Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Steam only) photomode tools v1.0.5
Added 2024-11-02 17:47:53 +0000 UTCCamera version: v1.0.5
Released on: 06-mar-2025
Compatible with: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Steam
Documentation: https://opm.fransbouma.com/Cameras/dav.htm
NOTE: Please read the readme.txt and/or docs (linked above) regarding pausing cutscenes for shots!
NOTE: The EA App/EA Gamepass version currently doesn't seem to work, so the tools needs an update with updated patterns for that version
NOTE: If you're using v1.0.3 or higher and get crashes immediately after injecting the dll, please specify in the comments which GPU you're using. I had to make two code paths for different GPUs (RTX 40x0 and everything else) and it might be this isn't entirely correct for your GPU.
NOTE: I've re-attached v1.0.2 for the people who have crashes with 1.0.4+
Features:
Camera control: (Also in cut scenes and photomode)
FoV control
Free unlimited camera movement and rotation
Timestop / game pause control

HUD toggle
Hotsampling (resize the game window to any resolution)
Configurable input interpolation for smooth camera movement/rotation/fov zoom in/out
Higher LODs
Higher resolution for local light shadows
Toggle to disable DOF
Bloom control
Configurable keybindings
Configurable gamepad buttonbindings
Changelog:
v1.0.5:
- Fixed: The depth of field effect was enabled again in the game after injecting the dll when the Disable DOF checkbox in the client was unchecked and the depth of field was also disabled in the game settings
- Fixed: Roll wasn't properly set when you restored a camera state from one of the three camera save slots. This also fixes the roll being wrong at times when you moved through camera path nodes and then moved the camera away to a different spot
- Fixed: The overlay wasn't visible on RTX 50x0 cards
v1.0.4:
- Fixed: RTX 4050 cards weren't showing the in-game overlay
- Fixed: The mouse pointer could disappear in some situations when the overlay was activated. I think I have covered all possible scenarios now and the mouse cursor should be visible properly when the overlay is active in all situations
- Added: Added the lightunit type to light editors, so you can pick a type that's brigher, which helps in dark areas
- Fixed: Removed clamping on some values in the light editors so you can now increase brightness and volumetric fog settings way higher
- Added: A light is now attachable to the camera
- Added: Higher shadow resolution setting
v1.0.3:
- Added: Lights are back! They now should work ok without crashing the game and the tools now also shouldn't crash the game anymore when injecting
v1.0.2:
- Fixed: I'm terribly sorry but the lights feature has a crucial issue which causes the game to crash as soon as you open the character menu after creating a light and I don't seem to be able to fix it at this point. I've therefore disabled the feature for now. I'll re-enable it again IF I find a way to reliably create lights and not make the game crash elsewhere (as who wants that, right? )
v1.0.1:
- Fixed: Added mouse support and input blocking for camera when the menu is up. If the menu is hidden with the hud toggle to e.g. use the camera in a cutscene, the camera can now be controlled by the mouse.
- Added: Custom lights (Spot light and sphere/point light). The in-game overlay (opened by default with Ctrl-Insert) is now also supported, and contains the Lights tab which offers light creation and editing of custom lights. This feature can be a little rough, e.g. mouse pointer not working or some settings not doing anything. The mouse issue is something that I sadly can't fix, the settings not doing anything could be related to your in-game settings or their effect isn't visible at distance you're looking at the light.
v1.0.0:
- General: First Release
Comments
It should work fine on a 3060. Please check without mods/upscalers

