Releases: Kaldaien/UnX
"Untitled" Project X - v 0.9.1
Enhanced Custom ReShade and Texture Reload Support
ReShade injection triggering has been added.
This is an advanced new feature of Special K that allows you to trigger ReShade post-processing before a game renders its UI.
- The mod ships with a preset:
d3d11_shaders.inithat defines when the game begins rendering the UI. If for some crazy reason you actually want ReShade to mess with the game's UI, you can restore that behavior by deletingd3d11_shaders.ini
Texture reload support has been added for texture modders.
- This allows you to edit an already injected texture, and see your changes immediately without restarting the game.
Conditions for use:
- Resolution of injected texture cannot change
- Format of injected texture cannot change
You are still free to change the resolution of a texture using injection, but you cannot reload a higher or lower resolution version than was injected into the game at startup. In other words, if you need to change a texture's resolution, you must restart the game.
- Various thread safety issues have been addressed in ReShade and may reduce crash issues for some users.
0.9.1.1 addresses ABI changes in Special K DLL that were causing input issues for many people.
0.9.1.2 adds option to disable FFX speedhack cheats for enhanced stability with some system configs
0.9.1.3 fixes gamepad button bindings
0.9.1.4 fixes texture injection using old hash algorithm
0.9.1.5 fixes gamepad texture injection
0.9.1.8 fixes Steam overlay deadlocks
0.9.1.9 fixes gamepad -> PC bindings

Error Reporting
Where are my logs?
If the game crashes, all logs will be moved to logs/crash/<timestamp>/... for safekeeping.
The normal logging behavior is to overwrite existing logs, which would always clear any crash log the next time you started the game in older versions.
No, really, where are they?
Click File | Browse Logs from the in-game config UI ;)
Compatibility Menu
Hold Ctrl + Shift at Application Start
This menu allows you to perform various maintenance tasks such as completely resetting your config.
Most of the options are irrelevant to this project and you should ignore all but the
"Reset Config"button.
Widgets
What's that floating graph in the bottom-right?
This is the framepacing widget, it measures how smoothly the game is rendering; flatter/greener graphs being ideal.
You will never get this graph completely flat in this game. It has a lot of multi-threading problems. But the graph is still somewhat useful when trying to adjust graphics options for best performance.
Disabling Widgets
Open the config UI and select Widgets, then uncheck the name of the widget.
Customizing Widgets
Open the config UI, then move your mouse cursor over the widget and right click to access a config menu.
The texture cache widget does not have this menu, but can still be moved.

ReShade
UnX v 0.9.0 comes bundled with a custom version of ReShade that supports keyboard and gamepad input.
This is the preferred version of ReShade; I have stripped away parts that cause most compatibility issues and will do my best to ensure this version works.
The custom version has a few key differences:
- All assets are loaded from
ReShade\TexturesandReShade\Shaders - Each game (i.e. FFX.exe or FFX-2.exe) gets its own preset ini file in
ReShade\<exename.ini> - All ReShade input processing has been removed, thus there is no "Block Input" option
This is fully integrated with my UI and behaves like any other window, where Ctrl + Tab or Square + L1 or X + LB cycles through active windows.
Remaining Odds and Ends
I have not explained how to get G-Sync or Fullscreen Exclusive mode working in the initial release notes. I need more time to document this stuff, but would be happy to explain it on the Steam forums. Likewise, texture modders should direct any questions about the new D3D11 Render Mod Toolkit to me in the Special K group on Steam.
Source code will be released later this week
I have three different repositories to update (one of which is on GitLab rather than GitHub). Most of these changes are already in my ReShade fork on GitHub and Special K repo on GitLab.
v 0.9.0.4 is attempt #2 at releasing 0.9.x 😄
This fixes shadows on player characters and can correctly deal with textures whose format was changed
BC7 texture compression is supported now!
v 0.9.0.5 adds Steam Overlay protection
No longer attempts to cache textures created by the Steam Overlay
Also corrects a few multi-threading issues with texture injection
v 0.9.0.6 fixes texture cache tagging for textures with altered numbers of mipamps
Will improve load-time performance and reduce VRAM consumption
May fix some systems that crash during texture load due to insufficient VRAM
