Anyone know how to use ReShade on Bannerlord?

[Hetmasteen]

I downloaded the recent ReShade, went through the installation process and applied reshade to Bannerlord.exe file. Starting up the game normally through steam however, doesn't start up reshade. Normally when ReShade runs you get a banner at the top when the game starts. I didn't get that.

Now that is when I click play on Steam. On the other hand, If I got to the directory and open the game directly through Bannerlord.exe. THEN that is when ReShade starts up. The only problem with this is that then I don't have the mods loaded up.

Has anyone got ReShade to run properly? I did rename the dxgi.dll file to d3d11.dll as I heard this helps, but this hasn't helped. Maybe i'm missing out on renaming some other file?

Steam launches the bannerlord launcher, which then runs Bannerlord.exe as a sub process. This is likely messing up reshade.

Try pointing reshade to the launcher.exe (TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe) instead.

I've been running reshade since the start, you have to direct it at the games pre launcher, not the exe. In order to have mods you need to run the launcher.

That's it.

Haven't do it myself but that works for the other poster.

Maybe i'm missing something

You've set reshade to target TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe and are launching it from steam?

Edit: Just tried this myself, and Reshade works as long as I set it up for TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe and then launch from steam.

Yep, tried launching it through Steam and through directory and still not showing. At least before when I applied it to Bannerlord.exe it would run, just no mods.

ReShade is a bit weird when setting it up though as sometimes you have to rename the dxgi.dll file to d3d11.dll. Maybe there's something else I need to rename to for it to start working.

I just set it up for mine, and all that was needed was to browse to TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe and run through the rest of the setup.

Try re-runing reshades setup and directing it towards "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client\TaleWorlds.MountAndBlade.Launcher.exe" or wherever your Bannerlord installation is.

Did exactly everything you said through the directory you typed and still no ReShade notification when starting the game up. Even tried running all exe's with admin privelidges and still nothing. Thanks for trying to help though.

Try this:

Delete the win64-shippingclient folder, all of it.

Revalidate your steam files.

Then try running reshade setup again, don't use vulkan for it.

You might be running into an issue with Reshade's old settings, and this should flush it.

After all that download and verifying, still run into the same issue. Good idea though.

I still think it's probably something to do with renaming one of the files similar to renaming dxgi.dll file to d3d11.dll.

Come to think of it, do you know of a way to enable mods without using launcher? Since the only way I can run ReShade is through the Bannerlord.exe maybe I can find another way to activate the mods.

All I want to do is take pretty pictures

Not sure on that. Really haven't messed with modding much so I'm not familar with the tricks yet.

I DO think there is a "fixed launcher" to help with some mod order issues, that might be a good tree to bark up.

So, for anyone running into this problem (Maybe even the OP if they still haven't figured it out; but I doubt it) - make sure that when you install Reshade to Bannerlords, you use Direct X 10/11/12 -NOT Vulkan (As the internet would have you believe), also make sure that you select the only option in the given list that is Bannerlords.exe (Not Native, No directory paths, just the .exe from the list)

I had mine installed on DirectX, I uninstalled it because Vulkan is supposedly the engine they run and I wanted to change it and it wouldn't work. Changed it back to Direct X and it loaded up first try.
