Guild Wars 2

Hey folks, I’d like to try out some of the graphical enhancement mods I’ve been hearing about. At this point I know literally nothing about where to look and how to get them running so any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Full disclaimer: I know 3rd party software is frowned upon, and I have no idea if this falls into the category of offensive addons, so please correct me if it does.

It won’t affect you if it doesn’t help you in combat or help you in ways human can’t. Otherwise, search ‘SweetFX’

Third party software that offers any kind of in game advantage or otherwise goes against the EULA is strictly forbidden. Graphical overlays don’t interfere with the game itself (they’re just something placed over the top essentially) so they shouldn’t be an issue. However they’re not officially sanctioned and therefore do still pose a risk (though many people use them without it ever being a problem, so its basically up to you).

You’re just going to have to google SweetFX or GemFX and find them through there. I’m pretty sure there are guides on the GW2 Reddit if you need some help.

Google reshade which combines the various filters from SweetFX/GemFX. The easiest way to get this to work is via Overwolf according to Wooden Potatoes. Here’s his vid on it.

Graphic modifiers are awesome, I like GemFX the best, so much so that I cannot play GW2 without shader injectors anymore, here’s some comparison shots for you:
