📋 About This Mod
Hogwarts Legacy looks great but it's visual quality is diminished by a colorless world, blurry textures, and a seemingly greenish tint in some locations. Filmic ReShade remedies these issues by overhauling the visuals with simple effects and shaders that won't drop even a single frame.
One unique feature of Filmic ReShade is its built-in Cinematic Mode, which can be toggled by pressing F5 on your keyboard. This mode removes all HUD elements and adds a letterbox effect to really put emphasis on the game world so you can be truly immersed. This mode would not be possible without a mod called Toggle HUD, created by ZachFettx. Shout out to Zach for making this mod. Go endorse and download his wonderful creation!
As far as I can tell based on my personal use with this preset, there are two primary issues while using the Cinematic Mode. One is when any UI pop-ups appear, such as dialogue options, tutorials, minigames, field lore pages etc., your game will appear paused with the mode enabled. To fix this, you will have to turn off the mode, interact with the pop-up, and then turn it back on. I know this isn't very.. IMMERSIVE.. But not much you can do sadly. The second is that pre-rendered cutscenes do not work with the Cinematic Mode at all.
