CRT Helmet Visor Vision

What it Does/Why I Made it:

You always see those mech pilots with the visor on their helmets, which often look like VR Headsets. I decided that the game did not represent what a pilot would actually be seeing if they were looking through one of those visors. So, I made a ReShade to simulate the experience. This is the result:

• []Old and somewhat malfunctioning CRT look to reflect the decaying technology of the Dark Age.

  []Looks great with in-game night vision

  []Increased immersion

  []Looks like you're watching recorded battle footage

  []Simulates screen burn-in, distortion, scan lines, film grain, etc. all to give a gritty dark-age of technology look

  []I do however suggest turning it off (insert key) when you're not piloting a mech as it makes the menus hard to look at. I like to think of it as taking my helmet on/off.

I may update this as I play more of the game and tinker around with ReShade. If there are any suggestions let me know.

Requirements:

• []Download Reshade here

  []Install Reshade

  []Select the game file, it should be located here:

  "C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Binaries\Win64\MechWarrior-Win64-Shipping.exe"[]Then choose "Direct3D 10/11/12" for the next option

  []Click yes when prompted to install presets.

  Using this ReShade:

  • []Download the file from this page

    []Extract the CRT.ini file and copy it over to the the same base folder:

    "C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Binaries\Win64"[]Choose "yes" if prompted to overwrite the files.

    []Boot up MechWarrior 5.

    []Go into the graphic settings and disable "Sharpening"

    []Hit the "Home" key to open up the Reshade settings

    []Select "CRT.ini" in the menu and enjoy!

  • You can turn the reshade on/off at any time by hitting the "Insert" key.
