FeedKit v1.4.0 - built-in updater, OpenGL, D3D9 fixes

v1.4.0 - built-in updater + OpenGL

New: built-in updater

FeedKit now checks GitHub for a newer release when it starts. When one exists, an "Update to vX.Y.Z" button appears next to the version label - one click downloads the new build, verifies its SHA-256 against the hash published in the release notes, swaps it in place of the running exe (via a safe rename), and offers to restart immediately.

New: OpenGL support

New "OpenGL game" checkbox - ReShade installs as opengl32.dll and the full DLSS5-Feeder stack follows (the Feeder handles GL-to-D3D12 interop internally). 64-bit and 32-bit OpenGL games supported.

Fixed

• D3D9 installs on Source engine games (Portal 2, Codename CURE, etc.): the installer now populates both the game folder and bin\ (hardlinks, no extra disk space), since Source engines resolve d3d9.dll from bin\ while ReShade's dxgi.dll loads from the game folder. Previously one of the two was always missing.
• Downloads that fail with HTTP 403/404 now offer to continue with the previously downloaded cached copy instead of aborting, and a failed download can no longer destroy a cached file.
• DLSS5-Feeder moved its release assets into a single zip - FeedKit handles the new packaging (and the old loose-file layout as fallback).

Reminder

Single-player only (ReShade add-ons can trip anti-cheat). First install downloads ~230 MB from upstream.

FeedKit v1.3.1 - D3D9 fix for Source engine games

v1.3.1 - D3D9 fix for Source engine games (Portal 2, Codename CURE, etc.)

Fixes D3D9 installs on engines that load their renderer DLLs from a subfolder (Source engine games: bin\).

What was wrong: Source engines resolve d3d9.dll from bin\ via an altered DLL search path (the game folder is skipped), while the dxgi.dll that ReShade needs is pulled through the standard search, which finds the game folder first and skips bin\. A single-location install could therefore load dgVoodoo but never ReShade - or the reverse.

The fix: D3D9 installs now populate both the game folder and bin\ (the bin\ copies are hardlinks - no extra disk space), so whichever resolution order the engine uses finds the full stack. Verified working on Portal 2 and Codename CURE (Source, 32-bit D3D9) and TrackMania Nations Forever (native D3D9).

Also includes (since v1.2.0)

• OpenGL support - new checkbox, ReShade installs as opengl32.dll; the Feeder handles GL-to-D3D12 interop. The game must run on the NVIDIA GPU (hybrid graphics: force it in Windows Settings > Display > Graphics).
• Standard ReShade shader headers (ReShade.fxh etc.) installed automatically.
• Effect/texture search paths fully enforced (fixes ReShade Setup 6.8's malformed **\** globs and the runtime .\ default that left the effects list empty).
• Fixed failed half-installs making follow-up installs silently skip ReShade.

Reminder

Single-player only (ReShade add-ons can trip anti-cheat). First install downloads ~230 MB from upstream.

FeedKit v1.3.0 - OpenGL support

v1.3.0 - OpenGL support

FeedKit now covers OpenGL games. Tick the new "OpenGL game - install ReShade as opengl32.dll" option (mutually exclusive with the D3D9 option) and FeedKit installs ReShade as a local opengl32.dll plus the full DLSS5-Feeder stack - the Feeder handles the OpenGL-to-D3D12 interop internally.

• 64-bit and 32-bit OpenGL games supported (32-bit uses the host64\ sidecar flow).
• Requires the game to run on the NVIDIA GPU - OpenGL interop needs it. On hybrid graphics (laptops), force the game onto the NVIDIA GPU via Windows Settings > Display > Graphics, otherwise the feed disables itself.

Also fixed in this release

• The ReShade setup step is now skipped/attempted based on the actual proxy DLL (dxgi.dll / opengl32.dll) being present, so failed half-installs no longer make follow-up installs silently skip ReShade.
• Effect/texture search paths are fully enforced: malformed **\** globs from ReShade Setup 6.8 (error 123) and ReShade's runtime default (.\, empty effects list) are both corrected automatically, with the originals recorded for uninstall.

Reminder

Single-player only (ReShade add-ons can trip anti-cheat). First install downloads ~230 MB from upstream.

FeedKit v1.2.0 - D3D9 support

v1.2.0 - D3D9 support

FeedKit now covers Direct3D 9 games end to end. Tick the new "D3D9 game - install the dgVoodoo2 translation" option and FeedKit:

• installs the latest dgVoodoo2 release (fetched fresh from GitHub) as the D3D9 -> D3D11 translation layer,
• pre-configures it for DLSS5-Feeder (OutputAPI=d3d11_fl11_0, VideoCard=internal3D, VRAM=1024, pass-through disabled),
• handles engines that resolve their renderer DLLs from subfolders (Source engine games like Portal 2 / Codename CURE get the full stack mirrored into bin\ via hardlinks), and
• keeps uninstall clean: dgVoodoo files and every config change are recorded and reverted.

Native D3D10/11/12 and Vulkan flows are unchanged. Verified working on TrackMania Nations Forever (native D3D9), Codename CURE and Portal 2 (Source D3D9, 32-bit).

Also in this build (since v1.1.3)

• Standard ReShade shader headers (ReShade.fxh etc.) are installed automatically - fixes "could not open included file 'ReShade.fxh'".
• Effect/texture search paths are now fully enforced - fixes both the malformed **\** paths ReShade Setup 6.8 writes (error 123, "no effect files found") and ReShade's runtime default (.\) overwriting them, which left the effects list empty.
• Fixes install records not loading on uninstall ("no FeedKit install record found").
• Handles games where ReShade installs into a subfolder instead of next to the exe.

Reminder

Single-player only (ReShade add-ons can trip anti-cheat). First install downloads ~230 MB from upstream. After installing on D3D9 games, the dgVoodoo watermark in a corner confirms the translation is active.
