Do you use a graphic mod?

[SerDakota]

SO i have thinking about using a graphic mod to change things up, I am curious do a lot of people out there use them? If so what are some of the best ones?

This seems like something that would be against the ToS...

I've not heard of it personally.

It's not.

sweetFX op, sweetFX.

I don't think there are any. But you're better off asking the subreddit than this place.

The one that's been brought up in the forums before is called 'reshade'.

Look it up on google.

Utilizing such a tool would not violate any agreements customers have with Square Enix, and we don't plan on doing anything to restrict users from accessing it.

However, we advise that players use this at their own risk. Square Enix does not regulate the content of the aforementioned add-on and will not be responsible for any damage or losses resulting from its use.

Finally found it. Was an old thread we participated in way back in 2013. The entire thread is for SweetFX; an ENB injector used to really increase the visual quality of FFXIV. And we spent the entire thread trying to get a GM's approval for it.

It doesn't modify the game files directly, it just changes up the lighting and shadows as part of post processing. As such, it's not directly against the ToS (if anything it gives you a DIS-advantage since it can cause graphical lag), but it's probably for the best not to discuss it here all the same.

With that said, the best screenshot modifications I see are all done in Photoshop, not with Reshade.

All PC users try this

https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/4260/

edit McFX.cfg and change the line

from : #define USE_AMBIENTOCCLUSION 1
to: #define USE_AMBIENTOCCLUSION 0

save exit unless you actually like that menu transparency thing I've course.

then

set it up something like



Could even go 128X but the higher you go the more fps you lose I have a stable 65 to 70 with these before it was like 110.

and then enjoy the improvement

Been fiddling with this and I'm very impressed that it can make my ROG go below 50 FPS with settings. I now have to figure a way to get a constant 60, even with your settings suggested.

Kudos, the game looks fantastic with this.

NOTE: ROG comes with a GeForce 980M card which is slightly below the 960 if I recall benchmark tests. Might be the 970. For a gaming laptop, this thing can most of the time eat any game without even worrying one bit. This is the first time I think I've seen a below 60 FPS rating with these settings which makes me even more impressed with the amount of detail played in here. Makes the whole world a whole lot more interesting too.
