ReShade and You

Introduction

Picking the right ReShade version can be tricky, but we’re here to help. This guide will show you how to choose the best ReShade version for what you need.

Am I going to play online or offline?

This is an important question because it helps you decide which ReShade version to use. If you’re playing an online game, you should use the add-on version. This version has Network Detection turned off. You can download it from the official ReShade website by scrolling to the bottom and clicking the second button.

Keep in mind that the add-on version isn’t always necessary. If you’re playing a single-player game, the regular ReShade version is fine. You can also download it from the same website, but click the first button this time.

Do I need a special version of ReShade for the game?

Sometimes, you might need a specific ReShade version for a certain game. For example, this version of ReShade is made to work with Dragon’s Dogma 2 along with REFramework.

If you’re playing a single-player game but need an add-on, you can download the ReShade version that supports add-ons from the official website. This version works with almost all add-ons, including those found here.

Where can I get an older version of ReShade?

If you need an older ReShade version, you have a few options. For versions 3.0.0 and earlier:

  1. You can download it directly from the ReShade website: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_x.x.x.exe

  2. For versions 5.0.0 and later, use this link.

Alternative Method

If the version you need isn’t on the website anymore, try the ReShade Repository or this Mega.nz link.

Note

You might need an older ReShade version for some games, like Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I want to play Elden Ring. It’s an online game with EAC. Can I do this?

Yes, you can play Elden Ring with ReShade. The game’s creators allow ReShade, so you can use the add-on version. However, not all games with EAC will work with ReShade. For example, Lords of the Fallen won’t start with any ReShade version, and you’ll need to turn off EAC to use it. If you do turn off EAC, use the add-on version of ReShade.
