Major Changes

  • GShade will now self-disable when the game window is inactive, in order to reduce unnecessary CPU/GPU utilization. This option can be disabled on the Settings tab under the Shaders & Techniques category.
  • Default depth buffer settings for Final Fantasy XIV have been adjusted to accommodate Dawntrail's engine changes.
  • Default depth buffer settings for Firestorm Viewer (Second Life) have been adjusted to accommodate the client's PBR changes.
  • Support for installing to The Sims 4 via the DirectX 11 API has been added to the installer & GShade Control Panel.
    • Please note that as DirectX 11 support is still being evaluated by Electronic Arts on an opt-in basis, The Sims 4 will need to be launched with the -dx11 switch from Steam or the EA App.

Minor Changes

  • Added installation path auto-detection for Alchemy Viewer Beta (Second Life).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue when loading presets with GShade which were created using older versions of the GShade shader collection under ReShade where settings for Layer.fx and StageDepth.fx would be adjusted in error.

Known Issues

  • Automatic depth buffer detection will not function properly under Black Dragon Viewer (Second Life) due to how its PBR changes were implemented.
    • It is still possible to manually select a functional depth buffer by enabling only the DisplayDepth.fx shader on the Home tab and then selecting a valid depth buffer from the Add-ons tab under Generic Depth, but this will likely need to be done on every app launch.
