How to fix ReShade with Special K (Not Loading Shaders)
So after the update my ReShade wouldn't load Shaders so I did some digging and figured it out. I also tried to help out other community member and my instructions worked for him also so he told me to make this "guide" public soo here it is.

1. From your Monster Hunter folder delete all Special K and ReShade files (SpecialK64.pdb, ReShade.ini, kaldaien_api64.dll, dxgi.ini, dxgi.dll, Version folder, reshade-shaders folder).

2. Install Official ReShade for Monster Hunter
( If you don't know what I mean just open this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tznj5G9zpiU and watch from 3:46 to 4:24, remember to choose Shaders that you want to use).

3. Run the game to check if ReShade is working.

4. Create a folder for reshade files on your desktop

5. Open your Monster Hunter folder and move the ReShade files to the folder you created (dxgi.ini, dxgi.dll and other).

6. Download the Special K without custom ReShade files (https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/download/sk_special_projects/SK_MHW_ReShade.7z).

7. Place all the files from Special K into your Monster Hunter folder.

8. Run the game, check if the Special K menu is working.

9. Go to Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\PlugIns\ThirdParty and create a folder named "ReShade" there.

10. Move the files from your ReShade folder from desktop to ReShade folder in Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\PlugIns\ThirdParty.

11. In the same folder rename the dxgi.dll to ReShade64.dll (and dgxi.ini to ReShade.ini if not already renamed).

12. Open your game, open the Special K menu, go to Plug-Ins --> Third-Party and check the box for ReShade (Official) and then close the game.

13. Run the game again and now you should be able to open the ReShade menu. However nothing may appear there.
If so go to the settings tab and there should be two lines "Effect Search Paths" and "Texture Search Paths".

14. Now open your Monster Hunter folder and there should be reshade-shaders folder, open it and select the path for Shaders and Textures and paste them into the lines mentioned step above.

15. Now click Reload button in ReShade and your Shaders should appear.
