Changelogs
Version 1.2
Added "NumPad *" keybind to toggle MXAO for people having performance issues
Adjusted colours slightly
Introduction
This mod hasn't been updated in a long while, but it does still work if you want it. You will need to download an older version of ReShade (version 3.4.1) if you want to follow my instructions. Version 4.0 changed a lot and set-up/configuration may be slightly different.
Clear Hunter is a simple ReShade preset that removes the horrible bleached effect this engine has, sharpens textures, and adds MXAO. This makes the game appear to have better textures along with making the game more beautiful. Colours appear more vibrant and blacks appear deeper.

Notes
An effect called MXAO used in this ReShade (adds shadow to contact points of objects) can cause stuttering. I have now added the keybind "NumPad *" to toggle this effect. I believe it's due to the Z pre-pass trying to access the depth buffer at the same time as the ReShade. It can save, up to about 5, frames per second.
Currently MXAO is incompatible with SpecialK. So if using this with it making sure MXAO is off in the "shift + F2" menu.
