since my battleye updated i cant launch the game with d3d9.dll in the folder.. is there anyway to fix it? rlly love sweetfx while playing Dayz mod

Man I don't know. Bohemia is weird with their attempted anti-cheat methods. Make sure you are using Ceejays injector since boulotaurs doesn't work with the game any more (used too in older beta builds). And if that wasn't the problem they are probably restricting d3d9.dll from working with Arma 2 and there's not much you can do. (aside from not use battle-eye, but then you can't play Dayz mod).

hello, so after trying sweet fx i wanted to remove it from arma 2 OA. i think i deleted all the folders that were connected to sweetfx. When trying to start the game i get this (jn my log) "full path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ redirecting CreateDevice initialising shader environment D3DXCreateEffectFromFile failed C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\d3d9.fx(40,10): error X1507: failed to open source file: 'SweetFX_preset.txt" this happens after the tick boxes come up right before the game should launch. I have tried a re install (of OA), validating steam cache, running as admin, deleting and sweet fx related files in my comments. None of which has changed anything, Some help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS, EDIT, FIXED - for anyone else havign this issue remember to delete ALL the addons!! e.g BRIT ARM FORCES as wella s arrow head!

The recent Battleye update seems to be causing issues with launching DayZ mod using the d3d9.dll method. This is likely due to changes in the anti-cheat software that are incompatible with the older method. Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed fix at this time. However, you might try updating your graphics drivers or reinstalling the game. In the meantime, you could explore alternative methods of using SweetFX or wait for a potential update from the mod developers or Battleye that addresses this https://thevacuumwizard.co.uk/product-category/model/dysonv15/ issue.
