Enhanced Edition

In order to remove that weird tint, that makes colors and lights toned-down, I made the color correction in Photoshop and rebalanced the light sources. Once that tint was gone, colors were back to their formormer beatuy!!! Then I made some tweakings, adding contrast and working on the saturation and the vibrancy of colors. Once this was done, the game looked perfect without need of optional color grading or useless: WOW effect. All this have been made using the LUT effect.

Lastly, to reduce the blurry visuals caused by the AA, I've set the Lumasharpen effect just at the right amout (overdo might cause oversharpening), in combo with Clarity to enhance textures detail.

Overall the game looks cleaner, with daytime rich in details and better balanced, while the night-time is darker and scarier (in particular in the otherworld).

This is what I call an ENHANCED EDITION ;)

A reminder: turn off the Sharpen Setting, in the graphic options. Do this to avoid OVERSHARPEN visuals.

PERFORMANCES

This preset have been made, using the mods: FPS Unlocker and in a later stage -> No Sweet FX Lights. I HIGHLY SUGGEST to use both for a better experience.

After some patching, game performances have improved. However the stutter is only reduced but not completely gone.

With this in mind, I suggest to set in the graphic setting: Shadows to LOW and Shaders to MID. In addition cap your fps both in RTSS and in game. With these optimizations the game should stay stable as long as possible, with only few random minor stutters. Having said this, with my preset ON + the above optimizations, I stay most of the time at 60 fps with 0fps loss. When the game stutter (even with the preset off), I get a drop of 2fps top. I play at 1440p on IPS SDR G-Sync compatible screen. This are my spec: 11700K; 32gb RAM; 4070 Ti Super; NVME Gen 3.
