ℹ️ About RenoDX

RenoDX, the full name is "**Renovation Engine for DirectX Games**", is a toolset for modifying games. Currently it can replace shaders, inject buffers, add overlays, and write user settings to disk. Since RenoDX uses Reshade's plug-in system, compatibility is expected to be very broad. Using Reshade simplifies all the necessary steps to hook into DirectX, without having to worry about patching a specific version of your game executable. Source code is available on GitHub.
