Hi, i am looking for help.

 

I posted it also on SweetFX forum but maybe you Steve already know the problem and resolution?

 

Basicaly the question is: is will SweetFX work with Fixer (v11)?

 

So far i have been using succesfully SFX 1.5 + FlightFX. No issues and great visual experience.

Now i decided to move to SFX 2.0 and i cannot start FSX up. It crashes few seconds after launching fsx.exe.

 

My system: W7 64bit, GeForce GTX970, FSX Acceleration, DX10 mode, Steve's DX10 Fixer, nVidia inspector.

 

Any advise how to fix it would be highly appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

 

Kris

Steve, i think SweetFX 2.0 doesnt have injector dll file. It puts some .fx files and dxgi.dll into FSX main directory and SweetFX folder. Unless i am unaware of somerhing?

The dxgi.dll is the injector (and thus the problem).  Note that I have never looked at SweetFx 2  - I am only repeating what I have seen said.

Got it. Is there any thread you can point me to where a discussion is held and maybe a solution described?

Kyle, one of the pre-release beta versions of Reshade/ SFX 2.0 works.

The only issue i have is that it minimise FSX to desktop each time IT refreshes the effects. It happens more or less once per hour of flight. This is not CTD and i am able to maximise the FSX bacik to full screen easily.

I've isolated the issue to using DX10, dxgi.dll, and clicking the "show desktop" button in Windows 7 (or pushing Window+D). Doing so causes an API.dll CTD every time.

I think it is early 0.19 beta that works for me. But every system is different. Try the last pre-final beta. If it crashes try the previous one and so on untill you get the one that works for you. Its just a matter of changing dxgi dll, you dont need to replace whole package each time.

Actually, that part isn't true.  Newer versions of ReShade/SweetFX do need the newest ReShade32.dll/dxgi.dll, otherwise aircraft and other graphics may not even show up at all.

I installed final release version and replaced dxgi only (from 0.18 - just checked it) and it works (effects are applied).

 

So its true.
