Just did a small test to check and now with version 1.5 of SweetFX you can run STO in DX11 mode without issues (mainly crashing on start up or setting video card mode due to previous version hook handling).
So if you have it and want to run in DX11 on a capable GPU (not just in STO but other games) go and
update your version.
Hopefully Taco will check this as it was the reason my copy was crashing when I was wanting to test the new ESD in DX11; as I completely forgot I had the old dll in the Live Folder for the game until I updated to the new one and over wrote it.
Edit: As of this edit I am on 8.1 and even after re-grabbing the latest version, the game crashes on start with sweetfx setup thus I recommend waiting till it has been updated to try again and not use it on 8.1 in the mean time.

Seeing as how STO absolutely refuses to play in Fullscreen for me, almost as if the game has no clue wtf Fullscreen is.
Without Fullscreen the SweetFX injection doesn't happen. (Only in Fullscreen DX9/11)
So, Windowed and Windowed Maximized are both all i get with STO, and i am begging for a fix!!
There was a thread years ago that i read and it fixed it, until i alt tabbed, now nothing works, not even setting the config file to read only has fixed it.
So, if you wouldn't mind so terribly, telling me how you managed to get your STO into Fullscreen so that SweetFX works, i would very much so love that, and you maybe.
