There are a lot of other things, like choosing balance between red, blue and green, can be also helpful in optimizing colors. Also very very helpful in getting HDR effects under control. Tonemap - there you can adjust gamma, saturation of colors and general exposure. It is very useful to optimize HDR effects, because it makes some lights way to bright, mostly sun and generally sky. HDR - you need to read what it actually is, but in practice it is responsible for cleaning picture from white fog original LOTRO has, brightening lights, improving their effects on other objects, it also gives more colors, but in original its way to bright and flashy, so you need other options to optimize it.īloom - something like light bleeding.

#HOW TO USE SWEETFX DIRECTX 12 HOW TO#
How to install in README files, and description of every setting is next to every option in SweetFX_Settings. Reshade + SweetFX 2.0 is much easier than Framework version. If anyone has up to date links for SweetFX, and a guide for how to get it to work, including the very basic steps, I'm all ears. The issue with this thread is that the OP's information is outdated - if anyone has up to date links for SweetFX, and a guide for how to get it to work, including the very basic steps, I'm all ears.

I had the same problem as the poster you're quoting - SweetFX prevented my launcher from loading, and despite removing the Sweet FX files, it wouldn't start up, so I had to reinstall. Do you have any idea if LumaSharpen has any negative or positive effect whenever that setting is on/off? I have an ATI card and I have "Surface Format Optimization" set to on. How do you set your anisotropic in game? Do you set it to anisotropic 2x-16x or do you set it to Very Sharp? I use it because I want night to be night, not a day but with dark sky, and I want Moria and caves to be Moria and caves, dark and deep, not a glade in the sunset. The rest of effects are based on personal preferences. LumaSharp fixes that and in connection with x16 anisotropic filtering you have everything sharpened very nicely and a lot of more details are visible. Its biggest problem in LOTRO, because Very Sharp filtering is sharpening buildings and foliage nicely, but it is not very good in ground filtering, while anisotropic filtering is sharpening ground very nicely, twice as far as Very Sharp, but everything else is terribly blurry even on DX11 Ultra. If you don't like effects SweetFX creates, use just one option, sharpening called LumaSharpen. Even if you delete something accidentally, launcher is redownloading it. You had to reinstall game because SweetFX? How? It has nothing to deal with game files, it doesn't replaces anything, you just removing SweetFX files and thats it, game files are untouched.
