Clarification on instructions. #4

Hi there! I just need some clarification here.

If I am currently using V4.1 for GSHADE, do I need to just replace the .dll file and thats it?

Do I still need to do the hex editor stuff?

You don't have to do the hex editor stuff.

Contrary to what the instructions say, placing the file in the GShade installation folder doesn't work (at least, not for me). It needs to be renamed to dxgi.dll and placed within your FF14 installation's /game/ folder (move/delete the old dxgi.dll). I'm on 4.1 and it works perfectly when I do this.

@mikathebun Let me know if @AudieMurphy135 suggestion works for you and thanks for the reply Audie.

Alternatively you can try using the GShade Patcher that @NotNite has created since you are running v4.1. I would try this first since this is a more robust and automated patch than my workaround.

Let me know if you get it figured out!

So I am replacing the .dll in the game folder, not the gshade folder? Correct me if I am wrong, just don't want to bork it up.

Hello! I just ended up using the patcher provided by NotNite! Easy peasy!

Will eventually go to reshade, but for the time being this will do.

Glad that worked out for you! For anyone else stumbling upon this, it should be replacing the GShade64.dll in the GShade folder otherwise renaming the GShade64.dll you download to dxgi.dll and replacing the one in the game folder will work.

But using the patcher linked is the best option.

Closing this issue, thanks!
