📋 About This Mod

A visual extension to crubino's AWESOME Simple Realistic VR for Half Life Alyx Reshade

Download and endorse his mod first, follow all of his instructions to install his files except no need to download or install Reshade.

When ready copy this mods files in to place.

The Kernel32. DLL is purposely fholger's (kudos!!) special pre-v5 Reshade version.  Be sure to select the correct Reshade (gavwhittaker.ini) in the Reshade interface but then Reload all shaders and ensure crubino's HLAlyx shader is loaded last/bottom.

If you want to fallback to crubino's reshade, untick all shaders except for HLAlyx.  Enjoy!
