Path of Exile [??]

pr0cesor wrote: Hello,

Just wanted to tell that Reshade and SweetFX seems not to work on Path Of Exile. As the game is free maybe someone from the devs could check why it is not working? No greeting text, nothing at all. Tried with different version of SweetFX but nothing. According to my OSD, the game is using D3D9.

Please help

ReShade is out! To clarify a few things:

- I am not ReShade's author, it's Crosire
- CeeJay.dk is also not the author, he is the author of SweetFX for which ReShade is mainly done
- ReShade is ONLY the DLL file, not the shaders
- which means that without additional shaders, you can't do anything with ReShade
- You cannot combine it with ENB (which is senseless btw). Well, I can do that but it's impractical

Since Reshade does not hook to the game's .exe I used that method and it worked. You need to put all files (reshade, shaders and injector) in PoE's main folder, edit enbinjector.ini as shown above and launch enbinjector.exe each time before starting the game.

Marty's comment refers to the fact that you cannot inject both an ENB and Reshade at the same time without some serious tweaking and also implies that many shaders are in common among the two techniques, so there's not much of a point in doing so.

Doesn't matter which shaders you want to use. ReShade is the same in the three download options.

Turn on some of the more conspicuous shaders (for example the ASCII one by changing the "#define USE_ASCII" line value from 0 to 1) and you should see the results immediately. There is a large number of settings to play around with so have fun (my usual ones include smaa, sharpening, liftgammagain, tonemapping, vibrance and curves). You can do that by alt-tabbing in and out of the game too, so you can check the results immediately.
I was using version 0.18.4 of Reshade with Framework, but in an isometric game like PoE you'll mostly need SweetFX so that should be ok.

Here's a screencap with the Nostalgia shader on:

Do you run other programs that might interfere? Things like FRAPS, MSI, Nvidia stuff etc? Steam overlay shouldn't be a problem. Also: do you see the Reshade welcome message while the game loads?

JBeckman wrote: You could try to download the Steam version and see if that enables compatibility since it seems you have the stand-alone version currently, I have not tried ReShade with PoE but GeDoSaTo works perfectly to downsample it so I'm assuming ReShade should be compatible as well, besides the online part where depth buffer related effects will be disabled.
