DESCRIPTION:
The updated sprites and textures in Stronghold: Definitive Edition look great, but everything seems like it was given an artificial edge sharpen, a murky green color grade, and muted midtones.
This ReShade removes the artificial edge sharpen, changes the green color grade to one with white highlights, red midtones, and cyan shadows. And then adds back contrast to the midtones. All of these changes are rather subtle and may not show up well in the screenshots, but match the look of the original Stronghold more closely in-game.
There also is an optional version which adds an HDR bloom effect in addition to the color enhancements of the main mod. This greatly enhances the lighting and is the best way to experience the game in my opinion
INSTALLATION:
1. Download the ReShade framework https://reshade.me/ and install into the Stronghold Definitive Edition directory. Choose the Direct X 12 option and select to install all of the optional included filters.
2. Place this mod's "Stronghold Classic.ini" file onto the main Stronghold Definitive Edition directory. You should see other ReShade .ini files in there as well.
3. Launch the game and wait for ReShade to load. This will take some time on the first startup. Then follow ReShade's instructions to load a preset. Choose the "Stronghold Classic" preset. You should immediately notice a difference.
