sorry in advance for my poor english.

i done an utility called EDFX which is using Reshade framework.
This utility was developped initialy to manage Reshade settings profiles for Elite Dangerous.
it also install and uninstall automatically the reshade framework
I also made my own graphics profile for final users.

so final user can switch between profile with only one click or by some hotkey (ingame and out game)
i'am working actually on multi-game support so final user will be able to manage Reshade profiles for all games.
2.0 beta 4 will be available soon.
it will be delivered with my own Reshade profiles
one for Elite Dangerous
one 'photo-realistic' for The Witcher 3

Language

---

NATIVE LANGUAGE for this utility and readme file is at this time only ENGLISH
yes i know, i'am french...

Installation

---

no installation required, just launch EDFX.exe
if your game is installed in <program files> or <program files(x86)> folder then launch EDFX.exe in administrator mode or disable windows UAC
to avoid issue (like not seeing graphics effects), run Elite Dangerous in FULL SCREEN MODE not in WINDOWED
When it's correctly activated, you will see a blue to white smooth screen before the Elite Dangerous background logo.

Supported OS

---

VISTA/WIN7/WIN8/WIN81/WIN10 in 32 and 64 bits
my OS is Windows 8.1 64 bits and i have no problem at all
my alternative system is Windows 10 64 bits build 10074 and i have no problem at all
IMPORTANT: some Windows 8/8.1 users may encountered issue with FX engine when launching Elite Dangerous.
To fix it, right click on <yourgame.exe> then enable 'Windows 7 compatibility mode
VISTA/WIN7/WIN8 are supported but not tested myself
32 bits mode for all OS are supported but not tested myself

That's all folks, btw sorry for my poor english...

This is cool, I'll have to check this out later tonight. The idea is similar in form to RadeonPro. I was thinking about something like this weeks ago when Crosire was asking about user accessibility ideas for a first official release of ReShade. A central hub for installing and managing profiles for games sounds like it would be great for new users who don't know which files go where.

If you add a config tool with sliders that update the preset settings on every change of the sliders, its ease-of-use would be even greater.

This looks interesting!

Agreed.

Even better, if you could pull game categories and profiles from sfx.thelazy.net, it could act as a browser for profiles on the site and be able to test them with the click of a button.. (downloads the profile -- it's tiny afterall -- applies it and displays in-game all on the fly).

2.0 beta 4 available
