Just a quick update :p, crafted IL and tuned down a bit sweetfx and changed zone since Cm+ Sfx is too shinyyyyy :D. How you play the game is your business, but maybe next time you share screenshots you could turn down the SweetFx first, for the rest of us XD I do like more gw2 oversaturated, some zonea rly need it imho. Yes i do use a Doped version of SweetFx :p (tho CM is rly bright for some reason xD ).Im still working on a Sword the can fit better with the whole combo :p. I think I would go with a slightly bulkier sword than the rapier, like the whisper's secret blade, but nice job here! I think it is pretty good, I especially like that you managed to make the heritage pants work in an interesting way. SweetFX packs some post-processing shaders like LumaSharpen, Technicolor, Sepia and Vignette to name a few, giving the ability to change games colors and other effects beyond original game settings. Hello thx, that is not a back piece, in fact is part of the aether shoulders, but it looks like a bacpack is rly neat.ĭo you use SweetFX or something? The colors seem a little weird to me, but maybe it is just because of how bright it is in front of CM? SweetFX is the name of a shader bundle created by ceejay.dk with collaboration from other community users from Guru3D and other internet forums.

This is as simple as adding -provider Portal to the launch arguments, which superceeds the built in -provider Steam argument. Knowing this, we can very easily override the provider from steam to the regular account system by overriding the provider argument. It's not doing anything fancier than that, it's simply a launch argument. Next, go back to the Battlefield 1 installation folder and open the SweetFXsettings.txt file that we extracted here earlier, and again press control+A to select all of the content. When the game is run through Steam, internally it runs Gw2-64.exe -provider Steam.
