Preset Versions
I Recommend using the DDDA_2023_HD_Graphics_Clean_Version as it turned out the best I think.
NO Mod:
DDDA_2023_HD_Graphics: (about 15-25 ish fps loss for me) not updating this version anymore
First Release. Adds Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion, Ambient Illumination, DoF, SMAA and Texture Sharpening.
DDDA_2023_HD_Graphics_Clean_Version: (about 10-15 ish fps loss for me)
Removes some of the green tint from the game and adds Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion, DoF, SMAA and Texture Sharpening.
A bit softer than the original release. Contrast is not pushed up so high. Ended up removing the Ambient Illumination filter as the effect wasn't that great it used way to much fps. Still get Global illumination color bounces so still looks nice imo.
DDDA_2023_HD_Graphics_Original_Colors: (2-10 fps loss for me)
Keeps the games original colors and adds Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion, DoF, SMAA and Texture Sharpening.
DDDA_2023_HD_Graphics_Light: (0-5 fps loss for me)
For Slower PC's. This adds Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion, and Texture Sharpening.
Keeps the color adjustments and fast Global Illumination, Ambient Occlusion but does NOT have DOF, SMAA, or any other performance heavy shaders.
Colors are still a bit of a WIP atm. I'll probably be fine tuning them as I play though the game ;)
For now, you can change the LUT Filter to change the atmosphere/colors a bit.
I Made this Filter with AA and DOF disabled ingame.
I may keep working on it in the future as I play though the game and find areas that don't look so good. :)
Reshades DoF will cover UI Elements. It doesn't bother me as I am used to it but if you don't like it then just disable the filter.
Installation
[]Download and install RESHADE (select all shaders to be safe, or see the shader list and select the ones in the list)
