Make sure your desktop shortcut is for "aceshigh11.exe", not "aceshigh9.exe".

Jimmy I have the shortcut for 11, my problem is trying to setup sweetfx for 11. Thanks non the less  :aok

I had the same problem. It would not let me select DX11 despite having everything setup correctly.

OK I am totally confused. :headscratch:

Where do you set it up for DX11. There is no place in the Global settings nor the SweetFX settings to select DX9 vs DX11.

I am currently running SweetFX on AH3 DX11 using one of AKAK's profiles. The clarity especially on GV's from the air is outstanding. I would assume that SweetFX is using the DX11 in AH3. But I'm no hot shot programmer or graphics specialist. :)

When you select the Aceshigh11.exe in the Reshade set up, it will automatically select to use DirectX 11.  If it's not selecting DirectX 11, you can do it manually by clicking on the DirectX 11 button on the Reshade setup interface.

I would shy away from third party software till the pre release goes to full release. That is unless you do not want to do any further input into any game issues.

Once you addin third party software,  any issue you have may be related to that and not AHIII.

It can be easily disabled while in flight if you want to do any testing.

Was messing around with SweetFX tonight, here is what it looks like with the settings I use for AH2.  Will be messing around this weekend some more and make a couple of different settings for AH3.

SweetFX On

Really liked your Technicolor setting for AH2.  Love the blue tint.  Reminds me of Kodachrome.  :cheers:

Hmm maybe I give it a try just for a monochrome setting. Back in the day when I was playing European Air War, I had an old screen which I could switch to b/w by a single button push. I though it was actually pretty cool "vintage" looking...

Despite using the DX11.exe it would not allow me to select it. Defaults to auto and the other boxes are no selectable.

Hey, I downloaded SweetFX and followed the instructions.  Now AH3 won't start.  I get a popup "aceshigh11.exe has stopped working" and nothing I do helps.  Need some advice here.

I would warn anyone off of SweetFX.  It crapped out my game.  My machine is brand new, too. Have to uninstall and reinstall everything.

No, you can't.

Ok I think I know why it doesn't work. I have DX12 installed. I read Reshade does not work with DX12. Go to search, do a dxdiag.exe and find out which version you have.
