Kingdoms of Amalur: Helix Mod breaks game
Hey Everyone, just tried to jump into this game yesterday, followed the instructions for the helix mod here: http://helixmod.wikispot.org/Kingdoms_of_Amalur_Reckoning When I start the game with the required files in the "Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning" folder, I get the loading placard, and then the game CTD's. Starts fine without Helix mod installed, but the 3D looks pretty bad. Anyone else have a similar problem and maybe know of a solution?

I forgot about this game and how amazing it is in 3D. I re-installed it on my new system and got it working with SweetFX and even Precision running. Maybe I will finally finish it now LOL!

@leomen I am the web-master/a modder. Helix is the "owner"/developer of helix mod. @arioch. Only do story/"guild" quests [mage/warrior/thief] and don't do "optional" dialog [game has a ridiculous amount of useless dialog]. Game is good + long enough with main stuff but you can tell it was at one time planned to be an mmo. You can do hard mode and do only the quests I mention and it have a good challenge. Alot of quests are meh, and it just makes you OP. Game is good and fun but if you do the "optional" stuff it gets down right painful. I did a good amount of side quests and it just got trivial even on hard.

I also notice the post-processing takes away from the beauty of the game with too much blur. It looks like I am at least 3/4 done and already completed both DLC areas. This is one of those games I prefer to play with my 360 controller.

I remember people were raving about some Skyrim FXAA injector with that game. No idea why. I used it cause it was well recommended.... and I was lazy.

I'm a huge fan of LumaSharpen myself, for some games it just makes everything 'pop' so much more ... the extra clarity and crispness in the image definitely adds to that sense of realism.
