RenoDX - HDR and SDR Fix - Tonemap - Color Grade

RenoDX rewrites the game's DX12 shaders to fix native HDR (and SDR!) and user controls for the game. It uses the Reshade Add-on API to hook into the game, NOT RESHADE EFFECTS.

This mod fixes the vanilla color grading's raised blacks and low dynamic range.

File may get a false positive from AVs, but it's perfectly safe and the code is open source.

Features

• []Grading pipeline rewrite for SDR/HDR

  []Based on Reshade's Addon system to avoid needing to constantly patch after game updates

  Color Grading:

  • []Exposure Slider

    []Highlights Slider

    []Shadows Slider

    []Contrast Slider

    []Saturation Slider

    []Highlights Saturation Slider

  Installation

  • []Install REFramework

    []Install Reshade with addon support (link). No Reshade effects are required.

    []Extract downloaded zip next to game's exe MonsterHunterWilds.exe

    []Run game

    []Press <HOME> on your keyboard to access Reshade UI.

    [](Optional) Disable reshade's default add ons (Generic depth & Effect runtime sync) and restart game to potentially restore some performance.

    []If the game stutters, you might have to delete the game's cache (shaders.cache file) and rebuild shaders

    FAQ

    • []Does the mod override game options? YES.

      []What settings should I use? Default values are a good starting point, but you can customize it to whatever you think is best.

      Troubleshooting

      First, check the mod compatibility detector within the RenoDX menu for any issues! If you see errors/warnings, read the following.

      This mod alters the game's shaders and relies on strictly identifying them by their hashes. What this means is that any other mods that change the shaders that RenoDX modifies have a good chance of breaking aspects of this mod! Be extremely careful with engine level modifications alongside this mod, and always assume that they will be at fault for any sliders that don't work.

      To breakdown what the mod relies on, we hook into and replace a fog shader, a few post processing shaders, lutbuilders, and output shaders. The post processing shaders, which are the backbone of the mod, include: local exposure, vignette, lens distortion, chromatic aberration, tonemapping, and color grading LUTs. Some mods can change these without issues for the mod, but other mods might completely change the shader permutation that the engine uses, which breaks
