ENB with Sweetfx for Left 4 Dead 2

Version 3. 0 - March 2022 Update

ENB with SweetFX

Rebuilt & Tested with an RTX 3060

I have improved the file structure & created new settings files, with tweaked effects for both ENB and Sweetfx.

Changes have been made for additional memory tweaks, image enhancement, lighting/shading,  SSAO Occlusion and SMAA support.

ENB now provides additional  effects through its 2 ini files, proxied through separate d3d9.dll (sweetfx&smaa).

Sweetfx also contains a DXGI file that is a dx10 file and has been renamed to d3d10.dll.

This allows for dx10 effects to be implemented in games supporting dx10 options in addition to dx9 options.

SMAA will help reduce and improve edges.

While SSAO Occlusion helps improve the rest of the game.

Slightly reduced glare while maintaining light levels.

Shadow improvement, appearing in a more natural gradient.

Improved picture clarity, color and character appearance.

Should not impact performance in any negative way.

Please Disable in-game Anti Alias, under options, video, advanced or the sweetfx will not work.

In-game: Turn film grain slider off

To Update: If you are using a previous version of ENB with SweetFX, just overwrite the existing files in the game folder.

If you are using the reshade with sweetfx, remove the existing files in the game folder first before installing the new files.

If you prefer the older settings, just download the older version and take its preset file from the files sweetfx folder and replace the newer preset in the game folder. Both share the same name, so no other changes are needed.

To Install:

Download and extract to the following location :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2.

Start and play. (Adjust ingame settings)

Please Disable in-game Anti Alias, under options, video, advanced or the sweetfx will not work.

* Scroll Lock to toggle effects On/Off

To Uninstall:

Simply goto the game folder and remove the same files.

They will be in bmp format and quite large so you will want to convert them to jpeg.

Trouble Shooting: Mod

ENB Version - If the game is extremely dark and over-saturated.

Goto the preset file Left 4 Dead 2.txt, found in the SweetFX\Presets folder and change the SMAA line from 1 to 0.

ENB Version - If the game fails to start or the graphics are incorrect

ingame, try switching the D3D9.dll with one from the altd3d9 folder.

Copy one of the four and paste it over the existing one in the game folder.

Try each one, until you locate the one appropriate for your video card.

ENB Version - If the game has performance issues or microstutters.

Open the enbseries.ini and change the AllowAntialias=1 to 0.

Install the DX9 final release if you haven't done so previously. DX9 Final Release June2010

DX install: Download and run the file, tell it to extract to c:\dx, then after goto c:\dx and run the dxsetup file.

This will not downgrade your DirectX but rather add
