 Description
***********************************
EDFX add FX graphics effects to games using RESHADE UNIFIED ENGINE SHADERS & DIRECTX INJECTOR
i'am using daily "EDFX full effects" default profile in EDXF utility and i hope you will enjoy it.
it was used for all screenshot you have seen on my twitter account and i only use this profile (btw if you dislike FOV blur in Elite Dangerous, press 'K' ingame to enable/disable it... i love it)
no fps drop (60+ on GeForce 780ti)
https://twitter.com/Skypat

--minor features--
EFDX can launch/close TRACKIR automatically when EDFX start and close (so uncheck the checkbox if you close EDFX before/during gaming)
EDFX can launch TeamSpeak and Mumble voice utility
you can add your own utility in blank custom button area

Language
--------
NATIVE LANGUAGE for this utility and readme file is at this time only ENGLISH
yes i know, i'am french... 

Installation
------------
no installation required, just launch EDFX.exe
if your game is installed in or folder then launch EDFX.exe in administrator mode or disable windows UAC
to avoid issue (like not seeing graphics effects), run Elite Dangerous in FULL SCREEN MODE not in WINDOWED

IMPORTANT: some Windows 8/8.1 users may encountered issue with FX engine when launching Elite Dangerous. 
To fix it, right click on then enable 'Windows 7 compatibility mode
