About this mod
A performance friendly Reshade preset for enhancement of Dark Souls II original graphics
- Permissions and credits
PLEASE: If you downloaded and liked my preset, don't forget to return here and click on "ENDORSE"! That's my only request to you! I've spent time and work with it, so endorsing my mod you will be helping me and I will appreciate it so much. Thank you all!!
Drangleic Enhanced Reshade is a preset that will improve some details of the Dark Souls II original graphics with minimal or no performance impact. Several adjustments were made for a better color balance and for a better general look, removing a little the yellow tint from the game. It's intended to be used with Scholar of The First Sin version, but perhaps will work in the older version (DirectX9), feel free to try. Reshade resources used: Curves, DPX Cineon, LumaSharpen, Technicolor2, Tonemap and Vibrance.
- REQUIREMENTS
ONLY for NVIDIA users: If you are using HDMI conection, Its VERY IMPORTANT to set your Dynamic Range in full, in the graphics card control panel (see this image). For AMD Users: open AMD control panel, click on Gaming tab > Games >Global Graphics > Display > Pixel Format and set to: RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB).
- INSTALLATION STEPS
1- Download the latest Reshade version from https://reshade.me/ ;
2- Run the executable to install the Reshade ----> select the game or browse until find the DS2 "Game" folder (usually [......Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS II\Game] ) and click on DS2 .exe file ----> Next ----> select DirectX10/11/12 ----> Next ----> In the shaders collections window check Legacy Effects box ----> Next ----> wait the download of the shaders ---> Finish...
ATTENTION: The firewall from some antiviruses can block the download of shader files during Reshade installation (Message: "Unable to Finish Download"). If it is happening to you turn off the firewall temporalily and try to install Reshade again. In some cases even Windows can block the installation and you will need to check the options in Windows Warning to go on with the install. There is not any viruses in these files, its a false positive.
3- Download my mod from files tab of this page, and extract the file Phoenix.ini to your [.........Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS II\Game] folder ;
4- Run the game, use "Home" key to open Reshade menu, click on continue and at the bar near the top select the file "Phoenix.ini" (like the exemple in image bellow), so click on "continue" bars and "Finish" bar at the bottom of the menu, then "Home" key again to close it.
5- (Optional) If you want to set a hotkey to Enable/Disable the Reshade Effects you can do it on Reshade menu Settings tab (I use F3 key to turn ON/OFF all the effects, but it will not be activated by default after your installation, you will need to activate it by yourself if you want, cause Reshade does not allow to save it on the preset ini file which I shared here ).
* IMPORTANT: If you are using FPS monitoring or recording programs (like FRAPS, for exemple) the game (with Reshade installed) maybe will not open if these kind of software is already running. If you want to use a program like that, open the game FIRST , and during title screen press alt + tab, open the monitoring/recording software and go back to the game.
ENJOY AND PLEASE CLICK ON "ENDORSE" IF YOU LIKE THE PRESET!
- UNINSTALLATION :
To uninstall you need to delete: reshade - shaders folder, Phoenix.ini, dxgi.dll and any other file with "Reshade" in the name from [.........Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS II\Game] folder .
