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!

Just a positive PSA:

If you can grab one, Warframe + SweetFX looks so amazing on a 120-144Hz monitor. Doing a review for the Acer IPS XB27HU. Like night and day between 60Hz and 144Hz.

Ishki88 · April 30, 2015

Any new SweetFX config's? I'm still using the same popular one from the website. I added a little grain to the settings for a more Silent Hill effect + reduced bloom.

Ayo Raw, dude I used your Reshade preset for Warframe but it looked awful for me idk why, like it really looked like I was playing out of resolution and in a CRT Monitor. Is this normal, maybe I #*($%%@ something up

That's interesting, I'll keep it in mind next time I pick up a monitor.

There are a few a couple pages back, some for SweetFX and some Reshade (SweetFX 2.0).

Post a screenshot! It worked fine for me, but colors were a little too vibrant on my end as well as too strong curves/levels...a few small changes did the job though. Want me to post my Reshade settings?

Ishki88 · May 1, 2015

Did some testing. Below are two comparisons...

I like how SFX2.0 normalizes the white/greys but at the same time I lose texturee quality. Chroma's textures looks rubbed in. Oddly, his helmet looks 100x better in SFX2.0, but his body is meh.

Yea I agree X, after switching monitors I had to make much of the same changes. My 30in was not as vibrant and doesn't display the best color accuracy.

Thanks! I'm going back to my default settings. Only thing I have to change is how SweetFX handles the White/Greys Ex. My Liset.

I'll post settings if anyone wants them.

Try adjusting LumaSharpen setting to get rid of "blurred" texture.

So from what i can see from this thread, is it safe to use injectors like these? if so, is GemFX Included in this case?

Dont want to get suspended becasue of using a graphical enhancing tool that doesnt alter gameplay.

EDIT: NEvermind, just tested it. Just had to set the game to DirectX9 and it looks neat.

Never even heard of it, but giving it a quick google looks like it's basically another SweetFX setting. Should work in DX10 and 11, if not use our ReShade or SweetFX! :D

Hey there

Got your PM. You can grab my latest config here http://www.mediafire.com/download/34i59b3se8tn30v/ARMA_3_SweetFX.zip

just dump everything there into your main warframe folder were the warframe.exe lives.

NOTE: This is setup for x64 version of Warframe. Let me know if you are on 32-bit version.

Great thanks. Nope x64, also this says Arma3

Off that subject I'm wondering how to make my own custom settings. Is there a base template?

You can make edits to the sweetfx_settings file found in the SweetFX folder.

Decided to try SweetFX again and I've used SweetFX/ENB's on other games before so I'd (hopefully) say I have a decent understanding of the installation stuff. However, regardless of this I am encountering problems... I've installed the latest version of SweetFX from the suggested link in the OP and switched the necessary 64bit dll's over and I'm looking to use DX11 and AA has been disabled in-game. Problem I'm running into is with these above presets and I'm finding myself confused.

The first preset doesn't contain any of the 'choose effects' options like the second preset, so I have no idea what effects to have as 1 or 0, though I'm assuming I just use the ones selected in the second preset? I don't know. The second 'alt' preset just causes me to crash when the settings are used. I hit play on the launcher and then I get a window with a white screen which is followed by a crash with a WF crash log. I can't understand why it's not liking the preset. I've noticed it's seemingly cut off at 'Cineon DPX Settings' at the bottom of the settings but I'm unsure as to whether that would cause a crash or if it's fine to leave it that way.

In the meantime I'm going to try the detailed Warframe preset out and see how far I get with that.

Edit: So the detailed Warframe preset works alright. Is it normal to have a bit of mouse lag in the Liset though? I'm getting 50+ FPS but it's oddly feeling as if I'm running at 15-20. I'm thinking it's tied to the anti-aliasing settings. Noticing it in-game too with the same FPS at around 50+.

Try the details in this post. I'm using Reshade with SweetFx. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/113390-using-injectors-sweetfx/page-34#entry5215328

Will do. So just use all the files in that? Does it matter that it's Arma 3?

And... What if I feel like wanting to use your first preset I referred to? Or even your second which I seem to weirdly have issues with?

Edit: Sound needy but I must be doing something else wrong again. Is the preset supposed to be lacking AA? Makes me think it's not working for me again lol. In fact no it doesn't, the split screen feature isn't functioning either. Annnnd... Do I need to download the ReShade setup and run that?

Hah, that worked thanks. Seems smooth in-game but has quite a bit of sharpening, which I guess is intended? I'm assuming there aren't meant to be any d3d9 files or sweetfx settings that go in the same folder as the warframe exe like other sweetfx presets? The zip didn't contain any apart from the sweetfx settings being in the SweetFX folder.

Any ideas as to why your other two presets aren't functioning for me?

Any help or support at all with the various questions I've asked...? Can't say I've had this much trouble with sweetfx before.

Hmm. What is exactly is the prob you are having? I thought you said you got the reshade one working. That is the superior version by far. You can tone down the sharpening in the sweetfx_settings.txt file.

Well your first/second presets seem to have a decent balance so I was mainly looking to use one or the other. But with the first it looks like it's missing the 'choose effects' part and the second just causes a white screen crash for me. Also, do you recommend keeping or turning off colour correction?

Another question too... How would I go about making it (the reshade version) less brighter and easier on the eyes? I've reduced the sharpening but it's still rather bright and I'm unsure what setting primarily adjusts that.

Raise the gamma or lower the bloom or raise the HDR.
