The next update is around, with big improvements to the Vulkan backend, effect compiler and the GUI. Not to mention better performance in DX12/Vulkan, improved depth buffer detection in DX9 and DX12, display of preprocessor definitions as variable widgets and new options for shader developers to customize how settings should be displayed in the GUI:

Changelog

4.5.0:

Rework depth buffer detection code for all APIs again (They are now more similar, including more options for OpenGL)
Switched to using SPIR-V for shaders in OpenGL 4.6 for better performance (this needs recent drivers to work correctly)
Added UI widgets for preprocessor definitions to variable list
Added compiler error when passing a r-value to an out parameter of a function
Added compiler error when pass is missing shader functions
Added shader signature verification to effect compiler
Added support for assignment chains to ReShade FX (e.g. "a = b = c = 0;")
Added adjustment buttons to combo box widget and label to radio button list
Added option to show only specific color components in texture preview
Added context menu to technique list to edit included files in addition to the main source file
Added support for texture pooling via "pooled" annotation
```
texture MyTex1 < pooled = true; > { Width = 100; Height = 100; Format = RGBA8; };
texture MyTex2 < pooled = true; > { Width = 100; Height = 100; Format = RGBA8; };
```
ReShade will now attempt to re-use the same memory for textures with the same dimensions and format if the pooled annotation is set. This works across effect files too.
Added "ui_text" annotation for uniform variables to display custom text above the variable widget (see screenshot above)
```
uniform float test < ui_text = "This is text that will be rendered above the widget in the variable list"; >;
```
Added support for GPU timings in Vulkan
Added environment variable to override path ReShade should load the next DLL from
You can now set "RESHADE_MODULE_PATH_OVERRIDE" to a directory for ReShade to load the next DLL, so you can chain ReShade with other injectors
Added OpenGL version information to log
Improved compiler error recovery for parsing errors in function parameter list and annotations
Improved Vulkan command buffer management (which improves performance)
Improved multi-threading of effect loading
Changed setup tool to install global Vulkan layer while it is open (fixes issues with RDR2)

Just updated, everything seems to still be working just fine, no actual issues that I've run into (thank you for the AspectRatioHeuristics fix!)

But on the DX9 tab, is "SourceEngineFix" and "BruteForceFix" no longer needed? They're still preserved in my current ReShade.ini (I didn't make a new one) but wanted to double check.

I also went through the D3D9.log post run and noted the following (clean repository checkout on shaders, but a diff between them don't show these ones as having been updated):

\reshade-shaders\Shaders\Glitch.fx(132, 1): warning X4576: 'fragCoord': pixel shader signature does not match vertex shader one
...
\reshade-shaders\Shaders\Denoise.fx(232, 1): warning X4576: 'texcoord': pixel shader signature does not match vertex shader one

Glitch.fx fixed locally with

float4 PS_Glitch ( float4 pos : SV_Position, float2 fragCoord : TEXCOORD0) : SV_Target
... replaced with ...
float4 PS_Glitch ( float4 pos : SV_Position, float2 fragCoord : TEXCOORD) : SV_Target

Denoise.fx fixed with:

float3 PS_Denoise_NLM(float4 vpos : SV_POSITION, float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD0) : SV_TARGET {
... replaced with ...
float3 PS_Denoise_NLM(float4 vpos : SV_POSITION, float2 texcoord : TEXCOORD) : SV_TARGET {

As well as a slew of: (timed to frametime?):

Those are no longer necessary.

Whoopsie. Yeah, that's debugging code that should not have made into the release. Luckily it only happens as long as you have the "D3D9" tab opened and visible in the GUI.

No, and it wouldn't make sense to do so. The screenshot just shows an example shader, the names shown there have no relevancy.

Alright.

The depth buffer is empty sometimes now with the latest version. On mass effect 2. It happens randomly at specific angles that I look at. Its d3d9 with aspect ratio setting on and copy depth buffer before clear. Same settings as before 4.5.

EDIT: Reverting to 4.4.2 fixed it immediately.

Thank you for the release. I have a question about Vulkan. If i install it via setup.exe the only thing that appears in game's folder is Reshade.ini. Then i can either leave setup.exe running, or toggle the checkbox to enable it in every Vulkan game and close the steup.exe. So no matter which option i choose Reshade isn't injected in any game i tried (Q2RTX, Doom), there's no log and where i would even look for a log?

Okay, got something weird here (I think). Just like Pyewacket the Vulkan API seems to do nothing. There is only Reshade.ini in the games directories and in C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\ReShade\ 4 files. Also the Uninstall is not working with Vulkan: when running ReShade.exe again, selecting the game and selecting Vulkan, it acts like a new install.
And here comes the weird thing: there is no log there after trying to run a game with Vulkan. But when I leave my browser (Vivaldi) open and run the game, ReShade64.log is created right away with these line:

I am far away from being a ReShade expert but this seems weird to me? I did not point towards Vivaldi at any point in the install process. Yet, somehow ReShade is confusing processes or something like that? Vivaldi is open, the game is run and ReShade is trying to do it's stuff on Vivaldi instead of the game.

Update: this log file is also created with *only* Vivaldi running, so the game has not to be active to trigger it? I deleted the log file, never did run a game, yet a new log files was created, again with Vivaldi in it.

Small problem with RDR2. I am using Dx12 with this game and i have a crash if the "Enable Reshade in Vulkan globally" is selected. If i usew the reshade API, it is ok.

If you use the DX12 API for RDR2, when you run the Reshade setup, you must choose the DX10/11/12 option, not the vulkan one.

Sure.. thats what i did... but the game crash at startup if the Vulkan global option is selected (I was installing Reshade on Rage2). If it's not, the game start normally with the Dx12 Reshade..

as far as i can tell, the only other vulkan game besides rdr2 (dont have so havent tested) and no mans sky that seems to work is Rage 2, wolfenstein young blood and the new colossus both crash before the main menu, but the reshade text does come up when you load the game, heres hoping you get these two games fixed soon, they're unplayable without reshade

4.5 is geting its Depth Buffer cleared and in turn you lose the readings for that resolution,It can not be fixed from in-game menu or anywhere else.
It is tied to loading in a level,so when the 4.5 gets new Depth and losses the old one it messes something up and it cant get Depth anymore.
DX9 only.

4.4 never had these issues.

I'm using Epic Launcher, RDR2 product version = 1.0.1232.13
But my friend just reported, He currently using R* Launcher and works fine!
All you have to do is enable "Reshade Vulkan Globally" and then put the related file to proper folder inside C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Local\ReShade

You may read my simple tutorial here:

Update:
I've uploaded a quick video preview in YouTube to prove it:
