About this mod

Shaders that enhance and improve all details and visuals in general for an ultimate realistic experience

     This is a reshade based on 5.4.2 version that enhances all visuals in general: reflections, shadows, occlusion, details and textures for a gameplay as realistic as possible. I have taken care of the color grading, sharpness, shadows, occlusion (for a deeper and precise realism), small details, and even textures which are controlled by one of the effects in order to find the sweet spot of sharpness. 

     Opposite to most of my shaders previously created, this shader impacts performance (between 15-20 fps), anyway, as this game is quite well optimised, you can modify the graphics in the in-build menu of the game.

    My recommendations are the following (for those ones who already have a mid-high end computer (laptop too. In my case, I have an AMD 5900HS and RTX 3070 GPU, with processor cores OC'ed to 4750 Mhz):

Display:

- Screen Resolution: 2560x1440
- Borderless Windowed
- DLSS (mandatory to have a consistent 85/90 fps average), in this case, DLSS Quality (without Occlusion effect on), if you want to keep same FPS as DLSS Quality, then activate the occlusion effect with DLSS Balanced. In terms of texture quality, not a big impact, but in terms of illumination definetly worthy (remember you want to have a smooth and consistent gameplay without stutters nor lag spikes, so please, FOLLOW THIS RECOMMENDATIONS). SHARPENING LEVEL: 50/55 as the shader already take care of this, and we don't want to have that plastic oversharpened textures, so please, reduce it until you find your desired level.
- VSync (up to you, me personally, I play it with VSync on, and fps capped to 144 via Nvidia Control Panel)/MSI Rivatuner. It is up to your taste.
- FPS Counters on.

Advanced Graphics:

- I have everything in ultra, except the AMBIENT OCCLUSION, which is set to high (This shader provides a better Occlusion than the game one).

Do not forget to keep the occlusion effect on the top of the list of the reshade options (pressing home key on your keyboard) for maximum compatbility with the rest of the effects.

Remember to run the game as admin, with screen optimizations disabled and DPI activated to override. (via properties by right clicking the game shortcut icon).

How to install reshade is pretty easy. There are tones of tutorials on youtube that explains how to do it, just remember to place my file where your executable is. (u4.exe). The readme file contains a guide of how to do it anyway.

That's everything. 

Enjoy the experience treasure hunters, and don't forget to endorse it if you are happy with the results, which I am pretty sure you will.
