dayz + reshade, cant get depth buffer access

Dont have ideas how to make depth dependant effects work with current version of dayz.

Have anyone tested it?

In logs i find that line

any ideas how to disable multisampling? thats MSAA?

Disable MSAA in-game.

hi, crosire, thanks for reply!

disabled, yet display depth returns me whole white output....

and now, i dont see any depth or z-buffer references in dxgi logs.

Whole white output means ReShad grabbed the wrong buffer (since it got one, but it's empty). Not much you can do then unfortunately.

any notes how to patch solution, so it would grabb proper buffer?

maybe i need to bypass network limitation?

am i getting the idea right?

There are forks that do this already, you can just check how they did it if you intend to tweak the ReShade source data for this game for depth buffer access.
github.com/crosire/reshade/network

But yeah DayZ being a online game would trigger ReShade's depth buffer block when network traffic is detected, meant to prevent people exploiting it which ensures ReShade avoids getting blacklisted.

EDIT: It does seem to have helped though, security software such as Battle.eye and EasyAntiCheat does block ReShade whenever a new version is released (Thus no longer having a matching signature.) but said version is then often whitelisted though the process can take a while.

The online block would cause the image to go black, not white.
But codewise you are in the right place. There is a branch comparing draw call amounts per buffer a couple of lines below. I'd suggest playing with the numbers there to see if anything useful comes out. You may also attach a debugger and just go through every buffer ReShade added to the possible candidate list manually and use that information to tweak the algorithm to your needs.

thanks alot for replies, JBeckman and crosire

i'm gonna dig that direction, yet i'll be back closer to weekends, when i got some more time to play
