OPTIONALS

HQAA - Better Anti-Aliasing, extremely heavy (9 to turn on/off)

MatsoDOF - Cinematic Depth of Field (0 to turn on/off)

MXAO - Ambient Occlusion, do not use if using RTGI (+ to turn on/off)

SSR - Reflections (- to turn it on/off)

RTGI (not included in mod) - Ray Traced Global Illumination, do not use MXAO if you use this.

These are very performance heavy, especially RTGI and HQAA, turning these off will make the performance impact lighter.


RECOMMENDED

In game settings - Turn off in game anti-aliasing and colour filters.

White lights - Recommended as it plays better with lights in game.


KNOWN ISSUES

Startup/Resolution issues/Crash - rename the dxgi.dll file into d3d11.dll.

Preset is too performance heavy - please make sure you're using FXAA+SMAA instead of HQAA firstly, and turn off some of the optionals to increase performance.

Preset is too bright - increase global white level in lightroom until it reaches your desired brightness.

Kelp Forest is too dark - set green exposure under lightroom from -1 to -0.5 or 0. However, the bright greens do not match with the rest of the preset as well, especially affects the lost river. 

Nights are too dark - You can adjust the darkness by increasing black curve, or using negative black levels in lightroom. However, the preset is intended to be a bit darker than vanilla game.
