ReShade, developed by crosire, is a versatile post-processing injector for games and video software.

It allows users to enhance their favorite games and videos by adding effects like ambient occlusion, depth of field, color correction, and more.

ReShade provides a way to access frame color and depth information, enabling the creation of various visual enhancements.

It supports multiple graphics APIs, including Direct3D and OpenGL, and requires a Windows computer with .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher.

With its own shading language called ReShade FX, users can write shaders once and have them work across different platforms.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix Reshade not working, crashing, or stopping on FiveM for GTA 5.

You need to have Reshade version 5.8.0 and up for it to work.

You also need to copy and paste certain files into the FiveM Plugins folder.

Lastly, you need to uncheck NUI in-process GPU.
