Thks a lot. Yes, the performance mode makes Reshade crash for me too.
Did you see any performance impact ?

I've had to set Vulkan games to Administrator in Compatibility of the .exe, then start the .bat file as admin.

My GPU is RX480, I already Installed the Vulkan SDK.

Did anyone ever gain access to the depth buffer in Fallout 3? I've seen this video, indicating that someone must have done it:
There is also this mod:

which seems to access the in-game depth buffer. However, I couldn't get any of the directx 9 dlls that were still alive for download on this thread to work. The best I could see in the debug layer of any of the qUINT reshades was an NPC model in 3rd person view, but that never corresponded to the first-person view on the screen at the time. The last mention of Fallout 3 seems to be back at post #61. Can anyone help enhance my first play through of Fallout 3?

The DLL files and the installer as of the most recent upload are full compiles of the ReShade source code into these files even if some of them might be pre-named to D3D or DXGI .dll for convenience so I would just try the latest archive and from there use ReShade32.dll as D3D9.dll and see how it goes, MSAA to disabled from memory of what GameBryo and Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas offered and maybe try with and without HDR(shader effect.) and if that helps.

Pretty sure setting MSAA interfered at least and I am almost certain forcing driver level overrides (NVIDIA) for MSAA for D3D9 will break depth compatibility.

EDIT: The tricky bits then come from if any of the D3D9 specific flags are needed or not for ReShade.

[DX9_BUFFER_DETECTION]
AutoPreserve=0
BruteForceFix=0
DisableINTZ=0
FocusOnBestOriginalDepthstencilSource=0
PreserveDepthBuffer=0
PreserveDepthBufferIndex=0
SourceEngineFix=0

Brute force or preserve perhaps, depends on how it's looking like after the initial test and after MSAA is out of the picture if that is still a compatibility problem.

@JBeckman Will give this a shot, I think I have MSAA x2 enabled in the launcher, even though is always indicated as not enabled in reshade. I also have also had HDR disabled from the launcher, but could try enabling it.

Yes . . . comparison 0penGL +ReShade+ Vulkan

0penGL Halfs the Frames by set Reshade 0n/0ff 30/60

Vulkan +ReShade+ perform like D3D Frame trop per Used Shader 0n/0ff 30/35

Can you please test this one ? It should have better perfs. However, i encountered some artefacts in the Reshade UI when scrolling, but it is not too problematic, and could be fixed in the future...

To test it, you have to use the Reshade installer, which will create a .bat file in the game folder. In order for Reshade to work with the vulkan API, you have to launch the game with this created batch file.

Installed it, tried to open it with the .bat file, game starts, but reshade UI not.. any ideas?

New 22.08.2019 +vulkan+ works same as old version i used from 11.08.2019 . . .

Turn 0n +Vulkan+ 0ff a drop of 5-fps is normal for me by using 2 SharpenFilters in my DefaultPreset . . .

Same Performance as DirectX and more realistic compared to 0penGL . . .

NoManSky worked after an Update / Initial Beyond wond work . . . G0G-Version

Set NoManSky in AdminMode

If you have the Steam version of No Man's Sky Beyond, you have to remove the keys in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\Vulkan\ImplicitLayers registry folder, and/or in the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Khronos\Vulkan\ImplicitLayers i order to remove the Steam overlay layer.

The pb is: each time Steam is launched, it will set those keys again...

Hmm I deleted the keys in reg-edit like u discribed, but still no reshade UI
(Its POS1 or shift + F2 isnt it?)

And yes I use the steam version

You can also rename GameOverlay64.dll and kick out the Steam overlay entirely though relaunching Steam will re-validate and add the file back and disabling validation breaks game updating so rename the file back and only use it for testing purposes.

Other functionality goes through that overlay too (64 for 64-bit other one for 32-bit.) so things like the gamepad and input options and more, I keep it disabled for compatibility same as Uplay although neither are as problematic overall as some other software (EA Origin for one.) since I don't really need or use the overlay for anything.

Disabling it in the Steam client just hides the overlay also so that doesn't work it still to hook and inject even if it's no longer drawn just to mention that bit.

Registry bit is the layering for VLK and the Steam overlay but renaming or deleting them and relaunching the game should work just as well though you get the overlay but it shouldn't intefere with Vulkan since it doesn't pass through these other .dll files for this feature though there's also the layer Steam uses for the shader cache if you have that setting enabled in the client.

VkLayer_steam_fossilize64.dll for "Steam Pipeline Caching Layer",

Haven't gotten around to doing much testing at all and mostly just trying to deal with documentation and getting some understanding but eh it's going to be a slow process, there's also the runtime or the SDK but the display driver should contain a reasonably new runtime so other than some additional extensions that are unlikely to be featured outside of development it shouldn't matter for the runtime. (SDK adds some development and debug features but that's more advanced and not really needed for regular usage.)


Seems Metro Exodus also broke something with it's recent update and DX12, low level API usage is going to be a challenge I presume but for now this is VLK focused and existing API's should mostly continue to function as before though it's worth noting how prone to breaking some things can be.
(And that's without software such as game updates or the display drivers thrown around too much.)

Thks Jonas. Yes some report that clearing the Steam shader cache help in loading Reshade...

Hmm I deleted the files in \steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\SHADERCACHE\
and also the keys in the regedit again.
But still, no UI tried to, start it with POS1 and shift+ F2

The default key is the 'home' key, normally

Pos1 = Home though for a German keyboard layout which I think ReShade is unicode aware so these shouldn't interfere other than possibly the key layout differing slightly.

On startup the ReShade initializing on-screen display and shader compiler should also pop up in the upper left corner though with 4.0 the shader compile time is very fast so it doesn't stay visible for more than a few seconds at most but that's also a means for seeing that ReShade has initialized assuming the software starts up as usual without any errors.

Yes POS 1 is HOME

Strange... any other ideas what i can try?
