Dilla's Battlefield 2042 CAS and Color Reshade
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added colourfulness, unsharp, lightroom and cas.
Almost no fps / performance loss. Red, green and aqua glow reduced.
Color reshade made for 8 bit monitors without HDR.
If your game is grey and milkwhite, take a look at the screenshots please.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing this game on a 60 hz monitor the game should be colorfull and probably no need for a color reshade ! This reshade is made for 144 hz monitors using standard monitor mode, where some games are grey and have no colors, maybe the icc monitor profile get ignored ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT USING THIS IN MULTIPLAYER DISCLAIMER:
I've played some multiplayer with this reshade file since beta time and i am not banned !

But if they change their mind and start banning reshade users
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAN !

YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, THANK YOU.
SINCE THEY DIDN'T BAN ANYONE IN THE LAST BATTLEFIELD MULTIPLAYER GAMES FOR USING RESHADE
THEY SHOULD ALLOW THIS IN BF 2042 TOO, BUT WE NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.

Note about reshade download: Do not download the one with full addon support.
Download the one without full addon support because,
the one you can download with limited addon support but signed to be allowed in multiplayer games and the other is
one with full addon support and no depth buffer blockage for offline games, it will probably get you banned in online games.

Effects added in reshade V1:
Cas: sharpening
Colourfulness: adds color, value 0.32

Effects added in reshade V2:
Cas: sharpening
Colourfulness: adds color, value 0.32
Unsharp: better visibility, texture colors and vignette removal
Lightroom: Menu color glow, red, green and aqua reduced, using lightroom exposure minus value -0,900

Note about the reduced ui glow:
On red, green and aqua colors. You can open the reshade window and if you put the lightroom effect one slot higher above the color shader, then the glow should come back slightly. Put it up and down one slot a few times, you can see the glow in those 3 colors will change. Put the lightroom shader below the color shader and the glow should be less.

*Re uploaded both files V1 and V2 with dither disabled. Disable dither if you downloaded this in the first few days here. Dither inserts an invisible screen to get better Gradient banding (grey tones) only visible with 7 or less backbuffer bits set. With 8 or 10 bit backbuffer set, the inserted dither screen is not visible but still exhausting to look at. Just disable dither (uncheck) when you see it is on.

Note about the screenshots being more red colored:
I'm using bluelight filter on my monitor so this should be visible in the screenshots too. Less blue color means there will be more red color in the frame.
So keep in mind testing the reshade with bluelight filter on and off, or at least use a low value.

Install: Copy the reshade file into the game folder where the game is installed \EA games\Battlefield 2042. Your install folder may be different, double check.
When installing Reshade into the game folder, click on unselect all and then select all shader.

Recommended reshade settings:

1st - Click on "Load only enabled effects" in the settings menu.

2nd - Don't use "performance mode". I'm always recommending to use perfomance mode, but in this game my aim feels off when it is on and i don't know why it is doing this, it's just a feeling im not sure about it. I am loosing mouse precision when perfomance mode is on, im clueless how this can happen. Test it for yourself, performance mode on and off and pay very much attention to your mouse movement and aim, if anything is changing at all. If you don't have this problem then im gonna recommend to use performance mode !

3rd - Hotkeys
Pos1: standard hotkey to enable the reshade menu ingame
Insert: toggle reshade on and off hotkey for comparing the difference
Print: for screenshots will be inside the game folder
Page up: reload the ini file
Page down: performance mode on and off
End: for choosing the next preset

Recommended graphic settings: Choose ultra settings, but disable motion blur, vignette and chromatic aberation. More settings look at the screenshots.

*This reshade was created without a 10 bit HDR monitor, so maybe this won't work on HDR or OLED monitors.

*Important note to everyone who get to feel a headache or eyes hurting, you should disable cas and use lower color values because these effects can create pixel corruption by oversharpening the picture. Double cas is heavy on the eyes (jagginess) but if you use only one cas ingame or in reshade, it should be fine.
So be carefull when using sharpening and color effects, thank you.

*Feel free to change my reshade settings and upload your own reshade.

If you are a game developer: This is the kind of graphics what gamers realy want. Full colors, straight textures and clear sight ! Look at the screenshots or test the reshade file by yourself. When you create a new game think about putting some kind of colorcorrection into your new developed game for 8 bit monitors or add something like this in the settings menu for being able to toggle the colorcorrection on and off.
