Enhance your Elden Ring experience and atmosphere with this authentic ReShade approach. 
Removes the grey, washed out palette of the original game without overdoing it or affecting your performance. 





Description


Want a ReShade that doesn't kill your fps?  Based off my popular Incandescent ReShade for Dark Souls III this ReShade will remove the grey, washed out colours of the vanilla game, without over saturating or adding unnecessary effects so it still feels the same, giving you the full intended definitive Elden Ring experience. 

Tombs, nights, and shadows will be darker, and flames, candles, as well as torches will emit more light enhancing the 
over-all atmosphere.




Installation

Installing ReShade
1. Download the ReShade installer from https://reshade.me/
2. Run the installer, and select "Click here to select a game and manage its ReShade installation".
3. Wait for the list of .exe's to populate, or find the Elden Ring.exe manually using the "Browse" button to the bottom right.
4. Click on "Direct3D 10/11/12".
5. From the list which pops up select only "SweetFX by CeeJay.dk", and "Legacy standard effects" (to be safe or simply if you'd like to play around with them yourself, you can enable all effects throughout the installation).
6. Ensure all effects are ticked in the following windows by pressing "Check all", and click "OK". Do this multiple times for each window that pops up. ReShade is now installed.
7. Or, follow this youtube guide, ensuring "SweetFX by CeeJay.dk", and "Legacy standard effects" are selected

Installing Obanons Incandescent ReShade - Erdtree Edition preset
1. Download "Obanons Incandescent ReShade - Erdtree Edition" through NexusMods.
2. Un-zip "Obanons Incandescent ReShade - Erdtree Edition", and the "reshade-shaders" folder to your "Game" folder--the same location your Ellden Ring.exe is found. Overwrite if prompted.
3. Launch the game and if you installed ReShade correctly using the steps above, you'll find a notification in the top left of your screen.
4. When ReShade tells you it has loaded successfully, open the configuration menu using Shift+F2, or Home.
5. Below the "Home", "Settings", "Statistics" etc. tabs click on the long bar next to the "< >" arrows, and ensure "Obanons Incandescent ReShade - SDT Edition" is selected from the drop-down menu.
6. Adjust your in-game brightness settings to taste. I'd recommend travelling to a dark location in-game to adjust accordingly. 
7. Use Scroll-Lock on your keyboard to toggle the ReShade on and off. This hotkey can be adjusted using the configuration overlay.




Optional, but highly recommended 
Your experience with this mod will vary drastically depending on your monitor. As such, I'd highly recommend taking the time to calibrate your monitors colour and gamma settings using a website such as http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test
It is a time consuming manual process, but getting it right is something that will improve your gaming and media consumption experiences across the board. 
If you've gone out of your way to purchase an expensive high quality monitor, do your wallet and eyes a favour by taking the time to get the most out of your investment. This is 
an overlooked but valuable step, as often two identical monitors have the potential to look different side-by-side out of the factory.
Personally after doing this myself, I went from changing my in-game brightness settings from 3 to 5.
