Title: Reshade OpenGL graphics enhancer
Post by: EVO on February 22, 2016, 11:02:04 PM
Has anyone tried Reshade? It doesnt work, but maybe i did something wrong. Reshade is like ENB series but for OpenGL games. Adds things like HDR and motion blur. I have a pretty low end PC so maybe that is the problem. Anyone else like to test? here is the link  http://reshade.me/

Very Nice! I fiddled around some and got it working. Just had to be careful of what was enabled. Ambient Occ. KILLED my framerate. This is with maybe 5 effects on.

I went overboard but I like the effect as far as what it would look like wearing a racing helmet. It can all be modified. There's also motion blur.

Hmm. Idk. I ended up just using the Mediator injector that came with it. Once I pointed it to the KRP exe and selected what I wanted from Pipeline it added those particular libraries. I also used the "Permanent Push To Application" method to make it more stable.

You can test it by using that Mediator but not selecting any effects from the "Pipeline". Even with nothing selected you should see the ReShade notification in upper left corner of the game when it launches.

It's possible that if you didn't use the Mediator.exe to select specific things that it's not actually ON. If you're doing it manually you might need to read over the instructions for the manual process.

Some more tweaking. The DoF effect only really kicks in if you look down at your steering wheel, then it blurs background but on the default racer view it doesn't blur too much.

That's what my directory looks like. I kept the reshade download folder on my desktop and  used the mediator.exe to put it all into the proper game directory.

Found the line in the log that identifies the problem."Your graphics card does not seem to support OpenGL 4.3. Initialization failed." As expected. I'll try to update my graphics card driver. 

EDIT** Just did the AMD ATI driver autodetect going to need a new PC (this one is only four years old) to run these enhancements  OR  maybe there is an older version of the program that supports older openGL versions.  Could you post some more screenshots maybe a video  :o
