Minor Changes

• All remaining changes from ReShade version 6.2.0 have been added.
  • https://reshade.me/releases
• The bundled DXVK build has been updated to version 2.4.0.
• Added support for DirectX 8 games via DXVK 2.4.0 now that D8VK has been merged into the project.
• Added an Update Shaders button to the Installations tab of the GShade Control Panel.
  • This button allows the updating of the iMMERSE, METEOR, and SHADERDECK shader collections without having to reinstall GShade.
• An option to add GShade-related paths to the Windows Defender exclusion list has been added during install to hopefully mitigate issues with screenshot, preset, and configuration file saving once and for all.
  • This has unfortunately become fairly common necessity in the free software community due to ever-increasingly paranoid antivirus products. Another very common piece of common software which also uses this method is the popular Mod Manager 2 for Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
  • This setting will only be enabled if the installer is manually run with the setting checked/enabled on the options step. Upgrades performed through the GShade Control Panel or in-game overlay will not turn this feature on automatically.
• Added files named _README_DO_NOT_ADD_EDIT_OR_REPLACE_FILES_HERE_.txt to various GShade-related folders directing to the proper location to add non-included shaders & textures:
  • %Public%\GShade Custom Shaders\ which typically expands to: ?:\Users\Public\GShade Custom Shaders\

UI Changes

• Added the currently installed GShade version number to the Home page of the GShade Control Panel.
• Cleaned up some text clipping issues on the Support page of the GShade Control Panel.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crashing issue which could occasionally occur when attempting to reset uniforms using the ui_bind annotation.
• Fixed an issue which could occasionally cause game-specific settings to not be saved when updating or installing on top of an existing GShade installation.
• Fixed an uncommon log file writing issue in the GShade Control Panel.

Known Issues

• Automatic depth buffer detection will not function properly under Black Dragon Viewer (Second Life) due to how its PBR changes were implemented.
  • It is still possible to manually select a functional depth buffer by enabling only the DisplayDepth.fx shader on the Home tab and then selecting a valid depth buffer from the Add-ons tab under Generic Depth, but this will likely need to be done on every app launch.
