- It's based on Reshade 4. 7.x framework, but may not work properly with other Reshade version; therefore please clean-up your previous Reshade files before apply this mod. You don't have to run Reshade installer, just extract all folder and files to proper location as shown on the screenshot below.
- for the best result please turn OFF Noise Grain, Chromatic Aberration and Motion Blur inside in-game Graphic Settings. If you have Turing card or newer, then you may set DLSS to "auto"
How to install:
- Clean-up your previous all Reshade files and configuration (if you already installed it) from Cyberpunk2077 folder before install this mod
- Extract these files into where your game executable (Cyberpunk2077.exe) resides.
The files and folder structure are as shown in this screenshot example below. Where green high-lighted is Cyberpunk exe file, and grey high-lighted are my mod folders and files :
- Run the game!
Command Keys:
- INSERT : Toggle Effects ON/OFF (default: ON)
- END : to Show up Reshade UI, so you can adjust Color Saturation, Light Intensity, and Dark Level to fit your monitor/your liking.
I hope you like it! :)
