I'm on Win7, did the Win10 upgrade but the new driver certification system borks my SLI, so went back to Win7. When I tested games etc, my current installation directory was on a separate drive, so I just plug and played. AFAIK, the only thing that might need be done is be sure full update of June 2010 DX9 websetup to get d3d9_43.dll in system files and be sure UAC is not blocking the .dll (right click>properties>first tab>if it were blocked, there'd be a button saying "unblock".
I'll clean up my reshade+sweetfx and upload for sharing.
Uploaded. This will not work for those with legacy hardware (DX9) because I can't find the proper version to put d3d9.dll to match ReShade version. This is a mix and match. Currently configured for high glare (think JJ Abrams) and color enhancement. Adjust settings in "MasterEffect.h". Extract contents of zip file directly into Saints Row directory, where the "SaintsRow.exe" resides.
If you are on Win10, or have UAC turned on, right click "dxgi.dll" and be sure it is not "blocked". High settings on HIPS may also interfere with dlls like this, add an exclusion to your HIPS rules, adding the folder.
