This mod provides Reshade preset (configuration file) for Baldur's Gate 3 game. The color balance is fixed and provides more natural looking and immersive gameplay. It is fast and simple. You will not notice any fps drops.
Shaders used:
Performance: 0.066 ms CPU, 0.090 ms GPU
Installation: Download the latest reshade program (ver 5.9.2 if the newest is not working) and install with all shaders selected. Extract downloaded preset archive to your exe folder. Select "Simple Natural Colors v1.3.0.ini" in reshade overlay.
Set depth buffer parameters:
1) Set DepthBuffer on and check: "Use aspect ratio heuristics" and "Copy depth buffer before clear operations"
2) "Home" tab -> Edit global preprocessor definitions -> RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED set to 1 (If you don't see it than disable temporarily preformance mode at the bottom)
Detailed for those who are not familiar with reshade:
P.S. It is hard to create one universal preset for all the scenes in the game. It took days to play and adjust balance. This preset is the most precious that I got. So Endorsement and feedback is apreciated.
