📋 About This Mod

UPDATE v1. 1 Better daylight. Burnt lights fix.

Well, I must say I like how this game looks really much. There's no much shading on this preset. Defog, local contrast and saturation based exposure.

It bassically makes the dark zones more dark.

Install last reshade without shaders and extract preset to the game folder.
