dont know if you guys have tried this but its really cool

http://fpswin.com/battlefield/battlefie ... ok-better/

some people worry about pb bans but its perfectly fine to use.been using it for a while now,freinds also,with no issues.

Thanks Ice. Not sure I'll do this to BF3 but I have used FXAA Injector on Skyrim and it can make a huge visual difference aesthetically speaking. As you say this is no hack and is perfectly safe what the tool will give the user is a load of extra graphical colour tweaks so you can enhance contract and saturation to bring out colours. BF3 is a fast moving game most of the time and so you may not always have the chance to appreciate the visuals and its this reason i'm unsure if this game warrants it, but as said a visual splendor like Skyrim is so much enhanced.

One thing I would warn of though is the FXAA tweaking tool can take a while to get used to and you could be tweaking for hours until you get the result the pleases you personally.

Another thing to note is that this will not give you any advantage on the battlefield you cannot change individual colours of soldiers so you can see them easier nor make things invisible or anything like that...

accually its really easy to use.theres only one number you really need to change as it states on the site.i recommend this to everyone because it really makes bf 3 come alive....give it a try,if you dont like it,just delete the files and folder you put in.

Some of our members feel that this is against our rules for RaW because we are editing the game and game files making it easier to see people?

many are already running this i am sure.


If not banned by EA or Punk buster. what can we do?

ya ive heard that before but i can honestly say,it aint improved my game any.ive got you servers as faverites,ill prove it when you guys are on sometime,lol.btw,where that sarge and tbone,would love to kill them again.old freinds.

So, you're saying this prog can enhance contrast?

Really?...This has never be brought up in any meetings, Admin or SA posts. This does not breach any RAW rules of conduct.
This tool is as different as one user having different colour and contrast settings to another user.

Neither does this tool alter any games files. AA is already an option in the graphics settings what this tool does is allow more control over what settings you use for the visual look of the game.


possibly...in my experience in using FXAA tool in Skyrim I have been able to deepen the contrast and saturation of colours in effect making dark areas darker and colours pop more. Also there are AA options to increase or decrease AA effects and apply additional sharpening giving the impression that you seeing a higher resolution image.
Most of the colour changing results any user could apply by making changes to there monitor and desktop colour settings. however this would apply to ALL games and programs on your system. Using the FXAA tool allows changes to individual games.

Interesting. Sharpens/enhances and a bit more contrast...

Sounds helpful for all of us, and I would think esp good for folks with TN panel monitors, to help sharpen up images at distance... a key thing lacking in FPS gaming on most TS panel monitor screens.

Based on comments I've seen here in the forums over the past several years, many folks seem to think the image quality is great if their monitor can do high-def, ie, 1920x1280 or 1920x1080. IPS panel monitors give much better sharpness at distance at any resolution than TN panel monitors. IMHO, based on my experiences with my monitor, and then seeing my buddy's playing BF3. The key is getting the IPS monitor with as low lag/delay as possible. Mine is fine. I have a Dell/Phillips # U2410.

I am the one Briggs posted this message for. What he neglected to mention here is that he told me the "program" altered color AND shadows. I have no problem with enhancing color or contrast or whatever people feel makes the game prettier but if the game did remove shadows like he told me it did then I would have a problem with that and I would bring it up an admin meeting.

Just DL'd and installed it, and played one map... I just notice the pop of stronger colors. I have not tried to adjust it at all to this point.

Ok after trawling the web for some info the argument about the FxAA tool in BF3 has been going on for a couple of months.

Dice's response is that there is still on going investigation as to if identification and use of the tool should be kickable and or bannable.

PB's thoughts from what i have read are that it is not recognised as a true Nvidia developed tool and will not be currently supported by them. However there are apparently 1000's of users out there using the tool and many which are chasing and waiting for official responses from PB, evenbalance, EA and Dice.

It seems that no one has been banned for using FXAA tool, a few report being kicked for an unknow device driver whilst using FXAA tool settings and may 1000's more are using it without any issue.

Considering this I believe its a use at your own risk option...

I've also raise the question of the PBbans forums for see if we can get a response there, I'll advise if there is any.

ps. the same type of tool has apparently been used on BFBC2 for over 2 years.

Like I said, i didn't notice an improvement, in terms of 'seeing' the bad guys any better. The game is more enjoyable in terms of the bolder colors. Also did not notice a performance hit.

How about adjusting contrast?

If it gets banned, I hope it will be easy to un-install.

yeah you just delete the files you copied in to your BF3 folder, as said it does not change any game files and there for there is no uninstall process apart from deleting the file you originally inserted.

AS mentioned I use this for Skyrim for those that may be curios but not want to risk using in BF3 try the Skyrim version here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=131 you'll see the same tools and the great appearance improvements that can be had and as Skyrim is single player and does not use PB you take no risks.
