About this mod
If you prefer vibrant environments with rich, golden sunsets, deep shadows, and crisp, luxuriant lighting, then this is the preset for you.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Download to breathe new life into Kenshi.
This ReShade preset adds color and contrast to make the world of Kenshi pop. It was configured while using the Project Genesis: World Overhaul mod, but works with vanilla as well.
CHANGELOG:
Version 1.4:
-Removed lumasharpen to further reduce contrast and jagged edges
Version 1.3:
-Adjusted lumasharpen to prevent excessive contrast for certain textures and some distant objects
Version 1.2:
-Slightly adjusted levels effect for bright environments
Version 1.1:
-Slightly tweaked vibrancy, cartoon, and levels effects to accommodate more diverse environments
-Adjusted lumasharpen to make font more clear
INSTALLATION:
1. Unzip the Balanced ReShade folder and place it into your Kenshi game folder where the kenshi_x64.exe file is located. For most folks playing on steam, it should be under: \Steam\steamapps\common\Kenshi
2. Download an open source software called ReShade to use this mod. It can be downloaded at: https://reshade.me/
3. Open ReShade.exe application file and select Kenshi from the list. I'm providing a few pics of the initial setup. Select Direct3D 10/11/12 when prompted. Feel free to install all effects on the next menu, but this mod only uses the following:
SweetFX by CeeJay.dk
-Cartoon.fx
-Curves.fx
-DPX.fx
-Levels.fx
-Vibrance.fx
Standalone shaders by brussell
-EyeAdaption.fx
4. Once done setting up the ReShade application, close it.
5. You should now get a prompt when opening Kenshi that ReShade is active.
6. Open ReShade in-game by pressing the "HOME" key and confirm the above effects are selected and that you are in "Performance Mode".
SIDE NOTE: The Project Genesis : World Overhaul mod is amazing. You can find it here or on steam workshop.

NOTICE: IF your game crashes when booting up, some folks have had success by renaming dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll in the game folder. If you still have issues, I would recommend making sure you have the latest version of ReShade, re-initializing the ReShade application, re-downloading the effects, and confirming the file path.
UN-INSTALLATION:
1. Delete Balanced ReShade folder from your Kenshi game folder
2. Delete ReShade.exe application file
