Special K + Reshade

[Sigma993]

Has anyone been able to get reshade to work with the latest Special K?
Game is freezing for me on startup.
Texture mods are properly working for me though.

Yes, I'm using latest Reshade with latest Special K.

I'm loading Special K by dropping the dll(renamed to dinput8.dll) in the game folder with reshade there as well.
[Import.ReShade64]
Architecture=x64
Role=ThirdParty
When=PlugIn
Filename=ReShade64.dll

Edit: Updated import settings.

Oh nice thanks very much!
I was using an older version of Reshade which might have caused compatibility issues!
It's working now with latest reshade.

Hey Kite, thanks for this.
I'm personally unable to get this to work, still.
Where do you drop the code? I tried a few inis individually to no avail. Getting that memory error when starting the game after trying to drop SK's .dll in there renamed to dinput8.dll.

I'm a bit newer to using SK/FAR, only ever used it once before way back on release and recent with Replicant.

I don't know what your memory error would be. First I would install just Special K and get it working without reshade then add in reshade. Both require the 64 bit versions.
Official detailed install instructions can be found here: https://wiki.special-k.info/SpecialK/Custom/FAR

I use the local method of install, there is also the global method.

Hmm, gotcha. Thanks for the reply. Happy gaming!

Role=Unofficial is intended for Kaldaien's (now quite outdated) custom ReShade that shipped with FAR versions from 2018.

I recommend seeing if this works for you instead, and if so use that:

[Import.ReShade64]
Architecture=x64
Role=ThirdParty
When=PlugIn
Filename=ReShade64.dll

Yes, that works. I'll update my original post to that.

I'm gonna leave this here just in case!
This seems to work for everyone I talked to.

I installed far for this before I could not get it to work at first with the new patch
but then I did this and it worked
left my old far files in the game folder with the renamed dll files
then download Special K from here https://discourse.differentk.fyi/
go to my documents/my mods Special K delete this folder and replace with new download one and this got it working for me, with texture mods and reshade I got of nexusmods

from
https://www.nexusmods.com/nierautomata/mods/20

Rename "d3d11.dll" to "dxgi.dll" if your game crashes at startup.

Disable Steam overlay if you have issues.
