DayZ + SweetFX = VERY NICE

[MLG420blazeit 62]

Got a couple of screenshot comparisons from DayZ to show you guys how much better the game looks with SweetFX enabled. I'm using this pre-set, apparently made for FIFA 14 but IMO it looks just as good on DayZ.

Was gonna take more screenshots but the game crashed when I minimised to check if the screenshots were saving.

Beans to you, looks awesome!

[Ozar 108]

oh be careful dude,

 

i know games where they ban you because they say that sweet fx is a unallowed third person software.

 

pictures look nice but a liitle to"crunchy" (pixel) for me.

You cannot get banned for SweetFX.

 

 

SweetFX does not inject data into the EXE of the game.

While people call the shader mods injectors, they are not code injectors in the original meaning of the word, in that they do not inject code into another process, but have their own separate process. 

SweetFX is a set of shaders that run using the InjectSMAA dlls which is a Direct3D proxy dll that redirects the Direct3D render surface to another surface and then runs an extra shader pass on that surface before returning the output to the backbuffer.

VAC rules does not explicitly state that this is allowed, but neither does it state that this is not allowed.

Since Valve have never explicitly stated that it is allowed, it remains a grey area, but in the two years that such shader mods have existed no one have ever been banned for using them.

VAC seems to only detect things which can be used to cheat and shader mods such as FXAA tool and SweetFX can not be used to cheat.

Using these pre-sets has had absolutely no impact on my performance.

May I ask how many FPS you got with SweetFX enabled and disabled (in Cherno and countryside)?

How did u even installed it?

im getting Error: Device reset failed, error 8876086c

Looks like too much contrast and sharp filter for my taste, I prefer the default 'softer' tones. Still, looks good regardless.

I was interested in trying this out looks really good, and the parallax effect (especially on the bricks in the last pic) is really sweet. I was thinking it might be ban-able (I mean it says injector lol). I might try it out, Im all about Parallax Occlusion/tessellation! Lol now boris just has to make an enb.

[reidysw 3]

Tbh I prefer it without.

[DaTrader 3]

Looks sweeeet! :)

I've been using SweetFX on DayZ Mod for a while. Never had any problems, Game looks a lot better. It comes with a 5-7fps drop though, but still worth it.

Ok guys I'll try to describe how to get this thing to work using the presets in OP.

 

Download the SweetFX configurator here.

 

Once you launch and install it, run  it and click "Add new game" which is found in the bottom left corner and locate the DayZ.exe.

 

Then select "Add SweetFX" - top right hand corner.

 

Now, if you have the preset downloaded, put them in a folder where you can easily find them. Then click "Save / load configuration". Then click "Import preset" and import the downloaded preset. Close that window and re open the "Save / load configuration" thingy, then select the preset on the left hand side and click "Load selected preset". Once you've done that, you're almost done. Open "SweetFX injector settings" and select "Enable steam overlay hack".

 

Now launch the game and you should be good to go. In-game you can disable the SweetFX by pressing Scroll Lock. Any screenshots taken will be saved to the DayZ folder (if you use Print Screen that is). 

 

Now click "Launch selected game" and voila.

 

I made this seem much more difficult than it actually is.

Am I the only one that thinks this just looks like it makes everything lighter?

Yes, that's the preset I'm using. You can actually change presets if you want it darker. :p

are you running win 8 or 7 because im running 8 and it crashes 

[mhashemi@gmx.net 10]

More like SweetShit. Do you have a monitor from 1998 ? Do you need unnecessary extreme contrasts ?

 

This is like Instagram for gamers.

Hello there

 

Other threads are reporting problems with ENB and sweetfx with DAYZ

 

Personally, I'd hold off on using them until we have full confirmation from a dev that it wont trigger a VAC or other alert.

 

I use it myself in other games and its *probably* fine to use, but use at your own risk.

I would not use anything that eats any FPS since in Cherno / Elektro, every FPS is important.

[xMarshall 3]

Do you lose FPS?
