Depth buffer detection modifications

Just use normal reshade dxgi.

About that, I re-suggest thalixte to take a look to the dxgi part, when he'll got some spare time (DX Human Revolution depth buffer detection doesn't work anymore in D3D11).

What do you mean with normal dxgi? I install and set to dx10 if that's what you mean?
It works flawlessly with dx9 render. However the dx9 render still requires dxgi to function. Renaming to d3d9.dll just makes reshade to not load.

I mean normal (official) reshade release.

oh yes it is the official one!
But to clarify, I have used the alternative version provided by thalixte and the official one.

Do you mind testing this dll ? It seems to allow the displaying of the sword in Oblivion.
d3d9_32bits.zip

I wonder if it could help in UT3 or Halo 2...

No luck.....same problems.
And not working in Human Revolution too (DX9 mode, february version is working right)

Just tested it on Halo 2, and it fixes the pb on this game (weapon is now visible on the depth buffer)...

Also tested on UT3. It works if i untick the advanced video setting: disable composite dynamic ligths. So i have the line: CompositeDynamicLights=True in the UTEngine.ini.

It's NOT that option, it's the "directional lightmaps"
But this is not a great solution: the fake shadow of the weapon is still there (and in the february version there's no need to disable anything).

Ok, if you say so. It is difficult for me to make the trad, as i do not play in english. And what about Halo 2 ?

The issue is about how the engine uses the depth buffer for the lightmaps, so disabling the directional lightmaps there's no corruption/artifact.
You've simply read the line before in the advanced options screen

I'll test Halo 2

Yes!
But MXAO still flickers....

Ya, it works in oblivion.


Thank you

Issues with HUD though. I wonder if a Hud mod can fix this. I will get back to you on this.

So testing the HUD mods no dice.... Made things worst.

I do have new information about your new DLLs.

Dead Space 2 not working. Depth Buffer comes in and out. With the modern new DLL, you put here. Some issues in Fallout NV and Fallout 3.

But, no issues when using the DLL posted here around 10/12/2018

This Older one seems to have some magic you used .


This is also the DLL that works with Fallout 3 and NV

I get this in my log, what does it mean?

00:27:09:129 [04828] | ERROR | Failed to create depth stencil replacement texture! HRESULT is '0x80070057'.

its spamming the log.

What is the game ? If it is on Stalker, it is the error i had when multi sampling was enabled (ingame anti-aliasing). The MSAA indicator did not work right on Stalker, so it told me that MSAA was disabled, even if it was not the case...

Ok, so let's try this one:
d3d9_32bits.zip

You can also try it on Unreal Tournament 3

This newest version word really well with Dead Space 2 & Fallout 3.
DS2 DB

DS2 CB


F3 DB

F3 CB


As for ES Oblivion

Seems to be the best one yet. Even with the bug.
Maybe we can allow for selection of two Depth Buffers as i suggested before? Just a thought.

I have to make UT3 in the next post.

Unreal Tournament 3: Black Edition.

So I ran UT3 with my normal settings with Motion Blur Off.

This option gives weapon corruption.
UT3 DB MB Off Option 0

UT3 CB MB Off Option 0

But, only the weapon hand DB is of lower quality. It seems like this is the World DB. Since the Weapon Hand is not scaled.
An issue that even my shader has to deal with.

This option gives no weapon corruption.
UT3 DB MB Off Option 1

But, only the weapon hand is drawn in this DB. To scale.

So the issues in UT3 were solved by enabling Motion Blur.

UT3 Settings


This option gives no weapon corruption.
UT3 DB MB Off Option 0

UT3 CB MB Off Option 0

Both World and Weapon Hand DB are drawn to scale. With no corruption in the CB.

So looks like Motion Blur seems to combine the Depth Buffers in this game. This is my assumption. I hope this helps.

House of dead 2 on demul [Sega Naomi version] has issues with depth buffer:




Which results in weird depth of field and AO.

Pc version works fine but the graphics of pc version is heavily downgraded. Also some other games on demul like shenmue work fine with reshade's depth buffer detection. So it's can't be a demul problem, rather a game specific problem I suppose?

Have you tried to play with the RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE var ?

You're right BUT there's always the fake shadow (of the hand+weapon model) issue
