Thanks very much:D
It doesn't work for me. The picture on the left is what I get with or without it.
Hi
If you're on win10, rename the dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll.
After
Try to switch between the d3d9.dll files, from the altd3d9 folder.
Make sure you see ENB running in the upper left at start, then use the pausebreak to enable and disable the sweetfx effects to make sure it's working.
