start guide update 2024: for ReShade version 6.2.0
Install: Download ReShade_Setup_6.2.0 Download a new version of Alien1979 that I have inserted.
1. run ReShade_Setup_6.2.0.exe and locate the AI.exe in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder. Where you installed the game. Select DirX 10-11-12, turn on: Standard (is already activated) + SweetFX from C + Legacy Effects. Install. (Skip tutorial (switch on) if possible. I am not sure if this function still exists.) Done.
A standard reshade shader folder and a reshade-presets.ini are created (among others) in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder.
2. select an Alien1979 version and paste the entire content (reshade-shaders folder and a reshade-presets.ini) into the Alien Isolation Game folder. Confirm the overwriting of the standard files.
That's it already. As soon as you start the game, a small text will appear at the top (ignore) and the reshade will start automatically.
Optional: To change the ReShade version I, II, III or IV, simply use the corresponding ReShadePreset. The reshade-shaders folder is the same for all.
Optional: The intro videos can be removed if necessary. Simply secure somewhere else.
start guide update 2: for ReShade version 4.5.4. Only for old files (4.5.4 no longer available) I have added a version of ReShade_Setup_4.5.4 to the downloads Tested it and it worked.
start guide update: for ReShade version 4.5.4. - 4.9
This file was originally created for ReShade_Setup_4.5.4. and "Legacy standard effects" were not necessary. A lot has changed with the ReShade update. Unfortunately the author is making changes that are no longer compatible with older ReShade presets. This also applies to other games and authors.
(4.7. - 4.9.1. Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.) (4.9.1. Attention: Rename my "DefaultPreset.ini" to "ReShadePreset.ini" or start my "DefaultPreset.ini" manually in the ReShade menu!)
Alien Isolation in the style of Ridley Scott's film from 1979 Suitable for Alien hardcore fans.
Image noise description: Image noise is the deterioration of a digital or electronically recorded image due to interference that has no relation to the actual image content, the image signal. The disturbing pixels differ in color and brightness from those of the actual image.
ReShade supports all of Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10, Direct3D 11, Direct3D 12 and OpenGL. A computer with Windows 7 SP1, 8.1 or 10 and the DirectX end-user runtime installed is required. (Probably not compatible with MotherVR.0.8.0)

In general: Save your original files. For example: copying. Always install as administrator. (System dependent)
Install if necessary: NET Framework 4.8 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-web-installer
Install: ReShade https://reshade.me/ Run setup tool, Follow instructions, Select a game: - with the AI.exe in the program folder: C:\ ... \Alien Isolation\ ... (exe is located) - for Alien Isolation with Direct3D 10/11/12
Follow 1st or 2nd. !!!
This file was created for ReShade version 4.5.4. 1. ReShade 4.5.4 install: full content, works perfectly (Since everything works well with ReShade 4.5.4, an update to ReShade 4.7 is not absolutely necessary!)
Instructions for version 4.6./4.7 2. ReShade 4.6./4.7 NEW ATTENTION !: Select effect packages to install: 2.1. Standard effect is already switched on 2.2. Legacy standard effects (only select this when using old presents) on Everything else off! Ok. 2.3. Select legacy standard effects: all on! Ok. https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1310/images/11/11-1588070213-1210831297.png This is important, otherwise AD1979 will not work properly !
3. Before you close the setup tool, switch on "Skip tutorial" and "Performance Mode". Then everything should start automatically. Close setup tool
4. Install AD1979: - Insert one of the AD... ReShade file (DefaultPreset.ini) in the program folder: C:\ ... \Alien Isolation\DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located)
5. Start Game: ReShade starts automatically the first time (screen info above left) and should take over AD (DefaultPreset.ini) completely and after a short loading time. Depending on the system, this is very quick and can lead to short stuttering. My in-game settings are at full capacity
I ask for a short feedback, should a new ReShade update cause problems with AD1979. I try to update in a timely manner. thank you

