📋 About This Mod

INSTALLATION:

1- Download ONE of the two presets only

2- Unzip next to your game exe

3- Launch the game.

(Preferably offline, Although this is just a reshade preset, play online at your own risk)

IN GAME OPTIONS :

Turn motion blur OFF. Depth of field OFF. AntiAliasing OFF

(antialiasing off, the new reshade preset includes fxaa already)

This was optimized for 1080p! running at a smooth 60fps for about 50-70% Gpu

usage on average (1080ti). You can try 1440p but expect a hefty performance price

SPECIAL THANKS TO JakobPCoder for making his incredible TFAA shader and Motion Vectors Shader

thanks also to Martymcmodding for his Motion Vectors shader and his qUINT pack of shaders, which I'm making use of extensively here

OPTIONAL TWEAKS YOU COULD DO

Home button to bring up the reshade menu!

If you want to tweak the options, Turn OFF performence mod, when done, turning it back ON

DO NOT CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE EFFECTS

, KEEP THEM AS THEY ARE (Smaa>Motion vectors>tfaa>gaussianblur)

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING

Save for 2 settings:

1- under GaussianBlurCS.fx : Strength : default at 0. 286, you can turn it down to 0. 160 (especially if you play on 1080p) but I wouldn't go below that, otherwise the shimmering is going to show up again

2- under qUINT_motionvectors.fx → PreprocessorDefinitions → PRE_BLOCK_SIZE_2_TO_7 : THIS IS THE MAIN PERFORMANCE HOG. Accepts values from 2 to 7, 2 looks the worst but is the lighest on performance, while 7 is the most beautiful looking, but absolutely destroys performance

the rule of thumb is...  try it yourself! I find that 5 at 1080p looks gorgeous, at 1440p I would go with 4, at 4k, probably 2 at half resolution (instead of full resolution) Don't forget to press ENTER to validate your setting
