THE FIXER (improved image and anti-stutter)

DISCLAIMER: THE FINAL VERSION IS MORE GOOD THAN SCREENSHOTS

IF THE IN-GAME IMAGE IS TOO SATURATED WITH COLORs, LOVERING Colourfulness.fx

REMEMBER TO CALIBRATE PROPERLY YOUR DISPLAY AND SETUP THE IN-GAME GAMMA

any gamma in ReShade is different from the in-game gamma and from display gamma

the preset was only tested on the Spacers Choice Edition but perhaps it is also good on the original version

the settings are set to medium/high in terms of graphic quality and the preset need a Engine.ini tweak

I use also the FSR 2 in-game setted to Balanced (I quote this as reference for all screenshoots)

─ CHANGELOG ─

version FINAL : changed and perfected almost all... tested in all kind of in-game scenes, replaced some crap-defaults

version 3 : replaced some ReShade effects why cause some problems in some scene (this is probable the final version)

version 2 : improved the image and decreased the ReShade effects used, also modified the tweak to Engine.ini (added anti-stutter)

version 1 : first relase (the screenshots refer to this version, next versions are practically the same, change only saturation and refinements)
