RESHADE INSTALL
0. My preset needs RenoDX and the latest Reshade with Addons support for the full visual experience.
1. Download the latest Add-ons version of ReShade from here: "https://reshade.me". If the game crashes or experiencing bugs, try other versions.
2. Install ALL the shaders by clicking twice on the "Check/Uncheck all" button.
3. Do NOT install any add-ons from the setup, finish the install.
4. Unzip my modpack and copy EVERYTHING EXCLUDING THE @PICTURES FOLDER AND THE README into your "bin64" game folder where the game exe is located.
5. Launch the game and press "Home" to bring up the Reshade interface, you can Skip Tutorial.
6. Manually configure the RenoDX presets in the RenoDX window according to the picture (renoDX_SDR1.png or HDR). I recommend merging the RenoDX window with reshade if its not by default already. RenoDX uses two tabs separate for Color Grading and Graphics settings! The Graphics tab is the same for SDR and HDR.
RenoDX SDR preset:
RenoDX HDR preset:
Graphics tab:
IMPORTANT: The Darker Nights option makes night/dusk/dawn really dark. Try it for yourself.
7. Choose one reshade preset (UltimateCrimson_SDR_1.1.ini or HDR) in the upper bar on the interface then press "Select".
8. Optional: If you don't see a difference or looks weird, you have to set the depth buffer in reshade "Preprocessor definitions". (check picture: preset_depth.png)
9. I recommend binding a toggle key to quickly turn on/off the preset. You can set this in the Settings tab. (PageUp for me)
10. Check the attached pictures how your reshade should look like.
11. You can change the preset effects according to your liking.
MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS SELECT THE LATEST UPDATED PRESET!
Feel free to ask any question on Patreon, will try my best to answer them ASAP.
PRESETS AND TURNING OFF HUD/EFFECTS
RenoDX is used to turn off effects like in-game sharpening, bloom, chromatic aberration, and to correct black levels.
My reshade preset use color correction, darker colors and contrast and a really lightweight ray tracing GI/AO shader + bloom.
TurboGI is a light RT shader and as always it leaves depth based "shadow" lines if you use other interface like maps.
Performance impact is about 10%, turn off "Zenteon:Framework" and "Zenteon:TurboGI.fx" if you don't like it or need more fps.
RT shaders are depth based effects so you have to make sure the depth buffer is set correctly. "RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED" must be "1" (picture: preset_depth.png)
The two shadertoggler files are used to turn off HUD and ingame effects for immersion.
To turn them on/off I binded the "End" key to most of them. (picture: no_hud_addons.png)
You can configure these hotkeys by editing the ShaderToggler.ini file.
