Pale_Start - Cinematic ReShade

Made this one for you guys.

NOTE 12/16/2022

Someone on the nexus changed the files in the download. What you see in the screenshots, is not what you get in the download file. I no longer have the files on my pc, so I cannot reupload without recreating the preset from scratch.

The only reason I was made aware of this was because the Lord made me redownload the game, so I came here for my presets only to find that they look horrible when applied.

Installation:

1. Download ReShade (During initialization choose DirectX10,11&12 after navigating to game directory and selecting the Nioh2.exe)

2. Select and install all packages besides AstrayFX by BlueSkyDefender and OtisFX by Otis Inf.

3. Download my mod "Pale_Start," extract it, and drop it into the Nioh 2 directory.

Skip the Next Step if RTGI isn't on the menu at all.

4. RTGI? Yeah, you can still use it. But you're gonna have to manually tweak some stuff to suit it. If you guys want, I can do the tweaks and add it later. Just give me a heads up. Message me or something, I don't bite......but I do nibble. Kinda depends on the mood tbh. Or you can just drag and drop it in, it doesnt look too bad with default configuration.

All jokes aside, Copy and Paste go brrrrrr!!!

To get this to work, turn it on via the ReShade menu and go into the dx3d11 tab. You'll see a couple fluctuating numbers. Click the one for your resolution (with the larger number) . If you don't do this, it will not work. Usually you don't have to do this, but it didn't work outta the box like it usually does. So if it doesn't work outta the box, this is one of the two reasons why.

What's the other reason?

Display Depth in the ReShade menu needs to have its values changed. Scroll down and look for Display Depth then activate it. The screen will be split in two. One side with purple geometry while the other will be pure black (You might see something else too). Basically, the right side should look like a pencil shaded environment without any line work, while the other is 3D with some coloring hinting where light is cast and where shadows are cast. Following the instructions that's in the detailed menu at the bottom, adjust the values to suit after clicking the edit global processing thingy. Don't click the + and - buttons when you open it thinking it'll change the values. It'll actually remove the field. If you removed the field, just click the + button and while looking at that detailed menu from before, retype the field that you deleted and then manually change the values as the instruc
