Realistic Reshade for Assassin's Creed Odyssey v4.0

"I took care of them, every last one."

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IN-GAME HDR

April 17, 2021: Entirely rebuilt using ReShade 4. 9. 1. Better effects with fewer shaders used. RR ACO now offers subtle but substantial visual improvements without drastically reducing your FPS.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

All files included, just extract or drag and drop everything into your Assassin's Creed Odyssey install folder (where ACOdyssey.exe is located). To uninstall, simply remove the files you extracted, including any files in the install folder that start with "reshade."

Make sure that HDR is not enabled in the game menu.

Any overlay software (including Ubisoft's UPLAY overlay) may cause issues with this reshade.

Bring up the ReShade menu with the HOME key and feel free to uncheck any effects you don't like. Experiment and see which ones work best for you. Toggle the reshade on and off with the END key.

SCREENSHOTS:

Press the PRINT SCREEN key to take screenshots using reshade; you'll get confirmation via the reshade UI. Screenshots will be located in your install folder.

HOW TO IMPROVE FPS:

In the game's default Graphics settings, by far the single biggest impact on FPS is the Volumetric Clouds setting (you can see for yourself by running the benchmark). Lowering this setting will gain substantial FPS with minimal visual impact.

Believe it or not, turning anti-aliasing OFF will actually reduce your FPS (again, you can see this for yourself by running the benchmark). It's possible that Ubisoft's anti-aliasing involves rendering at a lower resolution. Make sure that anti-aliasing is at least set to Low.

All of the pictures posted here were taken with the ReShade screenshot key (printscreen), not the in-game photo function; what you see is how the game appears during actual gameplay on my machine, and they are not edited in any way, shape, or form (except that they are converted to jpeg, which slightly downgrades the image quality).

- Resolution is 1920x1080

- Reslolution Modifier is 200%.

-Brightness set to 50%.

- Vsync is OFF*

- Graphics Quality is "Ultra High"

- The RR ACO reshade is loaded and everything is enabled.
