This guide is made to be as easy as possible to follow and not loose anything of what GShade was doing. If anything doesn't work, feel free to make a report, I'll update it as best as I can.1. Get this zip, it's the shaders and presets coming with gshade:
https://mega.nz/file/E3hRiK5D#O5DR9S7E32vYzhHRSjQgiJdcBJyeJTBeuFpfhikwoV02. Go into your game folder
default install paths:C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIV Online\game
for steam
If you use some presets you made or added some not included in GShade install, copy your
gshade-presets
folder.
Remove anything containing "GShade", the files dxgi and d3d11 if present.
3. Uninstall GShade
4. Install ReShade (add-on support needed if you want to correct an issue with UI, see "known issues" at the end of the guide) here:
http://static.reshade.me/#downloadat "Select game or application" use "Browse" and find ffxiv_dx11.exe in your game folder
Leave everything else as it is and just hit "next" until it's finished.
5. In your game folder, you should have now a
reshade-presets
and
reshade-shaders
folders,
delete them if presentAdd the folders from the zip in your game folder.
Paste the presets you saved before if any in
reshade-presets
.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972670634880561155/1072895721356923033/shaders.gif6. Launch the game, open reshade (default key is Home), do the tuto and go in settings, set a overlay key if you want (first option) then change the rest like this gif:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/972670634880561155/1072726946305294386/config.gif- You should have two paths for "Effect search paths"
.\reshade-shaders\Shaders
.\reshade-shaders\ComputeShaders
- And for "Texture search paths":
.\reshade-shaders\Textures
7. Relaunch the game, enjoy.
Note: the "ColorSort.fx" shaders has been removed since it made my PC crash when I tried it.
Feel free to say any issue you have with this guide, I tested some presets, everything seem fine, but I didn't test every shaders.
