!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT USE SWEETFX or any other FX INJECTOR when playing on a online server that has Punkbuster enabled!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your BF2 License Key will receive a permanent unrevokable global ban.

For local single player games or LAN party gaming, it is possible.

Try Terras converter using SweetFX as a plugin, it is a very nice combination.

FXAA, SMAA and SweetFX INJECTORS, make game graphics awesomest!
FIRST A WARNING. DO NOT USE THESE PROGRAMS ON ONLINE MULTIPLAYER SERVERS TAHT USE ANTI-CHEAT TECHNOLOGIES LIKE PUNKBUSTER, YOU MIGHT?CAN GET PERMANENTLY BANNED.

Using two pieces of software, you can make most of your games look freaking awesome.
(any game that does not use OPENGL graphics)

First download and install FXAA Injection Tool:

Then download Ceejay's SweetFX:

Using it while playing PR, CoD4, BF:BC2 and tried with BF3 without PB kicking me, although PB kicked me a few times for using FRAPS.

I will be using it until I get banned, then I will learn a lesson and just buy another copy.. almost free nowadays.

Checked in SweetFX:

- SMAA
- LumaSharpen
- HDR
- Vibrance

..default settings.

Here is a comparison:

Postimage.org / gallery - BF2 2013 01 09 21 11 29 64, BF2 2013 01 09 21 10 24 40, BF2 2013 01 09 21 10 11 18

I think it looks better and dont kill performance that much.

P.S. You have to disable Anti-aliasing for this mod to work.

Still no problems from PB side.

I suggest we can make it sticky, so I can post more screenshot comparisons and other injectors, but I think SweetFX with a GUI is the best option.

It only improves the image quality with almost no performance loss, for example SMAA is faster and better than MSAA.

Where did you get the info about being banned for using a graphic overlay ?

The PR Tech Team will provide zero support for programs like this and I strongly recommend not to use it.
Play the game like it's meant to be and do not use a program that might result in getting you banned from servers.

Even though you cannot be sure if one day PB decides to ban you think about the serveradmins analyzing your punkbuster screenshots and realize your game looks different.

Understood.

Sorry to bump an old topic but the advice given here was not so good, i use sweetfx in almost every game i have, online or not, never had any issues what so ever, so its totally fine to use, people get paranoid because it uses dlls but trust me it will be fine.

Posted: **2013-09-28 18:13**

Anyone who does use SweetFX would you mind posting your settings or maybe a compare/contrast screenshot please?

Posted: **2013-09-30 22:36**

I posted my settings here along with a guide for best possible graphics