2025-05-04 14:07:55 +0000 UTCSo the game crashes instantly when injecting on v105, the gpu I have is geforce RTX 3060
alliminoobers
2025-05-04 13:50:58 +0000 UTCI don't have the game on EA and from the looks of it, they have some additional encryption layer around teh exe so that's not going to work ... so I'll refund you
FransBouma
2025-03-11 14:56:42 +0000 UTCah. sorry to learn that. might you make it compatible with EA app in the future? if not, i will take the refund then. thank you!
Nist
2025-03-10 20:54:10 +0000 UTCIt's not going to work with the EA app version, as it's incompatible. You're absolutely right that it's not mentioned anywhere. That's my mistake and I'll correct it on the main page with the game list (where it should have been mentioned). If you now can't use my cameras, please say so and I'll refund it.
FransBouma
2025-03-10 20:39:20 +0000 UTChello. i subscribed because on your info page Veilguard was not listed as (Steam). i could not access more info about the mod before subscribing. i have the EA app version, and i'm confused. some places it says that these tools are not compatible with EA app, and elsewhere it says that one needs to update some patterns for it to work? and yet another place it says one needs to disable the in-game overlay. i read a little on the documentations but didn't see how to turn off the overlay or what to do with patterns. what do i do to have it work on my EA app version? i don't want to start injecting the mod into my game, in case it doesn't work. thanks
Nist
2025-03-10 20:37:10 +0000 UTCGlad that fixed it! :) Will update the post now so others see this update as well :) Thanks for testing!
FransBouma
2025-03-06 11:23:55 +0000 UTCIt works now, thank you so much!!
Ceran
2025-03-06 10:55:33 +0000 UTCThe card nvidia sent me is simply too unstable in my system so I couldn't test the tools with it, but I have blindly added an exception clause for every 50x0 card, which might solve it. Could you please try the 1.0.5 version I've attached above and please report if that worked for you? Thanks
FransBouma
2025-03-06 09:45:22 +0000 UTCHmm.... I had to add custom code for a series of RTX cards (namely all 40x0 cards). I will test on a 50x0 card nvidia sent me, and adjust the code if needed for these cards as well. (it's caused by the nvidia dlss wrapper which causes the wrong render queue to be obtained so the overlay is rendered on the wrong queue and ends up not being displayed).
FransBouma
2025-03-06 07:20:00 +0000 UTCI tried removing the files and rebinding the overlay keys but sadly it is still invisible. It flashes on my screen for a split second but disappears again. I can see it flicker occasionally if I keep the overlay open. It IS there, but it wont stay visible.
Ceran
2025-03-05 19:09:55 +0000 UTCCould you remove the igcs .ini files in the game folder and try again? Also did you rebind the keys?
FransBouma
2025-03-05 08:50:06 +0000 UTCHello! Thank you for creating this amazing tool, I've had a blast taking screenshots with it! However I just recently upgraded my GPU to 5070ti and as I'm trying to open the in-game overlay to access the light feature, the overlay is invisible for me. Would you be able to help me with this, thank you! β₯
Ceran
2025-03-04 22:25:00 +0000 UTCThanks! :)
FransBouma
2025-02-12 17:39:22 +0000 UTCAhh, don't be sorry my friend. Your work here has been awesome and IS awesome. Not going to stop supporting you over it. I appreciate you!
The Explorographer
2025-02-12 16:38:49 +0000 UTCI share your sympathy. It's rare that a game's exe is this different across stores. I got my game on Steam as the last time I used the EA app it was so utterly crap (download speeds < 1KB/s for long periods of time etc.) but I expected it would be ok... not so it turned out :( I'm sorry.
FransBouma
2025-02-12 08:20:21 +0000 UTCThanks for trying. Had to just use a HUDless shot for the sequence I am filming. Really hate EA sometimes.
The Explorographer
2025-02-12 08:14:21 +0000 UTCYes, that's expected, it's mentioned in the article above! The EA version doesn't work, as the exe is different and the tools can't find essential elements.
FransBouma
2025-02-12 08:08:35 +0000 UTCThat didn't work either.
The Explorographer
2025-02-12 01:09:23 +0000 UTCOkay tried 1.02 again. INS does nothing. EA Overlay is off. I confirm this by hitting SHIFT+F1 in game. Ray Tracing, Frame Gen, all of it off. Does ShadowPlay interfere by chance? I will try that next.
The Explorographer
2025-02-12 01:04:04 +0000 UTCI am on the EA version. :-/ I will try 1.0.2 again and report back. Overlays are off. I will look at RTSS. Thank you for the reply!
The Explorographer
2025-02-12 00:36:00 +0000 UTCIf 1.0.4 crashes, try 1.0.2, the difference is the light feature. the light feature depends on the tools hooking a delegate engine pipeline which might fail, hence I kept 1.0.2 attached. Also try to disable RTSS or other overlays you might have enabled. As the tools don't work with the EA version, it can't be the EA overlay. To my knowledge they didn't release an update on steam for quite some time
FransBouma
2025-02-11 22:17:55 +0000 UTCYep, nope. I just tried everything. 1.04 just crashes constantly. I have tried graphics settings in game, went and read your help page. Insert doesn't work. My overlay is off, on every launcher ever made because I hate them. I hit INS and the game crashes. I verified files, drivers, you name it. It's not working. I depend on your tools for my content.
The Explorographer
2025-02-11 21:34:48 +0000 UTCi just tried that and it worked, thank you so much

2025-01-29 19:06:11 +0000 UTCThis will answer your question: https://opm.fransbouma.com/faq.htm#i-try-to-move-the-camera-with-my-controller-but-instead-my-character-moves
FransBouma
2025-01-29 18:22:20 +0000 UTCheyy there, thank you so much for making this flycam. i've been really excited to use it after seeing clips online of the game. so i'm trying to use my gamepad (specifically my ps5 controller) to control the flycam since i can't literally use keyboard controls to save my life and even though i have the gamepad setting enabled, i can't seem to move the camera around. i noticed in the settings it does have xbox prompts like the B and Y buttons for example but no ps5 prompts. if i switch to keyboard, it works fine (very slowly but that's just a me problem bc of me not being good with keyboard controls)
deviantbetgee
2025-01-29 17:42:12 +0000 UTCThat worked! Thanks so much!
Alarice the Rabbit
2024-12-31 19:02:26 +0000 UTCCould you delete the igcs settings ini file and the igcs imgui ini file? (or move them somewhere else) and reboot your pc? I know it sounds silly but I think there's an error happening somewhere and the client silently crashes. this shouldn't happen but alas, it does. (crashes should show an error window, but for some weird reasons some crashes don't... :( )
FransBouma
2024-12-31 07:47:36 +0000 UTCThat's what's so odd. To my knowledge, nothing changed. It was working brilliantly and then I quit the game for a few hours, left my PC on, came back, and it wouldn't open. It registers that it's running for just a second in the task manager but then stops itself. Sorry if this is outside of your realm of expertise, by the way! I just figured I'd ask if you had any ideas but I totally get it if it's a "me" problem lol
Alarice the Rabbit
2024-12-30 22:53:34 +0000 UTCSo what changed? And for my understanding... not opening means: you start igcsclient.exe but it simply never shows its window? Does it run when you check windows task manager -> details tab?
FransBouma
2024-12-30 19:48:20 +0000 UTCNo luck, sadly. It wasn't flagged but I went ahead and added it as an exception but no change.
Alarice the Rabbit
2024-12-30 18:33:19 +0000 UTCyou too!
FransBouma
2024-12-30 10:21:46 +0000 UTCI will use 1.02 most of the time and only switch to 1.04 in cases I really rally want the light for something :) have a nice new year's eve :)
Maja Misak
2024-12-30 10:06:26 +0000 UTCCould you check if your virusscanner perhaps flagged it? Could you add an exception for the folder you unpacked the zip into and see if that fixes things?
FransBouma
2024-12-30 09:13:27 +0000 UTCYeah I think the hooking of the function causes issues in some rare cases even tho it doesn't do anything if you don't have any light... :(
FransBouma
2024-12-30 09:12:26 +0000 UTCHiya! Happy holidays if you celebrate them. I wanted to mention that I'd been using the 102 version of the mod for a few weeks with no issues, but then out of nowhere it just stopped opening. I redownloaded both that one and the newer version, but the mod just won't open at all. I've tried running it as admin and running it normally, but no dice. I'm playing on Steam, if that helps. Any ideas what the issue might be?
Alarice the Rabbit
2024-12-29 18:43:39 +0000 UTCI think my comment was a bit unclear it wasn't using lights that was crashing my game. I only used those few times and they worked fine when I used them. it was using 1.04 in general even when just playing and taking normal screenshots, it would just crash occasionally during gameplay :( shame but yeah I guess it is what it is... reverting to 1.02 works.
Maja Misak
2024-12-29 11:35:06 +0000 UTCNot using lights should not give more crashes than with 1.0.2. Lights are cumbersome to add to a runtime scene, sadly. The engine doesn't support dynamic lights being created through a simple API so the lights are added in a hacky way that's not native to the engine. This can go wrong at runtime. It's sadly not simple to say why, other than it's a result of the engine running into a situation caused by lights being there while it doesn't expect them. The only way to solve this is by not using the lights. I tried everything to find a stable route to add/remove them but that turned out to be very complicated. For a while I thought it wasn't possible at all, but the function I'm using now is the most stable one I've found... It is what it is...
FransBouma
2024-12-29 08:51:38 +0000 UTCyou too!
FransBouma
2024-12-29 08:48:31 +0000 UTCOn a completely unrelated note, wishing you all the best and happy Holidays :)
Maja Misak
2024-12-28 23:25:27 +0000 UTCHello, just wanted to let you know I too have issues with crashing with 1.04. I tested for a long time before posting this to be sure. using 1.01 and 1.02 never had a single crash for weeks, when I switched to 1.04 crashes started happening sporadically. Sometimes when injecting dll.. but mostly later randomly during gameplay and taking and setting up screens. it was rare enough maybe once a day.. but sometimes several times during few hours. Loved the lights and took some nice shots with them, but decided to switch back to 1.02. Haven't had a single crash after that. so it's deff smth about 1.04 :( My GPU is AMD Radeon RX 6600
Maja Misak
2024-12-28 23:21:11 +0000 UTCWas there any change in the recent updates? Is there any chance you can make the tools working for the EA App? Would be really nice to be able to use your great tools as they always manage to improve the experience quite a bit for me.
Dominik
2024-12-25 21:33:39 +0000 UTCOkay, thank you very much for your answer
Kirsy
2024-12-12 10:25:27 +0000 UTCThe issue is random, so it's not related to the folder, sadly. The main issue is that at that moment there's no memory to allocate close to the function it needs to hook (within 2GB in memory) so it gives up. This can solve itself later on but in some rare cases it can't. There's sadly no fix for this atm.
FransBouma
2024-12-10 07:14:41 +0000 UTCThis is the error that was coming up: [>ERROR<] :: Mainloop hook for lights not set! MH_ERROR_MEMORY_ALLOC. Will retry when overlay is toggled. I toggled the overlay on and off multiple times but it didn't fix the problem. I closed the game and moved the IGCS folder to another location on my computer and that SEEMS to have fixed the issue for the time being. :) I'm not sure if it was just a fluke or what lol but I'll let you know if I have any further issues! <3
sammysilverdyne
2024-12-10 06:49:47 +0000 UTCSadly, yes. The executable (the exe file) contains code (in byte form). THe tools find blocks of code to intercept and change so the camera can be intercepted etc. However the executable of the EA version is different, which means it can't find the blocks of code to change, hence the errors you get. I can't get a game on all stores to see if it works or not, and usually it doesn't matter, but here sadly it is different. I honestly don't know why this is. The EA exe is also encrypted so I couldn't do much else than give up on it. The only thing I can think of perhaps is that if you inject after you loaded your save, the game might have decrypt the exe in memory properly, but other than that... it's sadly not going to work
FransBouma
2024-12-09 11:47:26 +0000 UTCOkay, thanks for your answer. So your tool only works when you've acquired the game on Steam, and not on EA and it's definitive, right? (just to be sure I understand)
Kirsy
2024-12-09 09:20:22 +0000 UTCNothing happens as in... no light is added to the list? Please check the log tab. If it shows an error it wasn't able to hook the right function properly, closing and reopening the overlay should fix that. It's a complicated system to hook into hence it's cumbersome and rough to use at times... :(
FransBouma
2024-12-09 09:16:06 +0000 UTCNo, this isn't going to work, as the steam version is different from the EA version. Hence my explicit remark that only the steam version works. Adding it to steam doesn't make the game work, as the exe is different. I Have no idea why this is btw, in most cases executables are roughly the same between stores but here it's completely different, like it's a different version. I can't fix this.
FransBouma
2024-12-09 09:14:24 +0000 UTC(And I don't understand how I can inject it into the wrong process since there is only one Dragon Age Veilguard process in the list and it is selected by default in the client ... Note: I've disabled the overlay in EA app)
Kirsy
2024-12-09 08:13:36 +0000 UTCActually I launchrd the game from Steam but initially I had bought it via EA, so I had to add the game to my Steam games list, but when I launch it, EA app launches too, could that be the problem? (Does this mean that people who bought the game from EA app also have to buy it on Steam to use your tool?)
Kirsy
2024-12-09 07:58:29 +0000 UTCHiya!! Loving this tool a ton but since the latest game patch, I'm having an issue with the spawnable lights. I can open the overlay just fine with ctrl+insert, but when I try to create a spotlight or sphere light using either of the buttons on the overlay, nothing happens. :(
sammysilverdyne
2024-12-09 07:08:52 +0000 UTCIf you start the game from steam, it doesn't run with admin privileges so you don't need the client to run as admin as well :) However if the game is started as admin it's invisible to software that don't run as admin
FransBouma
2024-12-07 21:21:54 +0000 UTCNo, sorry. If you have the version from steam, and you start the game from steam, and you inject the tool when the main menu is up (so where you see the lighthouse) it should work without problems. However it looks like it can't find anything, as if you inject it in the wrong process...
FransBouma
2024-12-07 21:20:45 +0000 UTCDo you have any idea where the problem might be coming from?
Kirsy
2024-12-07 18:54:12 +0000 UTCThanks a lot! π Works as a charm now. It's just weird that I didn't need to do it before.
Morgan Le Faye
2024-12-07 15:51:05 +0000 UTCWeird, your exe doesn't seem compatible with the tools. As in: nothing 's found... Something's off.
FransBouma
2024-12-07 14:27:00 +0000 UTCIf you start the game through frosty, you have to run the igcsclient as admin

Kirsy
2024-12-07 12:53:21 +0000 UTCHi I cannot inject the DLL anymore because the tool doesn't find the .exe of the game. When I push the "Select" button I don't have the .exe in the list either. I disabled all overlays (steam and Nvidia) although it worked before for me without any issues. I only found out after the last game update, but I can't say for sure if that's the cause. I have a RTX 4070 with the newest driver if that helps. I also tried both camera tools (v102 and v104) and the issue is the same. Restarting my PC didn't help either since I have this problem for several days now. I hope you can give me pointers what to do, and thanks for your always great camera tools! π
Morgan Le Faye
2024-12-07 12:22:48 +0000 UTCI have the official version and have just tested with v1.0.4 On the other hand, I've noticed something strange, I launch the game via Steam but it launches at the same time with the EA launcher, impossible to launch independently, is this normal?
Kirsy
2024-12-07 12:17:43 +0000 UTCHmm. I have the steam version and no errors whatsoever. Please make sure you have the official version and use v1.0.4 of the camera tools. I don't think there are mods available atm that alter the code so my tools can't find the blocks they need to find
FransBouma

2024-12-07 11:57:01 +0000 UTCHello Thanks for this tool! I just downloaded it, I launched the game with Steam (overlay disabled), I launched the game and the client but I can't launch the camera mode, no key on the numeric keypad works, could you please help me? Thanks a lot!
Kirsy
2024-12-07 11:39:28 +0000 UTCI think I've said this before but it bears repeating: YOU BEAUTIFUL GENIUS! The lights are fantastic, especially in cutscenes. Thank you for all that you do.

2024-12-02 13:05:53 +0000 UTCif you use the frosty mod manager then the game runs as admin and you have to start the igcsclient as admin as well

2024-12-02 12:47:26 +0000 UTCHey! I can't open the cam if the game is opened through the Frosty Mod Manager. It doesn't find the game process to inject the cam into and I can't browse for it manually either. What am I missing? Thank you so much for your work.
Sinziana A
2024-12-02 12:40:55 +0000 UTCOh, sidenote while I'm here. Your tool is wonderful and I love it. I've spent hours playing with it taking a million pictures and it's given me such joy!! πππ
Annie Kehn
2024-11-30 17:54:32 +0000 UTCGoing to try it again today and see if any errors show in the log and respond! Not sure if any will show however because the tool crashed with the game. I'll let you know!
Annie Kehn
2024-11-30 17:40:40 +0000 UTCAfter restarting 1.02 a couple times it looks to be working again. I think that issue is something with the game, it messes with the mouse. Replicated it later on my husband's computer. We're both not using any mods except yours.

2024-11-30 17:39:05 +0000 UTCman, don't be sorry! your tools are amazing and you do amazing work. the lights would have been nice and maybe I'll get them working for a few shots but there's still all the other stuff you have done and that's more than enough.
SQRRL
2024-11-30 13:58:47 +0000 UTC:( Sorry for that... the lights are pretty complicated to run, and have the tendency to crash the game at times. (hence the warning at the bottom of the overlay)... There's sadly nothing I can do to fix the crashes if you run into them, as I'm already happy it runs ok on my system (but crashes sometimes too). The code has to run during the render loop at a specific moment, and I think some engine timings might get wrong in some cases, if a custom light is created. It's sadly not as smooth as with Unreal engine where creating a light is pretty robust.
FransBouma
2024-11-30 13:29:28 +0000 UTCI did indeed use both of them. I enabled Frame Generation through the DLSSG-to-FSR3 mod from Nexusmods, which worked fine so far but it does seem to have been the culprit. When I restarted the game without it, I got the overlay to work! Unfortunately the game crashed immediately after I created my first light.
SQRRL
2024-11-30 12:30:37 +0000 UTCIt should work fine with a 3080, as in: the overlay should show up. The alternative path for the 40x0 cards crashes on a 3080, so they're excluded. Ok, this might be a bit tedious but, please answer: which upscaling do you use, do you use frame regeneration? (this to see if these are the culprits). If you do, could you try without them?
FransBouma
2024-11-30 12:20:15 +0000 UTCI have a RTX 3080 which also shows up correctly in the log!
SQRRL
2024-11-30 11:43:34 +0000 UTCWhat GPU are you using? I had to make two code paths based on the GPU name, which is kind of lame but the only way it would work, as there was no way I could otherwise determine it. In the log tab you'll see 'Running on GPU:...' and a name after it. What does it say?
FransBouma
2024-11-30 11:30:25 +0000 UTCI'm trying 1.0.4 and I can't get the overlay to show up. When I use the bound keys, the mouse cursor shows up but nothing else and I can't do any inputs until I "close" the overlay again. No errors in the log or even an output that *anything* happens. Everything else works fine though.
SQRRL
2024-11-30 10:23:23 +0000 UTCIf the tools suddenly stopped working, what changed? Did Insert still work with 1.0.2 or did nothing work? Did you install a mod perhaps that causes conflicts?
FransBouma
2024-11-30 08:04:47 +0000 UTCYou see any errors in the log tab?
FransBouma
2024-11-30 07:34:02 +0000 UTCOh yep, there's the problem. I'm using EA to play the game currently! Totally didn't realize that, I'll hang on for an update. Thank you for the swift reply!
Emmy Hall
2024-11-29 23:51:39 +0000 UTCI was using 1.02 which worked amazingly until today, suddenly the keybindings don't work/aren't doing what they are set to do. I downloaded 1.04 to update and pressing Insert while that's running crashes the game and tool. Using NVIDIA RTX 3070, Steam version of the game, during a cutscene. Let me know if you need anything else from me!
Annie Kehn
2024-11-29 23:31:06 +0000 UTCRazer synapse has problems sometimes yes, could you try without it? However if insert doesn't do anything, something else is wrong most likely. Do you see any errors in the log tab? The EA version isn't supported, you need the steam version
FransBouma
2024-11-29 08:30:09 +0000 UTCHi! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but when I press insert nothing appears to happen, and pressing ctrl + ins for the overlay crashes/closes the game. I know you mentioned MSI Afterburner might cause similar problems, but I don't believe I use that software. Now I'm worried that there might be issues with NVIDIA or Razer Synapse that mimic what Afterburner does but I don't know what settings to tweak.
Emmy Hall
2024-11-29 03:19:27 +0000 UTCIt crashed when creating a light? Or elsewhere? The mouse not showing up is sadly currently a glitch I haven't been able to track down (and it happened randomly to me too during testing... :( )
FransBouma
2024-11-28 21:48:04 +0000 UTCHey! Im using rtx 4060. It was fine for 30~min playing with all he stuff but then it crashed (game and tool) and when i relaunched the game it happened again. I guess it's the light settings and it's crashing during gameplay not cutscene. Bur all i managed to in the cutscene with light was moving it to camera using tab button because of the bug it didn't show mouse.

aymayb
2024-11-23 13:44:03 +0000 UTCThat can sometimes happen. To fix it go to the igcsdof.fx shader in the reshade home tab and click the buttom above the one setting for the shader to reset it to the default settings. That should fix it
FransBouma
2024-11-23 13:20:16 +0000 UTCthis has been working AMAZING (on steam) but out of nowhere, if I boot the game and IGCSDOF is enabled (which it usually always is checked on in my reshade preset) the game loads onto a black screen with only the mouse showing. If I turn uncheck it its back to normal. It only started happening within the last 12 hours and its never had this issue before. I didnt see any updates today, am I missing something by any chance? (didnt know where else to ask this sorry!) Edit: It seems to work fine once Im in game, not sure why booting with it is somehow an issue now though. Oh well lol

2024-11-23 11:13:36 +0000 UTCPraying for a light fix or alt version that still has the lights even if unstable >< the feature is legendary

Maja Misak

Oleksandra Kliushnichenko
2024-11-20 20:00:11 +0000 UTCI'm sorry.. :( I've also found an issue with the lights which crashes the game 100% after going into the char menu after creating a light, so I'll disabled the overlay and lights for now, so 1.0.2 shouldn't crash anymore (but does bring the fix for mouse camera when you hide the menu.)
FransBouma
2024-11-20 19:57:41 +0000 UTCThere was no overlay and it crashes immediately after I inject but only in new version. The old one version of the photomode don't crash
Oleksandra Kliushnichenko
2024-11-20 18:42:30 +0000 UTCThat's a regular crash in the GPU driver. I have the same drivers but didn't see any issue. Tho do you have an overlay running other than the NVidia overlay? Is this crash happening immediately after you inject or after you do something?
FransBouma
2024-11-20 18:26:11 +0000 UTCAnti virus checkers use AI to match patterns. it might be my code traps up a match. It's a false positive as they say... these sometimes happen. Can also be when you inject the tools, it's triggered by the tools altering a running process (the game).
FransBouma
2024-11-20 18:25:27 +0000 UTCHello. I downloaded the new version and got an error that keep crashing game: DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED ("You tried to use a resource to which you did not have the required access privileges."). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti", Driver: 56094. This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers. I have the latest drivers, but access denied is confusing me. I wanted to ask: is it the files or is there something wrong with my computer? Thank you ππΌ
Oleksandra Kliushnichenko
2024-11-20 18:10:15 +0000 UTCFor some reason my antivirus freaks out over this, but never did over the BG3 one. Same computer/antivirus. Does this just access something different that would set it off? I donβt think somethingβs wrong, just wondering why this one would do that but the other didnβt.

Kay
2024-11-18 01:30:03 +0000 UTCThe exe is too different at the moment, so that's not going to work. My hope is that with a few patches they do get the same. It's weird they're not equal to begin with...
FransBouma
2024-11-17 21:31:30 +0000 UTCAre you going to work on the EA version eventually?

