ReShade 3.0 Progress Discussion

brussell wrote: Hey crosire, did you read my post ? What do you think of it? As I see others have a somewhat similar opinion (mindu) I think a legacy mode would be a good idea (also in a sense of backward compatibilty).

ReShade 3.0 is backward compatible. A ReShade.fx in the injector folder will be picked up by default too, so thinks work just fine with the file structure from 1.1 or 2.0. Only thing that doesn't work is the detection of file changes which was removed for performance reasons. Could be added as an option, but it's not really necessary once all effects are available in 3.0 format.

Hi,

Amazing work, I hope you could manage to enable the Nvidia Single Pass 3D so I can play Witcher 3 with Real3D and best performance, will we get to this ?

Does this as the current options works better than S3D tridef (real 3D) ? it does work better than P3D that we can agree I think.

I've manage for now running the game The Technomancer with SuperDepth3D_WIP_New_Render it looks really good, I'm not sure if S3D will look better if it worked.

I would like to see the best settings for Assassin Creed Unity using the SuperDepth3D_WIP_New_Render or the Single Pass for better performance.

Will Need For Speed Rivals work too ? and other games ?

I have no idea which options to choose , a lot of them look correct but I can't figure if should be the correct look of 3D. it does look 3D but I can't decide what look the best in simple words changing the options or what looks correct.

So it doesn't make any sense to store that stuff in shader files, especially since each effect is now loaded from separate files (which one would contain that info then?). There is no global ReShade.fx anymore.

At least could it be in the same folder as injector and reshade.fx?
The reason is I don't use framework or any of the default stuff, I only use reshade.fx where I store everything, I just have minor color correction and very simple stuff, I don't even have DepthBuffer and that kind of stuff in my Reshade.fx.

The point is I only use injector.dll and reshade.fx which is very handly to have different settings for each game, and just drag and drop with everything already set up when I need to restore the backup of the game.

Now I'm doing the same with 3.0 so if those settings from .ini could be on the same reshade.fx would be beautiful instead of going to the .ini for no reason, I mean I don't use any of the default settings, Depth, etc.

I find interesting PerformanceMode but if that can't be done I honestly find more freedom on Reshade 1.1 (2.0 too but crash with some games while 1.1 is perfect in every way).

EDIT:
I use very small stuff, but as an example of big shaders you have MXAO which comes as standalone shader with everything inside of reshade.fx with his own stuff for depth and all, I find it very handly, and for his devs that needs feedback and don't want people to mix with other shaders to avoid conflicts and stuff is also very helpful. (my point is I'm not the only weirdo who uses only reshade.fx )

If that gives any extra performance then I can live without the detection

As said, a ReShade.fx in the injector folder is still picked up. And the default storage location for presets is the injector folder as well. ReShade 3.0 has NO settings for anything shader related, like how to handle depth. Everything CAN be stored in the effect file if you want to. The options you seem to mean are only preprocessor macros, which nothing prevents you from defining in the effect file instead. You may delete those lines from the ReShade 3.0 settings window as well if you don't use them, they are there only for convenience so there are some global values defined for every shader.

The performance mode is only interesting if you use uniform variables to add configuration options to the ReShade 3.0 menu.

You don't seem to realize that the whole point of ReShade 3.0 is so people use standalone effect files as you described in your edit!! Every effect is now loaded from a standalone shader file exactly because of the reasons you listed.

I would really appreciate it, if you could add this option.

OK, I understand, but still don't know what is the point of the .ini file, it could be in the same folder to make it easier, or even inside of Reshade.fxh (or no .ini at all), I know all depth settings (preprocessor macros) from ini are ignored if you set it up in the .fx, but wouldn't be less confusing to have all that stuff in one single place (reshade.fx) like always been?

Btw I noticed effects don't load at startup when the ReShade 3.0 message shows up, if you open menu, then effects load correctly, and when you close the menu the effects turn off again until the "welcome message" ends... (don't know if it is on purpose or not)

There is an issue where the settings doesn't save when you change from Configuration mode to Performance mode back to Configuration Mode.

