Guild Wars 2

I just recently had to reformat thanks to Win 10 being difficult. Prior to reformatting I was running MasterFX with zero issues. Tonight I tried to set it up again using the exact method used in WPs video ,but it refuses to work. Reshade will not compile and it freezes my game on the character select screen. I have with 100% certainty set it up correctly ,but am out of ideas on what is causing the issue or how to fix it.

Wooden potatoes guide will NOT work on windows 10. You don’t need the unlocked unless you’re using the depth stuff(which honestly you shouldn’t they’re hideous beyond anything).

I followed a guide attached to a preset. But in your bin you should have

Mastereffect folder
The reshade.32 renamed as d3d9.dll
Reshade.fx
And mastereffect.h

Use notepad cc+ to edit mastereffect. Normal notepad breaks the code for some reason

Make sure at the top of reshade.fx it says #include “mastereffect.h”

Then there’s part of the reshade.fx that tells you what toggle key you want.

Depending it usually says it’ll use master effects toggle, or 0×98.

If you’re like me f9 is a good toggle so change it to 0×78

I believe the code line involves the word bool, you’ll have to locate it.
But basically if it says “use master effect” the actual toggle will be unable to turn on.

Hopefully this helped somewhat

I was 100% running mastereffect + reshade in windows 10 a few days ago. I can’t remember if I did the initial install in 8.1 then upgraded to 10 ,but either way it worked in windows 10. I used WPs guide when I first did this. Can you post this other guide? I am currently just crashing as soon as I boot the game. I get an error message at the character screen and it just boots me out once I close it.

I should add if you upgraded it’s possibly the source corrupted.

you’d need a fresh mastereffect/reshade install

and a fresh GW2 folder (as in just the Exe and the .Dat file, then click the patcher in order to bring back up the other folders/settings)

this is the download tutorial I followed, the instructions are in the text box there.

is the forum thing I found to making the toggle switch work again. this post in particular:

technique MasterEffect < bool enabled = 1; toggle = 0×78; >

I got the same problem after resetting Win 10. The solution is to update DirectX:

Google “DirectX End-User Runtime”
