📋 About This Mod
One thing that always stood out to me when using Ray-Traced Reflections was the color mismatch in the water at night with the sky. This mod fixes just that. This mod does not fix the blue hue on armors or other RT issues. It is also compatible with other Ray-Tracing mods that improve or optimize RT in their own way. This one has no performance impact.
Installation:
1. Download the file;
2. Extract it using the unpacker of your choosing (eg. winzip/winrar/7zip);
3. Drag and drop the "modRTWaterReflectionColorFix" folder into your "/The Witcher 3/Mods/" directory (if it doesn't exist, create it);
4. Install Shared Imports;
5. Play the game.
Uninstallation:
1. Remove the "modRTWaterReflectionColorFix" folder from the Mods folder.
