Assassin's Creed Mirage Realistic Mod (Reshade)

=> Had to suppress brightness a lot to balance the shadows and mid-tones!

Contains two versions bright (for most users) and dark (for visual artists) in nexus optional files!

- Bright version is great with a bump of screen brightness.

- Darker version is very very color and realism accurate but has very

low screen brightness and requires turning off room lights!

==============================================

/////IMPORTANT NOTE: /////

=>> Keep in-game Brightness Settings to 3.

==>> Keep in-game Contrast Settings to 2.

[ Settings -> Screen -> Image Calibration)

- Keep monitor brightness to maximum.

- Will be best if all graphics settings are kept on Ultra.

==========================================

- If using Nvidia DLSS

- Keep Sharpen Strength to 60%.

- If not using DLSS

- You may wanna untick Luma Sharpen and AMD Contrast Sharpening plugins

from ReShade's Home Tab. (While playing the game and not while installing ReShade!)

============================================

<<======== For Enabling Ambient Occlusion =========>>

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

- For Ambient Occlusion to work:

- After installing ReShade, start the game, let ReShade finish caching/loading shaders.

- Close the game.

- Open ReShade.ini text file, from game's root/install folder.

- Change  " RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED " value from 0 to 1 .

[  From   ' RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0 '  to  ' RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=1 '.  ]

- Hit save!

=> If you get flickering artifacts :

-  Untick PFFX SSDO and iMMERSE MXAO from ReShade's Home Tab!

Or  - turn off DLSS/Upsampling

(ReShade's depth map conflicts with DLSS/Upsampling)

- Ambient Occlusion will stop working as well.

=> Basic ReShade preset procedure, nothing extra.

===========================================

- ReShade Overlay Settings :

- Use ' HOME ' key for ReShade Overlay Toggle (Or ' = ' key next to Backspace).

- Set your own Effect Toggle (On/Off) key in ReShade Settings.

/////Installation of ReShade (For first timers) : /////

- Download and install ReShade ( https://reshade.me/ )

if you're doing it right! Don't paste the preset file inside the reshade folder though.)
