In today’s issue of Echoes of Eorzea, I will be walking through the ReShade Install Guide and show you how to go about creating some screenshots with various different effects over the top.
My intention with this article is to show you that this tool exists, what it does and how to use it. In other words, I found a tool that has made my screenshots look shinier and I’d like to share what I have learned with you. Following several earlier failed attempts to get this tool working, I decided to try to create a concise guide. I have also included a video to provide more of a visual guide for the install process. Please check the disclaimers at the bottom of this article before you attempt to install ReShade.
This guide is updated as of version 3.1, although the principles of install remain the same from earlier versions.
What is Reshade?
ReShade is an advanced, fully generic post-processing injector for games and video software developed by crosire. Imagine your favorite game with ambient occlusion, real depth of field effects, color correction and more … ReShade exposes an automated and generic way to access both frame color and depth information (latter is automatically disabled during multiplayer to prevent exploitation) and all the tools to make it happen.
In other words, it’s a live post-processing program that will enhance a game’s graphical output by means of an overlay with adjustable parameters.
The guide will cover topics in this order: Introduction, Video Guide, Quick Guide, Full Installation Guide, Basic Image Guide, Updating ReShade, Disclaimers, Bugs & FAQ’s and finally Preset Downloads.
Note: Any install is at your own risk, but please, remember to backup before you do anything!

Step 3 – Installation
Step 4 – Settings
Step 5 – Presets
Step 6 – Installing and downloading premade presets.
Step 7 – Removal/Uninstallation
To remove ReShade, find the screenshot you took in step 2 point 1. Go to the game folder, and simply remove any excess files and folders that were not present in your screenshot.
Step 8 – Back Up
Always back up any presets you make. I have a dedicated folder in Dropbox which I frequently update with my currently ReShade related files. Dropbox is a free online storage solution and can be accessed from multiple devices. Alternatives could be Google Drive or an external HDD.
Basic Image GuideUpdating ReShade
If you wish to update your installation from 3.0 to 3.1, old ReShade install files (not including your presets) must be removed before a new install will work. Please see Step 7 of the article guide for removal advice, then follow the normal install process. Remember, always screenshot or photograph your game directory before you make any changes and backup your files.

Note: If you use self-created presets I would be disinclined to update from 3.0 to 3.1 before asking someone that has 3.1 to test your preset file for you to make sure it works properly. Some of the shader options differ in 3.1 to 3.0 and the filter may not look the same.
Disclaimers
FAQ & BugsWill Using ReShade Get You Banned or Break Your Terms of Service?
To answer this I looked at a number of Reddit posts and forum threads. The most definitive answer I found was from Hvinire of the Square Enix community team:

Obviously, I will echo the words above and state that using ReShade is at your own risk. I have, as yet, had absolutely no problems with running ReShade alongside Final Fantasy XIV; although it did cause a couple of crashes with World of Warcraft.
Does this impact on performance?
Yes, your FPS will drop and the post-processing will put a strain on your graphics card (depending on filters used). I recommend creating a ‘Plain’ config file, which I have explained in the guide. Playing with live effects is not recommended, however, there is a ‘Performance mode’ in the settings. The performance values can be viewed in the statistics tab after install.
For the additional bug mentions I cannot claim credit for all solutions, this has been a combined effort with those in the FFXIV community and the contributors are mentioned below. Should anyone point me in the direction of further bug fixes, or I learn further solutions over time, I will try to keep this section updated.
“I opened the game, created a new preset in the ReShade interface and then none of my settings saved”:
The most likely culprit is that the folder does not have read/write administration rights. Before you start creating an epic preset please check the reference by generating a new preset using the ‘+’ on the ReShade interface in game, toggle one of the shader options on and off. Navigate to your /game folder, and check for a new .ini file which will contain configuration text if successful.
Japanese text DX11 Error:
This error has been cropping up, even with EU/US installs. For some reason unknown to me but likely explained in this Reddit post, the ReShade install busted something with the DX11 file connections. I found one workaround that is imperfect and was passed on another fix by @lcehearted which appeared on Reddit.
My solution: Slower method and requires you to use DX9 if you wish to use ReShade. Black and white direct download torrent free.
Personally, during the creation of this guide, I managed to cause this error by accident during repeated installs/removal of different versions of ReShade. This occurred when trying to use Direc3D 10+ with the DX11 install. So, I just went back to using the Direct3D 9 option again paired with the DX11. If this doesn’t work, pair the DX9 (“game/ffxiv.exe”) with the Direct3D 9 during install and change the launcher settings to launch the DX9 version for the game. This is obviously not ideal but if you’ve tried everything, something is better than nothing!
Reddit: Here is the Reddit discussion thread on this subject where various solutions are discussed. Credit to @lcehearted for forwarding me this link.
Adaptive Fog not working:
This error seems to be network-based and so does not affect everyone in the same way but it is worth a mention either way.
Disclaimer: Some reported the solution below to work with this problem, yet when I tested it, the fix caused my filters to become unstable, so I quickly switched back to default. Solution: Go to settings, and change the preprocessor value for reverse from 1 to 0.

Flickering DoF & MXAO
“If you’re having ReShade problems with DoF and MXAO flickering on and off, replace the dxgi.dll file in your install locations /game folder. Click here to download the file. It’s plucked from Stormshade and works perfectly.” Credit to Lucille for this solution.
“My Folder will not deselect Read-only”:
Some confuse the square icon with the tick icon in the attributes toggle for read/write privileges on the folder. Due to windows hardlinking/file types/NTFS partitions, you are unable to remove this toggle completely. The tick symbolizes that you may not make changes, the square allows some changes within the folder and a blank square allows full modification rights. So, don’t worry too much if you can’t get rid of the square.

As with most bugs, my ‘not being an expert’ title comes into play but If you have a bug or error that I have not encountered or mentioned in this guide then I would suggest visiting Reddit as they often have the solutions to current errors.
“I cannot remove the effect toggle keybindings.”:
Navigate to the specified .ini file and open it. At the top, there will be a list of keys associated with the shaders. Either set the value that is not 0 to 0 or edit out the hotkeys (backup the .ini first before you change anything!). Resolved with Kirsi.
“I have upgraded to ReShade 3.1 from 3.0 and my filters don’t look the same!”:
Some of the shader options for 3.1 have changed so the .ini files do not import properly. As you can see in the screenshot below, the settings for MXAO are more extensive in 3.0 than in 3.1. I would recommend sourcing an earlier version of the MXAO.fx shader and replacing that in your shaders file.
