About this mod

This is a very basic and very subtle shader that adds a bit of film grain (for that gritter look) and a bit of bloom (for that glow). It also uses AMD CAS for sharpening, so disable in-game sharpening.

Turn off any in-game sharpening (or turn off CAS sharpening in this reshade preset [double sharpening is the devil's work]). This also works best with DLSS set to "quality", and I think it makes it look about as good as DLAA.

Note, the film grain looks stronger in the screenshots than it does in-game because the grain pattern changes every frame. This gives the game a cinematic look while also adding texture, especially in the bokeh (background blur). You can toggle it off or turn it down if you like a smoother look.

First, install ReShade. When prompted, use my ini file: sssss.ini (pronounced like a snake... hissing).


FX used:
  • AMD FidelityFX CAS: Probably the best sharpening fx.
  • Film Grain: I really like the vanilla look of the game, so I want to keep that as much as possible. However, I really like taking screenshots and love a small amount of film grain for that extra bit of grit.
  • Magic Bloom: This effect hard to notice in daylight. However, at night, you will see the glow.
  • Technicolor: This is also very subtle, but it works well with the film grain.
  • Vibrance: Technicolor can wash things out a bit, so this is there to compensate, so we keep the vibrant look of the vanilla colors.
  • DOF (MartMcFlyDOF): This is off by default, but it's great for screenshots. I have moved it to the top of the list (just below the other fx files), so it's easy to find. I turn this on whenever it's time to do a little screen sniping. I'm using auto-focus, so the focus will be on whatever your mouse is pointing at. This works great when you toggle the ui off (you can set a hotkey for this in-game).

This is version 0.5. I'll add new versions if I make any.
