▼ORIGINAL/DEFAULT▼ All images are the same setting game ! ! !

▼NO CHANGE GAME SETTINGS▼ only improve FXAA, colors, contrast with SweetFX.
I try for highest quality at the lowest price for NO fps/cost. Without extra effect SweetFX (HDR etc)

At first set no change DPI, run as Administrator
To do this, right-click the application and then click Properties ( C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonJust Cause 3 ) On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, run as Administrator and then click OK

Second, in the game set graphic than you prefer. Antialiasing must be off (default in game is blurry – we use better) and disable vSync (unlock fps more than 30+ ).

thirdly download SweetFX [link] this program only improve directX graphic setting, 1.32mb. Last version not working good. I use my modified version download ▼below

run program SweetFX and instal to Just Cause 3 directory – DX11 option. Warning game is 64bit, DX11. Do not use DX9 settings., sometimes SweetFX automatically select the wrong !
Or
download my SweetFX settings and copy to the game directory and run game – all SweetFX setting are already set. ►► [link] ◄◄

Can just as easily make changes during the game via txt. 1 for ON or 0 for OFF. SweetFX settings are in game directory C:Program Files (x86)/Steamsteamapps/common/Just Cause 3/SweetFX/SweetFX_setting.txt … open and change SweetFX_setting.txt.

It looks complicated but it’s easy,- its here more fun setting. You can make changes during the game, but do not forget save changes – will be reflected immediately in the game.

If you have problem (game crash and other) disable SweetFX. This setting improves graphical environment and antialisaing (not so blurry) without more up demands on hardware in this setting. Of course when you apply another setting sweetFX hardware requirements may are going up multiply… I hope it will help you for better gameplay this great game. Personally I use this setting on NB Acer Nitro i5 2.9-3.5ghz 4210H, 8gb ram ddr3L 2133mhz (kingstone-nonstandard), gtx860m gddr5 2gb. I have difference in fps 0 to -2 if sweetFX is on, despite the fact when the game starts show me message – less RAM than as recommended (8gb is recommended).
How that? For GPU+CPU is much easier to use colors filters as HDR, Bloom etc.

Download, Install, Unistall + a few types to set. game

Still It is complicated? ▼▼download▼▼ my settings and copy to the game directory
►► [link] ◄◄ and run game,- done. Remember antialiasing in the game setting must be off (we use better) and disable vSync (unlock fps more than 30+ ). The four modes – the difference in colors – technicolor off (original), technicolor (real) and technicolor2 (colorful) or mix technicolor1+2 (best quality). Can just as easily make changes during the game via txt. 1 for ON or 0 for OFF.

how to unistall? its easy – erase ReShade32.dll + ReShade64.dll + ReShade.fx + SweetFX directory + d3d11.dll (It’s reshade injector)

Disable internet conection or add game to firewall (inbound, outbount block connection) i dont know why, game go more better..also avoid problems/game bug…every 5 min game try connect to server, cannot connect to server etc..(online mode do not save game – absolut unnecessary)

Nonstop game start in window mode? Really helped me run the game with the command: /borderless /windowed

8gb ram and game often use swap HDD? Use ready booster ! If you do not have SSD, just connect USB-key (3.0). Only you need 4-8 gb free space. USB-key (3.0) is much faster than HDD. Also textures eat ram, literally. For 8gb ram + 2gb gpu I use medium quality (me personally enough, to reduce the burden on Swap)

How to optimize details in game?
Recommend first reduce shadow to medium – UP performance. Who has time to peek to shadows? Shadows are just less sharp and also has not see a difference in water quality between the middle and the highest settings… with low and medium difference is already. Try and you will be see. Water medium quality vs very hight
(NO difference for eye)

Process on purpose, I showed that you can easily set yourself as needed, not only in this game 🙂

If this helped you please leave a thumbs up, thank you.
