soooo i get this when i launch the game from configurator

"The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dlll."

Link should be fixed now.

link is outdated

Link outdated... can u re-upload pls?

This still works as of 12/02/16 and is a wonderful addition to ins. I have used it for years in this game and others. The best visual upgrade you can do to your Insurgency game.

is there a working way to do this on a mac?

@apotato SweetFX is a windows only program, it is not made for mac. It will not be updated for mac (unless the developers of SweetFX decides to do it, which I highly doubt).

@Rymd Yeah this should be compatible as a reshade and/or 2.0. You would just have to tweak the ini file to get the new features working.

does this work on mac

Is this compatible with Sweet FX 2.0 ?

In the download there should be a file called SWEETFX Readme, which contains a couple troubleshooting notes that should point you in the right direction. This is going off of memory, but I believe your error is due to sweetfx having write permissions for the insurgecny2 folder. Again check the readme for more details.

@lord wiener
No you can only use either no AA at all, or sweetfx's integrated SMAA. This is due to how certain filters can overwrite sweetfx's changes to the game.

@JAX
Thank you for your kind words.

An amazing addon to this game, very useful for maing dramatic screenshots and artwork. Thank you very much for this Darwinia.

after putting the d3d9.dll in my bin folder my game goes to a black screen, then crashes. any recommendations on how to fix this?

@TemplarGFX
Yeah, I can see now why having screenshots in the download is unnecessary, especially in bmp format. Originally I was going to put all those screenshots on the mod page, but the files where too large. (Yeah I forgot that I could just convert the damn thing and then post them here)

@Arcadeguy
Yeah that would be my fault. Forgot to tick a setting in the config file.
I've updated the download with the fix and removed the screenshots fropm the download.
My apoligies in advance.

Is there any kind of AA in the suite ? Jagged edges everywhere.

Like wise. Please remove the unnecessary screenshots.

380mb download is 99% useless screenshots in BMP format that are 4mb a piece. Total complete waste of space. Change the damn file.

Why would I want a bunch of screenshots of what its going to look like, when Ive just downloaded it to install and see it for myself.

It seems like a really nice mod, but it would kinda mess with gameplay a little O_o

Gee thanks for the fast reply :D

@Blackout330
That could be anything, mod related or not.

You could always try someone the solutions listed here

I hope you can find the solution to your problem

I have not even started on the Configurator

Help! My game just crashes and stops working

Managed to edit the TXT file, but still an FPS drop. I guess my computer wasn't made to handle ovehauls.

@Jan Egeland
The fps hit could be the smaa or hdr enabled through the shader suite, so you can turn those off and see if it helps

For the configurator itself, you could always go to the creators site and download a fresh version. The main problem people seem to have is that the drive letter for the configurator is wrong due to each person having a different letter for their storage.

If the configurator does not work even after a fresh install, you could always manually edit the text files in order to disable whatever is hitting your fps.

I hope this reply helps you solve your troubles.

This thing dropped my FPS, for some reason. Also, my configurator won't work. There are no values to modify when I add Insurgency.

Thanks

@Cantao2
Yes, it is just chrome being overprotective.

"(Note: if for some reason your anti-virus or web-browser warns you of possible mal-ware, ignore it, as it is a false-positive due to the included .dll files). "

chrome fouund link to be "malicious". Is chrome just being over protective?

thanks. ill start messing around with wine.

@toric55
According to the creator of SweetFX, you can.
However, you would have to run it through wine/bootcamp, due to mac/linux not having DirectX support.

sny chance of this working on a mac or linux machine?

okay thanks, when i press pause it does shift so i should be good by trying it without it running

@D4 Damager
Try setting it up without the game running.
If the affects work in game (you notice the color shift on the main menu), then you should be able to still use the settings stock.
If you really need to alter the settings of the shaders, then you can manually edit the Sweetfx_setttings.txt file to change the settings.

@darwinia i was running the game in the menu when i tried it and it did give me a error which said to me that i could continue if i wanted to :)

Разница не заметна :(

@D4 Damager
Does the configurator give an error afterwards?
Are you trying to change the lighting mid-game?
Some more details would aid in understanding your problem.
Hope you can get it fixed soon!

Hi, the configurator doesn't recognise that insurgency is running, what do i do?

Ah, thank you for the informantion man!

Another thing I should mention, I couldn't get the Configurator to load unless I change the drive letter in all the lines inside configurator.ini because my game is installed on a drive different from c:.

@Hingle McCringleberry
I didn't know that would casue the injector to crash :/
Thanks for letting me know about that!

Figured it out, I had Gamma Correction forced to On in Nvidia Control panel so I just set it to off. Now I just need to remove that side gradient.

Also, I followed through with the readme but I still crash once I put d3d9.dll in insurgency2/bin. Not my AV or permissions and I triple checked all the files were in the right place. I get this in the log:
D3DXCreateEffectFromFile failed
try to use "H:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\insurgency2" for shader files.

@Okami Senpai
Follow up to my previous post, you will also want to adjust the values under the Lift Gamma Gain catagory and the Vibrance catagory.

@WO2
I'm glad you figured out your problem!

@Okami Senpai
In the configurator, look at the Tonemap category.
In the details box near the bottom are the values you want to adjust.
The main details that should affect the darkness would be saturation, exposure, bleach, and gamma.
Sadly, there isn't a "one value fits all", so you will have to adjust a setting, alt-tab back into the game, and see if it fits your monitor.
I hope this helps you in solving your problem. If it doesn't I will see about finding a value that won't make the nights as dark.

Fixed it, checked in the configurator.ini folder and changed all to the correct DIR, jumped the gun a bit on asking for help. But yer, if anyone else has similar issues (or if they have a dumb momement) check the DIRs in that file.

The configurator does not load. I see the process start, then it just ends. Looked in event log, says it opened and closed normally (so no errors).

What values do you change to make the dark ass maps not pitch black?

In day maps, yes
In night maps, its more of the opposite, with light sources giving off a semi-realistic amount of light, without making the map feel like its bathed in a full moon 24/7

So, basically the lighting is brighter with more jucy colors...

Video showcasing District night has been uploaded.

@Sir.Mr.Sargeant.Man
Due to the update changing a lot of the night maps' color scheme, I plan on retaking screenshots and uploading them. And Its not as complicated as the description makes it out to be. At the core of it, its just dropping files into your insurgency2 folder and disabling any AA. I just wanted to be concise when detailing the instructions.
