Western Movie Look is a preset made with only few resources from Reshade Framework, with a custom made LUT and some details enhancements. It will make you have the feeling of an old western movie while playing Red Dead Redemption 2. The performance impact should be minimal or none, depending on the PC specs.

- INSTALLATION STEPS
1- Download the latest Reshade version from https://reshade.me/ ;
2- ( EXTREME ATTENTION IN THIS STEP ) - For DirectX 12 API: Run the executable to install the Reshade and click to select the game ----> Your system will be scanned for the games installed, so select Red Dead Redemption 2 (OR if it does not appear in the list browse until find the game executable .exe and click on it ) ----> Next ----> select DirectX10/11/12 ----> Next ----> In the shaders collections window check Legacy Effects box ----> Next ----> wait the download of the shaders ---> Finish...
- For Vulkan API: The same for DirectX 12 mentioned above, the only difference is that you need to check the box Vulkan instead DirectX10/11/12 .
WARNING: The firewall from some antiviruses can block the download of shader files during Reshade installation (Message: "Unable to Finish Download"). If it is happening to you turn off the firewall temporalily
and try to install Reshade again. In some cases even Windows can block the installation and you will need to check the options in Windows Warning to go on with the install. There is not any viruses in these
files, its a false positive.
3- Download my mod from files tab of this page, and extract the content to the game folder, click on YES to overwrite when prompted;
4- Run the game, use "home" key to open Reshade menu, click on continue and at the bar near the top select the file "Phoenix.ini" (like the exemple in image bellow) , so click on "continue" bars and "Finish" bar at the bottom of the menu, then "home" key again to close it. NOTE: If you dont like the black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen, uncheck Border box in the Reshade menu (home tab).

6- (Optional) If you want to set a hotkey to Enable/Disable the Reshade Effects you can do it on Reshade menu Settings tab > Effects Toggle Key (I use F3 key to turn ON/OFF all the effects)
ENJOY AND PLEASE CLICK ON "ENDORSE" IF YOU LIKE THE PRESET!
- UNINSTALLATION :
- DirectX12 API users : To uninstall you need to delete: reshade - shaders folder, Phoenix.ini, dxgi.dll and any other file with "Reshade" in the name from RDR2 folder.
