MOD REQUIRES HDR ON IN GAME

3 issues with the game's HDR have been fixed:

- HDR presentation being washed out, due to not carrying over the sRGB 2. 2 gamma mismatch over to HDR (read more about gamma mismatch here). This has been replaced with RenoDX's own implementation of ACES tonemapper

- exposure scales brightness before tonemapping, this causes it to distort contrast/saturation/hues, making it not very useful as a way to adjust the brightness of the scene for darker/brighter room. Brightness is now scaled after tonemapping, giving more consistent results

- UI being deep fried looking compared to SDR, this was due to the developers using the sRGB gamma formula instead of 2. 2 gamma formula to linearize the UI elements. They then jacked up the contrast after linearization, likely as a way to cover up the gamma mismatch.

The Game's Peak and Exposure brightness values are overridden by the mod when using ACES and ACES (Customized) tonemap types.

  About RenoDX

  RenoDX, short for "Renovation Engine for DirectX Games", is a toolset to mod games. Currently it can replace shaders, inject buffers, add overlays, and write user settings to disks. Because RenoDX uses ReShade's add-on system, compatibility is expected to be pretty wide. Using ReShade simplifies all the hook necessary to tap into DirectX without worrying about patching version-specific exe files. The source code is available on GitHub.
