Fatal Error: Failed to initialize direct3D. I have the steam game on Win 8.1 x64. What shall I do?

Thanks

I don't know. Why not just use downsampling? It's pretty simple with nvidia cards. There are tons of how to's on forums everywhere.

I know the game has SSAA, but it's too costly for my taste and FXAA doesn't seem to do much. Is there any way to force something like MSAA through the control panel?

The game has SSAA. You can also use downsampling.

Got the preset to work and the game looks much better now! However, I can't for the life of me get rid of the annoying jaggies. SMAA is alright, but doesn't cover everything. Does anyone know some Nvidia Inspector tweaks to improve the anti-aliasing? Thanks a lot!

Using notepad++ solved it, thanks. That was the weirdest type of error i've ever met lol.

Try to re-save the the file with wordpad instead of notepad. I'm using Notepad++ to change the config. Maybe your system has some problems with that. The log files says that there are some illigal characters. Saving the file with another editor could help there.

the only preset i didn't manage to make work.
disabled FXAA in-game. downloaded the injector. extracted all (x64 files) in the win64 folder. added the preset from here. started the game,"thief.exe stopped working".

i even tried to use the x32 files (in the x64 folder). in this case the game started but sweetfx was obviously not working. i think that the injectors it's the cause of this because even your the walking dead S2 preset didn't work for me.

No problem. Glad i could help! And no, i'm using different hotkeys. You can change them in the SweetFX_preset.txt. The options for this are all the way down. Toggle on/off should be insert above the arrow keys.

Wow, so that was the explanation I needed! Thanks a lot for taking your time to explain this to me! Despite reading the FAQ, I was confused by the fact that you used less files than CeeJay's release and I didn't know exactly which ones were needed and which ones were not. I am really excited to try out all of your presets now that I know what to do, they're just that awesome! One final question though: do you still use the "Scroll Lock" button to switch SweetFX ON or OFF in-game? That way I can test if it's working or not!

I'm using another injector provided by Boulotaur2024. All files you need are in this archive i provide in my links.
The only difference with the setup is that you need less files. There are no .fx files anymore. Nor a injector.txt.
So, only use the files you find in this archive.
For a dx9 game you'll need the SweetFX folder, the SweetFX_settings.txt,SweetFX_preset.txt and the d3d9.dll.
For DX10/11 it's the same only with the dxgi.dll instead of the d3d9.dll.
If you had SweetFX installed previously, deinstal it and use only Boulotaur2024's files.

And thanks for the compliment! :)

Hey there, K-putt! I think you make some of the most amazing presets but, sadly, I have never been able to figure out how to use your specific version of SweetFX? With CeeJay's official releases I just extract everything in the folder containing the .exe file for the game and that's it! However, I never got any game to work by doing the same thing with your specific version, THIEF included! In the download links above, are providing literally every file you need to run your presets, or does one need to add your files on top of CeeJay's official release (1.5.1)? Thanks in advance!

And so I won! I happened to get to work in the 32 version. Applied program Radeon pro and it worked! Cool!

Again, you need to use the x32 dll's for an x32 executable. Don't use the .dll's from the x64 folder.

But here is the same story in 64 is activated, and in 32 no. Sadly overall. Original soap picture even do not want to play. Eyes get tired! A Sweet quite another thing in perception and good eyes.

That's the problem. SweetFX doesn't work on Win 8.1 yet. eFX could work.. but this preset probably doesn't work with eFX.

The game lags and slows in x64 version. So I have to run it in 32, in this version the game does not lags. But sweet fx for some reason is not activated, and 64 works fine.

IMPORTANT FOR WIN8.1 64bit USERS... NEED INSTALL LATEST Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012!

You'll need the normal .dll files for the x32 version. x64 dll's are only for x64 games.

Please tell me,and how to make it work in x68 version thief? In version x64 thief effect works, and if these files are copied to the 86 version, the game starts, but the effect does not work.

Win 8.1 and SweetFX dx11 doesn't work.

@Kaycooper. The game is an a**hole with sweetFX. It's bit bugged and all shaders get totally overblown. The colors change in each level as well. And to be fair, the game looks awesome as it is. it's just a bit sharper now. And i adjusted the darkness levels.
