Using Injectors -- Sweetfx

xxx7 · September 26, 2013

Thought I'd re-write this post since a lot has been answered, solved, etc. and make a single go-to post for quick overview. This thread is about the use of SweetFX for Warframe. Thanks to some very helpful Tenno -- mainly sushidubya, Koyamina, RedDirtTrooper, CeePee, and RawGritz -- we now have a complete set-up guide!

Great news everyone: Thanks to U14, Warframe is now compatible with SweetFX in DX11! No more "half-half-grey-glitch"!

IS IT LEGAL?

So, first things first: Can the use of a graphical/shader injector mod ban you? Answer is

Nope, you're good.

and can be found here posted by no one else but DE_Steve himself: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/34366-update-781/page-5#entry314666

WHAT'S IT FOR?

Alright, with that out of the way, what does it actually do? Well, in short it enhances the graphics, mainly by sharpening and eliminating the blurries caused by Warframe's FXAA. ~~Here are some comparison shots.~~ Removed pics. Might post a more extreme setting to better showcase the difference ("it's hard to put a movie in an image").

INSTALL GUIDE

How do I get and install it? I suggest you follow sushidubya's step-by-step guide here. Please note that for non-Steam users your install directory will be

/Warframe/Downloaded/Public

instead of

/Steam/SteamApps/commons/Warframe

OK. I got a couple of PMs from the other posters in this thread. So if you guys read earlier I recommended to try the "sharp and clean" setting at this link:

http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/445/

on that link he refers people to download a certain build of sweetFX here:

http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4581604&postcount=528

All I did was take the files like in this image here:

and copied them to my install folder (it varies depending on if you used steam or original installer) but basically the folder where Warframe.exe is located. The folder should look like this after you copy the files:

So on that first link I have referred you guys to the "sharp and clean" page looks like this:

Download the text file by clicking "download preset" then take that text file and copy to the warframe install directory:

It should look like the picture above when you're done. you're going to delete the original "SweetFX_Settings" file. After that you're going to take the "SweetFX_Settings_Warframe_Sharp and clean.txt" file and rename it to "SweetFX_Settings" exactly like the original file.

To make sure it's installed correctly there's a way to make half the screen work with SweetFX and the other half not. So you can verify it's running. Open that text file and you should see this:

Change the number 0 that I highlighted in red to a 1 then save the txt file.

Open the warframe launcher and make sure you're using 32bit. You should see a dramatic difference between the right side of the screen (SweetFX active) vs the left side which is normal.

Good luck and enjoy!

Important

If you want to use WF in 64bit mode, just copy the files (d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll) in the SweetFx_64 folder and replace the one in the WarFrame main folder. Make backup of the original file in case you wanna use 32bit later.

If you keep crashing when using the 64bit version, close all overlay you have like Fraps/TS3 overlay. You can run Fraps after the game has been launched. (Thanks for reminding me, Alif. Don't know why I forgot to add this)

I'll keep this updated and will try to add as much as possible. Feedback, questions, etc. welcome!

NOTES:

~~SMAA does not seem to work with Nvidia cards.~~ SMAA does work on Nvidia cards. If you can't see any difference try lowering the SMAA threshold (I put it on 0.08 along with lowering LumaSharpen to 2.30). Also, be sure to turn off in-game AA or it won't work!

The 64bit version has been tested and found to work on both Nvidia and AMD/ATI cards.

SweetFx is now 100% compatible with Warframe in DX11 mode, thanks to U14!

Original post:

Now I know there have been various talks about this in the past, but not one of them actually answered this question. I tried contacting the DEvs, but they seem busy reading old PMs XD.

So, on to the question: Is the use of graphical/shader injector mods (read SweetFX) allowed to use for Warframe? I'd really like to use it for LumaSharpen, SMAA, and perhaps some color tint changes.

If anyone has an answer to this, please do post and include source if possible. Thanks!

I have reshade running in Dying Light on Windows 8.1. Looks amazing.

But I can't get it running int Warframe. I think it needs everything in the Tools folder, maybe... I will try that after work today.

I have it running from the steam version..

64bit windows 8.1

How did you install?

Where did you place/install everything?

Nobody cares about me ;~;

RawGritz · February 2, 2015

Can I use this on Dx9 (10 and 11 crash warframe)? Does it drop frame rates?

i'm not understanding your question. generally... sweetfx runs on directx games using dx9 - dx11.

warframe doesnt run for you in dx10 or 11? still sweetfx should work for you if you only run WF in dx9

Locarus · February 3, 2015

How did you install?

Where did you place/install everything?

With the Warframe.exe

Locarus · February 3, 2015

Got it sorted.

CONFIRMED!

The SweetFX config linked in your original post, works fine for Win 8.1 Pro with my alt settings. The caveat... You still can't have any other overlays running. I disabled TS3 and Afterburner overlays. Whereas these ran fine on Win7 64bit, as long as the overlays were 64bit.

This is the sweetFX I am using in Win 8.1 Pro 64bit http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4581604&postcount=528

Slightly modified from my alt settings linked in your OP.

Known Issues

- No overlays supported seemingly. Not even 64bit Afterburner. WIll update and test

- Alt+Tab freezes video/CTD.

'Levels' seems to be the cause of the overlay CTD issue.

Working just fine. THANKS!

ok fellas we have a new king. I am running Windows 8.1 with afterburner. No CTD. I can alt-tab to desktop no prob.

I will post my final settings in just a few. Gotta help the little one with her homework.

RawGritz · February 3, 2015

Testing these settings now. A little too blue...a little too vibrant. But still Reshade 0.14 + "SweetFx 2.0" are niiiice.

View in full screen. Resolution is (2560x1600)

I know it has been quite a long time since this issue has been mentioned in this thread and from what I saw was never answered on this forum, but I recently had to re-install Warframe due to the fact that I forgot to copy it over to my data drive from my SSD when I re-installed windows. Once I did and I installed Sweetfx again, I was receiving the error for "DirectX9 not found". After much a searching and log checking, I found out that it was not finding 2 dll's that it needed to run correctly. Specifically MSVCP100.dll and MSVCR100.dll. I believe that both of these are related to a microsoft C++ 2010 redist. Both of which are included into the same package from my understanding and can be found here Microsoft Answers Page which is the recommended option.

If it still gives you the error, search your computers and copy/paste the 2 files into your Warframe folder "C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Warframe". This should allow for Sweetfx to run in DX11/64bit if you have had this error.

Hey im playing this game through steam, so far i pasted all the files in the .exe of the game and it is not working. is theres another type of installation method for steam version? Should i disable steam overlays for it to work?

That's the way to do it, for the steam version. The whole sweetfx package (all files and folders) into Warframe.exe folder. Remember that there are two versions of sweetfx usually included with each package. A 32 bit one and a 64 bit one.

If you're running Warframe on 64 bit you need to look for the dll files in the 64 bit folder of sweetfx and overwrite the original 32 bit dlls.

Hope that info helps. Good luck. =)

Having issues with reshade as well.

Sweetfx works perfectly fine through radeon pro, but when i try reshade, I get the initial yes/no warning message, but no text on the top left corner on startup that should appear with reshaded games. Placed the dxgi.dll and other files in both the root warframe folder as well as tool folder with the launcher.

SweetFx folder, sweet.fx file, and 64-bit dxgi.dll go in the main warframe folder.

nothing goes in Tools. The Sweetfx_settings.tx file goes in the SweetFx folder, not in the main warframe folder like older SweetFx is placed.

Here is a link to a package you should just be able to dump in your main folder. Let me know if it works.
