I’m not knowledgeable enough to fully understand what’s possible yet, and I very much doubt I’ll ever be in a position myself to create any add-ons, but over the next few months I expect lots of fun things will be happening and I’ll try to keep myself abreast of it in case any of it is useful for TS4. But eventually people will be producing all sorts of add-on modules that can tap directly into the game engine and do some cool stuff, like replacing game textures, etc. For the moment, you don’t need to worry about that. What’s particularly exciting about 5.0 is it now incorporates an Add-Ons system. If you’re using a preset by some absolute awkward weirdo like me, there are probably still going to be extra steps because I add in extra shaders and so forth, but it’s a cool new feature nevertheless.

The installer has been redesigned to be more familiar, and what’s especially interesting is you can choose a specific preset when installing and it will attempt to work out which packs you need to download for that preset to work. The biggest change end users need to worry about at the moment is to the installation process. If you’re having problems, revert to 4.9.1 - this is why we make backups.Īs always, MAKE BACKUPS of your current installation, along with all your current shaders and dll and ini files, keep them labelled with the version number, just in case you want to revert with minimal pain. They don’t know why, and don’t know if it’ll be fixed. I asked over at the ReShade discord and they know the new version works strangely with TS4. * I’ve had some reports that in-game shadows are broken with 5.0.2. It’s safe to update, your presets should all still work.

ReShade 5.0 has been released, after 467 years of production (or so it seems).
