Really if you dont have SweetFX, you needa get it. But be warned, once you use... your not gonna want to go back because with the right settings the game is 1000x more beautiful and best of all it doesnt hurt performance. Heres a few more screens from earlier today with my pants changed and into the cold norn area.... :p For those that wanna try the settings im using, feel free to PM and ill send you it.

Can you pls send me your settings?

EDIT: Thanks got it!

I think it won't.

BTW, I love your settings, mine were rather odd. Will use SweetFX always now, zero performance loss.

One other question.  I heard this won't work with 64bit versions of games.  Is that true? 

GW2 is a 32bit application Doesn’t matter if you install it on a x64 OS, if the executable is 32 bit then it runs as a 32bit software. But you do have to run it as administrator for it to work, otherwise your client crashes.

SweetFX is really nice, thanks a lot.

Need to fix some AA in mine but will do that once I wake up tomorrow I guess. :p

You can check their official statement on this matter here:

https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/account/Policy-Third-Party-Programs/first#post354869

but technically as long as nothing is modified in any way of Game file or gameplay you dont break their ToS. It´s just a  "injector" for directx ....like using a photoshop filters for image but for a game.  It´s been used in other games without getting banned, its even used in the original Gw1 and peoples been using this since beta. I bet they are aware of the using of this mod for the game, you can find it in their official tech forums, Im sure devs would hopp right onto it the second its talked about....

I can see the difference already! you can take screens in Hi-res bitmap though if you want, just from your gw2 shortcut properties under Target you put -bmp at end like this 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -bmp

Epic, mind sending me those settings? Would be greatly appreciated. :D Looks amazing

Enable HDR, some vibrance and then AA and it will look quite good (tweak them to your liking), leave rest as it was set up from the start (IMO). :p

But they override the dxd.dlls?
it Was a banable offence in world of Warcraft if i remember correctly..

Not that its a huge issue, But was just thinking best to get arenas stance before people us it..