I thought i might try this but have very little experience with presets and how to use them and feel a bit confused. I followed your instructions to install mod, external reshade etc, was confused at the package window so ticked all boxes to install except legacy. It appears to work in the sense the interface loads with the game and FN+Home allows me to bring up the interface where i can tick all sorts of boxes for all sorts of strange effects. But the expected automatic change i assumed would run in game isnt happening, im not seeing any changes to my game at all its still Vanilla in every way. From what i gather reading these posts it should automaticallty work and apply effects?
As im quite competent modding games generally what am i doing/ have i done incorrectly? Im sure its an end user error but as i said my reshade knowledge is very limited so I would appreciate anyone's help.
A lot has changed with the ReShade update. (ReShade_Setup_4.9.1). (Unfortunately the author is making changes that are no longer compatible with older ReShades.) For example, the original DefaultPreset.ini was renamed ReShadePreset.ini in the new ReShade.
"Alien Domination exchanges the original, still empty DefaultPreset.ini with the DefaultPreset.ini that I edited and was started automatically in the old ReShade version at that time. This file was originally created for ReShade_Setup_4.5.4. and "Legacy standard effects" were not necessary."
Try this:
Option 1 Old: with the old ReShade_Setup_4.5.4 / tested! Or: with the old ReShade_Setup_4.7.0 / tested! (Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.) ReShade will start the original DefaultPreset.ini automatically. If not: open the menu with Pos1 and look for the inserted new DefaultPreset.ini in the upper selection field C: \ ... \ Alien Isolation \ DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located) Accept DefaultPreset.ini.
Option 2 New: with ReShade_Setup_4.9.1 / not tested! (Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.) ReShade tries to start the original ReShadePreset.ini automatically. Since this is still empty, open the menu with Pos1 and look for the inserted new DefaultPreset.ini in the selection field above C: \ ... \ Alien Isolation \ DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located) Accept DefaultPreset.ini. Or: rename (before exchanging the Ini file) the Alien Domination Ini file: DefaultPreset.ini in ReShadePreset.ini. So it should be reloaded automatically.
Once I understand exactly what you have said [which will take a few reads as I dont currently lol] and can apply it I will for sure let you know if it works. Maybe im just dumb though i went to Oxford so I hope not it would have been easier I think if you had listed steps like 1,2,3 to do etc. For me once I grasp a concept everything else is easy, but only once I understand the big picture but I will uninstall 1979 and reshade and start again.
First Try [Steps taken as I dont have Vanilla files backed up, so to avoid complete AI reinstall]
1) Restarted 4.9.1. Chose update over install. 2) Ticked All Packages Including Legacy at bottom of list. 3) Closed Tool. Made no changes to already installed 1979 [in AI Folder.] 4) Loaded game and following your advice opened Tool with POS1. 5) Selected DefaultPreset.ini from drop down menu and applied.
I think it might be working now, as I could see an immediate change in the planetary background screen. Its a new game and im only at the first bit with the Sevastopol Model [after luggage area] but i can clearly see it looks very different, and it looks like the 1979 style which was as it happens the one i wanted out of all the one's in tis mod.
Question: Assuming as I am that the basic Reshade is now working, all the other unticked packages in the tool are just more options for me to play with right? Because obviously most of them are unticked and unused, only a handful at the top are ticked which im guessing are everything that was required to apply the 1979 style. Some ticked items do things which break the game for example making my screen solid yellow but if you have any recommendation for which additional packages to apply that would be great.
I'm a little confused. How to install version IV - AD Default? 1. What checkboxes should I put in the program "Reshade 6.2" 2. Where should I copy the file "defaultpreset.ini" (which I downloaded here)
I'm sorry, I didn't understand: 1. Are the checkboxes in the program "Reshade 6.2" set the same for all versions? 2. what to do with file "defaultpreset.ini" (which I downloaded here)
No problem defaultpreset.ini is no longer available for the new version 6.2. Download a new version of Alien1979 that I have inserted.
1. run ReShade_Setup_6.2.0.exe and locate the AI.exe in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder. Where you installed the game. Select DirX 10-11-12, turn on: Standard (is already activated) + SweetFX from C + Legacy Effects. Install. (Skip tutorial (switch on) if possible. I am not sure if this function still exists.) Done.
A standard reshade shader folder and a reshade-presets.ini are created (among others) in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder. 2. select an Alien1979 version and paste the entire content (reshade-shaders folder and a reshade-presets.ini) into the Alien Isolation Game folder.

For anyone wondering there is a work around to make this work with MotherVR. Move the existing dxgi.dll from MotherVR out of the game folder. Put it on the desktop for the time being, install Reshade as you would. Now rename the created dxgi.dll from the Reshader to d3d11.dll and copy the one from MotherVR you put on the desktop back into the game folder.
I do use ur ReShade Setup 4-5-4, but i get always by setting it up "Unsuccessfull" . So i downloaded reshade-shaders folder from u and put it in folder local/temp/
In the game when i press HOME i see no shaders and what so ever and when i click on "Defaultpreset.ini" happens nothing....

