HereticFX Reshade

Hi guys!

This is my personal improvement to Dark Souls III using the SweetFx and ReshadeFX Suite.

This preset is made for improve visual aesthetics without lose performace and denaturalize the original atmosphere of the Souls saga.

There are two type of presets:

SweetFX package: improve graphics and color correction Reshade package: all of SweetFx settings are included plus more adjustement (make the game more grim and rotten, Bloodborne style)

Best settings for light/dark situation with 0 FPS impact (fully tested on GTX 960/970/980 at 1920x1080p and 980ti at 2560x1080p ultrawide 21:9 and 2560x1440p)

SweetFx Features Effects:

FXAA HDR LUMASHARPEN LEVELS DPX TONEMAP VIBRANCE CURVES

ReshadeFx Suite plus Effects:

Technicolor 2 Tuningpalette FilmGrain
