[SOLVED] Reshade and Far Cry 6 performance problems

Using reshade with Far Cry 6 and performance his drops frame rates from 60fps to 40fps. I have tried disabling all third party applications like MSI Afterburner etc and no improvement. Performance hit occurs before any presets including Superdepth is enabled. Any help please?

Same issue:
once the dxgi.dll (or d3d12.dll) is inside the same folder as FC6.exe, the game starts fine. The Main Menu fps are just normal, but once inside the game or the buildin benchmark, the FPS drops 50+% down to 20-30 instead of 70+fps without Reshade/.dll
Doesn't matter what Ingame graphical settings are active or not (low or ultra/with or without RayTracing)

Tried a clean install of Reshade and also tried running with Reshade without any shaders/texture paths known in the Reshade.ini
Tried all previous 4.0.0. Reshade version that support DX12, all with same issue.

Its either the game-engine or something else within Reshade .dll.
Hope this can be fixed.

With some further testing I notice Reshade version 4.5.4 not causing frame rate drops in engine with no preset enabled. However loading Depth3d and alot of other presets causes a instant freezing and a crash to desktop. If I manually put the Superdepth3d.fx file into the shaders folder this loads but does not recognise the depthmap correctly. So something in the reshade versions 4.6 and higher causing performance drop in Far Cry 6. Hope this helps. 

I've had my older card overclocked for years with no issues. But this is the first game where I've had to stop msi afterburner overclocking. Crashes fixed for me.
Someone mentioned underclocking by a few percent helps too.

I ve noticed the same issue
I ve noticed in d3d11 tab there is a row (draw calls) of a 256 x 256 object that could be the cause of the issue,when I go to menu this draws disappear
I ve made a screen of it but I cant find the way to upload
it from disk in editor
regards

Yep, same here, also older versions like 4.5.4. did have the issue too.

My hope is that Crosire will take a look at this. I have spent hours and hours trying to find a solution to no avail. Even tried disabling hyperthreading according to one internet post and this did not go anything to be honest. 

I hope so.
Not much reponse on this subject btw...

Do we even know if Crosire is still around?

Would really liek to know why Far Cry 6 doesn't work with ReShade that well! Getting crashes in Coop and in SP related to ReShade... But Nvidia Freestyle works fine!

There aint much response on this topic sadly
Does anyone get RTGI to work btw?

Hello everyone, I've discovered temporary solution for performance fix (found on Nexus). Just download modified Reshade DLL (all credits goes to CrankerX - a member of Nexusmods) drive.google.com/file/d/19BcOEvcGFr_I7wF...uFT/view?usp=sharing copy-paste-overwright dxgi.dll in \Far Cry 6\Bin\ folder and make changes into your Reshade.ini:
Delete all sections of [DEPTH] and [DX...BUFFER_DETECTION] and replace it with lines below (don't forget to save changes)

[DEPTH]
DepthCopyAtClearIndex=0
DepthCopyBeforeClears=0
UseAspectRatioHeuristics=1

[DX11_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DepthBufferClearingNumber=0
DepthBufferMoreCopies=0
DepthBufferRetrievalMode=0
DepthBufferTextureFormat=0
UseAspectRatioHeuristics=1

[DX12_BUFFER_DETECTION]
DepthBufferClearingNumber=0
DepthBufferMoreCopies=0
DepthBufferRetrievalMode=0
DepthBufferTextureFormat=0
UseAspectRatioHeuristics=1

After these changes Reshade will work as usual, withous drastically losses ~20-25 FPS

Don't download random binaries from the internet. There is an approved binary with fix and explanation what was fixed here: discord.com/channels/586242553746030596/...2/899264525503721532

Opening this link in discord gives me something like "there is no text chanels" - can someone copy-paste here info from discord about this fix, please.

You need to join the official Reshade discord server first.
And you come back here to click the link and you are able to download that.

And grant permissions to Captcha Bot, allowing it to do whatever it wants with my Discord account. I confess - I didn't dare to do it.

@Voltar Thank you so much

Hello everybody
I was not able to find a working Reshade set for Far Cry 6 (except using the modified DLL). The last versions are giving me weird screen artifacts on this game.
Any solutions ?
Thank you

yep, the same here ! Newer Versions since 5.0 are broken, but 4.9 ist still working with crashes and performance problems !

4.9.2 Unofficial works great ! But your captcha on the discord is too complicated !
