DX11 depth buffer selection save setting

In GTA V using Reshade Overlay Settings I need to go to the DX11 tab and select the 5th depth buffer to make MXAO work.

How can I save that buffer selection setting?

Would love to know the answer too. Similar situation with Steep.

Looks like MXAO got a new version which works better reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/4393-quint

In GTA V (and other games), the depth buffer selection is based on the depth texture address. This address changes at every game restart, so you cannot save it in the config files.

However, there is another way of retrieving the depth buffer, before this one is cleared. In GTA V, it is possible to use it by ticking the "Copy depth before clearing" checkbox. When this mode is enabled, you can also see additional depth buffers by ticking the "Extended depth buffer detection" checkbox.
When you select a depth buffer using the "Copy depth before clearing" option, the parameter is saved and can be retrieved at the next launch.

The "Copy depth before clearing" and "Extended depth buffer detection" give me other addresses not working in GTA V. But without the checkboxes it is always the first entry in the list. So even if the address changes at every game restart I wish I could save the setting "Choose the first entry in the list"

Here is what i got in GTA V. Not that MSAA is not enabled in game for this to work (Franklin's mansion):

In the preprocessor options, i set RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED to 1.

I tried that but the "copy and extended" 5th buffer selection I get flicker every second. Without "copy and extended" the first buffer always works without flicker. I wish I could save that setting - choose the first buffer in the list automatically.

Strange. it does not flicker in my rig. Maybe a pb with the sync method (vsync or not). I own a gsync mmonitor. Also, do you play online ?

It is GTA V online with gsync monitor and nvidia gtx 1080ti driver 391.35 set to vsync on.

The depth buffer detection only works in offline mode.

is it possible to pick a specific texture to not appear instead of selecting a rang of textures
because i want to remove grass from a specific areas in gta 5

Exactly the same problem here with Remedy's Control: no mater which "copy and extended" buffer I choose is either not working, flashes, gets lost, gets scrambled (bad depth), etc... but without "copy and extended" is always the first buffer in the list... why isnt there an option to save the selection in this mode based just in the list order?

Of course, there is. What is the content of your Reshade.ini file ?

It's not the first option, but the fifth. I start the game and select the fifth option:


Close the game and my dxgi.ini looks like this:
[DX11_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DepthBufferRetrievalMode=0
DepthBufferMoreCopies=1
DepthBufferTextureFormat=0
ExtendedDepthBufferDetection=1
DepthBufferClearingNumber=0

Start the game again and in the menus there is only one option available, and none selected:


Once inside the game itself all options appear, but none is selected:

Ok,i see. So, it happens that you use the standard depth buffer detection mode. This one displays depth buffer textures by address, so you cannot save this address in the settings, because it will change every time you will restart the game. I suggest you to try the «save depth buffer before it is cleared » mode. If the auto detect does not work with this mode, you can tick one entry in the list, and the index of this entry will be saved.

That's what I meant. This is the only mode with a valid Depth buffer.
If I tick the «Copy depth buffer before it is cleared » none of the 20+ Depth buffers listed work ok. Some of them work for a while, but at some point they start to glitch or just disappear and the depth is lost.
It should be easy for Reshade to save the selected Depth buffer based on the order of the list (the fifth, the first or whichever) instead of the address.

Have you tested the last dll I uploaded on the "Depth Buffer Detection Modification" thread ? It should work for the dx12 version of the game... Will test it as soon as i can...

You mean this one?

reshade.me/forum/general-discussion/4083...ion?start=1120#35714

Game crashes when finishing loading the level.

Yes. It works perfectly for me, and some other users. I think i know what's wrong for you. You have to remove all the Reshade dlls in the game folder before reinstalling it. You should not have d3d11.dll, dxgi.dll or d3d12.dll Reshade dlls in the same folder...

However, you can try this one:
