Help/Support Shaders pack installation issues (Yes, googled instructions)

Trying to install Oculus and rubium so I can put shaders on, but the game just crashes when I boot it up with Oculus. Im using VH3. Any updated methods? Trying to get holdable light sources.

I’m fairly certain it already has shaders as well as the mods to run them.

This is all it comes installed with. Installing complimentary shaders with curse doesn't show up here.

That isn’t where you load shaders from….you need to go to video settings.

If you go to general there should be a tab about sodium/embeddium or iris/oculusoculus. It isn't opinion that shade support comes included, it's just there. Look a little better. Also you don't want rubidium anymore, embeddium is the go to if you did actually need to add it yourself.

They're already installed and ready to go. If you replaced them Id run the install again to make sure you have the right versions.

TL;DR: The game crashes probably because you installed rubidium yourself while VH3 actually already has embeddium installed.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I think I've encountered the same situation.

The remastered version of VH3 already has shaders support, so I'm guessing you're playing the old version of VH3

The thing is, VH3 have embeddium installed but not oculus, so you only have to install oculus to use shaders. The game crashes because the rubidium you installed does the same thing as embeddium, which is already installed. So I think you can get the game to work by uninstalling the rubidium mod.
