Reshade 6.0 gets native support for OpenXr

[slughead]

I suggest you go to the reshade discord server for reshade support.

I’d look/ask on the reshade discord server. You’ll get help directly from the developer.

Copy appreciate it.

The settings can toggle for me in single player, but not in multiplayer.  Not a big deal for me as I like it on all the time, but strange the behaviour differs between single and multiplayer.

Toggle doesn't work for me in singleplayer or multiplayer main menu works fine though it's weird man.

I noticed today that FPS is dropping on the servers.When effects are enabled

Same here... saw the posts on the Discord, no one seems interested in answering them.. This was from @Zildac's post, may be part of a solution.. "The effect runtime sync checkbox is present and checked, however there is no "Syncronise effect runtimes" checkbox. As such no matter what you select in the effects nothing is applied to the HMD. "

For me, I do have the "Syncronise effect runtimes" checkbox, and it is ticked. My only question is the resolution options checked off above, my desktop resolution is ticked, is this correct?

I've still had zero joy getting it working on an Aero

[slughead]

I've just swapped from the bin-mt folder to the bin folder in prep for the future removal of the bin-mt folder. So that means I have had to reinstall reshade for the bin folder. It still works for me. I've added more details to my instructions in the link below. If you would like me to try to diagnose your problem, please post a comment with screenshots of each step of the installation process, as I have done, and maybe I can see what you have missed.

Think I found my issue possibly? Is this normal for the addon page while in a multiplayer server?

I copied my existing ReShade config files and reshade-shaders folder from the bin-mt dir to the bin dir.

I just updated the "C:\ProgramData\ReShade\ReShadeApps.ini" file manually to include the new path to DCS vs. doing a reinstall and selecting it.

I suspect the issue is specifically related to the Varjo Base OXR implementation. That second check box never appears.

That’s my hunch too.

I am running Varjo Base 4.3 and I have all the checkboxes.. As has been suggested to me, make some drastic changes in Reshade, enable it so it shows on the 2D screen, then exit the sim. Restart the sim and see if the changes are in VR now..

Interesting, I'm running VB 3.x do the Reshade effects work correctly in your HMD?

No. I did as suggested, set the Reshade sliders over so the screen (flatscreen VR menu view) looked cartoonish. Quit the sim. Restarted the sim. Graphics in VR remain unchanged. Did this in both DCS and IL-2. I am guessing, but I think it has something to do with the "Syncronize effects runtime" window. If you look at the listings under the "Generic Depth" window it shows my flatscreen's 2560x1440 native resolution as being selected. This is listed as #0xxxxxxxxxxx8871370. Then in the "Syncronize effects runtime" it shows #xxxxxxxxxxx85A60 is being synchronized with #000000000018A40. Neither of these two addresses are listed for any of the the resolutions.

I posted this on the Reshade Discord, along with the pic of add-ons settings, maybe someone can offer assistance. I was thinking of disabling my bionic displays, but since you have an Aero with the same issue it's not the problem.

Thanks for the detail! I did post over on the discord a few days back too, but nothing as yet.

Due to the fact I have seen 0 responses from any (successful) Varjo users here, the Varjo or Reshade Discord, or the IL-2 Forum with a solution i'm removing it from my apps and using the OpenXR-API-Layers-GUI app to remove the API for now.. No point in the extra overhead if it's useless to me!

Ok, good news! Using a combination of Reshade 6.31 (with add-ons) and VR Enhancer Mod (VREM) I now have the ability to do what I want with the graphics (getting rid of the damn HAZE is worth it alone!). The sad part is the built-in ReShade effects are still not working... Just go to the link above, follow the instructions, and you Varjo owners may be happy.. To clarify his instructions a bit...

When you install ReShade 6.3.1 w/Add-ons version to the \bin\DCS.exe (it is the same as the \bin-mt exe now) DO NOT select OpenXR, just DX 11/12. DO NOT tick off any extra add-ons, just leave the two ticked defaults alone. Make sure you are starting DCS from the \bin folder's dcs.exe.

After you install the VREM folder (shaderreplace) and file (reshade DCS VREM.addon64) to the same \bin folder (as he lays out), run DCS, hit Home to open ReShade. DO NOT tick/enable any of the OEM ReShade options (like Curves/Vibrance/etc.). All your settings are under DCS VREM

His directions are concise from this point, just want to save any unnecessary grief.

I had issues and he gave me his options.lua to use but I think it was self-inflicted as I originally selected OpenXR and also ticked some ReShade options.. If you use his Options.lua file (don't really need to, just turn off MSAA and possibly bloom to false), read my post to see you need to disable eye-tracking in it..

EDIT: I believe using MSAA (over 2x) will break this mod, so try 2x, nothing or DLAA w/DLSS.. any Anistropic setting is fine..

Good afternoon.Can you tell me if the effects button was made to work on servers?

[KoN]

It's strange, I always fly on servers myself and the button doesn't work.And everyone wrote that it didn't work.What version do you have installed?
