ReShade is a third-party software for video games that players use to apply post-processing effects such as color correction, anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, custom crosshairs, and much more. If you used this software in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) and now want to uninstall it for some reason, here’s how.
How to remove ReShade on FFXIV
The steps to uninstall ReShade on FFXIV are identical to how you first install the software. Start by going to the ReShade website and downloading the latest version of the application by clicking on the link I highlighted in the image above. Run the app from the download folder and if you get a warning message, click More information and then Run anyway to launch the software. This happens when Windows Defender detects a third-party application, but you don’t have to worry because ReShade is safe.
After running the ReShade setting, click the to browse button and select the FFXIV .exe file from the game’s installation folder. Alternatively, you can select the game if it appears in the list (see the image above) and press Later below
On the next screen, select DirectX 10/11/12 (which should be the second option) and tap Later.
After this, select the third option that says Uninstall ReShade and effects and click Later. You will then receive an uninstall confirmation message, after which you can be sure that ReShade and all its related settings for FFXIV have been removed from your computer.
You can discuss additional questions and ask for the help of the community members on the FFXIV Discord server. For more on Final Fantasy XIV, check out How to Unlock Warqor Lar Dor Trial in FFXIV Dawntrail on Pro Game Guides.
