About Easy Installer

ReShade Centralized is an open-source installer built with C# and .NET. It is provided as an alternative to the official ReShade installer for users who keep a single shared reshade-shaders folder for multiple games.

Instead of installing separate files per game, it stores presets, screenshots, shader files, and ReShade DLLs in one central location. It then generates a reshade.ini file that points each game to those locations. DLLs and config files are deployed as symlinks, so updating ReShade in the central folder applies to linked games without updating each one separately.

The tool suits PC players who use ReShade across several games and want centralized management. It requires administrator privileges for symlinks, is described as pre-release software, and includes a separate method for Microsoft Store games that uses runtime injection.
