Install Instructions---

NEW INSTALL FOR LATEST PRESETS (DO NOT USE VORTEX TO INSTALL)

-Drag and drop files into main Bannerlord folder where DXGI.DLL is located. 


OLD INSTALLMETHOD DO NOT USE VORTEX, NMM OR BASE RESHADE INSTALLER TO INSTALL:


*Important* make sure to uninstall any current reshade version that is being used. The one I use is a mix of 4.5.4 and 4.6 Reshade which is why the ini was causing issues for people simply using Reshade 4.6. 

1. Download and extract the archive to this folder: \Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client
2. Run the game and hit the  "Home" key on your keyboard,  then select which preset you would like to use from the drop down. as shown in the picture below:

If Reshade does not run on game start, you may need to rename the dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH:

Dros Lighting (this uses its own hook DLL injector so it overwrites Reshades DLL)








How to uninstall:

Simply remove these files

Reshade-Shaders folder
dxgi.dll
dxgi.log
and any reshade INI's

These are the only files that are installed with Reshade.



New "Ratthews Exclusive Ray Tracing" Preset has been added!

THIS WILL WORK ON NON RTX CARDS. IT IS NOT "TRUE" RAY TRACING

This new preset utilizes a special shader which was developed by Marty Mcfly who does a ton of reshade shaders and there are already a few in the other presets. However He has developed a Psuedo ray tracing shader that simulates what real ray tracing would be. I have created my own preset with this. The catch is you have to pay for the shader. This is through his patreon, its a great way to support the true power horses for reshade that give us all the tech we get to make our games look great

In order to use this preset you need to enlist in the beta through his patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg/posts
After that, you will get access to his discord and need to download the beta RTGI. All you need to do is drag and drop the shader and texture folder into the "reshade-shaders" folder,
After you do this, download the optional "Ratthew Exclusive" presets and drag and drop them where your reshade inis are placed (same area you drop the OG ratthews reshade files). Then select them from the drop down ingame

Thats it! Then youll get your game looking as good as this!

 

















If you need any help feel free to make a post and I am happy to assist. If anyone would like to make a video of the mod just to showcase or do a before and after id love to include it on the page :)

Make sure that you set your preset to "Performance Mode" this may add 5-10 FPS back. Do this by pressing "Home" this will open up the reshade config menu and at the bottom right there is a checkbox for performance mode. It will reload the preset in performance mode. 

In this menu you can pick and choose what options you want. If you dont want the DoF (Depth of Field) at all then all you need to do is unselect it. 

I have set the toggle effects key to the down arrow just FYI



If anyone has any suggestions I am happy to oblige or improve the preset.
