Hey guys,
I thought I would share my SweetFX setup with you. SweetFX allows you to mess with your games graphics, applying filters and stuff.
The setup I use applies a bloom effect and faux HDR along with some other stuff to brighten up the game graphics. If it's not your style, just open up the settings file and play around with all the settings.
To install:
Download the attached zip file and open it up and copy the contents directly into your Iris Online folder.
You might need to turn off any forced Anti Aliasing in your graphics card control panel but I leave mine on with no noticeable loss in performance, but it really depends on your card.
To uninstall:
Delete the files you copied into the Iris Online folder, making sure not to delete anything else.
To change settings:
Open the SweetFX_settings.txt file in notepad or another text editor and read through the descriptions of each setting and toggle it on and off. 1 is on, 0 is off.
You can keep the game running when changing settings. If you are playing in full screen mode, the new settings will get applied when you alt-tab back to the game. If you are in Window Mode, just press the Pause key to apply them.
You can toggle everything off/on by pressing the Scroll Lock key (Scroll Lock is also used to start capturing a video ingame so you will have to cancel that each time).
Here you can see how it looks