2024-11-16 08:47:37 +0000 UTCHi! I just downloaded this tool and I'm so excited and it's so cool but I'm having issues with it not focusing in cut scenes and getting really blurry. I'm sure this is user error bc this is my first time using a tool like this, but I wondered if you had any advice for that.
Misty
2024-11-16 08:45:55 +0000 UTCa shame! thanks for looking into it though appreciate the effort!
Viktor Velkov
2024-11-15 22:02:10 +0000 UTCNo sorry... I tried to find it but all sharpening values I could find didn't do anything...
FransBouma
2024-11-15 21:37:08 +0000 UTCHey there, first of all thank you so much for the camera tools they're amazing as always! Short question: Do you think it would be possible tweak the ingame sharpening? I have a feeling that when turning down/off bloom the game looks way to oversharpened. If I play the game at 1440p that becomes very obvious and looks really bad whereas 4k looks perfect. Thanks again!
Viktor Velkov
2024-11-15 21:32:17 +0000 UTCOh I see :( I was hoping it would come in the future.
fuckyeaharthuriana
2024-11-13 22:43:34 +0000 UTCThanks for the feedback, will think about moving it in future cameras :)
FransBouma
2024-11-11 08:06:43 +0000 UTCOh!? Wow! I'm a bit embarrassed that I missed that. I actually looked everywhere, but I seem to have ignored "Log". Maybe it's a bit out of place there, maybe better on tab "General"? Anyway, thank you very much. Your Camtools are awesome!
Wolfen_DE
2024-11-10 22:03:39 +0000 UTCThe log tab has a checkbox for that :)
FransBouma
2024-11-10 19:12:15 +0000 UTCIs there a way to deactivate the user messages (e.g. Camera enabled, HUD hidden) in the upper left corner? Sadly the messages are very disturbing when I record ingame scenes. If it's not implemented, it would be very nice if the option could be added. :)
Wolfen_DE
2024-11-10 17:57:59 +0000 UTCThanks for answer
Kate Miki
2024-11-10 09:46:09 +0000 UTCI tweak it per screenshot, so I don't have a 'preset' I apply like some people do.
FransBouma
2024-11-09 22:38:05 +0000 UTCCan you tell what kind of ReShade you use for your screenshots?
Kate Miki
2024-11-09 19:59:13 +0000 UTCNo, sorry that sounds like a specific area maybe causes some banding in the colors. You could try the deband shader for reshade perhaps to mitigate it?
FransBouma
2024-11-08 11:44:01 +0000 UTCWorks like a dream. I do get pretty heavy banding issues when I hotsample to higher resolutions. Any idea what's causing this?
SQRRL
2024-11-08 09:52:26 +0000 UTCUnless the latest patch made the code the same, I fear I won't be able to.
FransBouma
2024-11-08 08:37:55 +0000 UTCLooks amazing! Sadly I have the EA App version. Will you be making your tools for that version as well?
Sarah de Kok
2024-11-07 22:10:37 +0000 UTCThank you both Frans and @kunstpause !! By allowing both DAV and the camera tools through the controlled folder settings, I am now freely able to use both and be able to save manually/autosave again! :D
a s h e r
2024-11-07 20:51:27 +0000 UTCAh, thanks for the info! :) The igcsclient injects a dll into another process (the game) and this could be seen as 'hostile' by a virusscanner (which is reasonable), and it perhaps flagged it because of that. Glad you got it sorted! Hopefully it helps Asher as well :)
FransBouma
2024-11-07 15:13:45 +0000 UTCI tried it that way, but I had the same error, but now I think I figured out the issue. (Maybe that helps the other person too) It seems to have been an issue with my windows defender. I am not sure why, but it suddenly blocked the Veilguard exe from writing new save files at the usual location. I put both Veilguard's exe and the screenshot tool no on the list of apps that are allowed access to controlled folders and now it works, I can run the tools and save. And I am certain that it must have been something in my setup, not related to your tools because when I first downloaded the game (and didn't have your tools yet) I also got the error of not getting past the "Press any button" screen. Somehow, that fixed itself through several restarts and I am not sure why, but that seems to have been the same issue of Veilguard not getting access to the save folder. Thank you for taking the time trying to fix it for me, even if it was such a vague and weird error, and I hope this can help anyone else who runs into the issue.
Kunstpause
2024-11-07 11:23:07 +0000 UTCMy tools don't interact with anything related to saving or objects that have to be saved, so it's a mystery why this happens. There's a save issue plaguing people playing DAV also without tools it seems so not sure you're affected by that or that it's something else. Tbh I have no idea what it could be caused by. Just to confirm, if you start the game, don't inject any tools, load a save, then save it again, that works, but if you do: start the game, inject the tools, load a save and save it again it fails? Please test this with these exact steps! It's important.
FransBouma
2024-11-07 10:46:34 +0000 UTCNo, I am not using any other program. I thought it might have been my screenshot program Bandicam, but I get the same error when it's turned off.
Kunstpause
2024-11-07 10:43:30 +0000 UTCHello! I'm not sure what a trainer is, to be honest! My DAV is a Steam copy and completely vanilla, if this information helps! I really don't know how to troubleshoot this, because I'm not sure what is causing the camera tools to interact with the saving processes, and/or vice versa :(
a s h e r
2024-11-07 09:46:44 +0000 UTCPlease see my reply above
FransBouma
