Love the new FOVs and extra seat movement range

 

[miuqana]

One question, the .exe file is already patched with the 4gb?

 

[GTR233]

of course it is clearly written in readme description

I love this patch, but it seems like there's a problem with the SweetFX included with this patch, since when extracting it in the same folder as the GTR2.exe the game doesn't want to open anymore.
Any idea why?

 

[Bjarne Hansen]

SweetFx is pretty outdated by now if you are on Win 10?
Reshade is developed from SweetFX .
Can use same same settings as SweetFX but gives you higher FPS.
Reshade also got issues with config/ Gtr2 but run config first and then copy the d3d9.dll into gtr2 root folder.
Might also work with SweetFX?
Also do not set compatible with older Windows just set it to run as Admin.

you must copy all files and sweetfx folder too in main gtr2 folder (where your gtr2.exe is), and select directX9 in gtr2config.exe because it will not work in directX8.
Moreover you cannot use both sweetfx and XD plugin together because they use the same d3d9.dll library

I already did that, but it seems like SweetFX simply doesn't work with Windows 10.

 

[GTR233]

so try Reshade as Bjarne suggested above

Sweetfx works with windows 10 if you had read and followed install.txt : directX 9 2010 package is mandatory

Download DirectX Redist (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows...

It might surely work ... as I have on one install XD + Map plugin + HDR + ENBseries .... working with this d3d9.dll but .... that needs different config files.

I just followed the instructions I found when installing all those files ... so how to explain it? ... I don't even know.
NB and it's working with Win10.

I saw a map plugin for this game and i want to use it; the problem might be the game version: the one in the patch is 1.1 and the game doesn't want to start. Should i just use the 1.0 game version?

 

[GTR233]

Which plugin ? Because answer will be different, I mean :
- if it is Sweetfx/reshade then you MUST install Microsoft DirectX june 2010. And it also depends on your graphic adapter : by example my video card can run Sweetfx but not Reshade.
- if it is MapPlugin then you MUST open your PLR file and modify this line WRITE SHARED MEMORY = 1
- if it is XD tool then you need a specific GTR2.EXE : either the v1.1 from STEAM or the NOCD available in 10th Anniv.Patch. Indeed if you have unlocked (Ferr./Por.) the steam gtr2.exe with hex editor then XD will not work.

And NO, it is not recommended to use v1.0 as you will have issues. Anyway steam, Power&Glory3.2 and 10th Anniversary Patch are already patched to v1.1

in my case, i have a physic copy of the game (from which i've installed it, obv) and i already had set the "write shared memory" to 1

 

[Bjarne Hansen]

XD and Map plugin will not work with the Steam Gtr2.exe only with the 1.1 NoCD version.

gtr2 hd tex mod downloaded with 2mbps(my standard speed)....gtr2 10 anniversary patch downloading at 20kbps.....the contrast is alarming.....

 

[GTR233]

Stop download and retry later then : we are the week end so I guess servers are busy/overloaded.
The mod will still be available tonight or tomorrow

It's been almost 2 months, but I've found out how to make the SweetFX work with GTR2, you just have to do 3 steps:

1. Delete the dxgi.fx and dxgi.dll files that come with the SweetFX
2. Turn off anti-aliasing in the configurations
3. Turn on SMAA (or FXAA) on SweetFX_settings.txt

The game should open normally, and you'll be able to see a slight change in colors when pressing the scroll lock, that means it's working. Posting it in here in case anybody ever needs help with that.
