You can actually logically deduce that by yourself. Google what ransomware is and then try to think how the file could have been not only manually verified by staff, but also downloaded over 10000 times and even endoresed over 300 times. In fact if this mod really would have infected over 10000 people with ransomware this would likely be the source of a news article on kotaku....
Sigh.... ._.
If anyone has a way to make Reshade work with Stardew in a simpler but reliable way, I will absolutely port this mod to the new way of doing it, so feel free to let me know!
It's two years too late but I had the same issue and ran the launcher.bat file through chatgpt hoping to debug it because I don't know a lick of coding, and somehow it worked. The fix was editting the launcher.bat file through notepad, replacing the entirety of the text with this, then saving it and launching it:
@echo off echo Debugging Batch File title %~n0 color f0 echo Changing to the Stardew Valley directory... cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley" echo Current directory is: %cd% echo Checking for Stardew Valley.exe... if exist "Stardew Valley.exe" ( echo Stardew Valley.exe found. ) else ( echo Stardew Valley.exe is missing. ) echo Checking for injector.exe... if exist "injector.exe" ( echo injector.exe found. ) else ( echo injector.exe is missing. ) echo Checking for StardewModdingAPI.exe... if exist "StardewModdingAPI.exe" ( echo StardewModdingAPI.exe found. echo Starting StardewModdingAPI.exe... start "" "StardewModdingAPI.exe" call "injector.exe" "StardewModdingAPI.exe" "ReShade32.dll" exit ) else ( echo StardewModdingAPI.exe not found. echo Starting Stardew Valley.exe... start "" "Stardew Valley.exe" call "injector.exe" "Stardew Valley.exe" "ReShade32.dll" ) pause exit
I can't manually download (it says there is ransomware so google straight up won't let me download. I know there isn't but I still cannot download it). Vortex will not download it.
For anyone interested in getting this working, the instructions on the front are a bit dated.
ReShade 1. Download ReShade from its main site. 2. When asked what game to install it with, pick the SMAPI version of Stardew. 3. When asked what API to use, pick OpenGL. 4. Skip. 5. Install whatever features you want.
Dreamy Valley Once ReShade is installed, download & extract this in Downloads. Make a Presets folder in the reshade-shaders folder in the game directory then drag the Fall, Spring, Summer, & Winter inis from Dreamy Valley into it. Drag the Shaders & Textures folders from Dreamy Valley into re-shade-shaders & overwrite everything. In the Shaders folder, delete FXAA.fx, MagicBloom2.fx, MagicBloom3.fx, MagicBloom_HDR.fx, PPFX_Godrays.fx, & PPFX_SSDO.fx. They give errors. Start the game then press Home & use the drop down menu at the top, click reshade-shaders, Presets, then whatever preset for your current season. You should be good to go after this.
Eemie's recolor isn't hard required but you need it & Dynamic Night Time if you want your game to look like the screenshots. I also personally use Rustic Country Town Interiors since I use a custom farm house & ATDSV doesn't cover the entire inside of the farm house. Looks just fine otherwise.
Used this mod and about 3 days later my anti virus protector on my computer said it blocked viruses twice. This hasn't happened with any other mods btw and I have at least 200 running. You can take this with a grain of salt. I didn't do too much research into what it blocked but I thought I'd let people know.

Is there a point in trying any further?
