Really the biggest concern is making sure you have all the shaders you need, but if you’ve followed my advice above you should be able to find them all, and any you absolutely can’t find anywhere else you can grab from your old reshade-shaders-308 folder and pop it in your new one and see if it works (it often will!).A new website has been launched to act as the new official home of GShade: Ī new GShade Quick Reference has been created to replace the website-based GShade FAQ and long-depreciated GShade Visual Guide. If other shaders look a bit different, you’ll have to go through the same process of tweaking them too, but most should look pretty much the same as before. I don’t know if you pay attention to any of the screenshots I ever post, but I tweak MXAO all the time, sometimes on a shot-by-shot basis, but it never alters the look of whichever preset I’m using because it’s really not that important. It doesn’t contain colour information, it’s just shadows, so if you can’t recreate it perfectly it really doesn’t matter. The thing about MXAO is, though, it’s rarely very important for the overall feel of a preset. You’ll have to get stuck in and try to recreate how it looked before.
Reshade update how to#
I made a guide a few days ago about how to tweak MXAO, and what all the different settings do. In particular, MXAO will look different to how it did in 3.0.8. Most things should look more or less the same, but a few things might look different.

Copy them across to the reshade-shaders folder. Don’t grab the ones you already found in the reshade-shaders folder and subfolders, just the ones you couldn’t find. You’ll find ones like Ambient Light inside the Legacy pack. Then, you can go back to the Legacy pack you downloaded and saved elsewhere, and see if any of the ones you couldn’t find are in there. Tick off all the ones that you find, and make a note of all the ones you can’t find. Now, go to your list of shaders that you made in the first step, and cross-reference it with the shaders in your new reshade-shaders folder and all its subfolders. That way you won’t be adding any duplicates, only the ones that were never updated.
Reshade update Pc#
So what you do next is go and download the Legacy pack manually and save it somewhere on your PC so you can take a look through and pull out whichever shaders you need. However, there are some old shaders in the Legacy pack that were never updated, and that you might still need for your old presets.
Reshade update install#
This is because there are a lot of old shaders in the Legacy pack that have been updated in the additional shader packs, and if you install the Legacy pack at the same time you’ll get conflicts and problems.

This part is important: select all the shader packs it offers you EXCEPT for the Legacy pack. You can leave it all in your Bin folder, and it’s right there if you need to refer to it or reinstall it again in the future. Then put the d3d9.dll, d3d9.log, and reshade.ini files inside that folder. You can do this by renaming the reshade-shaders folder to something like reshade-shaders-308. The next thing I’d do is make a backup of your 3.0.8 installation. Also make a note of their order in the ReShade menu in case you have to recreate that later (load order of shaders matters a lot!). In ReShade 4 shaders come in different packs, which are contained in different subfolders, so having a list of what you need is useful when you’re checking through all the folders to make sure you have them. The first thing I’d do is make a note of all the shaders your preset uses. Hi! An anon sent me a similar ask, so if you’re reading this anon, consider this an answer to your question too!
