About this mod

0 performance loss, much better colors without being overbearing, and darker nights within reason

My custom SweetFX. It's largely a combination of two presets: SharpFX by lolilolil (found here), and the now dead MGS Remix by maxold90. I really enjoyed the way SharpFX looked, but I wanted to try out the Remix. The Remix used an old version of SweetFX that I couldn't get working, so I got the bright idea copy/paste what I could of the Remix into SharpFX. It looks better than either of them did by themselves, granted I used an old version of SharpFX

Now I'm very performance minded, so most performance intensive options are off. The few thatare on aren't heavily used, so performance impact is minimal. I run a fairly modest rig (AMD FX-4200, MSI R9 280 3GB, 8GB DDR3 1666mhz RAM, and a horribly made motherboard that chokes everything), and I see absolutely zero performance loss. I've used MSI Afterburner to measure performance too, so unless you're playing on a toaster, I highly doubt you'll see any difference in performance.

Installation: Make sure you delete any and all other SweetFX and/or ReShade files. If you haven't installed any before, don't worry about that. Drag and drop all the files from LO into the folder with your exe

When SweetFX starts up, there will be two yellow warning messages. Ignore them; they're unimportant


If this preset is too saturated for your tastes, I'd recommend SharpFX. 4.1 is gorgeous, and the colors are more subdued, but not dull.
