[SOLVED] Reshade preset transition alters preset file

I have a system where I am using a modding script for the game to capture transition events (from day to night, exterior to interior, sunny to rainy, etc), and that script writes to a file, and then autohotkey reads that file, and triggers a different preset to be selected.

It works well, except sometimes one preset will seem to overwrite another. I am still not exactly sure when this happens, but it happens often and I have to close the game, copy my presets from a backup directory back over and start again.

Ideally, I would like to just make my presets "Read Only" to prevent this from happening.

However, when I did that, I get an error message from reshade complaining that it can't write to my preset files, and the error message sticks on the screen and wont go away.

Is there a way I can either prevent the corruption of my presets from happening, or prevent reshade from complaining about the files being read only?

Thanks!

Use latest ReShade version, there have been bugs in the past causing transitions to cause data to be written to the preset. Also, disable AutoSave to be extra sure.

I was using an older version of Reshade. I updated and the problem seems to have gone away! Thank you
