1. If you cannot use your keyboard, disable Origin in-game.
2. If you're having trouble getting it to open, try renaming dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll.
3. This new bloom by prod80 is very heavy, so disable it if you're really having issues with performance. I think that is the main culprit.
4. And lastly, please look through the comments before posting a question. A lot of them are repeated throughout. I am no longer going to answer questions that are answered here or on the front page. After all the effort I put into this, I think I can expect a little on the user side.
2/12/20: Prod's shaders eventually meant that my shots were no longer representative of these presets, so I have revamped the page again. Hopefully I will not need to do that again anytime soon. It was a major tour de force, took quite a few days to get all the shots. I still need more of the Hinterlands, and I need a darker skinned character in the New Bleak preset as I had not decided to make that when I took the shots of Mother Giselle. Also should do Forbidden Oasis and the one-off areas that you go to for quests. I have included Halamshiral, also. There are now two versions of every preset except War Torn, one with prod's tint remover and one without. The tint remover sometimes alters blacks and whites a bit, and also it made my Realistic, Fantasy, Cinematic, and anything based on it too green. Though honestly now even without it those all look too green to me, so it might finally be time to alter those. Anyway I'm in the process of working on a new one, not sure when I'll have it done, but these updates are more than enough for now. I'm very happy with the presets at this point. Prod's shaders have totally revitalized them.
For those anyone who was frustrated with the bare af "installation instructions", here's how to install it.
1. Download the ReShade program and click on the Inquisition .exe.
2. Just uncheck all and proceed. Those .fx files are preconfigured settings but we're using this one's anyway.
3. Put the contents of preset on the root folder of your Inquistion folder.
4. Launch game and load a save. The ReShade have been installed succesfully if you see a hotbar above telling you. Press 'Home' key 'cause that's the default keybind for ReShade.
5. Now, here's the tricky part most people don't know about. After pressing Home, you'll see a panel. You'll see between the Arrow signs and + sign is a tab. Click that. That's where your preset is, for mine it was Cinematic with CinematicForTintRemover (I was frustrated how to install this at first. Turns out you install both presets and it gives an option [prod80 RemoveTint or somthing] for it to work.)
6. You could try clicking the .fx files or using different presets there for combinations you like.
Any idea what would be causing a CTD before the game even opens? I have no overlays of any kind and no recording software and I did everything as you said.
*Nvm got that figured out however now it seems the reshades aren't doing anything. Even when i Change one in game it doesn't seem to do anything
Thank you for explanation! Do you know by any chance why after selecting my preset .ini file in step 5 and then closing and reopening the ReShade options again the original ReShade.ini is in this panel instead of the custom preset .ini file? Even after the ReShade had somehow saved the preset I chose in that panel there were no changes in game.
This is still correct to this day, however if when you select your preset, the game crashes instantly, you need to change the "dxgi.dll"'s name to "d3d11.dll" - Without Quotations obviously.
Ok so, after reading the comments I’m still a bit confused about the installation. This is the current order I followed: Install latest Reshade -> select the first two options in the installer AND Prod’s shaders -> install your presets from the all-in-one file, but don’t install the shaders that come with it. Is that correct? Should I select Prod’s shaders in the installer or use the ones included with your file?
That's because there are 4 different "instructions" here, all saying to do different things - OP did not post ANY installation instructions, so everyone is just kind of fumbling around trying to figure it out.
Impossible to use w/ current installation instructions. I downloaded ReShade, immediately asks me what API DAI uses. I click the link to go look for it and it says "Direct 3D." None of the options available to me are Direct 3D. Now what? Just pick any? None of this is explained anywhere.
There are many more screens that require configuration with no explanation. OP says to put "their file" - what file? The folder? which folder? etc.
People should really spend some time to put understandable instructions on a lot of these mods. I can't imagine putting so much time and effort into something and then just skip any explanation of how to use it.
Is there a recommended version of reshade to use with this preset? I've been trying to use the current version of reshade 5.8.0 and the game CTDs the second I select one of these profiles. I tried reverting back to reshade 4.5.4 but it didn't seem to load the profile at all.
Just beautiful! Outstanding...! I used some more mods to enhance graphics a bit and added your fantasy preset... This doesnt look like 9 years old game anymore. Thank you very much. Endorsed. :)
Amazing presets it really transforms the way the game looks! My favorite is realistic TR however like you said in the description TR can have some issues, I only notice these issues in cutscenes like strange flickering and color changing (specifically when there is movement in the scene, doesn't seem to happen when everyone is still) is there anything I can do on my end to stop this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance =)
So I downloaded and got cinematic to work but then I got realistic, fantasy, and sylvan but cant get those options to shop up. Anyone know a fix? Also which of these setting would work best with the springuision and Lilac's Flora Overhaul mods? The cinematic present is pulling a lot of the color out of the mods.
