RESHADE SETUP

1) Download the latest version of Reshade at https://reshade.me/

2) During the reshade setup, select BG3 by going to the BG3/bin folder and select either A or B:

A. bg3.exe (if you run the game with Vulkan)
B. bg3_dx11.exe (if you use DirectX 11).
Example of Steam File Path -- C:>Program Files (x86)>Steam>steamapps>common>Baldurs Gate 3>bin

3. Choose the rendering API. Once again, choose from Vulkan or DirectX 11 (recommended).


4. Make sure the following effects packages are selected:

- Standard Effects
- SweetFX by CeeJay.dk

5. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the installation.


INSTALL THE PRESET

1. Download my file.
2. Drag the .ini file into your Reshade Presets folder.
3. Open BG3, wait for shaders to load, then press HOME on your keyboard to open Reshade; from the dropdown menu at the top select Cimmerian.
4. Adjust in-game Gamma settings (you might want to increase it a little bit).


RESHADE TIPS

1. Press the END key on your keyboard to quickly toggle the preset on and off.
2. If the Reshade menu is too small to read, click inside the window then hold CTRL on your keyboard and scroll up and down on your mouse to change the text size.
3. Feel free to tweak my settings and toggle things on and off to find what works best for your monitor or TV.
4. If you already have FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) or something similar turned on in your display settings, try disabling it in the reshade settings to see if it looks better without it.
