What's the difference between ReShade and Gshade? I see both being recommended, but I was wondering if there are major differences between the two!
I've not used Gshade but as far as I understand it was created as a fork to the original ReShade as a way to provide a different installer and a way for Final Fantasy players to use shaders when for some reason ReShade wouldn't work (I think I have that right, my apologies if I've misunderstood something).
Sims players moved over to Gshade when an update stopped the depth buffer from working in ReShade. It only stopped working for a little while, but a lot of people had jumped ship at that point and became used to it.
Then there was a big controversy because the person who creates and maintains Gshade put malware inside it. He developed a sort of switch that let him turn off your PC. For some absolutely bizarre reason lots of people still think it's worth giving him the benefit of the doubt now he's said he won't do it again. Their computers, their data, their security, it's up to them, whatever.
So, the main difference is the installer as far as I'm aware. A lot of the shaders are old and outdated for Gshade, and people trying to use old Gshade shaders in ReShade causes no end of headaches.
My advice, stick to ReShade. 99% of shader creators create for ReShade. 99% of people who provide technical assistance do so for ReShade. By all means, if you're dead set on Gshade go ahead and use it, I'm not the boss of you, just it wouldn't be my first choice.
