Some of the features of this preset:

  • []Slighty altered color palette (less yellow) for a more cinematic feel (and a deeper blue sky on sunny days).

    []Darker shadows & improved ambient light (e.g. darkens places which are not well lit) for a more realistic feel.

    []Sharper textures. This preset reduces the blurriness FFXV has due to antialiasing.

    []Higher luminance of the sun: the sun feels more powerful and objects which are illuminated by the sun are brighter.

    []The nights are slighty darker,  light sources during nights appear slighty brighter.

    []Enhanced reflections on objects like rocks.

    []You can toggle the border with F3 in case you don't like it.

    Installation:

    • []Download the zip file under the files section and extract its content into the FFXV games folder (located at ./Steam/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY XV).

      []For the activation of this preset you need to put the game in borderless mode. Press "Shift + F2" to open the Reshade Menu. IMPORTANT: you need to "Alt + Tab" out of the game and return to it in order to access your mouse while the Reshade menu is active!

      []Now activate the preset by selecting the "Pure Light.ini" from the drop down list.

      []Now the preset should be active and can be toggled with the "Scroll Lock" Key.

      []I recommend setting "filtering" to low in the graphics settings. My full graphics settings are listed below under "performance".

      Delete the files "dxgi.dll", "dxgi.ini", "Pure Light.ini" and the folder "reshade-shaders" from your FFXV games folder.

      Performance & Graphics Settings:

      The hit on performance depends on the hardware. On my system (GTX 1080, Intel i7 6700, 16 GB Ram) the fps-hit varies between 5 and 15 fps. Here are my graphics settings for FFXV with which I created the preset and took the screenshots:

      []Resolution: 100%

      []Assets: On (primary because of the increased grass density that comes with the texture pack)

      []Model LOD: High

      []TRAM: Highest

      []Anisotropic Filtering: High

      []Geomapping: Off  (there are only a few places where I even notice the effect so I turned it off for better performance)

      []Lighting: High (Highest doesn't look better IMO but slightly decreases performance)

      []Shadows: Highest for th
