sweetfx, radeonpro, gedosato, nvidia inspector--nothing is properly hooking this game. I can't force vsync with an outside program, and I can't make the game look way better than its grayish, non-sweetfx self. http://www.reddit.com/r/sweetfx/comments/2ni82i/cant_use_sweetfx_with_far_cry_4/ Here's a bunch of info on what I've already done and tried. I've tried 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.5.1, eFX, and a special Win8 version of Sweetfx. None have an effect, and if I use the x64dll, I get a crash with this line, [12:02:33] D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain redirected successfully [12:02:33] Hooking swapchain... [12:02:33] D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain failed: 0000000080070057 Any idea?

I can say at least Fraps shows up in-game.

FC4 is 64-bits. It worked the first try for me with SFXConfig. Use Boulotaur's 64 bits DLL. Anyways I uninstalled that boring game after 2 days. Climb tower, capture outpost, kill soldiers, hunt animals, get mauled by a fucking annoying eagle, rinse, repeat. Story is nearly inexistant, and what is there makes no sense. Sure glad I didn't pay for it. FC4 = FC3 but in India, and FC3 = FC2 but in Africa. Ubisoft is falling so low it's ridiculous.

Oh yeah try disabling desktop compositing in the shortcut's compatibility settings, and run the game as Admin.

Celice • Try this: • I was getting the same Problem for ages. Then i got my preset to work for a min and then it stopped again. • So i found those new SweetFX files based on SweetFX 1.5.1 but with many new Shaders [ Not Boulotaur2024's or normal 1.5.1} • Now it works like a charm with even better results. • Go to my Far Cry 4 Preset and there is a link in the description with those files. • http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/2601/ • Give them a try. I made the Preset above with them.

Quentin, I have tried your shaders. They look the same as the 1.5.1, and give the same error, [15:38:44] D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain redirected successfully [15:38:44] Hooking swapchain... [15:38:44] D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain failed: 0000000080070057 ! Dkatt, I have already tried the x64 shaders, and they give the above error. I also added your options, and the game gives the same crash. I've also been suggested to try Vista SP2 compatibility and editing some GamerProfile lines, which still give the same crash or non-hooks. I have tried running the game at the lowest settings in case some postfx was messing something up. It made no difference.

Celice Try this Go to your system settings and set it to run for best performance that way it will turn off desktop compositing and few other things. That's what i am doing.

Don't really know what to say, it worked fine on my PC. Have you tried installing directly from SFXCOnfig? ( http://sfx.thelazy.net/forum/sweetfx/44/ )

Quentin, I have already disabled desktop compositing for this exe, and it did not help. Thank you for the suggestion. Dkatt, I have tried your program. It gives the same crash as the others (Most of these are just the 1.5 with x64 dlls). [16:17:39] D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain redirected successfully [16:17:39] Hooking swapchain... [16:17:39] D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain failed: 0000000080070057 ! Does anyone even work on sweetfx anymore? I understand Reshader is being worked on. Who is doing this, and will they be able to explain what the error code means?

The error means an invalid argument was passed to a procedure in the DLL (do a search for 80070057 here: http://www.carrona.org/winerror.html ). That could be a number of things, but is probably due to another injector interfering with SweetFX (passing sweetfx a parameter that is supported by DirectX but not implemented in SweetFX). You probably have another program using an injector for an overlay of some kind. Steam is known to cause issues. I doubt it's a problem with SweetFX itself since it worked fine for me (and others too since there are presets on this site...). Try closing every program that has an icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

Using radeon pro on 8.1, working perfectly no issue,..... may be your doing something wrong

I am sure I am doing nothing wrong. I have been using sweetfx for nearing two years and only had one problem before this, with Metro Redux. I turned off all extra processes that were unnecessary, both in the bottom-right task bar and through system explorer. Still same problem. Occasionally the dx10 error doesn't stop the game from launching, but I still get hard crashes using x64 dll. the original dll never hook the game. I get an issue for every setting, for example this is with only SMAA enabled, [16:32:36] D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain redirected successfully [16:32:36] Hooking swapchain...
