SweetFX for BMS
-
Hi guys,
News: a new SweetFX version is out (1.4) :
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=376265Now I have a problem…
I got a new GTX 680 after years with ATI cards.
Running the latest Nvidia drivers (314.22) - I get a massive drop in FPS and minor stutters when running SweetFX , even while not running any post process, just turning it on.
Anyone experienced it like that?? ATI was smooth (5870 card).
Thanks! -

Hey guys,
I installed everything correctly into the right folders but when I launch the game it loads up regular but once loaded up to the main page where you can choose Instant Action, Dogfight, Campaign, etc. I cant see any of that. It simply shows a blank white screen with the UI music playing and I can even click in certain areas of the screen where I remember certain things to be and they will actually go through BUT back to the problem of only having a blank white screen so I cant really play lol
Can anyone help me out with this?

SweetFX affects the whole game visually, that includes menus, loading screens, everything - not just the playable portion of it. It’s good at what it does but it’s a bit ham-fisted when it comes to affecting everything else within the game. Sounds like it’s using Bloom on the white portions of the menu screen and blowing the darker colors out. In this respect it’s useless, hate to say it but you’re best unloading it and waiting (if) until similar shaders are incorporated into future versions of BMS. Even though it doesn’t need any

My video card may be too old to handle it because I am only running Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family “very outdated” I think. I have tried many different settings but still get the white screen that sucks. Where do I place the shader.fx file also if thats the problem?
In the log file it states “redirecting Create Device, initialising shader environment, undable to create depthStencilSurface (hr=-2005530516)”
Any help with that?
Additional info: Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo, 32bit, Resolution 1680x1050, 60Hz
Dont know anything else to state

You’ll get that white screen regardless of your video card. I got the white screen on my GTX690 back when I tried it. I remember somebody showing me the loadup screen for planetside 2 with sweet FX and the loading screen goes CGA in color scheme (purple, cyan with yellow) then it looked like maggots were crawling, eating all the pixels of the image till the entire screen blew out into nothing but white. Stop wasting your time with it

Sounds like the best idea so far

If you like it in game but the menu has gone bad,
You can always disable it with the scroll lock key, and enable it back in 3D… -

The following, is how i’ve got SweetFX working on my system:
d3d9.dll, dxgi.dll & injector.ini is in .\Falcon BMS 4.32\Bin\x86
Everything else is in .\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data
Speaking of effects, I use stock Luma Sharpen, Curves & Dither -these are enough for what I’ve had in mind.

Shadowblade. Best retro profile picture ever! Brings back memories of being 8 years old and flying night sorties over Tripoli on my spectrum!!

Yep. Seems the graphics chip won’t work with it. You run BMS with the shaders disabled, right?

Yea I have to run BMS with the shaders disabled. None of the shader effects ever show so I just keep them off.
I have a Windows 7 64-bit laptop that I installed the game on and it ran perfectly with all of the shaders and extra effects but the only down fall is that I couldn’t figure out how to get the game to show fullscreen on my laptop. It only play in the center portion of my screen and left open spaces on the left and right side where I could clearly see my desktop background.
Is there a way I could play fullscreen on my laptop with it been Windows 7 64-bit? If yes, ill transition to play on my laptop instead and enjoy the game even more.
Thanks ahead

In game, under SETUP and then Graphics (I think), isn’t there a drop down for Resolution? (maybe under Advanced).
Is your full screen resolution a choice? If so, select it.

Got BMS up in running on my Windows 7 laptop just in time for college so now I can still play plus SweetFx and all the shaders are working flawlessly now so gotta say I like the game way more now that I experience it fully.
Next step…Joining a VFW hopefully if college work dont be too busy -
I never knew this existed all this time. Just tried it and it looks amazing.
