may need to reinstall direct x, but first please post a picture of the problem if you can, and give us some info such as computer specs, operating system, if you are able to use sweetfx on other programs. Also, have you followed the troubleshooting section in the original post?

Can you make ULTRA Sweetfx for NBA 2K15, and I like V2 sweetfx for now

[goldenstate77]

hey man, i'm out for a bit until after the first, but i can pull together another version. just give me some specifics--more color, more fog, regular lighting or lighting overhaul, and any other suggestions.

[MILKMANANT]

Does this work for Vista? When I drag the files to my 2K folder, the game doesn't even pop up when I run it.

[goldenstate77]

It should work but I can't say for certain since I've never tried. Be sure to disable steam overlay--that's the big killer--and try the other troubleshooting steps in the original post if you haven't already. If someone else is running Vista please reply back so we can confirm it works thanks

thx man. i will try to finish an initial "stratus" version this weekend.

[lidz28]

awesome!! bro!! can you add this fog fx on ur v4?

[goldenstate77]

awesome!! bro!! can you add this fog fx on ur v4?

hey man, yeah, that's exactly what i'm trying to do. its been a little complicated because some of the shaders are conflicting but i'm almost there. may not be an "everyday" effect... but might be fun to slip in for big games or playoffs etc.

Ok guys i've been experimenting with GEMFX, a cool tool with a lot of potential for tons of games. Big props to LuciferHawk for creating it. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?672484-Generic-GEMFX-Version-1-0-6

I have two betas, very much works in progress, but since time is in short supply these days, I thought I would upload both in current state. My thinking is that I can finish faster with some feedback. Again, neither are perfect--far from it--and I haven't test on all courts or My Park.

The first is "stratus beta", which adds some fog, atmosphere type effects. I based it on V4 lighting overhaul (loosely). GEMFX allows the combination of sweetfx shaders, but doesn't include all of the newer ones (like black/white levels etc) so I tried my best to replicate the look while adding the atmosphere effects. it's a monster--so it will effect performance. I will continue to optimize.

The second is "experimental enb effect", for lack of better name at the moment. GEMFX has two preset shaders that replicate the look of enb with respect to enbpalatte. There are problems--the whites are a blown out (I can fix this) and it screws with the color blue i.e. changes colors of courts / jerseys (I'm not sure if I can fix this). I haven't spent much time on this beta but I wanted to upload to show the potential. There are some atmosphere effects included in this one as well.

https://mega.co.nz/#!pc1BXbBS!-NP5eOBhXixTCQXWPEuznhkgJllbq06dB1Avybn38ZY

So again, these are for fun at the moment, so let me know what you think and perhaps with your feedback we can turn one or both into an official release.

Also, Reshade is out, which is money. Win 8.1 users don't have to use radeonpro to force sweetfx for most games any longer. it isn't much of an issue now for nba 2k15 because we found a efx+sweetfx combo that works, but still, for all other games it's just great. I think there are folks working on cool shaders, and you can import them yourself if you wish. But it already works with sweetfx (there is a combo beta).

To install the betas
Download using links above
Remove all sweetfx files from NBA 2K15 directory (if you are currently using sweetfx). Save first for easy revert or just redownload here on this site.
Unpack all the GEMFX files (one beta at a time, obviously) and copy and paste the files into main NBA 2k15 dir.
Fire it up.

Note you still can't use precision, afterburner etc... BUT you can turn on Steam's ingame overlay. For whatever reason it works with GEMFX (but doesn't work with efx+sweetfx, so don't forget to turn off the overlay if you revert back to sweetfx). Using Steam's overlay was the only way I could take screenshots, since all the other programs seem to be incompatible with GEMFX.

If you want to tweak the GEMFX files yourself, double click on "GEMFX_Configurator.exe" once you've copied it (and all other GEMFX files) over to the NBA 2k15 directory.

I'm out the next few days traveling but will check in. GL!

Here are some screenshot from the status beta (links above). Poor quality shots (steam overlay, explanation above)...

i've had one user report a "msvcr120.dll missing" error on win 7 while trying to run the game with the stratus beta. please let me know if you encounter this issue as i'm searching for a fix. if anyone has ideas, please let me know. also let me know if the betas work for you, and what operating system you are using. i'm leaving in a minute for work but will check in later...thanks.

[lidz28]

for msvcr120.dll missing error just download this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=40784 and it will run fine

That's great thanks!!!

i've modified the stratus beta--i think it's an improvement. I need another hour but may have to wait until the weekend.

Can't wait for new improved releases

[buddaking]

I love that stratus beta haze fog mod. I think it's your best work by far for 2k15.

I'm waiting for the full version as well.

[pistonnation]

If anyone could help me out here, I would be gratified. Currently I have run into a major problem. When I run NBA 2K15 DEFAULT through steam, everything runs fine. When I add SweetFX files to my NBA 2K15 directory like so...


I end up with this error:



Followed by this:



ALL drivers are up to date. All required installations are installed, this is the full legal copy of the game from steam. I just cannot get it to work for my life. Funny thing is, I used this SAME exact SweetFX on my old computer and it worked. This new Install of WInodws 8.1 x64 does not like it at all. Any ideas? I want to use this SweetFX.

Helpful: I have tried TBM's SweetFX to no avail... NO SwettFX's work for NBA 2K15. Am I missing something?

EDIT: FIXED!!! Thanks for the great suggestion goldenstate77 and lidz28! Downloaded this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download ... x?id=30679 How very noobish of me.

[goldenstate77]

i assume you covered this but did you disable steam overlay, and try the msvcp110.dll fix posted above by lidz?

[goldenstate77]

I love that stratus beta haze fog mod. I think it's your best work by far for 2k15.

I'm waiting for the full version as well.

Thanks man I am putting final touches on the stratus final version--just need another 30-60 minutes and hope I'll have a chance this weekend. one of my kids has the stomach flu and i have the series 7 exam next week. boo!
