@MarcBurn just use reshade. make a filter that resemble this mod = profits.

please update

So sad it don't work!!!
Look So Great

Doesn't work

Yep it does indeed crash, a pity, such a cool mod

Same problem as previous comment, crash at startup with this mod enabled.

Shader Crash on startup. Does not work in 7.10

Nice, Pharaoh does need some love!

Update:
The relevant shader code moved and changed a lot, so while it is possible to migrate the mod, it will take some time and effort to do so.

Overwriting shader files in mods seems to crash the game since 7.0 and is likely not on my end.
I shared the issue on the Egosoft/X4 discord. Let's see if any dev can help.

I would like to have more time looking at it but I am super occupied with modding Pharaoh at the moment.

Let me try to find some slot soon to have a look at it again (need to get used to the modding tools again as well)

Shame this no longer works since 7.0. Fantastic mod and i'm really hoping that in time we see it updated.

Doesn't seem to work on 7.0

Not sure about 6.0 but it can cause issues on 7.0 so needs an update anyways.

Is this mod still working for 6.0?

I'm also getting the bug where the NPC comms window is compressed. Ganossa - really hope you're still working on this mod and can fix it, as aside from this issue GemFX makes the game look amazing

Will keep an eye on the Steam workshop updates.
Thanks for your work!

There might be quiet a few changes obsolote to be honest, as I did not touch the mod all that much since before 4.0 (they broke some of my pipeline after, which is why MSAA is now recommended).

I am working on other projects at the moment but I believe -given enough time- I do will come back to clean things up here

(Just saw your comment regarding my questions. Thanks for the fast answer. I think I can live with that. :D )

Unfortunately I also just noticed, that GemFX kills the glow effect of nearby stars. Spotted in Black Hole Sun IV. The sun glare and light corona is completely missing. Hoping for a fix.

At the time I worked on the mod, it was only possible t replace the existing number of presets, which is why a single pack is limited to that number.
You will unfortunately need to swap those out.

The vanilla ones are not available with GemFX as I found them to have nearly no impact on visuals (mostly adjusting saturation)

Great mod!
Is there a way to make presets from other GemFX mods show up in the list, like, have presets from all the mods in one list.
And is there a way to add the vanilla colour correction options as well? I'd love to click through all of them comparing without having to toggle things off and on and restarting the game.
It's hard to decide for one! :D

i'll try wome tweaking when i got time, i'll post if i find a solution

I saw this myself in the 6.0 beta but assumed it was a bug with the base game.

Since 6.0 it seems this mod causes my on-oard npc videos to appear as miniatures in the top left corner of the target/map window :(
I use MSAA 2x

Understood. I'll make the change. Thanks again!

The problem is that only MSAA still provides a frame buffer that GEM FX relies on to accurately calculate light sources.
The devs unfortunately removed it from other AA methods in some patch.

I personally use 8x MSAA with AMD FSR Ultra quality. (that is on 1440p)

Ganossa, one last quick question: I know that you recommend MSAA, but I've always used SSAA x 4. Is this just as good, or would you still recommend that I use MSAA instead?

Will do. I recently upgraded my gpu and cpu so it's like a whole new game. Looking forward to trying your preset. Take care!

You are most welcome ))

In the Beta 6.0, try
- submod "gemfx_ganossa_luts_02"
- select filter "Undiscovered Country"
- set Gamma to 88
- of course use any MSAA filter to get proper light effects

Thanks for the reply Ganossa. After some extensive testing, the issue was on my end. Oh, and thank you for this absolutely wonderful mod. I can't imagine x4 without it.

I tried with the 6.0 Beta and it works just fine.
Nothing has changed on their side in supporting various AA methods, so the current recommendation is:

any MSAA to have it fully compatible

Hey Ganossa, just curious, how does your mod affect Beta update 6.00? I'm using it now and, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems.... off. Sorry I cannot explain it better, but I was hoping you might know something about the interaction of your mod and the new update. Take care.

sun disapear in some systems like argon prime

The mod makes the game look nice, but it seems like ships and stations have green lines around them whenever they are far away, how do I fix this?

Okay, I think I might just disable the lens effect for now. Will try to release something for the weekend ))
(sorry, have been busy lately with other mods)

I did, but MSAA in dusty regions makes weird white model borders. Looks ugly. So, I prefer FXAA.

Did you try with MSAA or using a mod that removes the highways?

Oh, I see the black screen problem on entry to new system with highway lines is not for me only.
Will it be resolved soon? Or is there any graphic settings that can remove this bug?

Not sure about removing suns entirely but it does remove some sun effects that had been looking very artificial in previous patch version. I might remove those changes and see if it improved.

For some reason, this mod seems to cause the sun in some sectors to disappear completely, like Argon Prime or Profit Center Alpha.

I could still consider to get rid of the unpredictable texture entirely until its more stable/equal in all the graphic settings.
Like you wrote, before a certain patch it was fine but then it got iffy.

MSAA, for some odd reason, still has it working as it was before it got all bugged out.

Okay Seems to be working just fine for me with FSR off and MSAA at least it is not messing up when going through gates I don't have any highway loop tho

I need to adjust my Real Space project and maybe make a Real Space 2 I think something has happened as my darker LUTs appear brighter than vanilla colour profile now it only changed the spectrum of colours.

That was a issue I tried to fix back in late 4.x

Ah, right, I meant highways. I wonder why I never experienced this issue though.
In the "worst" case, I will just stop using that buggy "bloom" texture and tune down the light effects until the devs change it again.

@Ganossa: You sure you mean superhighways? I use a mod that removes all in-sector highways. But superhighways connect sub-sectors, so I m pretty sure you don't want them to be removed.

I didn't try it with MSAA tbh. I'm going to enable the mod again and try it.

last time I checked the issue also happens when you enter or exist systems via gates.
I will double check

WIth and without MSAA

Same issue for me when going through accelerator to next system, everything black except for hud and sun in Hewa's Twin II. Disabled mod and restart game all good.

I actually use a mod that disabled superhighways. Do you see the issue also when you select MSAA as anti-aliasing option?

For me everything except the hud turns black whenever I take the superhighway into sector "Averice 1" (is that the right name? In German it's "Habgier 1"). And I use Real Space preset.

EDIT: It works when I DISABLE distortion. GemFX is then still working - at least the picture reacts to changing the preset. And when I enable distortion, everything goes immdiately black again.
But no matter th distortion setting, when using the suprhighway again, the issue appears again. Just like Mo¡stDreams reported-
