GEMFX (new shader injector)

**proximusj** · December 14, 2014, 07:46 PM

Hi guys!

Just throwing this out for all the people out there that would like to add some extra flavour to their TATW experience.

LuciferHawk created an incredible shader injection tool with lots of awesome features that work lots of games (dx9 & 11, x84 or x64 ). Main features are Dirt Lenz shader, super-easy configuration, lighting tweaks, tilt shift, sweetfx bundle and many more.

Here is the link to GEMFX : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-Version-1-0-5

Well, there it is. Try it out, and if you like it don't forget to thank LuciferHack for his innovative work.

Some pics (I hope they make justice to LH work

):

pd:
Uploaded my GEMFX preset in case someone wants to try it out.

Cheers!

I could never understand why to use so extreme shaderrs, even GEM 2.2 seems to much for my taste.Personal opinion, no ofense.

What do you mean? Did you installed GEMFX and my preset already?

I can start by telling you my specs: win7, phenom II 965 OC (3850mhz), nvidia gtx 680, 4gb ram.

From there I use nvidia inspector to apply 4x MSAA + 8x SSAA and Ambient Occlusion (FIFA 2014 preset) to add soft shadowing to grass and units.

I use nvida Control Panel to apply 1.5 ratio DownSampling (DSR) to add more antialias.

In game M2TW AA setting is off, but all others are at max quality.

And finally GEMFX intalled with my posted preset.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that I play M2TW at locked 45 FPS.

I mean this

I see, download my attached preset and place it in "GEMFX -> Presets -> Current" folder. That way you can have my settings.

much better. Just a small detail, the dark areas are too dark. xD looks like plasticine. it distorts in darkest parts.

What part GEMFX can I change that?

I think they are the curves, but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

EDIT: I FIX it

Anyways.. I crash whenever i try to start the game if i install GEM. Where is that version compatible with Medieval 2? Because i only see 1 download.

This entire shader is revolutionary... the configurator he made is outstanding... must have taken hours to combine all of the effects and balance them... and he did it just for M2tw.... I wish our community understood how cool this is... instead half of the responses can't figure out how to move files into their game or don't like the current .cfg and won't spend time to modify their own... just spend a couple hours with the configurator and it will change your gaming experience... and this will work for any DX9 game...even MMOS.

And even more good news, ReShade is coming out in a few days. Thats an advanced shader injector that will open new posibilities for PC gaming graphics.

Glad to hear that. I can see how much Shades can do to make a game look better.

That is the rtw2 one no? Or does the rtw2 one work better for mtw2 than the mtw2 one?

LuciferHawk created 2 versions; RTW2 GEM and Generic GEM that is compatible with all other games.

Hey there, when I put in your settings the configurator.exe ceases to launch. The error message is specific about some values that are unexpected.

Has anyone come across this? Thanks in advace.
