A/R2:TW GEMFX - Version 1.0.9

[googlemebrah]

Yayay super update! Don't take my last comment the wrong way.. I love this mod and you do incredible work, would not be able to play Rome 2 without it

Excited for the new updateeee!!!

P.S I wish I had the knowledge to be able to do what you.. Jelly

Awesome!!! Looking forward to trying it out and see the FPS counter there too Don't know if it's too late before release but is there anyway of making the in game GEM menu easier to see as currently I have to squint to see what the letters are (albeit some of the colours available make it a little bit better than others).

As always many thanks for your continued hard work for the community

Edit* I guess what I was trying to say about the menu is to not make it transparent

I'm using GEMFX v 1.07 for Rome 2.

I installed all the vcredist needed , net framework too.
My Os is windows 8.1 all updated.

I can run your amazing mod only with compatibility mode ticked. Does this effect performances or some special effects in any way? I mean using in compatibility mode

Thank you!

No, on windows 8.1 I would actually recommend to have all windows updates installed and therefore run GEMFX in compatibility mode. It allows you to properly use the SteamOverlay and take screenshots with it.

Aventura from the second link 3rd one down I think..

Dev Update
To explaining the delay follow this
In conjunction with that news I also made progress in previewing tweaks without starting a game in an offline preview window that contains an image to which the shaders are applied.
Little WIP preview on that::

Good job on 1.07. I'm using Windows 8.1 and getting great image, other than UI with GEM really hurts my eyes. When I click BY-Pass UI, Gem does not work with any compability option on, I tried all of them. Game crashes at the start of campaign or battle map. Any workaround for this?

Update GEMv1.0.8
After quiet some delay, it will finally be released
- DX9/DX11 fixes to on-the-fly tweaking
- DX9/DX11 import of SweetFX presets into GEMFX
- DX9/DX11 creation of GEMFX presets from within the offline configurator
- DX9/DX11 preview (before | after comparison) section in configurator
- DX11 overhauled god rays
- DX11 FPS visible in GEMFX menu
- DX11 improvements to the motion blur shader with many values to tweak
- DX11 fix of crashes with FrostBite 3 Engine (as tested with FredAG)
- DX11 greatly increased performance of all ambiente light shader (theoretically half impact)

Status:: Preparing files for upload...

The new preview function


NOTE:: For the preview feature, you need to install SlimDX for .Net 4.0 (the preview feature does not seem to work with Win8.1 yet but feel free to try, I might just implement stuff next time without SlimDX)

Now that's what I'm talking about Awesome job with before-after preview thing, can't wait to try it. Thank you for all your efforts mate have a nice day!

Where is the download? I'm ready to test Preview seems like a cool idea can we swap out the image used or is it just a set one?

It can be changed by just replacing the default one. I am trying to find a quick solution for the preview problem on Win8.1 which I just noticed before uploading the 600mb again ...

Nice. I see generic 1.08 is up - When can we expect it for R2?

I tried a few things to get the preview feature working on Win8.1 but to no avail. I will release the R2:TW version today. However, it will also need a new GEMSteamInstaller, since there are a few new files included.

Hi, sorry if Ive missed something but the offline configurator is no where to be seen in my game directory. Little confused as Ive follewed all steps.

Thanks

[whitefox24]

Ah you have to click the steam installer shortcut ok. sorry

I assume he's having some heavy technical problems with the R2 version. I am certainly intrigued to see the result once he's got it resolved.

Can someone tell me how you totally remove GEM?
