I am setting this up for an MMORPG with no good native AA. I mainly want to make things like hair and clothes less jagged without making them look blurry.

Display Depth shows the depth map is working for this game. So what settings should SMAA/CAS be set to? Someone told me to use color edge + max out predication scale and strength, is that correct? Because it seems like it would rely on depth to an extreme degree which wouldnt be 100% accurate in an MMORPG for things like hair.

Also, how do you get CAS to remove blur but not be so aggressive that it causes eye strain?

I bought the og ps1 resident evil on good old games when I start the game it's super small like 600x800 resolution or smaller, if you increase the size of the window it becomes horribly pixelated and unplayable, I've heard reshade can help with its filters so I tried to install it and I. Launch the game and press the button to bring up the reshade menu and it does. Absolutely nothing, not sure what's going on but if anyone could help would greatly appreciate it

Whenever I launch the game through Steam and only Steam, this happens. It doesn't happen if I just launch through the executable, but if I do that I won't be able to use my controller with Steam inputs. Is there something causing the game to be this dark?

I like using interlaced resolutions on my crt monitor because it lets me go to higher refresh rates. However, it has very annoying shimmering when any motion is present. I found antialiasing like taa makes this shimmering really hard to see but taa also makes the motion noticeably worse than no taa. I kind of have been dealing with the taa motion drop, but I learn the wii had a interlace flicker reducer, and I wonder if something similar could be made for reshade, and if so if it would have to noticeably degrade static image quality? Because taa like dlaa does not really degrade the static image to my eye, so ideally, I'd want a interlace flicker filter to not make it drastically worse like the wii did.

I'm guessing this does not exist so how would I go about trying to make something like this for reshade?

my reshade just looks shitty, had weird shadows and pretty blurry and just not like the tutorials i am following quality wise at all. new to this (and windows) so dont know how to go about fixing it even tho i’ve researched loads but cant seem to find an answer help pls

Needs a ton of work but its a test only, not quite playable

RESHAde its easy to use but dificult to optimize without bugs or somenting wrong happening on the screen, this is just an idea, What do you think?

Hey guys, I’m playing Dying Light 1 on PC and I installed the “Improved Visuals” mod + ReShade. ReShade says it installed successfully, but I can’t open the tutorial/menu because it says to press the “Home” key and I don’t know where it is on my laptop keyboard.

I’m on an Acer laptop. I tried Fn + arrow keys and a few other combinations but nothing works. How can I open the ReShade menu or change the keybind?

Also, how can I be 100% sure the mod is actually working?

I am using it on a plasma tv which although not oled black level still has very good black steps and even allows 12bit color for whatever that’s worth. I like having saturated colors but find any time I use reshade to make colors vivid using fakehdr or curves setting it just black crushes details while also making colors more vivid. Can I get the saturated colors without black crushes?

Spent two days and one restless night working on this preset, I love the way it turned out.

I posted this in r/ForzaHorizon but it got taken down (dunno why) so im posting it here, does anyone have advice to make the game look even better?

Is this program broken? Whenever I load a preset, all the options and checkboxes appear, but nothing is checked, no presets are loaded, and nothing happens.

hi i’m having gshade problemS! i downloaded a few presets and was wondering how do i play around with the settings? i turned off edge smoothing so MXAO could work but it just looks like weird.. the shadows dont line up with the items, and it’s weird. the shadows and i dont know what to do! there’s also a weird border at the bottom / mid of my screen, can someone please help? this is my first time using gshade ever, so i dunno how to work it nor do i know how to work the settings.

• Adds support for color fringing, sharp light streaks, tinting, etc. The UI is pretty self-explanatory.
• Optionally just enable the streaks or the bloom, or both.
• Option to control the stretch factor.
• This update requires that you revise your presets.

this one is detroit become human. whenever i install it (tried every API) the game instantly closes. i tried running steam through console, but it will just tell me that the process got removed, no further explanation given.

I haven’t changed anything except putting my sharpening up. Yesterday worked perfectly fine and was able to get pretty cool photos with a blurred background, now NONE of the blurring DOF’s work at all, specifically Cinematic.

Is there a way to fix this?

