About this mod

SDR image in Diablo IV may look a bit washed out and this simple reshade preset should make it better. It adjusts contrast and saturation of the game to give it deeper shadows and slightly brighter highlights. Contrast is added by using a custom S-curve tweaked for Diablo.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Info:
Version 1.1 contains two presets. Soulstone shade preset is from the version 1.0 which just mainly adjusts contrast and saturation. Soulstone shade + preset has a new filter which adds more large-scale shadows and highlights.

If you want more vibrant colors, you can increase LUT chroma.


Versions:
Version 1.0
  • First release

Version 1.1
  • New Soulstone Shade + preset


Installation:
Step 1: Install Reshade (These instructions are for version 5.8.0).
  • Download Reshade installer from reshade.me and run it.
  • Select a game or application: Click 'Browse' and select 'Diablo IV.exe' from the installation folder'.
  • Select the rendering API: Choose 'DirectX 10/11/12' and click 'Next'.
  • Select preset to install: Click 'Skip'.
  • Select effect package to install: Clear all checkboxes (except Standard effects) and click 'Next'.
  • Close the installer.
Note: Reshade does not alter any game files. It just adds few files to your Diablo IV folder. If you want to uninstall it, just run the installer again, choose the game and click 'Uninstall'.

Step 2: Install the preset:
  • Download my preset.
  • Open the zip archive and extract all files and folders to Diablo IV installation folder. Default is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo IV'.

Step 3: Configure Reshade:
  • Start the game. You should see a message 'Reshade is installed succesfully'. Press 'Home' to start the tutorial'.
  • You should now see a Reshade overlay. Click 'Skip tutorial'.
  • Home tab should now be active. Click the arrows on the top of the screen to change the preset (Soustone Shade / Soulstone Shade +). 
  • Go to the settings tab, select 'Effect toggle key' and press 'End'. Now you can use End key to disable/enable Reshade effects while in the game.
  • Press 'Home' to close the overlay.