2024-11-07 07:50:43 +0000 UTCAre you using a trainer too? I found this thread https://www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=158397&titleID=79482 and that's the only place where I could find anything related to this. Of all the users using the tools, no-one else reported this, and I haven't seen it myself either. So it's super weird this pops up.
FransBouma
2024-11-07 07:50:36 +0000 UTCI am also having this issue!! I'm unsure what is causing it and if it's simply just the game not playing nice with the camera tools. I really hope it's not the latter, because even if DAV has its own photomode, I'll always prefer Frans' camera tools. EDIT: By "issue", I mean by activating the camera tools, I can no longer save manually and the game stops autosaving itself entirely as well!
a s h e r
2024-11-07 03:27:00 +0000 UTCI've screenshotted it here: https://imgur.com/sHeVA7b I tried running both the game and the tools in admin mode but it was the same problem. The game also doesn't autosave anymore and doesn't save screenshots taken in fotomode
Kunstpause
2024-11-06 22:18:53 +0000 UTCHuh, that's weird, haven't heard anything about that... what is the error?
FransBouma
2024-11-06 20:40:28 +0000 UTCI love your camera tool, but with Veilguard I am having the weirdest issue. If I run the tools then I can no longer save my game. I get an error message that the game can't save anymore. I never had any issues with any of your camera tools before, so I don't know how to troubleshoot this. If I close the tools the game still refuses to save until I restart it completely. I'm using the steam version if that helps.
Kunstpause
2024-11-06 18:41:24 +0000 UTCKeys work!! Thank you so much oh my god
Laura Braun
2024-11-05 15:04:06 +0000 UTCMouse movement / rotation in cutscenes when you pause via the menu and then hide it is currently not working (see below my reply to another user). Keyboard camera movement however should work fine (or gamepad)
FransBouma
2024-11-05 13:18:41 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this!! You have been so fast. One question tho, i am not able to move the camera around freely during cutscenes right? Because it says the camera movement is enabled but it stays as it was before. I can "only" pause and hide the HUD right?
Laura Braun
2024-11-05 13:15:02 +0000 UTCYes that's a known issue, and I currently have no solution. The game engine simply swallows all mouse input when the menu is up. Hopefully I can find something about it soon...
FransBouma
2024-11-05 11:35:55 +0000 UTCsmall issue i noticed the camera controls for the mouse stop working when u esc pause the game in cutscene picking up a controller solves the problem tho. using the numpad on the keyboard is really really slow
xenoseven
2024-11-05 11:00:33 +0000 UTCYES! I was wondering whether you would do one for DAVG since we have the photomode, but it's so incredibly limiting. Thank you so much for your hard work!
sinmademanifest
2024-11-05 10:56:24 +0000 UTCSadly the code in the EA App version is a lot different and as I don't have that version I can't really adjust my tools for it either. I tried with the exe of the EA App version but it's encrypted so I can't do much with it. So for now there's sadly nothing I can do. It's odd tho, it looks like either one of the versions (Steam or the EA App one) is outdated, the code is definitely not identical. So my hope is that either one gets an update and both then start to work :)
FransBouma
2024-11-04 12:46:21 +0000 UTCoh no! I totally understand. Do you know if there's any way around it in the meantime? I used it for DAI before so I didnt know if it would be similar. If not totally okay, I still use your cameras for all of my other games so its not a big deal :')
aymayb
2024-11-04 12:27:52 +0000 UTCahh I see, thanx for the info. I'll try the reshade addon ;)
Maja Misak
2024-11-04 12:04:10 +0000 UTCMaking a shortcut for the dof enable/disable isn't that simple, so that's not likely to be added. The alternative could be to toggle it off with shadertoggler, an addon I wrote for reshade to toggle on/off effects in game: https://framedsc.com/ReshadeGuides/Addons/shader_toggler_repository.htm I haven't tried if that is able to disable the dof but it's highly likely. The keyboard shortcut for the overlay is my mistake. I disabled the overlay for now as the mouse clicks aren't arriving at the tools when the menu is up so I disabled it (it's not used anyway, only has camera stuff), but I forgot to remove the keyboard shortcut editor for it :)
FransBouma
2024-11-04 08:24:50 +0000 UTCHey it's me again.. I'm so sorry for bothering you this much but I have one last question I want to get familiarized with all controls I will use often :) The option to disable in game DOF when you want is so great because I don't want to have it disable the whole time, and was wondering if there is any way to do it via shortcut while we're in game. I've been looking at documentation and all hotkeys but haven't found anything for that. I've seen there is a shortcut to change game speed. is is possible to do the same with DOF so we don't have to alt tab out of the game to your camera tool every time to do it? Also I was wondering what is the in-game overlay (set to CTRL+I) suppose to do? I though maybe I can access these option that way but nothing shows up in my game when I press CTRL+I
Maja Misak
2024-11-04 05:02:04 +0000 UTCWell, I'm sorry but I fear that's not going to come any time soon... :(

Already took so many nice screenshots. :) Also love bloom settings and ability to disable ingame DOF to use your own. but I wanted to ask another thing. is there any way to pause during in game cutscenes and those mini cutscene conversations. In some games it's possible but here when I try to pause during those the game just keeps playing them weirdly.
