Thank you for setting this up as it will save my eyes a lot of straining.
Half a second after the game options appear on screen (single player, multiplayer, options, quit etc), the screen goes completely black, none of the game option can be selected, and I have to end task the game.
You just saved me from wasting my time
I attached an image with setup
Game version Original with applied update: Sons.Of.The.Forest.Update.v48738-RUNE
Answer found.
Lessons learned about Nexus Mods!!!
All went well during installation, choosing the default options by Reshade (latest version 5.7.0), I do have the menu (start screen with the static helicopter), and the tutorial appearing top left. Going through it, "Let there be light.ini" is correctly selected and is the only one.
But then. when I leave the tutorial for going back to the starting menu screen and loading a game, I instantly get a black screen with little parts of grey (print screen below), moving my mouse, I have an oversized prompt crossing my screen, telling me that I do see something, and it is perhaps only part of a wider screen - I don't know -... Alt+F4 is the only solution.
Question 1: is there something in the "Let there be light.ini" I should edit, for this kind of 32:9 format? (or would it be something else?)
Question 2: how is it possible to unload ReShade and revert to the normal game (so then I can try with other resolutions...)?
Thank you!
1.) I wouldn't think so but I have only ever used 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratio so I can't speak to that. I am aware some games do not play nice with widescreen but you'll have to research further.
2.) To uninstall reshade you can just open the same .exe you used to install it, select SOTF and DX 10/11/12 again and it then you will see an uninstall option, follow the prompts from there.
No, strictly no other mod than yours.
1: Now, I have managed to have it working, but it requires many game launches + Alt/F4 - relaunch + etc... A cycle that I have to do sometimes 8 or 10 times before the screen seems to be stabilized and I can access the menu...
It makes me wonder if the reshader process requires time for loading in the background before having my AMD GPU driver catching it, orv the game "digesting" it...
BUT, I did notice that you must NOT touch the mouse (and of course keyboard) as it will always fail the launch. Again, it really looks like a delayed process, even if my hardware is rather high (AMD Ryzen 9 5950 X + AMD Radeon 6900XT + 128 Gb Ram, all on FreeSync Pro and FSR enabled.)
It works, but with patience, and once you do not exit the game, no crash !
2. Thank you for the tip. It works perfectly like this, especially after adding a shortcut to the reshader : it allows on-the-fly changes and it is much user-friendly than I thought. I used also a workaround by renaming the "reshade-shaders" folder created in my Steam Game SoTF folder.
Here is a printscreen showing that, when it works on a 32:9 5120x1440, it works! :

I've managed to set a hotkey to toggle the mod on/off, and here's how it goes:
Sometimes, the game crashes right away upon reaching the main menu, whether I move the mouse or not.
When it doesn't crash, sometimes the main menu is displayed as a bright green screen with some stuff in it. By toggling the mod off with the hotkey, I can access the main menu and load a game. The mod will then work flawlessly for the rest of that session.
And sometimes it works right off the bat, making the main menu that much brighter, but visible and useable. I can load a game and use the mod at will, and it works just fine for the rest of that session as well.
EDIT:
It seems the game is crashing because the mod is active before the main screen loads.
I've found out that if I quickly toggle the mod off BEFORE the main screen is loaded, the game won't crash.
I can then load a game and toggle the mod back on, with no issues whatsoever.
Is there a way to make the profile default to off when first loading the game?
EDIT 2:
Yes, there is!
Look for the following entry in ReShade.ini (without the blank spaces):
[GENERAL]
Set it to 1, save and launch the game.No Reload On Init = 0
Then set a reload effect hotkey in the ReShade menu.
Now the main screen loads correctly every time, and after loading a game, I reload the effects and activate the preset.
Thanks again.