Hello, did you download the ReShade-exe from me or from the net? I have included a version of ReShade_Setup_4.5.4 in the downloads in case it is no longer available. I have not been able to test it, but it should work. I have included a reshade-shaders folder in case it was not installed completely. (always install as administrator)
Still no luck... here what exactly I did: - downloaded reshade 4.5.4 from here - installed 4.5.4 (as admin) - selected AI.exe (left the 'enable reshade in vulkan....' unchecked) - selected 'Direct3D 10/11/12' (default) - checked all effects (daltonize.fx deband.fx displaydepth.fx lut.fx uimask.fx) - there's default 'https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders' in the box 'add repository' (I left it untouched) - clicked OK
Then an error "unable to extract reshade-shaders-master" "Cannot find path ..\AppData\Local|Temp\reshade-shaders-master/Shaders' somthing like that.
- downloaded your shader folder here, copied to game folder - downloaded AD 1979 preset 'DefaultPreset.ini', copied to game folder
Started the game > Home > skip tutorial > checked 'performance mode' I saw the 'DefaultPreset' in this overlay. I toggled the effect on/off and didn't see any difference.
I found that in the AppData folder mentioned above, there's 'shader' & 'texture' folders as well, but the contents are different from in game folder. Does it matter?
Just found an old reshade.exe which is 6.1.1 for my other game earlier this year. I gave it a try, and copied your reshade folder into game folder... and boom! it works!!
I am very glad that it works. It is possible that the old downloads are no longer up to date. Older ReShades are often no longer active. I had similar problems with old Skyrim ReShades from other authors. Glad it's working now. Have fun with Amanda. Great game.
I already said your links are broken. When trying to download your mediafire links:
So I downloaded 4.5.4 directly from reshade.me archives. For some god forsaken reason it tries to copy files to a temp folder in my user profile folders instead of my D:\games\Alien Isolation\ folder even when I point it directly there:
I tried in admin mode and normal mode.
So then I tried the version 4.7 but during the install it refuses to download the full list of legacy fx that you show in your .jpg file. I only end up with the basic 6 or 7 standard .fx files with the legacy files nowhere to be found:
press OK then the same exact window with the same exact .fx files and checkmarks pops up again i press OK it says successfully installed then I go to my Alien Isolation folder and this is all that is inside the shaders folder and if I run the game and I open the reshade menu and activate your preset I only have ONE fx enabled, so I know its missing all the files. I dont know wtf is wrong with the reshade repository but these two (4.5.4 and 4.7) are broken as hell.
Strange. At the moment I can't test it myself, but I suspect that some files are not loaded completely. The authors are also constantly changing something. I send an old file of mine in the optional download area. Overwrite the installed Reshade-Shader with it and try to run it again. Or testing: older ReShade_Setup_4.5.4.exe is included. Good luck.
Thanks man. I was able to install 4.5.4.exe by unchecking the fx files during setup. Then I copied your reshade-shaders to my game directory. After launching the game I had to go into the reshade settings to point and click the + button for Shaders and Textures to add paths. After reloading, all the fx showed up in the list and was able to load your presets. Only one problem now it says there were errors compiling CAS.fx. No other errors. But it still looks pretty good.
EDIT: Oh ok I dont think your preset uses CAS.fx. So that doesnt matter. Everything seems to be in order.
Cheers thazer, managed to get this working because of your comment, it looks like it saves the files to the temp folder as `reshade-shaders-slim` but is expecting `reshade-shaders-master`.
Thank you for uploading the old ReShades into this mod. I was able to use ReShade 4.7 with the Legacy box checked (and other checkboxes per your guide on page 1) and your mod took an already visually amazing game to the next level.
Hi, I'm glad that everything is going well. It would be a shame if this slightly older ReShade preset stopped working. I had a lot of fun with Amanda in the best Alien game yet. I hope you had the same. Thanks for the nice feedback. All the best to you.

