Depth buffer detection modifications

Yes. They used the Bioshock Infinite engine (Unreal 3.0) for the Remastered editions, which is DX11. The originals used Unreal Engine 2.5, which was DX9, although they did have a DX10 mode. The improvements to lighting and textures were already huge when compared to the originals but now with addition of AO and DoF it looks amazing! I've really enjoyed my return to Rapture. Thanks again, thalixte!!

I have some free time now, thalixte do you need some more test results from various DX9 titles?

Out of curiosity, is this possible to do with OpenGL? DirectX9 seems to be challenging, so I can't imagine OpenGL would be that much better.

Also, has anybody tried using Nvidia Inspector to force anti-aliasing into a game while using this?

Oh, yes, it would be nice

In Half-Life 2 depth is working in-game with some bugs like flickering characters and objects as you travels the map. In 3D menu depth is broken.

Some screens:

Settings that works for me:

As before, to retrieve depth you need to change retrieval mode every game restart, even when you use correct settings. Just change retrieval mode to postprocess and back to 2nd mode.

Warning: Spoiler!

DepthBufferRetrievalMode=1
DepthBufferClearingNumber=1
DepthBufferTextureFormat=0

Thks ! Can you test those ones (should remove the initialization bug, bot not the texture flickering yet):
d3d9_32bits.zip
d3d9_64bits.zip

Initialization bug is gone Nice work. Just one thing that i forget of, depth output in hl2 is black when RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED =1. Maybe DisplayDepth shader mess something up?

Reversed =1

Reversed = 0

Some new screens of bugged objects.

Can have detect depth buffer in re 4 ultra hd edition ?

Bugs aside, Half-Life 2 in motion look good enough for normal gameplay.

Curious thing about this new version and UT3 (maybe all Unreal Engine 3 powered games): with DB Clearing set to "none" I got the DB, MXAO is correctly applied with NO frame corruption BUT the weapon/arm model disappears (it's there BUT with no textures! I can see the MXAO applied to the 3D model!).

The frame corruption - and the weapon/arm model+textures - returns with DB Clearing set to "1"

In Singularity (UE3.x) there's the same issue BUT the weapon/arm model+textures are blackened (DBC "none" and MXAO applied with no corruption):

I just tried Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD with the 32 bit version of your dxd9.dll. I went through every combination but nothing worked.

There has to be a way. I still have the original release of RE4 on the PC (the crappy version). Boris created an ENB for that which had depth buffer access. I can't imagine much changed between that version and the "Ultimate HD" version.

and this mod ?
RE 4 HD

I tried out the new d3d9.dll on A Hat In Time and got the depth buffer working.

unfortunately it seems to flicker when moving and it causes the normal visuals to turn into this mess:

Used the new d3d9.dll for Outlast. Depth Buffer shows, but causes heavy flickering and graphical artifacts and shows only some of the models with major assets missing. Since it's Unreal Engine I'd wager it will work if it works for Dishonored.

I know there should be bugs. I don't have much time to track them for the moment, sorry. But thks for your infos, since i can't test on all d3d9 games.

Could you try those new ones ?
d3d9:
d3d9_32bits.zip
d3d9_64bits.zip

d3d11:
dxgi_32bits.zip
dxgi_64bits.zip

Important edit:
With the 32 bits one, i can now make the depth buffer works as intended in Mass Effect 2 !

Your links are for dxgi.dll not d3d9.dll

Rename it, it's the same.

Edit: there're the older ones, 06 March.

Glad I can help. Tried out the 64-bit one (renamed) on Outlast again and got no depth access at all despite trying out all options.

Whoops... Sorry for the bad links. I edited my previous post, so you can retrieve the good ones
