2.0

It is finally there! ReShade 2.0 features a brand new tool for managing the ReShade installation. Profile and preset management is now fully centralized and automatic, so you don't need to have a full ReShade installation per game anymore (previous versions tried to go into that direction already, but never got it quite right).

Changelog

Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and the feedback we are getting from the community.
Keep it up guys and enjoy this release

Thank you and... Goodbye, simplicity...

Works great. Toggling effects now works in Black Ops III
I'm just having trouble with the new Assistant. It's incredibly slow at changing tabs.

Doesn't work with Grey Goo (DX11). The game is crashing while starting. Any tip ?

First thank you very much for the work!

Now for a small issue:
I'm experiencing some crashes in the mediator and I couldn't create new presets after excluding the default one in the mediator (neither the game could detect the custom one I made after deleting the default one). I'll reinstall now and try it again.

Crash chaining to dgVoodoo 2.51 (yes, I checked the DLLs and manually renamed the ReShade one to dxgi.dll) in Deus Ex Invisible War (working with dgVoodoo 2.51 + ReShade 1.1)

With Thief: Deadly Shadows (dgVoodoo-ized) black screen and no warnings in the tracelog.....(back to desktop with ESC)

PPSSPP, Dolphin, and PCSX2 still don't work with 2.0. At least as far as Opengl goes, I got DX9 to work with PS2 emulation.

Same with dying light... 'clean' profile (no postprocessing effect activated on start)
DCS instead starts but I get a message about a missing profile?
I like the thing being developed! Might even throw some more coffee money in!

Even if you created a profile for a game (which you need for the automated profile detection), there is a slight chance it cannot be found from within the game. However, it should then always revert to the default profile.

You will need at least one preset as a reference for creating a new one. Its not advisable to delete the default preset/profile (I will disable the default preset deletion from within the assistant in the next update). I am not sure if you did but you need to first create an application profile before the app can detect it.


To all/both of you, PRESS SAVE AFTER CREATING A PROFILE SO A GLOBAL.CFG IS CREATED. (usually that should be the case when modifying the configuration anyway but I can force that on creation in the next update)

Thanks a whole bunch for the work ya'll have been putting on the updates, can't wait to try the new shaders out when I'm done porting my preset over to this new version.

Everything seems to be working fine on my end so far, although I'm not sure how to duplicate the TuningPalette LUT shader on the new version, doesn't seem to work the same way it used to for me.

Again, thank you very much for the hard work.

Released a hotfix which should solve the reported issues with the assistant tool and fixes the compile error when toggle messages were enabled.

this is so damn good , everything can be modded in one place

thx for the release and all new shaders, incredible work.
are you using Registry Key entries ? will be a bad news... i prefer 'portable' approach
i don't understand how D3DX11.dll in the game folder (loaded in PC memory) do the link with framework files path ?

thx in advance for your explanation.

Skypat wrote: are you using Registry Key entries ?

Nope. The assistant tool creates a ReShade.fx symlink in the game directory, which points to the location ReShade was installed/extracted to. When ReShade is loaded into the game, it detects this, and loads all files from the symlink target directory.
If you want to move the ReShade installation to a new location, you can do this, but you need to refresh all profiles in the assistant tool (via the reload button) afterwards, so those symlinks are updated.

i didn't see the arrow on the icon...i'am just a dot...
are GEMFX gone ? i don't find Ambient light settings anymore

again, incredible work !

You can find it by author ("Ganossa") or by shader name ("Amb...") in the Pipeline tab filter.

Is it possible to avoid the *automatic* detection&writing of the reshade dll in the game folder? The problem is the automatic writing: without any confirmation reshade overwrites other wrapping dlls (dgvoodoo d3d8).

Its only overwritten if you manually confirm the process. You can backup the other wrapper first.

Updated to 2.0.1 which fixes the D3D11 crash.
