Note
Be careful. The Colorful preset only works with the very last version of SweetFX 1.4 by Boulotaur2024.
Don't worry, the "How to section" (This guide, part 3) explains all.
Part 2 : FPS boost
First of all don't forget to turn off the ingame Vsync.

I tweaked the VideoOptionsConfig.xml in order to have a FPS boost without a too big IQ loss.

Changes are :
  • lesser resolution for shadows (2048 from 4096)
  • lesser resolution for water reflections (1024 from 2048)
  • motion blur turned off
  • ghosting fixed

Image quality is just a bit altered but remains as close as possible to the ultra config.

Use it only if you have a "poor" framerate (between 30 and 60 fps) but a correct GC (GTX 560 Ti 1GB or better).

The game will look like that :

Could you please update this so I can apply it in 2025? :) SweetFX seems to have changed to Reshade and it's not working anymore (at least not with DX12, it fails with "the procedure entry point createdxgifactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll") - so how can I get this? It looks awesome!

can the 3 preset be converted to Reshade settings?

@Shadicluigi your mirror unfortunately doesn't work either. And yes, I did replace the [dot] part. :P

Here's a mirror for those who can't find the links, contains the balanced preset: anonfiles[dot]com/B6scP4v0pb/Fable_3_zip

how do I apply all 3 at the same time?
BobboilDandee 13 apr, 2020 @ 13:56 
guide is outdated, links are dead, instructions are terrible.
Sleepyhead 4 apr, 2020 @ 19:00 
Every time I try to install this I get an error "Improper shutdown detected, If the problem persists check the readme". The game will only then run after I take out all the sweetfx files, verify and close steam after. Anyone happen to know why the sweetfx isn't working?
