Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Realistic Vista Shaders?
Open Video Settings, go to the Shader Packs screen, select Realistic Vista Shaders from the list, then apply it. The menu is in the same place whether you use Iris or OptiFine.
Does this shader work with Iris or only OptiFine?
It supports both Iris and OptiFine. Use one loader or the other, not both together, because the two loaders conflict.
I selected the pack but nothing looks different, what's wrong?
A shader pack can't do anything without a shader loader, so check that Iris or OptiFine is actually running. Also confirm the Shader Packs screen shows Realistic Vista Shaders as active rather than off, and that you clicked apply before closing the menu.
Will Realistic Vista Shaders run on a low-end PC or laptop?
Yes, it's built to run on budget hardware without heavy performance drops. If your frame rate still dips, lower your render distance first and turn down any quality options the pack offers in its settings screen.
