Microsoft Store Reshade without batch file

Mannaged to get reshade working without a batch file.

 

When installing Reshade 5.7 just point to gamelaunchhelper in your xboxgames microsoft flight simulator content folder;

 

Using Reshade with Xbox App/Game Pass Installs

In the past getting Reshade and UWP to cooperate has required multiple steps of varying difficulty, however Microsoft has since changed their processes to allow direct access to game files for all users by default. As a result, the steps required to get Reshade working on Game Pass games is much less complicated.

The steps may vary slightly but the basics remain consistent:

  1. Define your install path. You can set this by clicking on the profile icon in the top left of the xbox app> Settings > General, Under the section Game Install Options you can set the game folder destination. Install as normal.
  2. Depending on which method you intend to use, the next step will either be:
    • Manual Install - Place the files in the same folder as the game's .exe
    • Reshade Installer - launch the installer guide and browse to the game folders, from here you will need to locate gamelaunchhelper.exe as trying to use the game's own .exe will most likely produce an error.

Once you've successfully situated Reshade, launch the game and you should be able to use it as normal.

Great!  I have been waiting for something like this, i.e. easier to install and use it.

EDIT:

It works.
Here's the usual path:  C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.30.12.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

You made my day again because ReshadeUWP did not work with DirectX12 on MSFS, now it works perfectly.

I had this working already by putting it in the exe.xml

Problem is the exe.xlm will not execute a bat file. However, there are a number of free apps to convert a bat file into an exe file (google: bat to exe converter). And that solves the problem

AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof

so tried it. No luck. Sim crashes on startup screen......

Strangely, I could not find gamelaunchhelper.exe in my MSFS folder not even while doing a file search on the drive or any other drive
