About this mod
A remaster of the Eclipse ReShade aiming for improved visuals and performance.
- Permissions and credits
My previous ReShade preset for Dark Souls 3 aimed at improving visuals with no regard for performance leading to it making the game way more demanding than it should be. In this version I aim to correct this and improve the visuals at the same time. I replaced most of the effects which had to do with color with a LUT and I also replaced MagicBloom and MatsoDOF with PirateBloom and MartyMcFlyDOF, respectively. These changes led to a MASSIVE(35fps) increase in performance.With this preset I also aimed at enhancing the dark areas of the game. Large indoor or underground areas illuminated by a small number of candles or torches are now actually dark, as you would expect, and areas without any light sources will require you to use your torch for light which, in my opinion, adds some immersion.
