Hello, first time talking here. I use reshade daily to advanced functions to push the engine of vit-a-mate beyond.
Reshades d3d11 used in release 4.9.1 worked flawlessly however upgrading to 5.2.1 (reshade only gives you dxgi.dll) it gives the error "unable to save preset to path" permission error.
I thought it was my fault but I managed to replicate it by installing on other clean installs to different drives of the same game.
However when forcing 5.2.1 to load with 4.9.1s d3d11 it does not give the error, the functions are incredibly limited but it proves that it has to be the DXGI.dll causing the problem.
the default preset is in the same location as the game exe and reshade, I have full write permissions, I am the sysadmin, re-taken ownership, folders are not read-only.
It has to be that dxgi.dll.
I have also disabled all windows defender settings as well as add folder and file exception.
I have to get this version working as marty mcflys rtgi only works on reshade 5 now
I should also add that using reshade 5.1 it didn't give this error. only 5.2.1 does
EDit: I just redownloaded 5.1 to try it, same problem, I'm guessing the dxgi.dll is the same one between the two now

it gives the error "unable to save preset to path" permission error.
This is unrelated to the ReShade version and occurs with either. It just means ReShade is unable to access either ReShade.ini or your preset file (detail ReShadePreset.ini) in the game directory, which is common if you installed a game to C:\Program Files (apart from Steam), as that directory has permissions set up to disallow normal users writing there by default. You'll need to make the game directory writable for your user (see e.g. www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/chang...missions-windows-10/ on how) or run the game as adminstrator.
Thank you for taking the time to reply
So I have taken ownership of the folder. It has always been in another drive S:/VAM and reshade is installed in there, with the exe running as admin, the reshade.ini as well as the presets are also under my ownership, not set to read-only.
It works fine if I force it to use the old d3d11.dll but the moment I introduce dxgi.dll as its runtime it just gives me the permission error.
I have a friend trying to nut this out and his works okay, he is on windows 11 and I am windows 10 pro. What else can I try?
I have tried to change the folder attributes through the security tab but it seems to be disabled, and after trying all the fixes to re-enable that folder it won't come back, but that's outside the scope of what I need help with.
It is specifically a problem with running that dxgi.dll and it accessing any new presets the exe makes whereas the same presets are fine to access with the older dll.
If theres any more information I can supply please tell me
EDIT: The same friend finally has the same error. it seems if the preset contains enabled shaders then it won't give the error if any values for those shaders are changed, however enabling a new shader that hasn't been used yet will cause it to error.
We both are solo-user and admins on our systems

Forza Horizon 5
I was having a crash problem right after logging in, it solved it by deleting the textures from the "ForzaHorizon5\reshade-shaders\Textures" folder
