📋 About This Mod
Introduction
This Preset/Reshade look for the intention of improving the lighting of the game making it brighter in open terrain and more darkness indoors without to exaggerate this effect. The colors have been retouched with the intention of having one feeling of greater regarding as seen in the trailers prior to the departure of the game, we will see more dark and desaturated shades giving one result more than beautiful
I have included three versions of my mod so each one can choose to your liking: 1.- Ultimate Engine: It is the original mod which belongs to the description above. Cold colors, too bloom and sharpen. 2.- Ultimate Engine - STLM Edition: In this version the mod use warmer colors, less bloom and a less intense lighting (darkness is more clear)
3.- Ultimate Engine - STLM + Dof Edition: Same version of STLM Edition but with DoF enabled. This version have a perfonmance impact of 5-10 Fps. Only recommended for Very High-End PC's.
