Graphic improvement

[neoiq5719]

In case anyone is interested I put this IMPERATOR FX in all my total war games and I think they improved graphically. Since I have a top of the line rig I dont care much about fps drop but some ppl say it might have a 3-5 fps drop. Well is free so here u have it in case anyone wants it. In warhammer was impressive I have to say.

It would be cool if you would put some screens to show it

[neoiq5719]

It is difficult from a screenshot but maybe since rome is old it makes less difference than warhammer I think

Looks very nice!

Can I be used with GEM or is it supposed to be used by itself? I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to graphic mods.

[neoiq5719]

I really dont know since I have never been fond of GEM, I just use it by itself

[KAM 2150]

If you properly tweak GEM you can get much better results as I am not fond of default GEM setting.

As the KAM said tweaking GEM works like charm but im not that expert of those things and use Slyfear' Ad Finitum preset (Thanks to Tenerife).

Check the third message and download the "Realistic" one

And here are the results from a preview of mine. I find the setting quite decent and nothing that fancy about it. Colours are natural and matte and overall brightness is perfectly balanced.

I downloaded yours and plugged it in, and mine looks much better, but mine doesnt have the beautiful depth of field that yours does... turning on DOF in game settings does nothing.. any help? Mine has basically no DOF at all ):

I am new to all this fx settings (including GEM), so can someone tell me how to apply it?

My Rome 2 is non-steam version.

Its the cinematic mode of GEM and to need to enable all you need to do is pressing K button but i suggest you to use for taking screenshots. In game i mean for battles i do not recommend to use it.

Hope it helps,

*I still suggest adjusting according to your monitor.

Do you use these settings?

[neoiq5719]

yeah I have seen that before but for me the GEM gives the game this hazy kinda look and I prefer the clean HD look.

You can have that with GEM too, you just need to turn off blur

[RoninSan]

This is an injector? Like SweetFX?

[Dead*Man*Wilson]

Thanks for th input guys. I believe I'm using the ad infinitum setting for GEM, but i set it myself and didn't download a preset. As KAM stated, GEM is pretty customizable, and I have a pretty crisp and clear image. I might try some alternative mods or GEM settings though. I would also highly recommend Philip and Pettelus' enhanced particle mods.

i love the preset of Ad Finitum but i think its to dark

[Vardano]

Ad Finitum is my favorite preset too but I tweaked it a bit, I don't like options like DirtLens or LensFlares and changed Contr Bright in settings, so now game does not look too dark.
