I downloaded the Floris Evolved mod for Mount&Blade: Warband, which comes with ReShade 1.1.0f1, including the Mediator and two (identical?) presets, and automatically launches with the effects on. I would like to turn them off, but none of the ways I could find online seem to work.

• The effect toggle key does nothing no matter what I set it to.
• Disabling effects in the Mediator does nothing and after reopening the tool, they enable again.
• Deleting presets in the Mediator or in the Personal Files folder seems to have no effect (and sometimes using the tool to delete the last preset is simply impossible, nothing happens upon pressing Delete and Confirm).
• Updating the presets fails because they point to an exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\etc and my Steam is in C:\. Copying the game folder there makes Floris freeze on loading textures.
• I don't quite understand what exe to use for Permanent Push to Application (see below), but in any case, pushing an empty configuration to every file I could think of did nothing.
• Replacing every 1 with 0 in every .cfg file removes some effects, but not all of them, and causes the Mediator to only display one tab.
• The only ReShade-related dlls are in the ReShade 1.1.0f1 folder in the mod directory (confirmed by searching my entire hard drive for d3d9 and dxgi), which I've tried deleting both piecemeal and in its entirety to no effect.

Something else which is possibly irrelevant, but seemed bizarre to me when I tried to figure out what exe to use. The mod utilises the Warband Script Enhancer, which, if I understand correctly, requires an old version of the game (aptly named mb_warband_old.exe), of which it created two copies - one in the game directory (which starts in trial mode) and another in Modules\Floris_Evolved\Warband Script Enhancer v3.2.0 (which simply fails to start). For WSE to work properly, the mod is supposed to be launched using its own exe in the latter folder, unlike every other M&B mod I've come across (for them you just start the game normally and pick the corresponding module in the launcher; they have no exe files). Strangely, no matter which exe I use (including the default Steam one and WSELoaderServer.exe for dedicated servers), every other module has vanilla graphics, while Floris Evolved has ReShade effects.

There seems to be a major issue while using AO (Ambient Occlusion) with FFXI online, anything over version 4.5.3.

from 4.5.4 to 4.9.1, there seems to be some flickering issue while using AO, no matter which one: HBAO/MXAO/SSDO,etc.

I also tried version 5.0.2 and above, those are alot worse, infact, they don't work at all, even if it did, it would only for for a split second or two then it will just disappear on its own.

This was on both DX9 (With the use of the injection tool called: FFXI_d3dto9_proxy_v1.1.0.0 by Atom0ic), as well as DX11 (DG Voodoo 2).

Also, just another heads up, MSAA+SGSSAA within nvidia inspector works excellent under DX11 with DG Voodoo 2 (If using reshade version 4.5.3), but, soon as I want to use any form of AO within reshade, nothing appears, all the other reshade, such as bloom, HDR and whatnot, are working fine in conjuction with MSAA+SGSSAA.

Thanks alot.

EDIT:

Forgot to say this earlier:

While using Ambient Occlusion under DX11 (DG Voodoo 2), there is a very abnormal/massive performance drop, no matter the AO shaders, but in DX 9's case, there is none that I can see, just the normal performance drop from the AO shaders themselves.
