Hi guys, I frequently see you get the same problems during the installation of my mods and reshades so I thought it would be a good idea to clarify things a bit and make a post.1. RESHADE INSTALL AND MISSING SHADERS
Some games have problems with the latest reshade versions (Cyberpunk 2.31 crashes with Reshade 6.7.1). In this case use the previous stable versions.
If you don't see the desired visuals maybe some shaders are missing. Make sure you install ALL the shaders at the beginning of Reshade setup.
I usually provide pictures of my presets so you can double-check missing shaders. Also you can try the Reload button.
2. GAME CRASHES, CTD
STALKER 2 often crashes after installing my mod. In this case delete the ReshadeEffectShaderToggler.addon64 file which is required for the FreeAim shader.
4. BLACK SCREEN WITH RESHADE
If you enabled the reshade preset and the screen turns black that means reshade can't find the lut file. Find the LUT.fx shader and make sure you have the file in your reshade-shaders/Textures folder with the same name as in the LUT.fx shader.
5. MOD REQUIREMENTS
Most of my mods have other mods as requirements and wont look as intended without them. (RenoDX, FreeAim shader) Make sure to read the install instructions carefully before commenting that x, y doesn't work.
I will always try to provide the necessary smaller free mods, shaders or my modlists.
6. FRAME GENERATION AND FLICKERING DEPTH BASED EFFECTS
In some games Frame Generation can cause issues with Reshade depth buffer. Depth buffer is needed for depth based effects like ray tracing (CompleteRT) or depth of field (CinematicDOF).
To prevent flickering and visual bugs you have to manually configure depth buffer for every game. This usually means changing DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED from 0 to 1 in Global preprocessor definitions or enabling some additional settings under the Reshade Add-ons tab (STALKER2). ALWAYS CHECK THE ATTACHED PICTURES.
This post will be further expanded in the future.
