Depth buffer detection modifications

-ES Oblivion
A modification in the number of depth-buffer clearance does pop up for a split sec in the last list in the DX9 Tab.

+ Medal of Honour [2010] - Depth Buffer Works.
Weapon Hand Issue and Shadow Issues.


+ Serious Sam 3: BFE - Depth Buffer Works.
Working with no noticeable issues at first. But, similar issues to Medal of Honour with shadows.

+ Neverwinter Nights 2 - Depth Buffer Works.
Seems to be working.

+ Fallout 3 - Depth Buffer Works.
Same issues as ES Oblivion.

+ Fable III - Depth Buffer Kind of Works.
Strobing depth buffer.
I don't want to post a video because it may induce seizures.

+ Life is Strange - Depth Buffer Works.
An issue with CC and Help Text floating behind people.

Looks a lot like the same HUD issue that ES Oblivion had.
This also happens when paused.

No changes to the depth buffer when this happens.

You can run Far Cry 2 in dx10. The last modifs i made on depth buffer detection for dx10 made the depth buffer in this game work.

Great ! I will send new dlls as soon as i can (maybe this w.e. or at the start of the next week). You will be able to tell me if it works.

In your video, could you please let the DX9 settings be visible when those pb occur in motion ?

Hi thalixte,

Can you manage to access Depth Buffer on Telltale Games (I.E: Back to the Future, The Walking Dead: Season 2,
Jurassic Park ) ? They all have the same engine.
I tried but managed to retrieve only the menu on The Walking Dead: Season 2....

I can Steam-gift you the games if you don't have them (I got some spare copy from bundles).
Or is someone willing to help?

If it's of interest: The last 32 bit .dll you provided works well in Resident Evil 6 and RE: Revelations 2 which was not the case for me with vanilla Reshade 4.0.2.

Unfortunately, i have not those games, but you could test if you want.
I am not on steam, so i cannot have your gifts, even if i reinstall it, but i am not a steam fan

Yup.

I wanted depth buffer in resident evil 0 e 1 remaster but dont work

In 1 and 0 all the backgrounds are prerendered anyway (the room below the graveyard with the coffin being an exception) so at least you're not missing out on too much if it's any consolation for you.

MXAO and DOF would be very good in these 2 games

I agree but unfortunately (amost) all the backgrounds are 2D. If we had depth buffer access it would probably only affect the characters.MXAO might work with that to bring out the model's details but DOF seems like it wouldn't really work out.

2 new dlls to test for d3d9 :
d3d9_32bits.zip
d3d9_64bits.zip

Here is a screenshot:

New features added:
The ability to select if you want to separate depth buffer textures into one texture per depth clearance.

By default, if the checkbox "multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" is untick, the behaviour is the same as before: there is only one depth buffer replacement texture, and when "auto preserve" is ticked, Reshade will try to select the rendering step where it should preserve the depth buffer (aka not clear it). This automatic selection can be made either on the number of vertices, or on the number of drawcalls (there are checkboxes to select the method).

If the checkbox "multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" is ticked, when "auto preserve" is ticked, Reshade will try to select the best depth buffer texture to keep. This automatic selection can be made either on the number of vertices, or on the number of drawcalls (there are checkboxes to select the method).

If "Auto preserve" is untick, when "multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" is unticked, you will select a specific state for the single depth buffer texture retrieved.
If "Auto preserve" is untick, when "multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" is ticked, you will select a specific depth buffer texture.

So tested your new DLL with ES Oblivion

You seem to fix the hud issue with Multiple depthstencil replacement buffer. But, the weapon hand are not drawn in this case.
The depth buffer still fluctuates now and then. I also have the video now with the dx9 tab open as per your request.

Youtube video will take time to upload. My slow internet and all

"multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" fixes first person view/camera in UT3 (and I think other Unreal Engine games)
Man, you're a genius. Simply that.

No, Crosire and all those shader programmers are (i am impressed by those mathematics skills they can have in the shaders, especially matricial maths) . It seems to have also fixed Medal Of Honor 2010 (see the following screens, without any artefacts on the weapon when in game):

Unfortunately, there are some games where the clearance number fluctuates. It produces flickering for those games, and some artefacts sometimes.
But now, i guess there are more d3d9 games that can benefit from depth buffer stuffs .

Thks a lot ! I have reinstalled Oblivion from my 12 years old retail copy of the game (in a box), and guess what: my old saves always work (daedric armor and so on) !
Yes, the best results are produced with "Multiple depthstencil replacement buffer" checkbox ticked, but there still exist flickering, and a strange bug on the water.
The engine seems to be very strange, when it comes to depth management.
I also have shimmering on the mountains, but it seems to be related to the MXAO shader, not depth buffer detection.

Hi guys. I'm trying to add MXAO and DOF in Max Payne 1, but so far unsuccessfully. DisplayDepth shows only a white screen. Tried GeDoSaTo, also failed. Can anyone help me? Is it even possible?

Are you using dgVoodoo2+dxgi ReShade or the Crosire Wrapper+d3d9 ReShade?

I tried Crosire Wrapper+d3d9 ReShade.
