FAQ
1. Is sweetFX not considered an invasion for VAC's purposes?
No. Just an invasion of good taste.2. Do I have to reinstall sweetFX every time a patch comes out?
Nope, its very generic, just changes colors after they have been rendered by the game. Should work with most things that render 3D using DirectX.
3. Instructions very unclear, copy the SweetFX folder to the dota 2 beta folder, but where to paste the SweetFX_settings.txt after copying the preset? Can you give me a screenshot of your dota 2 beta folder?
It confused me too, but I figured it out. You have to extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP into the dota 2 beta folder, not just the folder inside of the ZIP. Yes, you should have the SweetFX folder in the dota 2 beta main folder. Next, you move the two specified files, the dll and the other one (I forget the name) into the bin. The Settings file is already pasted into the dota 2 main folder from when you extracted the ZIP, so just delete the text it contains and replace it with the preset. Hope that helped, message me if you have any more questions.
4. Can you explain what SweetFX is?
DirectX injector that adds fancy post-processing effects like SMAA, sharpening and colour tweaks. If you've ever used the FXAA Injector for Skyrim, it's similar to that.
