast then the original.
Open upscale.hlsl in the folder ShaderFixes with a text editor then alter line 144 from: color = lumasharpen(color, tex); to // color = lumasharpen(color, tex);
save and close upscale.hlsl then launch the game or use F10 in game to reload the shaders.
I had 'CreateDXGIFactory2' error (reffering d3dx11.DLL), so what to do with the dxgi.DLL while removing it fixes that and game launches flawessly, i could rename it d3d9 instead, is that correct !:? I learn using this kind of reshade SweetFx tweaks actually.
Well I looked but it is very hard to find what could possibly be causing the issue you have described. How ever renaming the dxgi.dll to d3d9.dll is *not* the solution.
Your version of tomb raider is not running in dx9 mode I hope....? https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tomb_Raider_%282013%29 Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Dynamics\Tomb Raider\Graphics Modify RenderAPI value to 9. Notes Revert to 0 for DX11, anything else will result in DX11 renderer with some DX11 features disabled.
Or RenderAPI should contain the value '0' not '9' . If it is 9 please try setting it to 0 and see if the problem still persists.
Otherwise if this is not the case it could be a game version issue from the description: Tested with version 1.0.722.3 (dx11) of tomb raider 2013 on win 7 / nvidia 1050gtx ti I see that there are more updates for tomb raider 2013 I believe the last update was Patch 1.01.748.0 I might look into this in due time but can not make any promises.
From the description: sweetfx / 3dmigoto gpu usage [email protected]* without - clock 1772Mhz gpu usage ~60% with - clock 1772Mhz gpu usage ~70% approximately 10% increase (1050gtx ti on win 7) max gpu: 1772Mhz gpu usage 100% *) Game is capped to 51.2 sync forced off through nvidia inpsector
Or in other words specifically the sweetfx part of the mod will most likely make it slower.
However you could try 'tomb raider 2013 care package option b' this package only contains shadertweaks with 3dmigoto it could possibly be beneficial (higher framerate) but I am not sure.
Must say quite impressive what a intel hd 3000 can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBQ9e3TKHVk at least with the right settings.
Hey brother, this is a really awesome mod. Really made Tomb Raider a much more enjoyable experience. Just wondering if you were working on a similar mod for the sequels?
Thank you for the kind words! Well I have done some work on two earlier games: https://www.nexusmods.com/tombraideranniversary/mods/4 https://www.nexusmods.com/tombraiderlegend/mods/3
How ever both Rise and Shadow are really well made games will relatively little more to change, at least for me. Maybe if I do a replay of those games a might change my mind but for now no plans quite yet.

the 32bit version of sweetfx causes the CreateDXGIFactory2
error on windows 10
- update 3dmigoto to version 1.3.16
- added 2 shader tweaks
reduce excessive global illumination bloom and god ray
reduce cumlative bloom effect rim light
- remove the bump pass still adds relief to textures
however less noisy

Hope this helps.
I could not reproduce this issue however a work
around could be removing the following shaders
from the folder 'shaderfixes':
---------- 53A06639285765D0-PS_REPLACE.TXT
// remove radial blur effect B instinct mode
---------- B8E70702B4C7BF6A-PS_REPLACE.TXT
// remove radial blur effect A instinct mode
---------- F9754C6E306CC71C-PS_REPLACE.TXT
// remove radial blur effect C instinct mode
and, if present, the bin versions
53A06639285765D0-PS_REPLACE.BIN
B8E70702B4C7BF6A-PS_REPLACE.BIN
F9754C6E306CC71C-PS_REPLACE.BIN
then start the game.
See - further tweaking in the description
for more detail on tweaking individual shaders.
Hope this helps.

I see that there are more updates for tomb raider 2013 I believe

you are describing was caused by the
sweetfx dxgi.dll (32bits).
I have replaced it with reshade the
'CreateDXGIFactory2' error should
no longer occur when using windows 10.
is this mod effect my fps on game or it give me boost or it make my game slow?
