    Reshade and Sweetfx

    Has anybody tried to get reshade, gemfx or sweetfx working? I was hoping that the cloud brightness would be toned down a bit in 4.5. In 4.3 I had sweetfx shaders set up nicely to counter this effect, but none of the above shader suites seem to be working with the new patch.

    I asked this same question, and ATAG_Colander was kind enough to tell me that you need to put the ReShade binaries, shaders, configs, etc. under steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\parts\core. You'll then need to edit the TextureSearchPaths, EffectSearchPaths and PresetFiles point to the new location.

    I have Reshade 3
    Install it over Launcher64.exe, then move the dxgi.dll and dxgi.ini to parts/core folder. Thats all.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    That worked? I had to move everything over the /parts/core after installing and change the paths in the ini file.

    But its working now.

    No need to modify anything. Just install Reshade3 by selecting Launcher64.exe, then move this two file into core folder.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    i installed Reshade over Launcher64.exe and i move "dxgi.dll" and "dxgi.ini" to
    GAME_INSTALL_LOCATION\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\core

    Reshade seems to work but when i stop the game and relaunch it, the effect disappear, i have to reselect my "effects_profile.ini" in the Reshade interface (Shift+F2).

    It seems that Reshade doesn't record my tunings.

    Do you have the same behavior ?

    How can i fix this ?

    Hi

    just checking your path and assuming you mistyped and forgot to add "blitz" to the "Cliffs of Dover" bit. If you didn't its in the wrong file.

    Reshade worked fine for me in 4.5 beta so unless something changed it should work for you.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    I copied all of the sweetfx 1.5 version files that I was using with 4.3 into the core folder of 4.5.

    This sweetFX suite comes with optional 64bit ddl's and works perfectly. There is no notification on the screen but you do get the overlay warning.

    You notice the effect when you start a mission and toggle the effect with ScrLk.

    Absolutely enjoying the look of 4.5 now.

    The "unsupported overlay detected" isn't an error message, this text only indicate that TFS isn't responsible what you get on your screen from now.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    Hi.

    Install Reshade 3.x over the CloD 64 bit exe (Dx10+), choose which reshade elements want to use, finish the install then move the dxgi.dll and dxgi.ini from CloD main folder to \parts\core folder.
    Next time you start CloD, you have to set reshade at the first flight. (Shift+F2)
    Done.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    i'm using Reshade 3, it can crash sometimes, rarely, when you have too many active effects; but if constantly try wipe clean and re-install (i make the habit of having the original root folder of CLoD RARed, so when i want to restore i just delete everything in root and then unRAR)

    besides, having Reshade FPS counter on makes menus crash all the time; you can use it in-game to check on the taxing, but uncheck it before you go out of the action.

    Re: Reshade and Sweetfx

    Found the answer to my problme...

    Had to rename both dx files to d3d11.dll and d3d11.ini...copied those and the confi.ini to the core folder and all works a charm now

    Hopefully that may help some

    Cheers
