I am on Windows 10 and using a GTX 1650.
Doh! Maybe I can help. I have a GTX 980 (WHQL 512.77) and on Win11. Let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this.
What build are you currently using? Preferably with a link 
I am testing using the latest nightly build 05222022. https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/x86/

OK so I can confirm I have this issue too. If I try to load STD preset with Vulkan, after 5 seconds it says failed to load shader. This is using 05222022 on Win11 Nvidia WHQL 512.77 and a GTX 980. If I try to do the same on the main build, the issue is not there.
For the moment loading HSM just crashes Retroarch.

I found the last build that the HSM worked fine with was nightly build 052022.
This tells me that the problem has arisen because of Retroarch having vulkan rewrites. We will just have to wait until they are done with the vulkan side of things.

Thanks to everyone who gave it a test, I talked to the guy who did the latest cleanup on vulkan and he’s rolled back the latest change. So the next nightlies should hopefully be fixed.

Just tested the new nightly release and everything works fine again.

Hello. I’ve started a personal project on the LaunchBox forums in which I combine Orionsangel’s bezel overlays and HSM’s Reflection Shader. Check it out here: Combined: Orionsangel’s Realistic Arcade Overlays & HyperspaceMadness Reflective Shader - by Knowcontrol

Thanks for your reply.
My use is mixed, but I may still err on the side of caution and avoid it.

Thanks, I’ll have a look at this.
Yeah so if you use the glass preset then you should definitely not have any problems.
In the future if we add the hue cycling/background lighting this should also address the concern.

@HyperspaceMadness, I have been wondering if the frame and bezel could have different colors later?

I have been wondering the same thing honestly. 
If you really want, you can use a top extra image with a solid color and set the masking mode to the frame. The HSV parameters should let you do what you want.

I am mainly thinking changing the colors with parameters and not extra layers.
2 Likes
So am I.
But if you want to do it now you can. That is why the Top Extra layer is called “Extra”. It is reserved for things like this.

Yeah if this is something people thing would be valuable I can certainly add it.

What I had in mind was something simple like this shader toy, only a slower cycle.

But something like this, slowed down, would also be pretty cool.

I was thinking that something like this would be cool, although the fade would need to be smoother/slower, of course it would be the kind of thing which would be configurable
This one has an interesting bit about half way through
