📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to my second reshade preset for Hogwarts Legacy, which aims to replace the in-game ray tracing with more performance-friendly global illumination. After tuning for many hours, finally you can too enjoy ray traced like lighting without the huge performance loss. Please keep in mind that this preset was created with in-game fog turned off in the Engine.ini file.
ABOUT SHADERS
Version 2. 0
Fixed the missing folders, so you don't have to manually place solaris into shaders folder.
Reworked global illumination now with more precise depth based effect and more adjustments. I started to use 6880x2880 ultrawide resolution with DLSS quality. Frame Gen and RTX are turned OFF for two reasons: 1 - they seems to be buggy with depth based shaders, 2 - in-game ray tracing is implemented in poor quality. Other graphics settings remained the same as before.
Version 1. 0
Radiant GI and Blooming HDR is used for more realistic lighting and bloom effects, focal dof to blur the distant objects with disabled fog. Bonus lutpack is used for color correction and a tiny bit of sharpening for a more crispy look. Performance drop is about 15%
My graphics settings: I play on 5160x2160 resolution with DLSS Quality and every graphic setting set on maximum. Film Grain, motion blur, chromatic a. and depth of field are turned off. I have set every ray tracing option to ON and ultra, but you can turn it off because global illumination basically fills this role.
Bear in mind that this preset is optimized for this resolution and graphic settings, so if you are playing on lower resolution like 1080p, you can experience some issues, like oversharpening or too much blur or white lines, which is how global illumination looks on low resolution.
Attention: Make sure your Depth Buffer is set correctly in Reshade or else you wouldn't notice the depth based filters correctly (GI and FocalDof).
1. Open up reshade
2. Click on "Edit global preprocessor definitions" where you will likely see numbers 1000, 0, 0, 0
3. Rewrite the second "0" to "1".
