📋 About This Mod
II wasn't quite happy with the washed out colors and clarity of the default game and I felt that the reshades out currently were missing a little. So I made this reshade to make the game look as nice as possible. There is about a 5-7 fps drop when using so if your hurting for frames maybe this isn't for you but i feel the picture quality is worth the loss.
Download Reshade from https://reshade.me/ and install into RDR2 directory and simply place my preset into the same directory and load it while in-game.
A Reshade preset for Red Dead Redemption 2 that enhances color saturation and clarity, addressing washed-out default visuals. Users must install Reshade separately and load the preset in-game. Expect a 5-7 FPS drop, making it best for players with hardware headroom. Popular with over 1,000 endorsements.
