📋 About This Mod
This is the first Reshade-Preset that i made on my own.
I testet the whole game with it and i think its a big improvement.
It adds Ambient Occlusion (MXAO), Bloom and some other stuff to bring more color into this game.
I suggest you to disable any driver sharpening and you must disable Anti-Aliasing, otherwise the MXAO will not work!
Use Downsampling instead (VSR/DSR). -- I also added SMAA, it will help a bit.
How to install:
1. Download reshade: https://reshade.me/
2. Start Reshade and select RE4
3. Choose DirectX9 and select my file (Flunkiii RESHADE)
After starting the game, open the reshade overlay (Pos1)
At the top of the menu, click on Add-Ons and activate -Copy depth buffer before Clear operation-.
If you did everything right, it should look like on my screenshots :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives the game a more grounded, realistic look without overhauling the art style.
- Lightweight performance impact—Reshade presets like this usually run smoothly on mid-range PCs.
- Easy to toggle on/off with the Reshade overlay, so you can compare before and after.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects colors and lighting—no other visual tweaks like sharpening or depth of field.
- May not suit everyone's taste; some might find the realistic palette less vibrant than the original.
- Compatibility risk: Reshade versions can conflict with other graphics mods or the game's anti-cheat (if applicable).
This is for players who want a quick, subtle visual upgrade to RE4's original graphics without a heavy mod. If you're a purist who likes the classic look but wants a bit more realism in lighting and colors, this is a good pick. It's also great for those new to Reshade who want a simple preset to try.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Reshade installed first—this mod is just the preset, so you'll need the Reshade framework to run it.
- Use the Reshade in-game overlay (usually Home key) to adjust the preset's intensity or disable it if you want the original look back.
- If you're playing the Steam version, check for any compatibility notes with the latest game patch, as updates can sometimes break Reshade presets.
