Xirlio's Realistic Fantasy - Tales of The Forgotten Re-Arisen

The official ReShade visual preset for Tales of The Forgotten.

Please download and install ReShade - latest version should be fine and functional; the preset was made on 6. 6. 2.

Unpack the archive and drop the files inside Dragons Dogma 2 main game folder.

If you have a black screen with the "XRF ToTFDD2 Re-Arisen" preset enabled, make sure LUT.fx has the following:

- fLUT_TextureName set to "XRF_LUT3.png"

- fLUT_TileAmount set to 64

- fLUT_TileSizeXY set to 64

- "XRF_LUT3.png" needs to be present within "\reshade-shaders\Textures\" folder -- this is mandatory or you will have black screen when using LUT.fx shader

TIPS: Optimize your graphics settings and use Ray Tracing Tweaks in REFramework -> Graphics. This preset was made with "squeezing every single bit of visual fidelity out of the game" in mind.

You should check the media section for my in-game graphics settings.

Tip 2: If you can reduce sun intensity by half, day time looks better -> Get Tales of The Forgotten - Visual Manager if you haven't. Other visual tweaks like exposure, LDR Post Processing, etc. can be done there.

Tip 3:  - LUT luma amount -- this can be customized to your heart's content; CTRL+Click on the slider to write your own value

-- suggested values 0. 75 - 1. 5 depending on how dark you want your nights, interior and shadows

-- if you touch anything else you will ruin the lighting or visuals ( ideally don't touch anything else unless you ask or know what you're doing)

Tip 4: Don't like the blue hue in the whites?

- adjust prod80_04_SelectiveColor.fx - Selective Color: Whites -> Cyan: -1 up to -2

My System Specifications:

RTX 4070 12GB GPU

Intel i7-14700F CPU

32GB RAM 4400Mhz

Running the game on 1440p with DLSS Performance and Frame Generation OFF. My settings are as optimized as I could get them while also maintaining the highest level of visual fidelity.

You are expected to have a 12GB GPU for Reshade + Visual Manager.

- overall better lighting

- better colors

- grey filter removal

- more immersive nights and interior areas

- custom LUT that helps with all of the above
