ReShade Linux

A revamped CLI tool for installing ReShade on Linux for Steam games running via Wine/Proton, comfortably.

Features

• Automatic game detection - Scans Steam libraries for installed games
• PE analysis - Detects executable architecture (32/64-bit) and graphics API (DX9/10/11/12/OpenGL)
• Per-game configuration - Saves settings so you don't re-enter paths
• Shader management - Downloads and merges popular shader repositories
• One-command install - Single script sets up everything

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• git - For cloning shader repositories
• 7z (p7zip) - For extracting ReShade

Arch/Manjaro:

sudo pacman -S python git p7zip

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install python3 python3-venv git p7zip-full

Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3 git p7zip

Installation

git clone https://github.com/nesdeq/reshade.git
cd reshade
./install.sh

This installs to ~/.local/reshade and creates the reshade command.

Usage

reshade

Steam Launch Options

After installing ReShade to a game, add this to Steam launch options:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" %command%

Replace dxgi with the DLL shown after installation (e.g., d3d9 for DX9 games).
