About this mod

"What? ENB for The Witcher 2? Blasphemy! The game already looks amazing!" Well, I'd disagree. Each to their own. Requiem ENB has it's own tweaked home-made Bloom effects, better AA, and a much more natural color pallete/scheme for better visuals.

Permissions and credits



DESCRIPTION~

This ENB was created to enhance the overall visuals of The Witcher 2. Yes, the game do sometimes looks amazing at max. However, there are some flaws that I wasn't fond of, so I decided to create this. This ENB is aimed to make a combination of Fantasy and Reality, with a touch of Cinematic experience. There is no where this ENB preset is near "Realistic", more of a "Fantasy-reality" feel to it. Oh and was that enough for a description? Well, let's move on shall we?



+ Better Anti-Aliasing, utilizing SweetFX's LumaSharpen to further improve in-game's AA.
+ Removed color palletes/tints from certain places/time.
+ Enhanced and tweaked contrast, vibrancy and saturation.
+ Better and natural lighting.
+ Improved interior lighting.
+ Tweaked for a better and natural color scheme.
+ All new, handcrafted and tweaked Bloom settings that replaces in-game default Bloom.
+ Lens flare.
+ Sharper and softer texture look.
+ Fantasy-reality look.
+ Better lighting at different weathers.
+ Better looking fogs.

*INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS*

1- Firstly,

 - After downloading, just extract/place it anywhere on your desktop.

-Then, ONLY COPY d3d9.dll and paste it into [Computer > (D:) > [Other stuff, next are probably either SteamApps > Common OR GoG.com > The Witcher 2 > bin] 

2- Next, download Requiem ENB. Extract it on your desktop as well for convenience.

3- Find the correct folder path/place at where you've installed The Witcher 2's files. Usually its Computer > (D:) > [Other stuff, next are probably either SteamApps > Common OR GoG.com > The Witcher 2 > bin]

4- Found that [ The Witcher 2 > bin ] folder path yet? Done? Good. Now copy and paste all the files from Requiem ENB into [ The Witcher 2 > bin ].

5- Launch TW2's launcher. MAKE SURE ANTI-ALIASING IS ON. VIGNETTE IS ON. AND UBERSAMPLING IS OFF. Failure to do said instruction will cause the ENB fail to work properly. 

6- FOR STEAM USERS ONLY. Turn off Steam Overlay as it causes some glitch that messes up the ENB.

7- That's it, done.




+ISSUES :(

- Distance fog colors conflicts with water shader/color. This will cause the water to look weird at certain distances...or maybe that's how it's supposed to look like?
