Installing ReShade on MS Store version of the MSFS2020 via "ReshadeForUWP" program by MilkyDeveloper

Ok, not NVM^^

Im still fiddling around. It only works the one time i start the bat as non-admin. Every other following start doesnt inject it anymore.

Also Reshade itself, i have to open the app twice to have the entry shown. What can that be? This is a 100% thing. After a PC restart, the first time i open Reshade the MSFS:Appname entry will never show. Closing RS, and reopen and it shows.

I guess this may somehow corelated with the issue of no inject.

Hi, I just tried to install ReShade using UWP.
But when I launch the .bat file for the first time (without admin rights) I get this error.

Does someone know how I can solve this?

Sincerely,

Erik

Hi,

What about launch de .bat file with admin rights? Does it work?

It seems like reshade can’t access the depth buffer so rtgi doesn’t work. Do any of you know a fix for this?

edit: rtgi not works but most of the effects are not working

I am having the same exact problem as ErikDutchyS, I tried to run the .bat as admin and the same error occurred. It had been working previously.

Hi, i try but how can update the version of reshade?

Bottom of page:
“To update the ReShade version, just download the installer from reshade.me. Open the installer with WinRar then copy and replace the ReShade64.dll with the new one.”

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem haha

I have the same problem…

I tried to get reshade working, for my MS Store version, it did work to some extent, BUT only a quarter of the fx shaders worked, citing “preprocessor error, unable to generate FX shader files”. I have no idea why some work but others don’t.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Great, now the game wont start and ms store and xbox app, please help

Hello, I have solved the problem now. I reinstalled the game twice because of the flash back problem, but it still didn’t work. Finally, I learned that reshade can only be run in DX11 mode, while I have been running in DX12 mode before, which led to flash back, so please ensure that game mode has been switched to DX11 when starting.

I just had this same problem.
Turns out it was my Anti-Virus that disabled the Flightsim.exe file from accessing the net.
(Happened after i tried downloading/running the Reshade that it found to be corrupt…or so it thought so)
Re-Enabled the Flightsim.exe file in my Firewall and its all good now.

I didnt get past right-clicking ReShareForUWP and running as administrator. the window never opened?

I cant get this to work. In step 1 i right click on ReshadeForUWP and i wait a long time and nothing happens. I waited 30 mins and still nothing.

Installed as instructed, started via .bat, reshade unable to compile most shaders including lumisharpen. any ideas?

It used to work like a charm. Then suddenly when I want to start the game via .bat it just crashes. FlightSImulator.exe starts but then suddenly crashes for no reason.
Already tried to uninstall Reshade and install again but nothing happens.
(btw in order to uninstall UWP reshade u just need to delete folder from “C:\Users\Username\ReshadeInjectUWP” right ? ).

Thanks this worked. How to update the effects? are there newerUWP packages to use for this?
i.e. Adaptivefog.fx, areacopy.fx etc., as most presets asks for effects to compile which are missing in this outdated 4.9.1. version… thanks

Hey there. I’m experiencing the same problem as Falco. FS starts as usual with the boothelper, then switches to the main game screen, at which point it stays at a black window for a few seconds and then just closes. Any idea why this could happen? Some sort of version problem?

It seems ReShade has native support now, I followed these instructions and so far so good.
