About this mod
Not a cinematic or realistic preset, but if you don't like the dull look of the original or just want to try something new, this might be the preset for you. Created while playing through the game. 100% playable - no black crushs or overglow of bright scenes.

Basic and Extended preset
Both presets are configured identically and the extended version additionally includes Global Illumination (AlucardDH) effect.
Installation
Download and extract my file. Copy the preset files over to the Dishonored.exe installation directory (e.g. for Steam: ..steamapps\common\Dishonored\Binaries\Win32\)
Download ReShade here: reshade.me
Install ReShade for Dishonored.exe
- Choose Direct3D9 as rendering API.
- Choose fuschelfu_Dishonored_V7 (Basic) or (Extended).ini preset. The necessary packages will be selected automatically.
Start the game and open the ReShade Interface with the Home / POS 1 key.
Do the tutorial if you are not familiar with how ReShade works
Configure Global preprocessor definitions:
- Open the ReShade interface, click on the Add-Ons tab and select the following (see screenshot):
- Use aspect ratio heuristics
- Copy depth buffer before clear operations
- Choose last clear operation with high number of draw calls
- Click on the Home tab and select 'Edit global preprocessor definitions' and for 'Reshade Depth Input is reversed' set it to 0. Click anywhere outside the box to close it.
Verify Depth buffer access - see screenshot
To verify depth buffer access enable DisplayDepth shader. Output should look as in linked screenshot. Deactive the shader afterwards.
Uninstallation
Follow the same steps as with the installation and after selecting Dishonored choose Uninstall.
I'll test my preset with future releases of ReShade from time to time and will update as needed. In the meantime or in case of any incompatibilies you can get all ReShade releases here: ReShade Repository
You can also modify the URL of the official download, if you know the exact version you want to download. Just change the X chars accordingly: https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_X.X.X.exe
