FAQ

What is ReShade?
ReShade is a small program for gamers to edit the visuals of games to their liking, I'm sharing my settings with you to easily download and play the game.

Do I need to change any video settings to use the mod?
You may find the in-game brightness slider needs changing (usually brighter) ignoring the reference image above the slider. Furthermore, if your hardware can take the load, then install the High-Resolution Texture Pack DLC and change the Texture Quality to Ultra as well as all other video settings.

Will it cause lag or slow down my game?
As lightweight as I've attempted to make the mod, it may impact your fps. This is mostly dependent on your hardware. I've spent many hours on this trying to find the best between quality and performance, so there's not much more to do if you're lagging other than lower your graphical settings in-game. You can try enabling “Performance Mode” on ReShade, but I find it actually doesn't make a difference.

Help! The game still looks the same?
It's likely ReShade hasn't installed with the selected Tolkien's Vision profile. Relaunch the ReShade installer you downloaded and configure the preset path to the “Tolkien's Vision.ini” file in your “x64” folder.

Help! ReShade says “texture failed to load, V__PandaFX___NoiseTex.”
Don't worry, this is normal, it's from an unused effect and path.

What if I don't like it and want to uninstall it?
It's very easy to uninstall and remove from your PC.

• Locate the game directory, then open the “x64” folder.
• Delete the “reshade-shaders” folder as well as “Tolkien.ini, “dxgi.dll”, “dxgi.log”, “Reshade.ini” and “ReshadeGUI.ini”
