SweetFX works with AMD and Nvidia hardware alike.



SweetFX is a visual enhancement suite which can alter tonality, contrast add HDR and Bloom among many other things. It is in effect an active "photoshop" filter for games.



To install place unzipped files in both /SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (Beta Version) /game and /SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (Beta Version) /boot directories. You can alter the settings in your SweetFX_settings.txt. I also recommend adjusting your in game gamma.

Even when the server transfer service becomes available, they will be unable to move to new servers for several months. New characters can be made on either new or legacy servers. The primary difference is that no character on new servers will be older than than the Phase 4 Beta. Measure the pros and cons of both, though minor and temporary, and make a decision for yourself.(Previous FFXIV OT: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513901 [coming soon](Highly Recommended (by Riposte) ♦ http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html - The Lodestone.
