Hello,
@Vaeltharius
In order to run Sacred 2 with SweetFX v1.5.1 (Official Download) first you need to do the following:
1. Put the SweetFX files where the game's executable is, that is the "system" Folder.
2. Delete the following files from SweetFX:
dxgi.dll - DirectX 10/11 proxy dll that will inject shaders into DirectX 10/11 games
dxgi.fx - DirectX 10/11 specific shader code
Since the game is pre DirectX 10/11 era these two files will give you trouble launching the game.
3. Configure the Settings you want to use in the "SweetFX_settings.txt" file. You just have to change the "0" to "1" in order to activate the effect in the game.
I personally use it with the following settings activated:
SMAA_ANTIALISING
BLOOM
HDR
LUMASHARPEN
LIFTGAMMAGAIN
VIBRANCE
CURVES
Let me know if it works for you.
Regards
