SweetFX error

[grover1]

Hi all,

Just got CFS3 back up and running and now I'm just finishing up adding in SweetFX and AnKor's .dll's.

Whenever I go to start CFS3 with SweetFX enabled, I get the following error "The procedure entry point Direct3DCreate9Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Games\ CFS3 ETO Expansion\d3d8.dll."

I think the error is because I may not have DirectX 9 installed. I'm using Windows 10 if that's any sort of clue.

Thanks,

Chris

IIRC and you just started Win10 the you have to install DirectX 9

I decided not to use SweetFX. Too much hassle for me right now. I'm going to rig up a dual-boot Windows 7/Windows 10 in the very near future for CFS3 and all that

IIRC one might need Dx 9 just for Shaders 30.

With Win7 you'll still need the June 2010 DirectX 9.0c installed. Same with Win10.

I switched to Reshade a while ago. It will warn you that it needs a special injector dll file. (that's probably what SweetFX broke when you tried) Don't install it, because it would replace AnKor's equivalent file breaking our shaders.

Once you download the Reshade installer, run it, select CFS3.exe, ignore the warning, select the D3D9 button, let it install the default shaders, and you're done.

Is Reshade the same thing as SweetFX? I'm assuming it provides the same benefits as FlightFX and SweetFX it's much easier to set up!

... Once you download the Reshade installer, run it, select CFS3.exe, ignore the warning, select the D3D9 button, let it install the default shaders, and you're done.

I wish it was that simple...

After I start ReShade_Setup_4.6.1.exe, I have to browse to the location of CFS3 as it isn't listed. The installer then gives a warning about using Direct3D 8 and that I need an additional 3D wrapper, which I ignore and the program then has the bullet for Direct3D 9 already selected. Clicking on that bullet just to make sure, I continue installing the preselected shaders and when I start CFS3 I get the following error: 0xc0000005. Clearly I am doing something wrong or else the program is not for me...

[MajorMagee]

Those are exactly the steps I've been following with success.

I'm not sure what the error code 0xc0000005 is.

AnKor's d3d8.ini needs to have NoMultisampling=1, and you can't be using any in game AA.
