Reshade and Vulkan

And when using reshade vulkan globally, where are the reshade files and settings because I don't see any shaders in the in-game reshade menu like when using any of the other backends?
EDIT: found it. C:/ProgramData/Reshade/ is not a good place for use to use reshade globally. It doesn't read shaders from the game folder. Instead it tries to read them from the programdata folder (when using relative paths in the reshade ini that is) in which windows prevents anything to be downloaded there. That's why I'm not getting any shaders read while in vulkan mode! We need to be able to tell the reshade.ini to put the global files in a place of our own choosing. Definitely not in our programdata folder.

However I understand there is now a "global" box which I think applies reshade to all "vulkan" software...…..?
Assume you can still install reshade onto each game (non-global) and it still should work?

not sure I fully understand - but I only want to try reshade with XP11 - so
do u mean at the install I leave global unchecked so reshade will install into the XP11 directory (like the old opengl reshade - where each game has the reshade files installed into the game directory) - but everytime I run XP11 and want reshade active this means I need to open install tool before running XP11?

The alternative is to check the global checkbox, in which case it stays persitent and you do not have to open the setup tool each time.

1)so doing the non global setup will install the files directly onto XP11 so guess to remove the reshade you just delete the files on the local folder? - when you say keep the setup tool during running od XP11 assume you mean just double clicking on the reshade.exe so its open you don't need to select any vulkan option? (why can't it be made to run locally just like the openGL version or does vulkan need to work in a different way)
2)If you install the "global" version assume this automatically loads reshade into anything that has "vulkan" - if you install the version how easy is it to uninstall? (I read (not sure if its true) if you try to delete this version you may need to update some registery entries)

2) To uninstall that variant just open the setup tool, uncheck the checkbox again and close the setup tool. Done. It's really not hard. You most definitely do not need to worry about editing registry entries or what not. Ignore those posts.

so noting your comment that the global installation is easy to delete with no registry editing - seems it might just be easier to install the "global" version in the first place?

by updated what do you mean? (assume you are not talking about to the latest version of reshade but something else)

I'm having the same problem discribed above. I'm want to run ReShade on X-Plane 11.50 witch is Vulkan enabled. so I installed ReShade to run on Vulkan globaly, thicking the checkbox. However when X-Plane loads nothing happens, on OpenGL API it used to have a status window on top, showing ReShade loading progress, and now it doesn't. It also doesn't open main window by pressing "home" key or "shift+F2" whatever key is set, nothing happens. I can't find any DLL on the executable folder, and there are no presets, too, but only "ReShade.ini" file and "reshade-shaders" folder
Any help please?
Thank you

EDIT:
Found the fix here . I had to add --allow_reshade=1 as a 'Launch Option' in Steam for X-Plane 11.50b9

What is the reshade vulkan dll supposed to be named?
Reshade comes with 2 files:
ReShade32.json
ReShade64.json
These are configs for Vulkan layer system. You dont need to rename your Reshade dll, just copy the DLL and config into game folder where EXE is.
Then run regedit:
winkey+R -> "regedit" -> enter
go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\Vulkan\ImplicitLayers
Add new REG_DWORD key and its name as full path to either ReShade32.json or ReShade64.json. By default these configs point to reshade dll named ReShade64.dll in the same folder. Make sure it is named like that (should be by default).
Now you just start the game and it hooks up. Best solution would be, of course, to do what Reshade does with installer - i.e. have only one location where ReShade64.dll and ReShade64.json are so you can have only one layer registered globally for all games.
