Hello Everyone,

 

I am confused about Steve's FX Fixer. I purchased it and installed it. I have Sweet FX and a folder in it called Shaders. I also note that there is a file available called: The latest DX10 Shader Patch 3.2.2 

Do I need to put a Shader (whatever that is) into the Sweetfx folder and do I need to download a shader or do I already have it because I bought Steve's Fix?

Yes, you certainly do seem to be confused. :smile:

Good, nothing else to do but run it.

 

I have Sweet FX and a folder in it called Shaders.

Good, nothing else to do here either.

Not required

No

 

and do I need to download a shader

No

Hey Paul! Welcome to the DX10 Club!

 

The Shader Patches were the early development stage of the retail fixer, and are not required.

 

The Patches did a good portion of the repairs needed to the DX10 side of FSX, but didn't address, or didn't completely address the several different types of lighting in FSX, nor were they able to address the many and varied graphical anomalies found in new and old scenery's and airports alike. 

 

SweetFX sits in its own folder in the root of FSX. Depeding upon the version you may have two or three folders inside the SweetFX folder.

 

There are at least five other files which you then need to also place in the root folder of FSX. (This is where fsx.exe lives).

 

These will be:-

 

dxgi.dll

fxgi.fx

injector.ini

SweetFX_settings.txt

SweetFX_preset.txt

 

You may also have shader.fx, and this goes in the same place.

 

If you still use DX9 - you will also want to copy the d3d9.dll and the d3d9.fx files to the same spot.

 

Any shaders mentioned in the SweetFX system have no connection to the DX10 Fixer application.

 

Ask again if you have more queries - ok!

 

All the Best,
