ED & SweetFX - Screenshots and DL link
- Thread starter ICO_hr
- Start date
Mornin Cmdr, I downloaded reshade from their site and did all the swanky install things. That has options from Gemfx, sweetfx and a couple of others. It works, its a bit trickier than the Gemfx ui but it works pretty good. Currently running a mix of gemfx and sweetfx.
never saw the point in sweetfx.
all they really do is mess with ingame variables you could change your self. usually making the game more vibrant for no apparant reason other than to say "look what we did"

The game looks really washed out to how it should look imo. All I desire is increased vibrance and bloom.
Currently I have vibrance set on 0.2 with rgb all at 1. Bloom is set to a threshold of 21, power to 1.45, and a width of 0.015.
in the GemFX Configurator, I have set no basic shader in general for GEMFX with only the SweetFX options enabled to what they are above.
I thought the game looked fine before I got reshade/sweetfx and now I love the way it looks. I spent several hours testing many GEMFX settings, but the game looks best with only a few tweaks imo.
I am 99% sure that my presets will look like poop on a different display, but it looks as good as I can get on my cheap 1080p tn panel, and thats all that matters. On another note, having a low bloom threshold lets the game look more realistic. Having stars actually be incredibly bright makes the game look great. I know we are in a space suit with an incredibly complex canopy to auto adjust brightness, but having everything look dim and drab makes for poor visuals.
edit: It is all about the eye candy
I love the way the plasma accelerator has such a hauntingly purple glow now. The ultra-blue glow from the thrusters is such a nice visual. The nice reflections everything when near a star... EVERYTHING feels so vibrant and is captured in such a way that makes the game feel alive. Vanilla Elite comes nowhere close to making the game look as visually rich. CAN'T GO BACK!

It's the GemFX menu and for me it's the "/" key to toggle it on and off. Check the GemFX_Readme.txt file cause the key should be listed there.
It's not working. The feature is there but is yet to be implemented. From memory i recall reading that it should work in a future release but don't quote me on that...

I doubt it's anything to do with the program, unless you have not uninstalled it properly. Try validating your game files, you can do it from the launcher.
I made short cinematic video about E: D - Horizons, using EDFX with "Interstellar feeling mid effects" preset.

Oh and you best get it into the competition! Deserves recognition
Thanks
Pfft whats 9 seconds!? you could shave a few seconds off with the end screen only being on for 1 second, get it submitted anyway!
So did people get GemFX working with ED again?
It seemed to work for me vs EDFX causing the game to crash with DXTory running.

what exactly needs to be done? My install method was getting the latest version from the Total War forums or something and picking the install folder from my Steam directory
It worked before horizons, not sure what else I have to do for the new one

This was amazing! Many reps to you!
That's pretty much what I did as well, dropped the GemFX files into my elite-dangerous-64 directory, ran the GEM configuration program to enable it and launched horizons from the launcher as normal.
