amd 14.9.1(beta) and also previous driver. Tried all the steps.

looks like you are having the same prob as a few others--game is crashing when sweetfx+efx is loading xinput. can you tell me what devices you have plugged into the computer via usb? my understanding of xinput1_3, part of the Directx package. my understanding of xinput is that this is what loads your various device settings (i.e. keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc).

what type of mouse and keyboard you are using? i.e. brand/model.

[intruda]

Keyboard logitech g510(no special software) plug and play
logitech g500s mouse same as above
8gb usb stick
ps3 controller(uninstalled drivers and software when testing)

Couple of usbs for charging electronics.

Just tried unplugging my controller and everything else not keyboard/mouse. Got correct direct screen, correct legal screen then crash to desktop.

[goldenstate77]

thanks intruda... jakey and ET what keyboard and mouse (make and model) are you guys using?

[ET Da Gawd]

Amazon keyboard, logitech t650 pad, gaming mouse, got a blue mic connected and that's all

[goldenstate77]

First, try adding the following file to the game directory. if it doesn't work, delete it. try this first, delete it. (Note, when I started my game with this file I thought it crashed to desktop, but actually only minimized the game, so take a second look if this happens to you:

link to file: https://mega.co.nz/#!oM9WTA6a!7fR0WRGTW ... OMKT2E-lYI

Second, have you tried starting game with admin privileges? just a thought


Third, can you guys try starting the game without your logitech gear plugged in?
-unplug logitech gear
-restart computer
-go to task manager and search for any logitech processes, disable if you find any
-start game
this will be a lot easier with spare keyboard and/or mouse (or required if you both are logitech).

Tried with the dll file and still didnt work, even tried kevparkers new sweetFX, same issue....The only thing I can think of is that maybe theres an issue with the ds4tool im using. But thats what I use to use my dualshock 4 on the pc....ughhhhh so frustrating

**Edit..tried to use without ds4tool, still crashing, updated the directx11 again, same stuff

[vrinho]

I have Win 8.1, latest 344.11 NV drivers with GF Experience installed, MSI Afterburner running in background and SweetFX is working just fine for me. But I had problems yesterday because game didn't want to start at all, the problem was in DirectX... I just installed it from _CommonRedist folder in game folder and now everything works just fine. Thank you goldenstate77!

glad you got it working. seems to be hit or miss with folks. luckly more hits than misses but still frustrating for those who can't run the mod. post some screens when you can!

lame man. sorry it's not working. I'm still searching for possible causes... one dramatic step is to refresh windows, but wouldn't personally recommend this just to get sweetfx to work. If you do, be sure to create a custom refresh image (google recimg.exe) so that it keeps all of your programs. I was having random issues a month ago and the process was totally painless, and my system has been running like a caddy since (and dropped 20 gigs!). do you have pagefile set up?

Yes, it's strange... But obviously it depends from machine to machine, it's a mistery

Here are some pics.... I'm still playing with settings.

nice shots vrinho.

[xevangz]

goldenstate77, windows 8.1 thanks though

[goldenstate77]

xEvan, you couldn't get it to run? did you try the troubleshooting steps in OP? also can you post your log.log and dxgi.log files?

[goldenstate77]

xEvan, also do you have any logitech devices...keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc?

[Disciple]

Windows 8.1 user here. I haven't gotten it to work after doing the following

1) No extra conflicting programs running like fraps etc

2) No unnecessary processes running

3 )I reinstalled directx a few times

4) Disabled antivirus

5) I am still using Nvidia driver 344.11, but I did remove GeForce Experience and that didn't help

Still a no go for me lol. It does look like a nice tweak you have put together so maybe ill get it eventually

[goldenstate77]

disciple, thanks for the detail above. there are a handful of win 8.1 users who cannot get the mod to work. if you post the log.log and dxgi.log (in game directory), I can confirm whether or not you are experiencing the same xinput error. xinput is part of the directx pack in windows, and I understand is responsible for loading device settings (keyboard, mouse). Interestingly, at least 4 people with the issue have a logitech device. if you also have a logitech device, please search for any logtiech related programs and processes, and try disabling (or uninstalling) before launching the game. also, I have been searching for other possible solutions, and came across at least a few folks who have indicated that updating from Win 8 to 8.1 caused issues with direct x, issues that remained until they refreshed or re-installed windows. have you ever refreshed windows?? if you do, i recommend creating a custom image (google recimg.exe) so that you can save all of your programs and settings. I am starting to wonder if perhaps the mod is only working for win 8.1 users who have at some point refreshed or reinstalled windows. i doubt it though, as it seems to be working for the majority of win 8.1 users.

goldenstate77,
hey man, may I ask how is it possible to load shaders with efx?the efx.ini file contents that it is possible to load effects but I didn't quite understand how to!
I suppose that it's possible to load effects from enb (the effect.txt file) but I dont understand how to create new lines!
thnx in advance!

[Disciple]

I will try to pull the log next time I play 2k. Interestingly I do not own a single Logitech device or have ever used one on my current PC. I use a corsair keyboard and a mionix mouse and installed a ready to go windows 8.1 versus purchasing 8 and having to update. Finally, no I have not reinstalled windows. I do plan on doing a fresh install soon so maybe that will do the trick.

well its a good question. in standard efx you load them via efx.ini (look at bottom of efx.ini). However in this particular efx+sweetfx combo, they are loading the shaders differently, as I don't see the commands there. you can download the regular version of efx and play around. I don't know how enb interacts with efx, as i've never messed around with it, but i'm sure you can ask on the efx support forum. you essentially point efx to the shader file. in this combo, you can see the actual shader files in sweetfx\shaders. im just not sure how they have pointed to them in this case. my understanding is that both efx and sweetfx are no longer supported, as the creators are collaborating on a new project, code named reshade. apparently it is close to release, and is way more powerful and compatible.

there goes my theories, lol. can you (or anyone who has not been able to get my mod to work) try downloading the efx.ini file linked to below, and copy/replace with the one already in the nba2k15 dir, and give it a shot? be sure to copy the original, so you can revert back if it doesn't work.

[Disciple]

The log I posted has been removed

[PROBLEM SOLVED SEE OP]

[Disciple]

I have not tried the recommended ini swap yet fyi.

EDIT: I have tried that replacement ini file and still encountered the crash. Note that I did not bother removing GeForce experience this time around, but I did go through everything else on the checklist.

[goldenstate77]

yep, same xinput error as a few others. still searching for a solution. let me know if the ini i linked to helps...

[Disciple]

*Please see edit on last post*

Thanks for all the brainstorming put towards troubleshooting. It appears this problem is hiding somewhere lol. I like others am very excited to move onto windows 10 and forget that 8 was ever on my PC...
