White_Noise - Cinematic ReShade (Optional RTGI)

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.

All this is tailored to my liking, and odds are (since I've fallen in love with tweaking it) imma tweak it some more as I play and find certain things that aren't always present in certain visual areas/environments that look bad, and fix em.

If you see anything and have any suggestions just let me know. I was gonna add more screenshots of different environments, but I considered that I had to go to each location, walk around, find certain places that showcase the mod, take a couple pics, kill a couple enemies, beat the boss, and then rinse and repeat for each unique location. I said nah, I ain't doing that right now. I just seriously wanna enjoy the game right now. But yeah, as I progress I'll keep taking some pics.

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 "White_Noise" and drop "My First Reshade" into the Nioh 2 directory.

4. Marty McFly's RTIG - Skip this step if you can't get your hands on it atm. 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, re
