By d_pwr
Ever played tf2 or any source engine game on max settings, but SFM on the other hand suffer from DirectX 9 shader 3.0 nonsense? This guide is for you!

Is This Guide For Me?
If you get this message:



and you have a computer that can play Source Engine games with no problem, then, yes!

SFM is not working as intended because it isn't recognizing your graphics card (a common issue with modern Intel GPUs) and therefore blocking features like bloom, ambient occlusion, volumetric lighting and normal contrast/brightness.
Credits
Special K - The Official Wiki Tutorial on how to enable HDR output in DirectX 9 games [wiki.special-k.info] for making me realize DirectX 9 games can be made compatible with newer hardware.

dege-diosg[github.com] for making dgVoodoo2.

This YouTube video by a zurrai ("HOW To ACTUALLY Fix The SFM 'Unsupported Graphics Card' Problem!!") for the FALLOUT.INI file.

Things you'll need
dgVoodoo2[github.com]
a program that tricks SFM to think that you are using a GeForce from 2008 (because of course that it's a supported graphics card)
FALLOUT.INI
optional, to be honest I'm not sure how it helps, but it seems to in some machines
Known Issues
If you have experienced any issues/ know any fixes or improvements, please write a comment and I will do my best to add them here!

Issue: I can't download/use dgVoodoo2! (newer versions)
Any build after v2.86.1 are for some reason flagged and anti-viruses false-detects them. Please use v2.86.1

Issue: Rendering a sequence at max samples crashes SFM.
Currently, the only known fix is to lower the samples, unfortunately.
dgVoodoo2
Download and extract the required files

  • Download dgVoodoo2_86_1.zip
  • Open your SFM "bin" folder.
    Steam Library → right-click SFM → Manage → Browse local files → "game" folder → "bin" folder
  • Export dgVoodooCpl.exe and dgVoodoo.conf to the bin folder from zip.
  • In dgVoodoo2_86_1.zip go to "MS" folder → x86D3D9.dll and export it to the bin folder as well.

Set-up dgVoodoo2

Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and change the following settings:
General
Appearance
Windowed: Unspecified
DirectX
Videocard
GeForce 9800 GT
VRAM
Set depending on your GPU, I will choose 4096 MB. It can be 512 MB. 1024 MB, 2048 MB...
Misc
Disable "dgVoodoo watermark"
Apply changes and then press OK.
FALLOUT.INI
This file makes SFM run more smoothly on some systems with this file.

For some reason this Fallout 3 file helps, but I doubt we need all of it (I mean, "grass" and "speedTree", really?). If someone knows why and if we can delete some part that aren't critical, please tell me so I can trim this gigantic part of the guide!

In SFM's "bin" folder, create a new text file and rename it: FALLOUT.INI
Notice the file is not a .txt file (If you aren't sure)[helpdesk.flexradio.com]
Open the file and paste the following lines:

@Balls24 What you’re getting are graphical options that should work (like bloom) but aren't because SFM isn't recognizing your graphics card.
Basically, this guide is mostly relevant to people with laptops/intel gpu that are getting a popup every time they open SFM telling them their pc isn't good enough for a software from 2012, and therefore blocking some core features. Without them, SFM looks all washed out and ugly, although they most likely are able to run SFM smoothly.
If you haven't experienced any problems like this (see the "before" picture), then SFM is running as it should and there's no use in following this guide.

wait, what im getting is that SFM has graphics options that dont work by default?
