Depth buffer detection modifications

And totally fubar (expected?) with other games:

Commandos Strike Force:

Bloom overbright in Source Engine:

About DXHRDC, can you make a custom version "correcting" the dev choice of halving the resolution of the bloom pass?

What do you mean by "overbright issue" ?

Take a look here

Weapon transparency artifacts (as expected)

No weapon transparency artifacts BUT overbright

Any way to fix this? HBAO via Nvidia driver works properly, npcs and other objects are detected.

Could you please show me the dx9 tab settings ?

Hey Thalixte! I saw you posted on my thread about my depth buffer problem, I was wondering if you would you be so kind and troubleshoot this with me somehow? I am desperate, I've been trying to get this to work for so long. I will donate to you
Please add me on discord if you can : Gonzo#7550
If you can't, I fully understand.
Also here is what my DX9 tab looks like

Hello ! What if you tick the "preserve depth buffer from being cleared" option ? As i told you on another thread, if you play online, the depth buffer detection will not work.

I have been messing with that all morning with no luck.
And I'm not playing online I am using it to record demos/replays of gameplay. Many people I know use it without problem.

I don't know which version of the .dll, but its one of your recent ones. I have messed with everything that is possible to mess with and I still get a black/white screen with DisplayDepth.fx and other depth buffer reliant effects don't work as they should.


Please can someone add me on discord and help me with this : Gonzo#7550

I quickly tried one, Mirror's Edge (2009) but this one is going without any luck regarding the depth-buffer.

Could you shine a new light onto it?

Thanks in advance !!

Oh, yes, good idea Mirror's Edge. Will try it...

So what finally happened with Mirror's Edge?
Im wondering if you did something i really want to try MXAO on it or even RT.

Interesting... I think i know what happens with this game: the original depthstencil used to create the depthstencil texture used by reshade is only related to the scenery, not the character. To make it work, i should disable some tests, i guess. Is it Assassin-s Creed II ?

Yes AC 2, same happens in AC1.

Just tested Mirror's Edge, and it seems to work very well.
In case, the dll i used: d3d9_32bits.zip

Of course, you have to disable the ingame anti-aliasing for the depth buffer detection to work. As soon as i can, will make screenshots...

For Deus Ex only: this one (and yes, it has performance impacts, it is intended)...

d3d9_32bits_Deus_Ex.zip

d3d9_32bits_Deus_Ex.zip

Hey, just wanted to know if you think the bug in AC is fixable. Holding off from replaying the games if it is.

Can you test this one for AC2 ?
d3d9_AC2.zip

With the Reshade.ini settings above:
[DX9_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DisableINTZ=0
PreserveDepthBuffer=1
PreserveDepthBufferIndex=4294967295
AutoPreserve=0
BruteForceFix=0

You can also try with BruteForceFix=1

@thalixte

[DX9_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DisableINTZ=0
PreserveDepthBuffer=1
PreserveDepthBufferIndex=1
AutoPreserve=0
BruteForceFix=0

Worked with those settings.

Thanks a lot. Seems to work fine.

Depth Buffer in A Plague Tale (DX11, 64-bit) is displaced/shifted. Can this be fixed ?


Edit: Nevermind, got it fixed. You have to turn LensDistortion off in the ENGINESETTINGS file.