I'm not sure if it happens too, when you Launch the game while it's in Configuration Mode , change some settings, and the close the game, relaunching the game. not sure if saving the settings.

Will it get fixed ? I'm currently using only the SuperDepth3D_Reprojection , as it doesn't happens because of the shader because I've tested some more others.

Hi Crosire!

This all sounds awesome, but will this version work for PC's with dual graphics? Cause I would love to finally be able to use reshade but on my laptop it will not work with my dedicated card, only the integrated one.
Thanks!

Same, occured this to me just now. Exited the game and saw that my config was not saved. That explained why reloading reverted my configurations.

So we have for a fix ? if so Reshade 2.0 fix this issue ? because I really like the menu to change all this instead doing all before game and need to alt + tab if I want to change anything and then go back to the game and use the comparison key to toggle it before and after or I don't remember or know what is the best way to know how it looked before/after key.

You need to create a profile for the changes to be saved to. Click on the settings tab and then click on "Restart Tutorial", it will explain how to create a profile.

Bad luck I guess.

???

I don't understand

The problem is: if two games have the same name for the hooked exe (game.exe, engine.exe, something like thah) how ReShade handle this? The last game profile overwrites the other, I think.....can you add a check for an already existent profile with the same name?

why make simple things complicated? IMHO the config file have just a few settings that could be in Reshade.fx like always been, but if it is really neccesary like in ENBSeries mod it is perfect and everybody loves it because is easy to use, intuitive and everything is in the same folder with the injector (that way you also avoid the problem with same .exe names)

My profile has been setup properly. Everything works fine and have always been for a few days since I started using 3.0.
However, it happened the same way as he did. I put my game on "Performance Mode" and then to "Configuration Mode" back and forth for a few times and ReShade stopped saving my configuration. I had to get out of the game, edit the config file manually and reload ReShade.

Also, do we not have the on/off button for ReShade anymore? It's pretty useful for making fullscreen comparisons IMHO, unless it's still not implemented yet because there are things that are far more important than this, I completely understand that.

ReShade doesn't save the profile according to the executable's name, but you name it yourself whatever you want it to be named as.
The config file also does not save any of the executable's name, where the hook exists, it runs. Inside the game, open the menu, choose which config you want, done.

btw I would like to ask if could be possible to add an option to not load all shaders that are placed in the same folder? usually there is a lot of trash and test shaders and now all of them load giving their obvious errors... so any option to load only the ones called (with #include "") would be really useful

edit: other idea is something to make them different, for example put a 3.0 prefix at the begining of the shaders to be used, and only load shaders with 3.0 prefix.

Hi, I've done the tutorial again. I tried putting the files in one folder C:\Reshade then change the direction in the Textures and Effect to there in the reshade settings. Doesn't save any changes when changing from config to performance or when changing back.

I've done the tutorial again. I tried putting the files in the Game folder and direct it in the settings to the folder, still doesn't save

What do I need to do exactly so it will save the settings ? Can we have readme file or direction on how you do it with say specific game Assassin Syndicate or anything else and just direct us how you worked it out ?
I can't figure

Thank You

Not the presets, but the game config profile.
Look in ReShade user\appdata\roaming directory!

Hi
I have this

[General]
PerformanceMode=0
OverlayKey=113,0,1
TutorialProgress=4
PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000.0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=0
InputProcessing=1
TextureSearchPaths=C:\reshade
EffectSearchPaths=C:\reshade
CurrentPreset=0
PresetFiles=c:\reshade

[Screenshots]
Key=44,0,0
TargetPath=C:\Gamez\Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
ImageFormat=0

[User Interface]
ColActive=0.200000,0.500000,0.600000
Alpha=0.950000
ColBackground=0.275000,0.275000,0.275000
ColText=0.800000,0.900000,0.900000
ColItemBackground=0.447000,0.447000,0.447000


But I still can't find where or what to save. so it will open every game with it's own profile and settings.
The game settings of the Depth3D is what I need, I only have the General Settings and not the shader.


EDIT : I understand now, I need to config one folder for Reshade and for every single game I need to add another folder. now it works.
