📋 About This Mod

Performance dropped by around 8-15 FPS due to Sharpen and other reshade options selected.

If the reshade is darker or brighter on your side, please tweak the Gamma Correction in the game settings (video section) and lower it or raise it to your liking.

For a decent FPS increase, disable Clarity option :)

I have my Gamma Correction usually set between 80 - 90 - that is the sweetspot for my monitor and preference.

Tests were done on my own monitor so if the visual quality differs, please tune it to your monitor.

This reshade is made mostly for people that use/dont use RT (ray tracing) setting and have HDR turned OFF. If you play with PT (path tracing) active, the shadows/dark environments might be too aggressive so be aware.

Steps to install for people new to modding: 

1. Download and install CET (cyber engine tweaks)

2. Download LUT Switcher CORE and the Nova LUT Pack OR Preem LUT Pack

3. Download my ReShade file

4. Download ReShade from the following website - https://reshade.me/

5. Open the ReShade program

6. Select Cyberpunk 2077 from the list and hit Next

7. Select DirectX 10/11/12 option and hit Next

8. Click on Browse and select my ReShade file you downloaded at step #3

9. Make sure you have all the addons checked (you have the option to uncheck and check all in the top right)

10. Hit Next and complete the setup

11. Boot the game and you should have the ReShade program active in the top part of the screen (to open, press the HOME button on your keyboard)

12. Skip tutorial and then hide the ReShade menu by pressing on the HOME button again

Please note that the ReShade will take effect only when you are in the Open World and NOT in Main Menu.

Steps to install GITS FUJI ENV files (MANUALLY / MANUAL DOWNLOAD & INSTALL):

1. Download and install ArchiveXL

2. Download the 00 FUJI ENV zip archive

3. Open the zip archive

4. Copy both the "archive" and "engine" folders

5. Paste the folders in the main cyberpunk location (Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077)  - use this as a template -> for the people that play on GOG or other platforms)

I am using the GITS Preem LUT version as i like it more :).

Thanks for trying it out and hope you like it :) !
