sorry i kinda got lost on the path of life…
anyway, i just tested this and yeah no windows 7 compat mode or admin rights was needed for reshade
the way to set this up is simply first download reshade from their site here-
install reshade into the game folder as normal
reshade will create a d3d9.dll file in the game folder
rename that reshade d3d9.dll file to ReShade64.dll
then download and extract the content of the following zip into your steam berseria game folder at “\steamapps\common\Tales of Berseria” -
https://mega.nz/file/coAByIbR#ReG4z5k_BB_s4m9i6W_hkgomkqEHY_cyCqltsUsKlFE
(the content of that zip is for adding a local sk/tbfix for this game)
then open up sk’s d3d9.ini, and at the top inside the d3d9.ini add the following lines-
[Import.ReShade64]
Architecture=x64
Filename=ReShade64.dll
Role=ThirdParty
When=Lazy
that should have a local sk load a local reshade. it’s working just fine for me here
you’d basically only need to run this game as admin if you go in the tbfix cp menu (can open this with ctrl + shift + backspace), then go into the “sparse grid supersampling (nvidia)” section and turn that mode on there – that is for nvidia gpu users, and you’ll need to close the game and then launch it as admin to have the sgssaa setting and level applied
so you’d go into the steam game’s folder here-
\steamapps\common\Tales of Berseria
right click on the “Tales of Berseria.exe”
select properties, then go to the compatibility tab/page, then check the box for “run this program as an administrator” and hit apply and ok
then launch the game again from anywhere (from the game icon/shortcut or from the steam client etc). that’ll get the sgssaa applied
however, people just need to do run the game as admin like that once to have the sgssaa applied
after that, i suggest closing the game and unchecking the admin box in the properties of the game’s executable – since it’s no longer needed to run it as admin… and i’ve noticed that some of the colors in the game would get messed up if the game kept being launched as admin. i think that issue didn’t always happen and might have been related to a reshade compatibility too, but then again, running as admin should only be needed once to apply sgssaa if you’re using that anyway
