About This Mod/Fix

In «AweBag» I Try to Restore Everything that was Removed or Disabled in Release version and Fix Various Issues.

This is a «Pre‑Release», so Some Things may Not Work Correctly.

Testing and Working is Frozen...

Hi! In this Mod/Fix, I tried to Restore Absolutely EVERYTHING! But I Stumbled Over My Own Ambitions....

If You Have Strength and Desire, You Can Fix What I Couldn’t….

Known Issues:

· When Opening Profiler, DoF Temporarily Disappears and then Suddenly Returns.

· Maybe some "Crazy Shadows" from Trees, idk...

· I Don't Like DoF While Driving.

· When SuperSampling is Enabled: Profiler's Interface, CCTV Cameras, and Dynamic Headlight Shadows Break.

· Backup Recommended.

Note: TXAA is Disabled by Design due to a Number of Conflicts.

Key features

Added & Reworked:

· Dynamic Headlight Shadows – No Flicker.

· E3 Bloom.

· Light Pollution Effect (TheWorse).

· Environment Lighting (TheWorse).

· Lens Flare (SoloCreep).

· Increased Civilian Density.

· 4K Textures (Parallellines).

· Weather & Environment: Improved Rain System (Droplets React to Light) and Adjusted Fog Parameters.

· Detail: Adjusted LOD and Reflection Parameters.

Reworked & Fixed:

· Compatibility Issue with «Bad Blood» – Fixed.

· Missing Main Menu Text – Fixed.

· Headlight Flares Flickering – Fixed.

· TheWorse DoF – Reworked and Fixed.

· TheWorse Camera – Corrected, Comfortable Position Restored.

Installation

1. Unpack H-Patches Archive.

2. Open your Game Folder:

3. Copy Patch.dat and Patch.fat Files from H-Patches Folder, Overwrite when Prompted.

4. Back'up your Original Patch Files First – This is a «Pre-Release», Crashes are Possible.
