Beside subjective of personal taste/preference, I knew that so many type and models of Monitors/TVs out there. LCD/LED/OLED/QLED ; IPS/TN/VA... etc. And they have their own characteristic (from neutral colors to vibrant colors, high to low gamma/black levels/white point, etc).
Therefore I made a simple adjustment UI for this mod. You can adjust Dark Level, Light Intensity, Color Saturation, etc.by press END keyboard button to show-up Reshade UI. Just adjust the value to matching with your current screen (Monitor/TV) profile or fit with your taste/liking.
Turn down Light Intensity (to zero or less) and Increase the Dark Level value higher; if its may too bright in your screen. Turn down Dark Level if you feel the default shader value make your shadow area in your screen were too dark. Turn-down Color Saturation value if you feels the color is too strong for you, or increase it if you think the color is too weak.... and so on. ;)
Keep in mind this is a custom shader, not just a regular Reshade preset. With this custom shader You can create your own various presets based on this custom shader (by press "+" (plus symbol) button on the top right corner from UI).
The 3D Stereoscopic mode optimized for LG 3D Cinema Screen (e.g LG OLED 65E6P, passive 3D screen; top-bottom), for other 3D screen(e.g Sony and Samsung ~ active shutter 3D screen) you may change 3D stereoscopic format mode from top-bottom to side by side (SBS) from this UI to get better 3D Depth perception.
ps. I'm no longer supporting virtual 3D screen based on VR apps (e.g Virtual Desktop, Oculus Theater mode, Big Screen VR, etc.), this mod was only for native 3D screen only.
Tips: - If you are using DLSS and you see trailing/ghosting motion from some particle objects (e.g Falling leaves) like in this screenshot; then you may try to replace NVIDIA DLSS runtime file (nvngx_dlss.dll) that come with game (version 3.1.3) with the older NVIDIA DLSS runtime version 2.5.1. You can download it from https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/
Put that runtime file in this folder (backup the original file before apply it): \YourGameFolder\LOTF2\Plugins\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64\
Thanks for making an HDR version. Can't wait to try this out. Any idea how performance will be on a high-end rig (13900k/4090) without frame gen working?
Judging from how dark the black crush is in the relatively bright areas your screenshots were taken in, the screen will get jet black in many biomes beyond the first map. Just sayin! Having learned that as I progress through the game making my own presets, I've found a lighter touch with values is the way to go. What looks great in bright areas can be almost completely black in others.
You may adjust Dark Level and Light Intensity from UI. Lowering Dark Level from default (0.080) to somewhere 0.010 or even -0.023 (minus) to match you monitor/screen profile.
You can use Easy anti-cheat bypass tool (e.g tool that come from Fling's Trainer).
OR If you want to play this game online (without bypassing EAC) then please download patch that I've uploaded under "Miscellaneous"; extract and replace the old dxgi.dll with this new one. But you will loss 3D Stereoscopic function as this runtime will not give proper depth-buffer that need for 3D Stereoscopic processing.

what should i do?

it`s working well