Hello Peter.
A lot has changed with the ReShade update. (ReShade_Setup_4.9.1).
(Unfortunately the author is making changes that are no longer compatible with older ReShades.)
For example, the original DefaultPreset.ini was renamed ReShadePreset.ini in the new ReShade.
"Alien Domination exchanges the original, still empty DefaultPreset.ini
with the DefaultPreset.ini that I edited and was started automatically
in the old ReShade version at that time.
This file was originally created for ReShade_Setup_4.5.4. and
"Legacy standard effects" were not necessary."
Try this:
Option 1 Old:
with the old ReShade_Setup_4.5.4 / tested!
Or:
with the old ReShade_Setup_4.7.0 / tested! (Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.)
ReShade will start the original DefaultPreset.ini automatically.
If not:
open the menu with Pos1 and look for the inserted new DefaultPreset.ini in the upper selection field
C: \ ... \ Alien Isolation \ DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located)
Accept DefaultPreset.ini.
Option 2 New:
with ReShade_Setup_4.9.1 / not tested!
(Don't forget "Legacy standard effects" during installation.)
ReShade tries to start the original ReShadePreset.ini automatically.
Since this is still empty, open the menu with Pos1
and look for the inserted new DefaultPreset.ini in the selection field above
C: \ ... \ Alien Isolation \ DefaultPreset.ini (exe is located)
Accept DefaultPreset.ini.
Or:
rename (before exchanging the Ini file) the Alien Domination Ini file:
DefaultPreset.ini in ReShadePreset.ini.
So it should be reloaded automatically.
Does it work?
Have fun!

How to install version IV - AD Default?
1. What checkboxes should I put in the program "Reshade 6.2"
2. Where should I copy the file "defaultpreset.ini" (which I downloaded here)
See download folder. Have fun (-;
1. Are the checkboxes in the program "Reshade 6.2" set the same for all versions?
2. what to do with file "defaultpreset.ini" (which I downloaded here)
defaultpreset.ini is no longer available for the new version 6.2. Download a new version of Alien1979 that I have inserted.
1. run ReShade_Setup_6.2.0.exe and locate the AI.exe in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder. Where you installed the game.
Select DirX 10-11-12, turn on: Standard (is already activated) + SweetFX from C + Legacy Effects. Install.
(Skip tutorial (switch on) if possible. I am not sure if this function still exists.) Done.
A standard reshade shader folder and a reshade-presets.ini are created (among others)
in the “Alien Isolation Game” folder.
2. select an Alien1979 version and paste the entire content (reshade-shaders folder and a reshade-presets.ini)
into the Alien Isolation Game folder. Confirm the overwriting of the standard files.
That's it already. As soon as you start the game, a small text will appear at the top (ignore)

Unable to extract reshade-shaders-master.
Any idea how to fix?
thx
I have included a version of ReShade_Setup_4.5.4 in the downloads
in case it is no longer available. I have not been able to test it, but it should work.
I have included a reshade-shaders folder in case it was not installed completely.

I found that in the AppData folder mentioned above, there's 'shader' & 'texture' folders as well, but the contents are different from in game folder. Does it matter?
I gave it a try, and copied your reshade folder into game folder...
and boom! it works!!
Older ReShades are often no longer active. I had similar problems with old Skyrim ReShades from other authors.
Glad it's working now. Have fun with Amanda. Great game.
https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_4.5.4.exe
When trying to download your mediafire links:
So I downloaded 4.5.4 directly from reshade.me archives. For some god forsaken reason it tries to copy files to a temp folder in my user profile folders instead of my D:\games\Alien Isolation\ folder even when I point it directly there:
I tried in admin mode and normal mode.
So then I tried the version 4.7 but during the install it refuses to download the full list of legacy fx that you show in your .jpg file. I only end up with the basic 6 or 7 standard .fx files with the legacy files nowhere to be found:
press OK
then the same exact window with the same exact .fx files and checkmarks pops up again
i press OK
it says successfully installed
then I go to my Alien Isolation folder and this is all that is inside the shaders folder and if I run the game and I open the reshade menu and activate your preset I only have ONE fx enabled, so I know its missing all the files. I dont know wtf is wrong with the reshade repository but these two (4.5.4 and 4.7) are broken as hell.
The authors are also constantly changing something.
I send an old file of mine in the optional download area.
Overwrite the installed Reshade-Shader with it and try to run it again.
Or testing: older ReShade_Setup_4.5.4.exe is included.
Good luck.
Only one problem now it says there were errors compiling CAS.fx. No other errors.But it still looks pretty good.EDIT: Oh ok I dont think your preset uses CAS.fx. So that doesnt matter. Everything seems to be in order.
Well then have fun and don't let the Alien catch you. (-;
What exactly is the problem?
I had a lot of fun with Amanda in the best Alien game yet. I hope you had the same. Thanks for the nice feedback. All the best to you.
