📋 About This Mod

A modest graphics upgrade for The Witcher 2.

REFORGED ENB

for The Witcher 2 is a modest graphics upgrade which tackles problems I had with the game such as its copious clipped highlights (that are then turned grey by the vignette), overpowering bloom and occasional banding.

FEATURES

  • []High quality replacement bloom.

    []Neutral tonemapping to raise the whitepoint and reduce the amount of clipping in the highlights substantially.

    []Modified and fixed vignette, using the same vignette code as the original but with a broken feature fixed so it no longer makes highlights grey and modified to be round because I get annoyed when vignettes are stretched by your screen's aspect ratio.

    []Cheeky chromatic aberration hiding out in out of focus areas to build on The Witcher 2's fantasy-esque aesthetic (and to make up for the reduced contrast from the tonemapping).

    []Dithering to fix banding which was occasionally visible in the sky.

    []Leaves the game's original color correction fully in tact (this actually requires some work, which is why it is a feature and is not necessarily the case for every The Witcher 2 enb).

    INSTALLATION

    • []Download the The Witcher 2 ENB binaries from the ENB website and extract and copy the contents of the "WrapperVersion" folder into your The Witcher 2 installation directory, so that the enb related files end up in your "bin" folder in your The Witcher 2 installation directory.

      []Download the Reforged ENB file and extract it, and copy the contents of the "Main Files" folder into your The Witcher 2 installation directory the same way.

      []Optionally, copy the contents of any of the optional file folders (there's currently only one) into your installation directory, and accept any overwrites.

      []Make sure anti-aliasing in your The Witcher 2 graphics settings is enabled.

      The reforgedsettings.fxh file is quite well documented and you can consider customizing it, I added a lot of features I ended up not using that you might find to your liking (including disabling the game's original color correction altogether and some fancier tonemapping curves to take its place).