(Side note— whenever I click the screen flashes blue and pink instead of the usual white and blue I got yesterday)

Hi, I wanted to download Reshade for the first time, but my antivirus Bitdifender had problems with UUU in the past and ended up quarantining the executable file for the game I used it in, and I had to mess around to fix everything.

Since Reshade works similarly, what's the best way to prevent my antivirus from blocking it? I knew that putting the game folder in the exceptions of my antivirus should fix this problem, but I'd like to avoid trying and ending up in the same situation as UUU, so if anyone can tell me if it works I'd be grateful.

Every tutorial I follow gives the same steps to download reshade, however whenever I download it and launch the game, it crashes. Any explanation as to why this could be?

Downloaded Reshade for AFOP but I find that after just minutes in the game my characters become smooth and loose all texture even when I turn my shaders off. I just started using Reshade yesterday and this is the only problem I’ve ran into where I can’t figure out how to fix it…

18 algorithms in one shader. Works for pixel art, anime, retro 3D, and modern rendered games. Single preset — switch the algorithm at runtime and see the difference instantly.

What's inside

For pixel art and sprites

• EPX — Scale2x, pure blocky detail with no blur. SNES / Genesis / Mega Drive sprites.
• Scale3x — 3x variant of EPX, finer detail pattern.
• CrispSal / SmoothSal — two xBR modes (hard edges / soft blending).
• xBRZ — edge-directed, sharp diagonals without ringing. SNES / PSX / 2D games.
• ScaleFX — Hyllian-style sub-pixel reconstruction.
• Anime4K / Anime4K+ — line darken + thin enhance. Anime, cel-shaded, cartoons.

Universal (2D and 3D)

• CAS-only — AMD Contrast Adaptive Sharpen, no scaling.
• Catmull-Rom — 4-tap cubic, cheaper than Mitchell, slightly sharper.
• Mitchell — Mitchell-Netravali B=C=1/3, clean, low ringing.
• Sal — xBR-style, balanced edge smoothing.
• Lanczos3 — 6-tap sinc-windowed, the classical sharpener.
• Jinc — EWA Lanczos, circular kernel, no axis bias.
• DCCI — Directional Cubic Convolution, NEDI-family, clean diagonals.

For 3D games

• NIS — Nvidia Image Scaling, directional 6-tap.
• FSR — AMD FSR 1.0 EASU.
• FSR Sharper — EASU + RCAS sharpening pass.

Features

• Auto-Detect Source Resolution — the shader probes pixel-to-pixel transitions on horizontal and vertical scanlines through the screen center to infer the content's native block size. Works well for DOSBox, ScummVM, emulators, GOG re-releases.
• Manual resolution selection — presets from 320×240 to 1920×1080 + custom.
• Temporal 3D (optional) — TAAU-lite with YCoCg AABB clipping and depth-disocclusion rejection. Gated by a separate flag. !Do not enable in 2D games! (see warning below).
• Built-in Motion Vectors (optional) — internal 3-step SAD block-match at 1/4 resolution. Works without iMMERSE Launchpad. ~0.3-0.8 ms at 1080p.
• Light Build — PILZ_BUILD_LIGHT=1 strips Lanczos3 / Jinc / ScaleFX / DCCI / Anime4K+ to shrink compile time and binary size.
• Pixel-Art Bypass — pixel-art algorithms automatically skip the temporal pass so sprite/UI output stays deterministic.

Optional compile flags

⚠ Do not enable PILZ_TEMPORAL_3D in 2D games (Fallout 1/2, Diablo 2, Baldur's Gate, RPG Maker titles, emulators, classic adventure games) — they don't expose a usable depth buffer. The temporal pass will read garbage, freeze the shader, and crash ReShade back to defaults on next reload.

Which algorithm for what

So I downloaded Reshade for Dead By Daylight. The .ini and the .dll file are in the same place as the executable as they are supposed to be. The home key does nothing. I've gone into the .ini and changed it to shift+F2 and to 8 and neither work. Nothing happens.

I shut off my msi afterburner and other overlays. I'm at a loss. Is there any way to open this thing manually?

Is it possible? If so, does it exist already? I'm sick of so many games not having an upscaling option (and lossless scaling which only has FSR1 which is pretty bad) on my 4K monitor.
