📋 About This Mod

*Please note the new install instructions in the Critical section, even if just updating from a previous version. You must set the Far Plane to 10000 now as of version 1. 4.

Version 1. 4 includes a major rework of the DoF to make it both more cinematic, have more options, AND make it less intrusive in moment-to-moment gameplay. Also reworked film grain. More updates likely to come soon.

INSTALLATION TUTORIAL VIDEO

DESCRIPTION:

This uses the ReShade 3. 0 framework to deliver realistic and cinematic, knock-your-socks-off visuals. Almost every cinematic feature is on a toggle key... and there are many, DoF and lens flares to lens dirt, anamorphic camera distortion, and godrays. Please let me know if you need help disabling a feature or tweaking a setting to your liking.

Also, toggle off the reshade DoF with the division key on the numberpad during cutscenes to avoid unintended blur.

I've been working on this preset since the game launched, as in that's all I've done with the game instead of actually playing it, lol. I do hope the work shows.

CRITICAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Once you've installed ReShade through the reshade.me page, you must then go to the in-game ReShade settings menu and make sure your settings are as follows:

RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=10000. 0

RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0

RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0

RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=1

Then, go back to the main "Home" reshade menu tab and click "reload" at the bottom of that reshade menu.

Failure to do this will render your entire screen either 100% blurry or give you odd ghost transparent projections everywhere DOF should be while Depth-of-Field (DoF) is on.

2) After finishing all the install steps below, you need to overwrite the default "reshade-shaders" folder with the one included in this download in your main Final Fantasy XV folder, where the game's .exe file is. Failure to do this will give you massive lens dirt splotches that are discolored and extremely bright bloom.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Download latest version of ReShade from here: https://reshade.me/

2) Run the .exe in admin mode and selec
