[SOLVED] GTA V crashes with ReShade 17.1 + SweetFx

It's not that. I know of at least two people who have that issue on Windows 7 64bit, but Windows 7 64bit is running on those two computers where it's working too.
If you are on Windows 7 you should make sure the platform update for Windows 7 is installed though, that may be a culprint.

Can confirm, I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and the Platform Update fixed the problems by using d3d11.dll. Thank you crosire!

Awesome!
Here's a link to the update in case anybody is wondering: www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36805

Yaay it worked for me too, thank you very much crosire, you've just solved one of the GTA V mysteries
Great job

Bwahahaha ! It finally works ! Thx a lot

IiiiiinnnCRE DiiiBleee !! IT WORKS !! Thank you very much Crosire ! you saved my game after one week of waiting : it's beautiful now .

I would love to give you ,and all the modders like CJay, Boris (ENB), a donate and Steam with its new modding policy will be the perfect mean to do this .
If you could find a way to integrate sweetfx in workshop , with perhaps ui improvement , directly in-game , like ENB , it'll be cool and easy for me to donate ...

I return to GTa V zzzzouuuu !!!

What was that? It's not that? I think you stand corrected. Lol.

Glad to see the update did in fact help people. Glad I brought that up

Yeah, you're right. I was asuming everybody has that update (since Windows Update installs it automatically), which makes the Windows 7 DirectX platform more similar to Window 8, meaning in that case "it cannot be that". Then remembered it was only an update and not default behaviour though and brought that up. So thanks for mentioning it .

Haha. Glad to help. Sometimes it's the tiniest oversight that can cause the biggest problems, especially when it comes to each individual system. I was just reading into it because I was curious, and then that popped into my head. Now, all I have to do is update my computer, and I'll be enjoying some sweet, sweet graphics.

Thx. very much for the fix! Although I keep my Windows Update on Auto, I didn't had this particular one installed for whatever reason...

Maybe it was an optional update. But glad it's working!

That fixed the problem for me, finally works now. I tried using Reshade 0.16+SweetFX 2.0 and it works fine. But when I upgaded to the latest 0.18 version, when loading up GTA V, the intro screen lags so much that it takes forever to get the game loaded. Anyway to fix this or know why it's doing this?

Installing the "Evil Update" fixed the crash issue for me on Windows 7. As for the intro lag problem, I just disable SweetFX with the hotkey until I get to the main screen.

JBeckman wrote: One thing I noticed with GTA V and ReShade yesterday was that Windows was throwing a couple of Kernel exceptions (Nothing crashed though.) but I have not managed to pin down the exact cause of these, could be some deeper driver conflict which would explain the framerate problem I'm getting so when I next try and if this problem repeats if I can find a way to recreate it I'll see about getting one of those crash dumps or error logs uploaded here, could be of use although I'm unsure if it can fix the crash on load issue that many others are experiencing.

EDIT: That Windows error report doesn't seem to occur with 0.18.0 so that's good, nothing to worry about then.

But here's the dxgi.tracelog file from entering and exiting the game.

dxgi.rar
www58.zippyshare.com/v/xTcRZS5q/file.html

(Starting with the effects disabled or enabled doesn't seem to do much in 0.18.0 as either of them will cause a severe framerate drop though the game works although it would be unplayable of course but I'm really glad that whatever that exception error was it's gone now so hopefully it was entirely unrelated - so I still have to find what actually caused it in the first place. - or 0.18.0 fixed it somehow.)

Took a while but I managed to replicate the error (Without ReShade loaded.) and it's just something with the game, whenever GTA V hangs (Such as when having a damaged save file.) it causes Windows to throw a Kernel exception although it doesn't crash the OS and there's no damage or corruption detected when using SFC (ScanNow) or DISM (RestoreHealth) so it's just some strange bug with the game, probably important but nothing that's related to ReShade so it's good to at least be able to rule that out.

Anyone know a fix for vista? i get dxgi (also with other names like d3d11) error each time i launch game

Sorry to bump this thread but I'm at a loss.

Since release I have never been able to get V to work with Reshade. It always crashes on several versions (0.16-0.18.4) even after I installed Windows Platform Update for Win 7. I've tried every d3d11 rename possible as well but still the same APPCRASH appears after the the Social Club splash. I have the physical PC version so it isn't a Steam overlay screwing anything up either.

I'd even be fine with having a super laggy intro screen if I could just get that far. Any help or just outright telling me to just give up would be greatly appreciated.

If you are still experiencing crashes try disabling Nvidia Shadow Play, seems that it may be a culprit, I was getting crash after crash, disabled SP and it worked right away

Hi! just happened to find a solution for those who still have crashes. !!!!

I have win 8 64, today installed steam GTA V, and absolutely NO solutions worked for me. Nor renames, nor the disabling of the steam overlay, and restart, nor 654355 versions of reshade and/or it's engineered versions posing as "graphical mods". Always a crash at launch, when I tried to run Sweetfx+reshade.

Here's what I did, and worked:

---

1. rename dxgi.dll to dxgi.old

2. run the game (without the sweetfx hook, as we KILLED the dll XDD)

3. go to settings, graphics, and set "windowed" to "borderless windowed" instead of "fullscreen" or "'windowed".

4. ACTIVATE SETTINGS. (space for me, but the game tells you the key anyway)

5. Exit game.

6. Set your desktop resolution to the SAME as you use in GTA V.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE RUNNING GTA V, IF YOU CHANGED YOUR DESKTOP RES., OTHERWISE THE GAME SHOWS UP IN A WINDOW...

7. name back dxgi.old to dxgi.dll.

8. Run the game with sweetfx succesfully... !!
And it displays just like "true" fullscreen. No differences.
I tested a bit the performance, actually, at least for me, no fps drop compared to the "true" fullscreen. Not even one

---

The thing behind this solution, is at least with the last STEAM GTA V update, sweetfx doesn't want to run in fullscreen anymore. Nada. Period. crashes the game at launch.
At least on my Windows 8.1 64, with NVIDIA chip, with last steam GTA V version.
As some solutions worked for others, I think the devil is in THIS combination of hardware and software.

BUT: running the game in windowed mode are possible with sweetfx. But thats just ugly. And small.
So we need the borderless windowed mode, and setting the desktop to the same resolution as the game.

Still windowed, but ALL the differences removed, and the game is at least -graphically- fullscreen.
Logically not, but this is the difference we needed.

Try, try try it out, lads! I try to post it all around the net where people having trouble with win 8 64 + steam + Reshade +sweetfx.

My game starts up at a black screen then crashes after 15 seconds.

I have same problem (using windows 10) tried with v0.13.0, v0.15.0, v0.16.0, v0.18.0.... to 1.0.0 and all versions crash the game.

Also I tried without any shader loaded -just dxgi.dll- and still crashing so it must be something with the game and reshade itself ????
