I started by wanting to know which Reshade shaders work with vkbasalt.
Let me define 'work'. If vkmark completed and the screen was not black they are classed as working.
I tested all the shaders, which can be installed with the reshade application (bar the 'legacy' ones), both with depthCapture = off and depthCapture = on
As I wanted them all in one folder I had to rename custom ReShade.fxh's and edit the shaders concerned in a few cases.
One shader name clashed and was renamed Fubax_Cursor.fx
vkmark was used to test the shaders.
vkmark -p immediate -b :duration=1
All shaders were tested using the default settings within each shader.
The performance figures were just something I thought I might as well note whilst doing this.
While they may give an indication as to which shaders have more of a hit than others in the real world you probably won't see performance drops like below. For example I use vkBasalt with 6 shaders (LiftGammaGain.fx,Vibrance.fx,Tonemap.fx,Vignette.fx,Curves.fx & LumaSharpen.fx),with RDR2, and see hardly any performance hit at all. About 1-2%.
The main point to this is just the list of working shaders. I accept my methodology probably sucks :)
| Shader | Problem | Fix |

| AdaptiveFog.fx | Blackscreen | link Reshade.fxh to ReShade.fxh |
| Cursor.fx | Crash vkmark | link Textures/cursor.png to Textures/Cursor.png |
| MultiLUT.fx | Crash vkmark | link Textures/MultiLut_Atlas1.png to Textures/MultiLut_atlas1.png |

Where it is multiple techniques preventing a shader from working it may be possible to delete uneeded techniques, create seperate versions of the shaders with diferent names etc.
I couldn't find an instance where depthCapture = on made a shader work when it didn't with depthCapture = off.
I did mean to turn off vkBasalts logging but forgot until to late, debug logging on in all tests shown, so there you have it.
