The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - syntax error was created by ssjgoku4
hello everyone i have been using ReShade + SweetFX 2.0 for quite a time but this is the first time i have encountered an error. the thing is preset is for sweetfx 1.5.1. but i have used many 1.5.1 preset with sweetfx 2.0 but never got any error. i have searched forum about this issue and came to know that the preset might be in UTF-8 encoding is the cause of error. but i tried to change it to ANSI with notepad++ but still got the same error so plz help me figure out what is wrong here.

im getting this error - C:\Program Files (x86)\The Vanishing of Ethan Carter\Binaries\Win64\SweetFX/SweetFX_settings.txt(22, 1): error X3000: syntax error: unexpected 'identifier'

Preset is corrupt, the error message says it all. There is a word in line 22 which is not part of the source code and is not supposed to be there. I'm guessing the creator forgot to put it into a comment.

Hardly, without knowing which preset you are trying to use.

A lot is wrong with that preset. Seems like something messed up the line breaks. All the lines that don't start with "#define", "//" or are between "/*" and "*/" are wrong. Meaning, delete line 22, line 31, line 34, line 40, line 45, line 48, line 51, line 62, line 67, line 101, line 110, line 245, line 248, line 263, line 266, line 286 and line 305 (or comment them out with a "//" in front). I hope I didn't miss one, but you should get the idea.
