📋 About This Mod
MILD BUZZ RESHADE PRESET FOR HORIZON ZERO DAWN
This ReShade Preset aims to sharpen up some of the textures which can be a little blurry on PC as well as to enhance the colors, shadows and tone of the game. This isn't a drastic overhaul, just a minimal boost to an overall beautiful game if you will.
Step 1 - ReShade Installation:
- Download ReShade: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_5. 9. 2.exe
- Run ReShade setup, when prompted to select a game locate your Horizon Zero Dawn installation folder and select 'HorizonZeroDawn.exe' (Usually found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Horizon Zero Dawn")
- Select DirectX 10/11/12 and click 'Next'
- When prompted to select a preset click 'Skip'
- At the top right of the next screen click 'Uncheck All' then click 'Check All' to ensure you have selected all the packages to install, then click 'Next'
- Wait until all the packages have downloaded and you have successfully installed ReShade.
Step 2 - Installing 'A Mild Buzz' Preset:
- Download & unpack 'MildBuzz.zip' and place the .ini file inside your Horizon Zero Dawn installation folder, where you just installed ReShade.
- Start Horizon Zero Dawn
- If you have successfully completed all the previous steps you should see ReShade beginning to compile presets at the top of your screen. If there are any errors in this process do not worry, red text is not a problem here.
- Click the 'Home' button on your keyboard, then 'Skip Tutorial'
- At the top of the window you will see 'ReShade Preset' - click on it and locate the 'MildBuzz.ini' inside your game folder. This will enable all of the needed effects for this preset. You are finished the installation process.
Optional Step - Customizing the Preset:
- Click 'Active to top' to ensure you find the Preset we need for this step
- Select the 'prod80_02_Bonus_LUT_pack' from the list of presets.
- At the bottom of the screen the list of options relating to this preset should open up. Look for the 'LUT Selection' drop down menu.
- You can now easily cycle through 50 different options which can drastically change the preset to your liking. I personally prefer PD80 Cinematic 2, however there are 49 other options for you to choose from depending on your monitor or personal preferences.
Uninstallation:
- Run the ReShade Setup file
- Select HorizonZeroDawn.exe
- Select DirectX 10/11/12
- Select Uninstall
