Welcome to the ReShade_advancedfx wiki!

About

ReShade_advancedfx is an addon for ReShade to connect HLAE baseFx mirv_streams to ReShade.

Advantages:

  • better depth buffer and detection, based on the HLAE mirv_streams one
  • effects are applied before the HUD would be drawn
  • allows to limit ReShade to a specific stream and recording that stream as usual with mirv_streams

Problems:

  • HLAE depth buffer is itself not perfect, so e.g. smokes are problematic just like with HLAE itself
  • Currently MSAA still needs to be disabled in CS:GO video options

Requirements

This guide currently assumes you are already familiar with HLAE mirv_streams and ReShade with HLAE a bit.

Usage

Initial installation and setup
