3.0

After months of work it's finally finished. ReShade 3.0 is a major rewrite of the project, featuring an in-game GUI and so much more. Change values on-the-fly, see ideas take shape immediately, create and load presets from within the game, etc. Installation and usage has never been easier. Just point the setup tool to the game you want to install ReShade to and you're done.

• Removed support for anisotropic texture filtering (doesn't make much sense in screenspace)

Wow this is amazing as always crosire and big thanks to all community!
Doom 4 is working with Reshade 3 so this is like a revolution of the tool to be able to handle first OpenGL games released recently.
Only few things noticed especially in Doom are that SMAA and FXAA makes darker screen to appear, any fix/solution on that in the future releases?
Can't wait until you will be able to update CeeJay HDR plugin for Reshade 3!

Great work done there

Changelog

3.0.0:

• The changelog is a little big to put down here. I suggest to head over to the progress topic for some details instead.

!! Many thanks Crosire for your totally awesome ReShade 3.0,
its fast (minor fps loss) & easy to use (installed in no time + ingame menu works great) !!

Don't want to look like an ungrateful prick that doesn't appreciate other people's hard work, but unfortunately I'm going to come out as one anyway. Where is a proper how-to to this release? I don't even know how to call for the in-game UI now.

Okay, found it's "Shift+F2", had to wait for about 1.5 minitute for the shaders to be loaded in. Sorry, my fault then. One thing though, I can't change the keyboard layout when in the config menu, so anything I type there ends up gibberish...

An amazing release. Editing directly in-game is the best thing!

There are some core SweetFX shaders that I'm not finding here. Will they be added soon? Or how can I add them manually?
HDR, DPX, and some others. As well as COLORMOD from the CustomFX suite.

Thanks!

THX and appreciation for your development. Great stuff though. Now we need Reshade 3.0 working with Ocukus CV1 !!!!!

peace out

Added a changelog

Thanks, sire!

Hi crosire. First of all thank you for your work, now it works even with games where the previous version did not. I would like to report a bug found in 3.0.0.138 or 139 that SMAA makes the screen really dark with OGL not with D3D9 or D3D11. Another user also report that it happens with FXAA, this did not happen in v 3.0.0.130. Thanks in advance! Greetings from Argentina.

The setup tool is now capable of installing ReShade over an existing installation without resetting the config file in the process. So it's useful if you just want to update the default shaders now.

Since yesterday some changes were made to the default shaders @ github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders :

• Added Daltonize, Deband and HQ4X effects
• Added #ifndef...#endif blocks around MXAO #defines so those can be set in the in-game menu
• Renamed BilateralBlur to SurfaceBlur since the former did not make sense
• Fixed AmbientLight, CRT and DOF compiler errors on D3D9 (though it will fail if you enable performance mode in the current ReShade version)
• Removed Outline effect, since we have Cartoon already

Wow, you're fast! HQ4x back! Yay

Any chance to implement 6xBRZ scaler filter in ReShade?

Thanks crosire, you rocks man!

In time ...

Yay, sRGB conversion bug is back. Can reproduce so will likely post a fix sooner or later.

Maybe somebody will. Right now I'm only modifying existing shaders from 2.0 so they have configuration options under 3.0.

---

Next version will have a search bar for techniques as well so it's easier to find stuff.

I spent 2 hours playing around. It is fantastic way to edit. Though my enslaved brain still alt-tabs without thinking then realizing it is not in other window to edit

It is such a improvement. Before it was kind of tedious work. I even improved most of my settings. Especially color correction is so much easier

Windows "Smart" Screen is blocking the release 3.0.
Of course I ignored the warning.

WalterDasTrevas wrote: Windows "Smart" Screen is blocking the release 3.0.

It blocks all executables downloaded from the web which aren't signed. So nothing out of the ordinary here. And a proper certificate is a little expensive.

I reported this before but it seems to have gone unnoticed. Serves me right for being a bit of jerk...

Anyway, please, allow language switching when the configuration windows is on. Right now it only uses the default input language which is a complete bummer in my case as anything I type in there ends up being junk symbols. I have to scroll through all the shaders and look for the one I need instead of just typing its name and be done with it. I know I can just make English my default language, but that workaround is kind of crutch, so to speak.

Please, do your international users some justice here

Also it'd be nice to have some brief discriptions of what each shader does, as it was a complete nightmare for a dummy like me to figure out which plugins were what I wanted. Ended up googling each by name, still couldn't find an explanation for a bunch of them.

I've only used it for a few minutes and it's already far more intuitive. So excited to see all the new shaders as well: especially MXAO! This is really turning into something special. How can financially I donate to your continued efforts?

Good relise, just one suggestion, fps is good now, i like the font and color choice, but you can do better if we can choce in what corner put it.

It looks like Reshade 3.0 conflicts with Mass Effect 2 "modded DLC authorization" .dll fix. If both are installed the game never starts, no error, the game's processes just hang in the task manager forever.

No problems with Reshade 2.0.3 + SweetFX and the dlc fix.
