📋 About This Mod
How does it work?
By default MHW no longer loads the required reshade files from the game folder and uses system files instead. It has been like this for a long time now, probably since iceborne dropped. So for my own reshade preset I came up with a way to easily hook reshade by modifying amd_ags_x64.dll, found in the game folder, to also load the reshade dll file. While my preset has been around on nexusmods for a few years now I never actually shared a standalone version for this, until now. Have fun creating your own presets or downloading one, mine can be found here: Sildur's Enhanced MHW
Installation:
1. Download Reshade: https://reshade.me/#download
2. Run the setup and select MHW and directx 10/11/12.
3. Go in to your game folder and rename dxgi.dll to ReShade.dll
4. Create a backup of your existing amd_ags_x64.dll file and drop the modified version from this mod in to your game folder.
5. That's it, reshade should now be hooked by the game in both dx11 and dx12 mode.
1. Delete the modified amd_ags_x64.dll file and restore your backup.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated January 2024, so it might not work with future game updates

For Monster Hunter: World players who want to use ReShade but find the default hooking process fiddly. If you're a modder who already knows how to hook ReShade manually, you might not need this, but it's a time-saver for everyone else.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original amd_ags_x64.dll before replacing it, so you can restore it if needed.
- If you're using other mods that also replace this DLL, check for conflicts and merge them if possible.
- Test ReShade in the game's menu first to ensure the hook works before diving into gameplay.
