Using Special K with Reshade/GShade?

[EL Darius]

I succeeded in combining Special K and GShade in Automata, but Replicant's Special K seems to work differently, i.e. as a local injection (I use global injection for Automata).

So I can't make the two mods work together in Replicant, whenever I install GShade/Reshade, the dxgi.dll file (Special K file) gets rewritten by the Gshade file - so GShade works but Special K is no more.

I know about the way of using Reshade as a plugin for Special K, however, I keep getting some error, the techniques list doesn't load and my gamepad stops working for some reason. Fixing it by disabling steam input, as the wiki suggests, doesn't work for me because it makes the gamepad buggy, i.e. one button is always pressed.

Anyone here successfully using Special K and Reshade/GShade with Replicant?

I tried it again and did exactly as the mod page instructs, except that I used an older version of Special K because it's the only Special K dll that makes my gamepad work with Special K.
This time, I changed the dxgi.ini parameters as the mod page instructs, and Reshade successfully loaded.
However, my gamepad is screwed again :( I mean it's not responding at all. Why the hell...

Have you tried disabling Steam input to Nier?

Yep I mentioned it in the first post, if I turn off Steam input, the controller works but my bottom left trigger is stuck pressed and that's the problem. No idea why. It's a Defender Omega controller.
Well in fact I could unbind the bottom left trigger (bound to Block by default). Only Nier has this issue for me anyway. It's just that I installed 3dmigoto with a shader mod + GShade the other day, this looks very nice and I can't see much difference in fps when using Special K.
