DCS World and Reshade

[M0ltar]

 

Thx mate, so a simple update/overwrite is all i need to do :thumbup:

 

Correct.

[TheCoyoteHunter]

Quick question: does reshade offer anti aliasing that is not as taxing on the gpu? 

I can completely get rid of shimmering textures by setting msaa to 2X and ssaa to1.5, but its pretty heavy. My  GTX1060 will go from 80 fps to 40fps.

Thanks

You can try SMAA, it works well as an MSAA supplement.

[TheCoyoteHunter]

Thank-you for the reply.

 

Is SMAA through re-shade?

I tried MSAA through the Nvidia Control Panel, but alone it left lots to be desired. Perhaps it may be better with SMAA.

[petsild]

SMAA is in the basic ReShade package, also the most useful filter of all.

[TheCoyoteHunter]

Thanks I'll have to give it a try.

It actually does a pretty good job after adjusting the settings to my preference. Only downside is, I like to run in G-Sync compatible mode. My Monitor is Free Sync, but my GTX 1060 in G-Sync compatible mode works so well. With Re-Shade I cannot get G-sync Compatible mode to work.

 

I'll play around with it yet, but so far with MSAA at 2X and SSAA at 1.5, I get 45fps down low and 70fps up high, with virtually no shimmering effects. Game looks really great too.

 

With Re-Shade I can remove most of the shimmering and stay over 65fps, however weird as it sounds, the lower fps with G-Sync feels smoother. The Fake HDR in Re-Shade looks pretty awesome too.

 

Too many choices these days.

Could You share Your preset? Thx.

Hunter Joker,

 

check my post linked above. It´s anput the "water" but gives you general information on reshade and my preset for download. I tried several settings but this is what I like most. Depending on clouds (percentage of skycoverage) I only tune the "sky temperature" and I am good to go. prod80´s shaders are highly recommended. Maybe you need to adjust gamma settings in main options of DCS to your liking.

I don't know a better setting than the default one.

I installed ReShade and a Moltar profile I had dated 4/12/21 and noting happened...at least in VR. I did see changes on the monitor but nothing in the HMD. Any thoughts?

Not sure ReShade works with VR

[zildac]

It works, provided you use the modified version. There's a full thread on the topic here:

ReShade is excellent.

I am using it now for extra sharpening and SMAA, as I disabled DCS MSAA 2x

It is fun playing with the plethora of FX shader/filters.

 

Thanks!

Hey. Can you post your Reshade settings for that? and can you confirm you gain performance doing that?.

Thanks

Hi.

I think I'm the only one who sees red warning line about writing permission.

I tried to give permission to write DCS folder, bin folder etc. etc. but I couldn't do that.

I think I had the same problem back when I ran DCS using an ID that did not have Admin Privilege. With my new computer I run my userID as Admin access all the time because nothing in this world makes sense anymore thanks to the "NEW ABNORMAL" . 

 

Suggestion # 1:   

• Did you also try in \bin Security tab:  Advanced >> Select box for Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries form this object? 

Suggestion # 2:

• Select Allow for: Modify, Read & execute, Write

Suggestion #2

• Worst case:  set bin security to Full control and in Advanced Select box for Replace all child object permission.......

Move the Eagle Dynamics folder out of the programs folder and up one level so it is in the C drive.

I am looking for a good reshade.ini for DCS. Moltar's default in first post is a dead link. Anyone care to share?

You just redownload reshade and go through the reinstall process. It will ask about the update during that process.

@M0ltar I know this is a bit old but I couldnt find another relative thread. Where are the "UPDATE" instructions found? I ask because yesterday I went to update the current based on the information provided in the quote and I installed it in the same manner as I installed the older version and I got to the prompt with 3 options:

Update

Update with new files

Uninstall

Well, not knowing any better, I figured I was UPDATING so why wouldnt I want newer files (makes sense to me), so I updated with newer files and DCS wouldnt load, kept giving me some sort of Shader error.

Tried to uninstall using the same updater and it said it uninstalled but DCS still wouldnt run due to Shader error. Thank goodness i did a system backup prior because I had to do a restore to get it back and running.

 

Thanks for any help.

If it's any good - judge for yourself. You need the VR_CAS-filter for it.

My Preset is very subtle. Mainly sharpening and a bit of de-saturation and contrast. You can turn off the debanding if you don't need it. I use it mainly at night.

Did you manage to get reshade working in VR MT?

 

PS I managed to get it working by simply installing the latest version that supports OpenXR, and running in OpenXR. It does make the game look noticeably better!

I did however encounter a weird effect, where the game crashes if I try to toggle labels. But I have played without labels for a few hours and it otherwise works well.

Is there a way to reshade only part of the screen?

I don't think so - at least not by default. Stand to be corrected though!

 

[Jself]

Should reshade survive a DCS update or do you have to reinstall after each DCS patch?
