How do I launch ReShade? #4

Closed Belugaking closed 2 years ago

Belugaking commented 2 years ago

The script doesn't really explain how to launch it and it looks like that on windows it's shift + f2 by default but it does not seem to work.

kevinlekiller commented 2 years ago

When you start the game, a message will show up to show that it's loaded, it will show the key you need to press to access the interface, by default it's the Home key.

If the message doesn't show up, it's usually because the wrong ReShade dll or dll name was used.

Also, sometimes ReShade doesn't support the game engine (RPG Maker games for example) or graphics API (Pre DirectX 8 games for example).

If you list the game in particular, I can try to look it up or test it if I own it.

Umm I'm pressing home and the ui still not opening

Elden ring doesnt even show the little message at the top. Ive tried just about everything and it still refuses to work

kevinlekiller commented 2 years ago

Elden ring uses Directx 12, maybe it needs the dll to be named d3d12 ?

DieuDeGlace commented 2 years ago

seemingly that is not it; however, i did find a fix. Using an older reshade version apparently works. though if i wanna use the new reshade version ill try it.

I'm getting the same issue with Elden Ring, no gui menu and i dont think its working. I put the .ini preset in the game directory and tried to link it to the script but i dont think that worked/

I'm setting up reshaders for the first time on Linux---for Elden Ring---having done it only for Dark Souls 3 on Windows. I tried using SteamTinkerLaunch last night (but faced reshade download issues, so here I am), but at least got far enough that the ReShade text showed but on the EasyAntiCheat popup only. I didn't get GUI in-game, either.

@DieuDeGlace , which version of ReShade did you use, and can you guide a noob to how you got it to work?

kevinlekiller commented 2 years ago

If you download the ReShade exe file, you can extract it with the program 7z, 7z x ReShade_Setup_5.0.2.exe for example.

Among the extracted files you'll find 2 .dll files, one called ReShade64.dll and one called ReShade32.dll, if the game is 64 bit (Elden Ring is, see https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Elden_Ring#API) you want to use ReShade64.dll, you'll have to rename ReShade64.dll to something the game will pick up, since the game is using Direct3D 12 (see aforementioned pcgamingwiki link), you want to name it either dxgi.dll or d3d12.dll.

You then drop that file into the game's folder where the main executable file is, which is called start_protected_game.exe, according to https://steamdb.info/depot/1245621/

You then launch the game and configure ReShade and set the paths to where your shader files are.

Edit: Also you need to set WINEDLLOVERRIDES for the dll you picked.

Thank you, @kevinlekiller , I'll try that!

Ok, it's up and running! ReShade on Elden Ring! Thank you for the excellent script, @kevinlekiller , and for the tip, @DieuDeGlace !

To get it working, I downloaded and ran the reshade-linux.sh script, and followed the prompts throughout. I then downloaded ReShade v. 4.9.1 from this ReShade repository, extracted the .exe, and copied ReShade64.dll to the Elden Ring game folder, renamed it dxgi.dll, replacing the symlink created by the script. Running the game through Steam with launch option WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command% as provided by the script launches the game with the ReShade text showing not on the EasyAntiCheat popup as I previously saw, but in the game itself, where Home then opens the ReSahde menu.

kevinlekiller commented 2 years ago

You can now manually specify a version of ReShade:

RESHADE_VERSION="4.9.1" ./reshade-linux.sh

sorry for not seeing this earlier, and glad to see you got it working, but yup thats what i had to do. Though I could kinda short cut it since i have two ssds (one with windows the other endeavourOS) so i just had to grab the dxgi.dll from my windows elden ring file and plop it into linux. Also sounds good kevin!
