📋 About This Mod

2 files: one reshade preset for better clarity, one reshade Shader Toggler to disable /enable HUD with a keyboard for added immersion

First: there are 2 files: The HUD toggle preset and the visual Reshade preset, you can use them together or seperate.

HUD toggle

Download reshade with add-on support here: https://reshade.me/(I use 6. 3. 3 with add-on support)

Install the ini file in your game folder (where reshade is located) and activate it in game in the reshade->add-on tab.

More Information about installing reshade here:https://guides.martysmods.com/reshade/installing/setuptool/

To toggle the HUD use the ~ key.

Note:The HUD shares shaders with inventory, crosshair and map. So you need to activate the HUD while browsing your inventory, looting and using the map.

I cant fix this part the game is build this way. I am looking for a way to let the toggler only toggle the outside borders of the screen (where the HUD is located) but at the moment, there is no functionality know to me in the ShaderToggler add-on.

I replaced the crosshair with Crosshair X (Steam), showing a green dot while holding right mouse button.

Known bug: sometimes there are stil numbers located on the screen, toggling HUD on and off again will fix this.

Reshade for more image clarity

A reshade to achieve a sharper image with more clarity and feel of depth. Of course,  it is personal preference, but for me this is making the game more beautiful and easier to spot NPC/objects.

Note:All comparison screenshots are made with the same ini tweaks, Adrenalin settings and ingame settings  The only difference is. reshade overlay on or off.

I play the game on 3840x1920, screenshots are downsized to 1920x1080 for nexus purposes.

INI Tweaks

Additional, I turned off Anti Aliasing in de ini files and use 150% render scale. Still working on my own INI file, as I am looking for better detailed trees in the distance
