About this mod

I went for A lightweight ReShade preset that enhances lighting, contrast, and clarity without over-stylizing the game. Built for Days Gone with a natural look in mind—no excessive color filters or bloom. Just clean, subtle improvements

TrueLite – A ReShade Preset for Days Gone
Created by: TanGenT

Released version 2.0. This version has been edited to fit better with the new remaster update. The contrast, colors, and lighting have all been enhanced. Hope you find this visually pleasing. I tried to keep performance hits as low as possible. With performance mode enabled on reshade, I see an average of about 10 FPS drop (results may very based on your hardware and color settings on your monitor). Thank you for checking out this shader, if you enjoy it, please feel free to endorse!

Description:
TrueLite is a custom ReShade preset built to improve Days Gone's visuals without overloading your screen with unnecessary effects or filters. My goal was to brighten up the image, make colors pop a bit more, and add a subtle level of clarity—without over-saturating, blowing out highlights, or tanking your framerate.

I fine-tuned this preset on an ultrawide 1440p monitor paired with a
GeForce RTX 5080, so depending on your setup, you may want to tweak a few settings for your personal preference or performance targets.

During testing, I saw an average
5–10 FPS drop, but I kept things as light as possible to make sure it stayed playable even on low-mid-and-high-end machines. This isn’t some overly cinematic preset with heavy bloom and artificial color grading—it’s meant to keep the game looking like Days Gone, just with a cleaner, more vibrant presentation.

If you're looking for a visual upgrade that respects the original art direction and doesn't fry your GPU,
TrueLite might be what you're after.
Performance Impact:
  • Mild: 5–10 FPS drop on average, depending on your hardware
  • Easily tweakable—feel free to adjust any values to better suit your rig
Installation:
Installation instructions are included in the README.txt inside the zip.
If this is your first time using ReShade, follow Step 1 in the readme.
Hope you enjoy it!
