Beside subjective of personal taste/preference, I knew that so many type and models of Monitors/TVs out there. LCD/LED/OLED/QLED ; IPS/TN/VA... etc.And they have their own characteristic (from neutral colors to vibrant colors, high to low gamma/black levels/white point, etc).
Therefore I made a simple adjustment UI for this mod. You can adjust Dark Level, Light Intensity, Color Saturation, etc.by press END keyboard button to show-up Reshade UI. Just adjust the value to matching with your current screen (Monitor/TV) profile or fit with your taste/liking.
Turn down Light Intensity (to zero or less) and Increase the Dark Level value higher; if its may too bright in your screen. Turn-down Color Saturation value if you feels the color is too strong for you, or increase it if you think the color is too weak.... and so on. ;)
Keep in mind this is a custom shader, not just a regular Reshade preset. With this custom shader You can create your own various presets based on this custom shader (by press "+" (plus symbol) button on the top right corner from UI).
The 3D Stereoscopic mode optimized for LG 3D Cinema Screen (e.g LG OLED 65E6P, passive 3D screen; top-bottom), for other 3D screen (e.g Sony and Samsung ~ active shutter 3D screen) you may change 3D stereoscopic format mode from top-bottom to side by side (SBS) from this UI to get better 3D Depth perception.
ps. I'm no longer supporting virtual 3D screen based on VR apps (Virtual Desktop, Oculus Theater mode, Big Screen, etc.), this mod was only for native 3D screen only. Since now there are so many VR HMD in market with their own FOV, and each user has their own IPD value for their eyes in VR. So difficult to estimated the ideal value for it to avoid "cross talks" effects aka. ghosting. Also, the newer games already demand very high of GPU resource, if you're using virtual 3D screen (with VR HMD) then the "super-sampling" from your VR (SteamVR and Oculus-Home) already taken a huge GPU resource and would make bad impact to game performance.
Happy gaming and cheers,

tips: - if you cannot save your own shader settings value to default/example preset file (crubino.ini) ~ caused by Windows user-access right restricted (it may return with red text message said that you cannot writing data to the current path; then you may create a new preset by preset + (plus) button on the top right corner from UI. Name it with your prefer file name (e.g Deadspace.ini). And then adjust the shader value (Dark Level, Light Intensity, Color Saturation, Stereoscopic mode, etc.) as you like it. After that; you may delete my example preset file (crubino.ini) if you don't need it anymore.
- If you are using NVIDIA RTX card and pursuit for high fps, I recommended to using DLSS; and replace DLSS run time file (nvngx_dlss.dll) with DLSS 2.5.1 version to replace DLSS file that come with game installer (The game originally is using an older DLSS version 2.5.0). This new DLSS 2.5.1 has better image quality (no ghosting effects) and more stable performance. You can get the newer DLSS update file from TechPowerUp (TPU) website: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/
- if you are using mid-end to high-end NVIDIA RTX card (RTX 3080 12GB or more) with supported main-board BIOS and CPU, You can force to activate RESIZEBAR with NVProfileInspector to gain more fps/performance. Link to NVProfileInspector tool : https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases (note : The Dead Space 2023 profile only available with the latest GeForce Driver (528.24 or newer); and do not activate RESIZEBAR if you are playing the game at 4K res. but your GPU have less than 12GB VRAM ~ although your will get higher fps, but in some case it can cause stuttering/unstable fps)
In case anyone wants to adjust sharpness, I edited #define sharp_clamp, #define sharp_strength, and #define show_sharpen to make them 0, which can be found in the DeadSpace2023.fx file. Just open it with notepad and edit those lines. Worked for me.
Does not work with latest version of Dead Space. I installed the game yesterday, this mode not only makes the game soundless (no audio at all), but the image is all messed up, very bad.
I didn't like the results, how do I uninstall this? I tried deleting the files/dirs that I copied over but that still left me with the ReShade app coming up. I assume that I can just nuke the game folder and reinstall (quite the annoyance) but I don't understand why you don't provide at least an outline for uninstalling with out unsavory leftovers or having to nuke the game folder
