I'm having issues with ReShade and game refuses to start. Does it require Bitraider?

[TheRandomWolf]

So... for a while now I've been trying to get reshade to work. I did everything right and the game simply refuses to open after it's installed. The few people I talked that had it working mentioned that they still had their Bitraider. I got rid of it in 2016 as it was causing major issues with my game. I don't recall what sort of issues, but I haven't been needing that program ever since.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

 

• I download the ReShade from the website and selected swtor.exe.
  
• I clicked yes and accepted installing all sort of files it provided.
  
• I got a preset from the site and added the files.
  
• I opened the launcher, logged in and clicked PLAY.
  
• The game refuses to open and is nowhere to be seen in the Task Manager.
  

 

 

I've spent a few hours googling and found nothing similar to this issue. I even tried reddit to find an answer, and nothing. Ugh...

I have been able to use it with Bitraider. I had a similar issue come up recently. If you're on Windows 10 and have version 1809, you need to install ReShade with the Direct3D 10+ option for some reason.

That's one hell of a necro, but I'll look into it. Thanks!
