W1ndy Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 I'm using SweetFX lately in RoF and Cliffs. It's quite a nice effect. I was wondering if it is compatible with DCS World, and if anyone is using it. Heres the link I have to it for RoF. I like DCS graphics, but it could sometimes do with being a little 'dirtier' IMO SweetFX for RoF 1
GregP Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 It's definitely compatible, yes -- in fact it was recently integrated into Radeon Pro, and I've been playing with it a bit in DCS World. Haven't quite got the settings right yet though.
recoilfx Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 64 bit compatibility is only for AMD cards.
Nopileus Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 What interests me most is if SMAA works well with DCS, got any experience on that?

FZG_Immel Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 64 bit compatibility is only for AMD cards. So you are saying it won't work on windows 7 64b with an nvidia graphic card ?

GregP Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 So you are saying it won't work on windows 7 64b with an nvidia graphic card ? SweetFX on it's own doesn't work with 64-bit executables. However, when it is used as part of Radeon Pro, it does. So no, you won't be able to run the 64-bit DCS executable with SweetFX right now. However, it should work with the 32-bit executable.
GregP Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 GregP could you post a dummies guide to installing it to World ?? :thumbup: Well, are you using a Radeon card or Nvidia? If you don't want to use Radeon Pro, or you have an Nvidia card, just install it the exact same way you do with any other game -- unzip all files into your \DCS World\bin\ folder. If you want to use Radeon Pro, download the latest version here, install it, go to the General Settings section and specify where you have SweetFX currently installed, create a profile for DCS and in that profile you'll see a SweetFX tab where you can select the values you want for each effect.

funkster Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Well, are you using a Radeon card or Nvidia? If you don't want to use Radeon Pro, or you have an Nvidia card, just install it the exact same way you do with any other game -- unzip all files into your \DCS World\bin\ folder. If you want to use Radeon Pro, download the latest version here, install it, go to the General Settings section and specify where you have SweetFX currently installed, create a profile for DCS and in that profile you'll see a SweetFX tab where you can select the values you want for each effect. Hi, I am running the latest Radeonpro 1.1.1.0 Beta - cant seem to find the section you mean in the "general settings"? Also do I just extract all the SweetFX files to a new folder and then point radpro to that?
GregP Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 At the top of the RP window there are a bunch of icons, one of which is for settings or preferences: in there is a tab for SweetFX. And yes you unzip SweetFX anywhere and then point RP to it.
funkster Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 Hi Preferences? I have a icon for Settings? However when I go into settings I get a list of: general Screenshots FPS counter Benchmarking Compatibility list Advanced Sound Jumplists Nothing regards to Sweetfx in any of them?
funkster Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Anyone else having this issue? Cant seem to find anything on web - what am i missing?
BRooDJeRo Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Is this 32bit software not messing around with the DCS 64bit architecture?
Megagoth1702 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 It's definitely compatible, yes -- in fact it was recently integrated into Radeon Pro, and I've been playing with it a bit in DCS World. Haven't quite got the settings right yet though. Haha, another AMD user! Man, isnt that magic that japamd did right there? :) Guys, if needed I will make a video tutorial on that SweeFX stuff tomorrow. Gotta show some ATI love for japamd, his work on RadeonPro is amazing.

ZaltysZ Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Yes tried today before reading this. win7 x64 doesn't work (nvidia). Too bad. 64 bit OS isn't a problem. 64 bit executable is. You can't "inject" 32 bit DLL into 64 bit process. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Spetz Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I need a hand.. Was using the older RP, updated to the new Beta to get the sweetFX but can't get it to work.. I unzipped SweetFX to it's own folder, but I can't get RP to "see" it, and can't even check-mark "enable sweetfx".. Anyone have any idea? Nothing out there for instructions on running it through radeonpro that I can find..
Megagoth1702 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 You mean it does not show up in radeon pro options? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] System specs:2500k @ 4.6 GHz 8GB RAM HD7950 OC'd Win7 x64 Posting tracks to make your DCS better - attention bump incoming!
Schnarre Aggro Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 You mean it does not show up in radeon pro options? tellme more about that stuff today in the evening .... you know where to find me ;-) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There are two types of fighter pilots - those who have, and those who will execute a magnificent break turn towards a bug on the canopy . . . . http://www.youtube.com/user/schnarrsonvomdach http://www.twitch.tv/schnarre https://www.facebook.com/pages/Schnarre-Schnarrson/876084505743788?fref=ts

Spetz Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) You mean it does not show up in radeon pro options? It shows up fine, but is non-selectable. From what I've ready, you extract the SweetFX files into a new folder, and point RP to that folder. I can't check the SweetFX option, and I can't "Import Settings". I tried using both Global settings and making a new profile for the DCS World .exe that the desktop shortcut points to, but the option was still not selectable. Can someone who has this working do a fast write-up on the steps please? Specs: AMD HD7970 ATI 3930K 16 Gb RAM Win7 64bit Edited November 22, 2012 by Spetz
PeterP Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Even if you get it to show up in RadeonPro - you will not get it to work in DCS 64bit. SweetFX is compiled for 32bit programs only. http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/sweetfx_shader_suite_download.html >>> Q: It does not run with the 64bit version of my game exe. A: SweetFX is not compatible with 64bit versions of games - use a 32bit version. Edited November 22, 2012 by PeterP
Spetz Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 SweetFX on it's own doesn't work with 64-bit executables. However, when it is used as part of Radeon Pro, it does. So no, you won't be able to run the 64-bit DCS executable with SweetFX right now. However, it should work with the 32-bit executable. They way I read the above is that when used alone, it will only work with the 32 bit. When used through RP, it will work with the 64 bit executable..

SweetFX is compiled for 32bit programs only. http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/sweetfx_shader_suite_download.html >>> Hence why you use RadeonPRO to make it work! ;) RadeonPRO now hooks and affects 64bit stuff as well, nice eh? I created some out of my ass settings just to show that it works: before after how my radeonPro is set up Make sure you run latest radeonPro beta.
