AH3 with SweetFX enabled

[redcatcherb412]

I have dx11 installed but I had the same crash during startup screen.

Have not had 1 problem with SweetFX, was using it in beta and now pre-release.

What does it do the frame rate?

It really doesn't have an impact on frame rates.

For those having troubles installing Reshade + SweetFX 2.0, using SweetFX 1.5 should work but since I don't run Windows 10, haven't tested it.

1. Download SweetFX 1.5 Here
2. Unzip the file to your Aces High 3 folder (should be: C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III)
3. Download my SweetFX 1.5 setting here and save it to the SweetFX folder in your AH3 directory
4. In your AH3 directory, you should see the file "SweetFX_settings", rename this file to "SweetFX_settings.bak
5. Go into the SweetFX folder in your AH3 directory and rename the file you just downloaded to "SweetFX_settings"
6. Copy and paste "SweetFX_settings" into the main AH3 directory
6. Run AH3 and the SweetFX should be enabled on start up.

Forgot to post the uninstall instructions if you did the instructions outlined in the above post.

Just remove the SweetFX folder and files from your AH3 directory.

Files to remove:
d3d9.dll
d3d9.fx
dxgi.dll
dxgi.fx
injector.ini
log.log
shader.fx
SweetFX readme.txt
SweetFX_preset.txt
SweetFX_settings.txt

Ack-Ack, thanks for this. It definitely made the palette more palatable for me.

Will using 1.5 instead of 2.0 not cause the AH program to crash at startup when the splash screen displays ?  It shows the sweetFX info lines at the top left of the screen, but still crashes with the 'aces hi has stopped working' popup. 
This is on a windows-7 system with DX11 installed.

I still can't get it to work.

Same here, 1.5 failed saying the D3DCompiler was not there and it's in the AH3 directory, then the Aces Hi has stopped working crash message.

Thank you for the uninstall notes, easier than reinstalling AH3 again, that worked fine.

Thanks for this Warmongo. It failed for me and I also have DX12 installed.

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.

Back when I was testing with a PCI-Ex2 video card I tried SweetFX, it had an impact on frame rates. With my PCI-Ex3 video card that runs the game 59-60 at defaults 4096, I ran into a small loss of FPS enabling FXAA which is kind of an on board NVIDIA SweetFX. And enabling DSR made a hit on some of my FPS which got worse increasing the slider.

Some graphics cards won't break a sweat, some will take hits.

AckAck. It says I have sweetfx running when I start up the game but when I enable or disable I see no change in colors. So I have not done something right but not sure what it is. Any idea?

Beau, what profile are you running?

[Beau]

I downloaded the sharper colors. I probably should have downloaded the technicolor one. Is there anything I need to do to get rid of the sharper colors profile and insert the technicolor one?

Copy AKAK's Techincolor profile and paste it into the SweetFX_settings text file.
