Heya glad u find it usefull. Personally, besides warband,... just in Bioshock 1 and ME2 alone for me it's really,.. just priceless awesome.
The last few days I mentioned this neat hook ingame, while we know the chat is a bloody minefield most of the time, it's especially bad when some kids run amok when no Admin is on, anyway,..
I got a few "dude I didn't see any difference, it's useless", well there is no way to say this nicely but in that case someone is either blind, did place the files in the wrong folder or pressed the wrong key for activation thus not actually activating anything (laptops often have less key and thus some fuctions are double assigned to one key with a different key to switch between both, so this could have been one potential issue on the user end). So if it ain't working please read this thread more carefully before giving it up, otherwise it's your loss really.Ok so here are some updates:
Some more feedback on these bugs:

Can confirm [apparently some remained and just now got fixed with beta 8] solves the darkening problem [of a few Unreal 3 Engine Games]. Thanks for your effort and please relay my thanks to the developer. I'll keep using it to see if any other issues arise. Thanks again.
info on how to get certain games to work with it at the bottom of this post.
Beta 6, 7 and 8 have been released, since 6 there even is experimental DX11 support:
[some dude]
Minor changes in d3d9 mode, no changes in d3d10 (due to no bugreports with small demos and my lack of d3d11 hardware).
Additionally I gave Anarki_Hunter's suggestion some attention.
Beta 7 gives you the possibility to add a sharpening pass [you don't have to bother with this at all for now- delu] in DirectX 9 prior to fxaa execution.
The readme contains how.
[some dude][beta8]
Sorry guys, I tried to consider all the different game engines I encountered so far and sometimes a new version creates and breaks compatibilities at the same time. [talking about the 1 pack for 3 renderpath hook approach for lots of games]
However, I think to have found a good solution for the "darkness" problem which also fixes Crysis 1 -dx9 (Thanks Ronny145). From how I expect GTA4's engine to work, it also may fix the lights.

Don't expect much from the sharpening pass. I just took some random sharpen shader and did not tune any parameters. You can experiment with own sharpening shaders if you can work with hlsl. Let me know if there is a good one.
beta version 8 notes
beta version 8! directx 9, directx 10, directx 11, x86 binaries only! may be incompatible with any other form of antialiasing! can be combined with downsampling!
Install:
If the game uses DirectX 9, put all files from the d3d9 directory into the directory containing the game executable.
If the game uses DirectX 10/11, put all files from the d3d10 directory into the directory containing the game executable.
Uninstall: Remove the files.
Notes:
Do not mix d3d9 and d3d10 the files.
Install the latest DirectX runtime.
A "log.log" file is created to log behaviour/ bugs.
If the "log.log" file is not created then you use the wrong "*.dll" or you put it into the wrong directory.
If the "log.log" is created but the game crashes or FXAA is disabled, look where the "log.log" is created. Usually the shader files go into that particular directory.
Try to put the files into different directories before saying it doesn't work.
In some games (e.g. Portal 1 or Halo 1) refuse to accept the alpha channel. A general workaround (lower quality) for those is to add the following line at the beginning of shader.fx :
#define FXAA_GREEN_AS_LUMA 1
There is a way to experiment with sharpening. I added an example. To activate additional sharpening filter change edit the line "//Replace this line with #include "Sharpen.h" to add a sharpening pass" in shader.fx.
Note that right now sharpening is only an example that it can be done. I more-or-less copypasted a random sharpen filter to show how my mod can be modded.
Keys:
Insert : Enable/Disable FXAA
Del : Screenshot
