SweetFx not working with v2.3

[AUA425 130]

nope,

as i said, it´s working if I restart P3D 2.4, and if I only fly and do nothing it´s still working -> but if I choose something from P3D menu (or anything else) the effects are gone and with pressed scroll down (or some other defined keyboard button) nothing happens, and i can´t reactivate it again until restart of P3D ! 

i don´t look at the log file, and the files (Sweetfx config, the dll´s and the rest of them) are only im main P3D folder (not copied to any other folder such a system or windows folder) !

This evening I wil check what you are saying and get back here to report.

ok friends !

 

Thank you for your response, but I think I have it !

 

I´m not sure which step solved this problem (no tests after every step, sorry) but i did as follow:

 

reinstalled DirectX runtime

as posted above -> uninstalling windows update KB2670838 (could be the reason)

rebuild P3D own shaders with SweetFX on

rebuild SweetFX shaders (pressed break button on keyboard) with SweetFX on and off !

 

The issue with the P3D menu is still there, but as soon as I close the menu the effects are coming back, an I can also switch to fullscreen or windowed mode without problems !!

Yuhuu !

 

Thank you !

Can anyone with sweet fx post a screenshot or two to show the difference between the standard 2.3 and a SweetFx one? Really interested to see if it can make sunlight on terrain look more "sunny" (although I reckon 2.3 has gone and done this much better than 2.2) cheers!

my screeshots, little to bright but i´m working on it:

I'm trying to uninstall SweetFX but if I remove the folder, P3d won't start.

There's more than only the folder to remove.

Yes, the dll-files.

I deleted the dll files and that looks like it did it, thank you!

Try to remove windows update KB2670838 this helped me.

Has anybody solved this issue with a method not listed above? Using the menu bar disables the shaders every time.

My Only suggestion is to use the new installer. 

 

http://reshade.me/

 

It's so simple to use and works flawlessly with P3D. If you need a hand setting it up give us a shout.

the Reshade package is superior, but the new DirectX hooks (possibly) cause a ctd if Dxtory is running. Theres a thread on the forum with log files.
