It seems only when SuperDepth 2.0.1 next is enabled is causing that ....

So now when using Copy depth buffer , and choosing Depth buffer, there is no distortion with Superdepth
So to fix this distortion > Launching game, Superdepth and PPFX Bloom already enabled . Works fine
ALT TAB > Distortion
Enabling Copy Depth Buffer choosing depth buffer > No issue Alt Tab

It also happens with Depth3D shader , this happens when not selecting Clear Depth Buffer before

Only when reload it works fine

Is this something with Reshade issue or Superdepth Shader ??

There are issue also with Just Cause 4 , it jumps between Depth Buffer and it's flickering

I guess it is a superDepth related issue...

For Juste cause 4, it seems to work well when you enable "Copy depth buffer". Does it flickers in this mode ? If it works in this mode, just keep this config.

For this to work, you have to force Crysis in DX9 mode (via the -dx9 parameter), and rename the Reshade dll into d3d8.dll. The last release works pretty well in this mode:

no it doesn't flicker, it works fine.. Also NFS Payback works fine when I check it when ALT + TAB , it fixes both issues with both games. Selecting "Copy depth buffer" fixes both games issues.

With Just Cause 4 it just jumps through Depth Shaders , so it's a problem with Reshade can't select the right shader and stick to it. only when using the Copy depth buffer makes it stop.

With NFS Payback it's something that corrupted with Super Depth when Alt tab that causing the depth to distorting again selecting 1 depth buffer with Copy Depth buffer fix the issue. it's like all issues related to the Auto buffer detection .

DarkSiders 2 for example I am not sure if it's DX9 or DX11 game. Reshade on installation says it's DX9 . for now I used DX11 and the game works with Reshade menu working but when I enable SuperDepth 2.0.1 Next the game freezes and freezes all the times when I enter the game.

Darksiders 2 is a DX9 game, according to PC Gaming wiki. Did you ask BSD about this pb ?

Yes,

He said he can fix DarkSiders 2 , and the others he says it's not issue with superdepth , something with reshade..
I will check Darksiders 2 again with Dx9 instead DX11 just to make sure .
EDIT : DarkSiders 2 freezes even DX9 when SuperDepth 2.0.1 Next is enabled, and keeps freezing at launch , can't even open reshade or do anything as long superdepth is enabled . so need to remove it from the list to gain access again . He said he will fix it when he has the chance , he can't now , in transfer to other place.

How can we fix this issue with NFS Payback and JustCause 4 and maybe other games ?

Also in BladeStorm nightmare with any 4.2.x and down I had mouse support , now there is no mouse when I open Reshade menu ... also keyboard doesn't work in the Reshade menus ,, I don't know why.

I just tested NFS payback with reshade 4.3 and the last version of superdepth3D, and i did not encounter the bug you mentioned.

For Just Cause 4, there is no need to make a fix. The purpose of the "Copy depth buffer" checkbox is to resolve those specific cases.

Ya I literally dont understand what kind of bullshittery is going on right now but NOW.....sometimes reshade works with the 32bit version of crysis sometimes 64bit but NEVER when trying the -dx9 parameter. i dont know if my crysis is fucked but im beginning to think its botched.

The reshade dll comes in two flavors: one for 32bits games and one for 64bits games. Have you checked it is the right version ?

i literally only re-installed crysis to test the raytracing shader with my 2080 ti since barely any games are using rtx tech. Crysis now wont recognize the d3d8.dll. 32 bit or 64bit. I even compiled my own installer and individual 32/64 bit dll's and still nothing with crysis. i think ill just move on lol. Im trying to think of other games that show the depth buffer easily. I somewhat got garry's mod to work by doing the same trick for most source games - r_drawvgui 0. But I think i need to adjust the distance because its barely showing depth.

Help please set up the depth buffer in A Plague Tale Innocence, I used different reshade versions and settings, but nothing helped

Of course. It works nicely with the last Reshade release (4.3.0):

Reshade.ini:

[GENERAL]
PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000.0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=1,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=0
...
[DX11_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DepthBufferRetrievalMode=1
DepthBufferTextureFormat=0
ExtendedDepthBufferDetection=0
DepthBufferClearingNumber=3

sooooo i had to take off windows compatibility for Crysis 32bit and use d3d9.dll not d3d8.dll like you had suggested. it would not let me use 64bit crysis + 64bit reshade for dx9 for some reason. Just wouldnt work. The water on crysis is now green and glitched asf, i'm assuming because its using dx9? idk lol.

Good to hear it works without having to rename to[strike] d3d8.dll[/strike] dxgi.dll (i had both d3d8 and dxgi.dll in my game folder, and in fact, it is dxgi.dll which works, even in dx9 mode, sorry for that mistake :oops:

). On my rig, it did not. I never encounter any artifacts in dx9 mode.
Look a this video: Digital Foundry uses the dx9 mode of Crysis, and it works very well:

I dont understand why my my raytracing shader doesnt do that in my crysis. I got 64bit to work with reshade and im using the most recent version. I have kingdom come deliverance and when i enable rt in there, it has the same effect as digital foundry does in crysis. My crysis just refuses to allow rt to work for some reason. its so weird....

Strange indeed. On my rig, it works as intended...

Here are my last dlls (for d3d9): added an option to fix source engine games + fix Crysis depth buffer when "Preserve depth buffer from being cleared" checkbox is ticked:

NEVERMIND. everything works as it should now.....i literally dont know what i did to fix everything but all my games work now. I'll record some gameplay of the raytracing shader in action for a 2080 ti performance reference. Kingdom Come: Deliverance / Crysis / Guildwars / Star Wars Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast / The Vanishing of Ethan Carter / Grand Theft Auto V. A mixture of older and newer games to see how they all hold up. I'm sure I'll keep testing new games as well.

This is normal if it does not work for you.If you take a look at my screenshot, you will see that i ticked two checkboxes in the DX11 panel.
Most of the times, for many games, Reshade has a direct access to the depth buffer.
But in some games, the depth buffer is not accessible because it has been cleared before the final rendering stage (where Reshade applies the post processing techniques). This is the case for this game.
So an option has been added to Reshade in order to retrieve the depth buffer before it has been cleared. It is the purpose of the "Copy depth buffer before clearing" checkbox (it could also be renamed in "Preserve depth buffer before clear").
Now, when the checkbox is ticked, by default Reshade will make a copy of the depth buffer before each clearing stage. Then, you can select the clearing stage before which you want the depth buffer to be retrieved.
In A Plague Tale: Innocence, it works when selecting the third clearing stage, as i did in my screenshot.

Hello, I have a question about source engine based game Vindictus. Depth buffer detection works fine in main menu, but in game it turns in something like this:

Its a mmorpg, so it may be network issue, but something is being displayed, which is strange, I think if everything was ok, then nothing or everything should be displayed.
