Hey guys,
I'm new on this forum because I have a problem with ReShade and MasterEffect using it on Arma 3. I found this thread: sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/2951/
I saw that he used the MasterEffect shader and downloaded it but after that there was given in the readme.txt that I also have to install reshade to use it. That's why I came to this site.
Here's my problem: If I install reshade, Arma 3 is not starting anymore. My question: Is that because Arma 3 had a new update some days ago? Or did I something wrong?
I already reinstalled Arma 3, just to make sure that it is clean.

Hey. Which ReShade version did you use?
Yes that preset is using master effect reborn shaders which require ReShade.
That particular one I made a few months ago and it was using a much earlier version of Reshade. Not quite sure which one.
But it was an older reShade .DLL
The one i currently use for Arma 3 is 0.18.4, not out of necessity, but because I haven't updated to 0.18.7?(i think thats it)
Here is a repository a lovely fellow made with all the previous reshade versions: www.dropbox.com/sh/jzn2jsb0zt55ci3/AAAjI.../ReShade%20Only?dl=0
Scroll down and you should see 0.18.4 Give that a try. Rename the reshade32.dll to dxgi.dll
(additionally you can use the most recent reshade version hosted here, click the download button above the forum)
Drop that .DLL in your Arma 3 directory. Which should be located in your steamgames unless you got the Bohemia version.
Make sure its in the directory with the arma3.exe
Then download master effect reborn: reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/161...born-official-thread
Repeat the steps done for the .dll (install it to your arma 3 directory)
Then to finish it off copy the preset from the database and replace the stock values in the mastereffect.h file (copy and paste over)
Hopefully this helps you. I currently use Framework for pretty much every game including Arma 3 so I haven't played with MER in quite a bit.
Oh and a few other things, I just tested launching the game via the default bohemia launcher and reshade works fine.
And I just updated my framework preset... Little shameless advertising here.
EDIT: In case you have installed it right, make sure there are no other overlays up other than steam in-game.
I use Rivatuner and that's the only one i know for sure works.

Oh thats good.
I just forgot about this fix Crosire found out about in a previous arma 3 thread.
Can't believe this one slipped my mind:
Make sure you have the Windows 7 platform update installed.
support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2670838
I'm just going to leave that there in case anyone else has similar issues. This fixed someone elses problem with Arma 3 not launching with ReShade.
This can be considered "solved" Also it should probably be moved to troubleshooting
