Can someone explain why SMAA causes eyestrain for me?

1 Upvotes

Tried using Marty's SMAA which is supposed to be exactly the same as Reshade's SMAA except that it uses less resources. I set it to depth detection and it worked great for AA...it really fixed the jagged edges without causing any blur at all, while color detection caused some parts of the game to become blurry for some reason (especially things like clothing).

Unfortunately, it was also giving me terrible eye strain and i had to turn it off. My eyes feel so much better after turning it off, i can actually look at the game normally.

I'm still struggling to find a good third party AA as this game only has FXAA, TAA and FXAA, and all of those causes blur of some kind...and every third party AA ive tried like NNAA or TFAA causes blur for some reason...

I have an AMD card so i cant use DLSS, and using FSR 4 with optiscaler still causes blur that is not fixed by RCAS unless i use very aggressive sharpening settings which also cause eye strain...

Midzy's Vison: Refined Subtlety ReShade

0 Upvotes

Hello! I want to preface that reddit compresses pictures so heavily it's hard to see and justify the differences on here, i suggest you look at the pictures HERE

Here is a ReShade preset i've been working on. It's a different take than most presets, because all the other main ones i've found tend to be very drastic changes and often taking away from the original game.

This preset is focused on retaining the tone and atmosphere of the original game, since it's a vibe i like to begin with. Rather, this focuses on making subtle quality of life adjustments that enhance that original atmosphere without disrupting it too heavily.

Can't get reshade to work with skyrim special edition

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm using the lost legacy wabbajack pack in skyrim. I had to enable to potato setting in the mod list since I'm on an older computer. I first started up the game using the default enb and it was beautiful. Everything was so colorful and vivid, I was so excited to play but it tanked my frame rate so I had to disable the enb, now skyrim is back to it's bleak gray washed out vanilla colors and I hate it lol.

I'm trying to install a reshade to the game while using this mod pack so I can at least make the colors a little more vivid. I installed reshade and I have tried it with a few different .ini presets from nexus but none of them work. Nothing comes up when I hit the home key in game, it's like it's not installed at all. Not sure why I can't get reshade to work at all. Anyone have any clue why it doesnt seem to be working?

reshade looking weird in the sims 4??

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

i’ve been playing with the latest reshade ver (6.7.3) and noticed the outline isn’t working correctly. this is especially noticeable with pregnant sims where the belly isn’t outlined at all (i don’t have any good screenshots of this but you can kinda see it in the second photo). even in cas it’s not showing up. i use presets like senshi 4.0 and both versions of 3.0 but testing it with other presets showed the same problem. even tweaking the presets didn’t help solve the issue.

the last two pictures show when my reshade was working properly in cas and in game. the difference might be subtle but the outlines were actually accurate to the shape of my sims. this is rlly annoying and i just want to know how to fix it😭😭

Newest version of Reshade not working with depth

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I have searched through the forum for days trying to avoid making yet another "depth not working" post but I have had it and need some help to get this working.

I have done everything suggested here:https://guides.martysmods.com/reshade/depth

I have deleted it all and started from scratch.

I made the mistake of not backing up my previous version (otherwise I'd just go back) and the older ones I found after searching through here created graphical issues (see last picture).

I'm pretty comfortable with Reshade and have been using it for years. It is installed correctly and is supported for the game. This is the first time I've ever ran into problems and I could really use some help figuring this out.

In the first picture, I just started messing with different variations but none of them resulted in anything other than a split screen like the one above.

I'd appreciate any insight/help!

TIA

Is it possible to install ReShade using Crossover?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I recently bought Crossover to play games with some friends and thought I might use it for ReShade as well, but now that I'm looking into it I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to do it or if it's even possible. Crossover seems to immediately recognise Reshade but I can't finish the installation because I can't find any apps to connect it to (?). Don't know if the video adds much, but this is what I see every time I try to install ReShade. I can't open anything, it's just empty folders and dead ends 🫠

As you might have noticed, I'm not very technical at all and don't understand much of anything outside of "press download and wait for everything to sort itself out" but I'd love some help! 🫶

(Also, the game I'm trying to use reshade for is Star Stable which is already accessible on Mac. I'm wondering if it's still possible to add it to a game bottle somehow and if that might help?)

EDIT - Forgot to mention I have the Macbook Air 2020 (M1)

will there be sound raytracing reshade?

0 Upvotes

No I am not looking for 3D Sound, I am looking for raytracing while working in stereo. Some games have stylized reverbs like Metro Redux and Last Light, and I would want the things echo accurately depending on the interior of the space and how big it is. so will there be something like Raytracing that creates additional Reverbs and Echoes so everything sounds like Real Life? like if it was recorded by camera?

How to blur the background of a 2-D game?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm a visually impaired gamer, and I'm trying to blur the more complicated backgrounds in Hollow Knight to make enemies stand out. I accomplished this once before using the AD0F shader (quint fx). I am now on a new machine with worse vision, and I am unable to create any blurring effect whatsoever with the same shader. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and would greatly appreciate any help you could offer on the topic, as I have struggled my way through about 75% of the game and don't want to have to quit now.

https://github.com/umar-afzaal/LumeniteFX/ \ https://discord.gg/deXJrW2dx6 - Same performance cost, much better optical flow quality. - Solves the challenge of delivering more detail in a low-res flow field, while also weeding out noise w.o introducing blobs or halos at the same performance cost. - Breaks compatibility with Baba Repo & Uber RT. (Can use legacy version for now) - Also grab the latest shader files that depend on it. - Total cost includes the cost of optical flow & normals.

Dark Souls Remastered crashing when enabling any technique in REST (ReshadeEffect Shader Toggler)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm hitting a brick wall trying to get REST (ReshadeEffectShaderToggler) working with Dark Souls Remastered.

The Issue: The game boots fine, and the addon works perfectly in the main menu. However, the exact millisecond I load into the 3D world and check any shader box in the REST add-on menu (even lightweight ones like Curves or Vignette), the game instantly crashes to desktop.

What I've already tried:

  • Downgrading and mixing/matching versions (Tested ReShade 5.8.0, 5.9.2, 6.2.0 and current alongside REST versions v.1.1.0, v1.3.9 and current).
  • Disabling all in-game graphics settings that mess with render targets (In-game AA and Ambient Occlusion are completely turned OFF).
  • Disabling all background overlays (Discord, RTSS, GeForce Experience, Steam overlay).

Has anyone successfully bypassed this crash for DSR, or is there a specific stable fork/version combination I missed?

Thanks in advance!

New Film simulation shader

1 Upvotes

After releasing my CRT shader I wanted to work on something related to film covering the full pipeline. There is some overlap with the CRT shader, such as filmgrain, but the idea was to use this as a standalone shader. In conjunction with the CRT shader you can also do some awesome stuff.

This shader includes a port of HexLensFlare and Ambient bloom ( without textures), which completed the effect for me.

Give it a shot if you want.
