Permissions and credits
Back with a new update to 1.30!

How to use:

Download and Install REshade from the official site, link provided here! (must be version 3.0.5 or above, for the ''ini''-pack)

Follow the instructions from the REshade setup and select your witcher 3 ''exe'' (''witcher3.exe'')
Paste the files (inside the archive) into ''.../The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64'' (you know, where your witcher3.exe is located) and start your game
Inside your running game press ''shift+F2'' to open the REshade menu, select the ''.ini'' in the bar next to the +/- icons
Pressing ''shift+Pg Dn (Page Down)'' enables/disables the mod
Also for the best possible effect disable ingame AA, DoF and Motion Blur


Update log for 1.30:

-updated the presets for the newest reshade implementation

-added a new test version

Update log for 1.20:

-made the flora, especially the green bush a bit more vivid, other things stay the same though don't worry!

-also the distance fog is now less blue, which gives a more natural look for dense air in the distance

-also made a separate ''non-custom aa'' version of my mod, since I noticed that playing below 1080p it wouldn't look good

-also compatible and tested on windows 7/8/8.1/10

So that's it, have fun playing!


An all natural preset with small changes but great differences, the aim of this mod is to make the environments look generally more natural, not area specified but overall natural

Try it out and see for yourself!

What it does:

No overly saturated or desaturated colors which make the sunrise appear like the apocalypse is coming or someone stole the colors

No crushed blacks midday or in general

No radioactive sky or people a la vanilla oblivion with hdr on

No fancy filtering

Also with custom sharpening that makes the textures look less ''washed out'' but not so much that your eyes bleed

And custom Anti-Aliasing that AA-es better than the ingame option, bit with less performance cost (1-2fps max)

just all natural like outside

How to use (old Versions):

Paste the files (inside the archive) into ''.../The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64'' (you know, where your witcher3.exe is located) and start your game

Also for the best possible effect disable ingame sharpening and AA, and also activate ingame bloom

thats it!

also further modifications can be done through the ''SweetFX_settings.txt'' file found in ''.../The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64\SweetFX''

Problems/Issues:

This mod should work flawlessly on freshly intallled Witcher 3 (und a up-to-date version) folder but if you have any trouble after experimenting with other graphic enhancements mods try this:

Make sure you don't have some other custom .dlls from other graphic enhancement mods (for example ''d3d11.dll'' or ''d3d9.dll'' or something like that)

Second look out if you have some other files with the ending ''.fx'' that might caused you also some trouble

make sure to get rid of those files first and try adding my preset again

And last make sure to check out if something like ''fraps'', ''rivatuner'', ''msi afterbruner'' or similar monitoring/overclocking tools might cause this issue, witcher 3 in general is very sensible to crashes of you try to overclock your cpu/gpu

as always make sure your drivers and your witcher3 version are up-to-date

I hope this was helpful 


If you still experience any trouble, make sure to leave a comment ! 

Uninstalling:

Uninstalling is pretty easy you just delete the same exact files you added (meaning the ones inside the archive file)

or you could just delete the dxgi.dll file, but that wouldn't be a clean uninstall though 


Disclaimer:

I used a already modified version K-putt'e preset (done by some polish guy, sorry I really don't know his name since the whole site was polish) and modified it so much it became something different again. 

Also mod it, distribute it as much as you want, you don't need to credit me, It's all in the name of the community after all!

And happy playing!
