How do you install it? I put everything in the executable foldern and ME3 ctd straight away.......

Glad that fixed it. Have fun with the game! =)

It's the ANSI format that did it!! Before this when I tried to use the x32 d3d9.dll the game would crash right off the bat, but it's working fine now.

Thank you so much, you're awesome!

The game is DX9/x32. So yeah, of course nothing happens if you use a x64 dxgi.dll . =P

Make sure you save the preset file in Ansi format. And check if there are any overlays running. Origin, Steam, Afterburner or Fraps. They could interfere with the injector and crash the game.

Hi could you please help? I really want to use your preset but it doesn't work for some reason. I'm playing it on Win 7, DX11, and I have to use the x64 dll's in order for the game to start. But once it starts, nothing happens. I tried to disable/enable sweetfx but everything looked the same. I thought it was because DX11 doesn't play well with version 1.4, but in the earlier comment you gave a download link to version 1.5.1 and said the config should work with that version, so now I don't know what the problem is.

This looks awesome and I don't want to use other preset, so please help. Thanks!
