Camera Lens Flare Begone

About

Simple mod to remove the camera lens flare effect since unlike most games NieR Automata doesn't have a setting for it

The effect is mostly found in the desert area.

The shader version is a complete removal of the effect while the texture version removes it only partially.

Requirements

• []Special K for the texture injection and shader edit[/]

  Installation

  Shader variant: (Recommended)

  For local SpecialK installation: (if you use NAMH or followed my guide you probably have this installation)

  • []Download the shader variant of the mod in the download section.[/]

    []Extract the file "d3d11_shaders.ini" in your NieR Automata root folder.

    Note: If you already have a d3d11_shader.ini there, merge the changes from this to your own file.[/]

    For global SpecialK installation:

    • []Download the shader variant of the mod in the download section.[/]

      []Extract the file "d3d11_shaders.ini" in your "<path-to-SpecialK>\Profiles\NieRAutomata™\" directory.

      Note: If you already have a d3d11_shader.ini there, merge the changes from this to your own file.[/]

      Texture variant:

      • []Download the texture variant of the mod in the download section.[/]

        []Extract the folder "5_Camera-Lens-Flare-Begone" from the zip into your ".\SK_Res\inject\textures\" directory.

        Note: Order doesn't matter since I am pretty sure there is no other mod which edits the same files. [/]
        • []Maybe, for the texture version, there are some locations where the camera lens flare effect may still be present, if you find them, please report them to me here.[/]

          []You can install both at the same time but I am 99% sure the shader variant alone is enough.[/]

          []Your <path-to-SpecialK> is probably "C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK"[/]
