Looks worse you even removed tree and rock shadows for no damn reason, far away objects are too colorful (they were muted in color by fog for a good reason as it's a tundra ffs not just warm fields). Only at very very close when you look at the characters it looks better.
was excited but then i saw the wide shot and lol it kind of destroyed the atmosphere. no hate though, honestly they really should have given us an advanced settings option so we can tweak stuff ourselves, no doubt some people like this look, for anyone else wanting abit more sharpness but dont want something overboard as this, just sail the high sea and get Lossless scaling (or buy it, it's rather cheap), the LS1 sharpening setting on max helps with clarity alot.
This mod proves how little artistic understanding some more technically minded people have. The mod removes atmospheric perspective, nuances and shades that give the game specific atmosphere and vibe all in favor of technical clarity. It's a disgrace to art to call this mod an improvement. I'm all for modding and improving visuals but this is not it. This mod and those supporting it prove they don't have fundamental understanding of beauty and art.
yeah it should have stopped at maybe making closeup images more clear (like that shot of Careena) but removing the atmospheric occlusion and bloom is a massive loss
Game extensions need desperate updates all over vortex and I was wondering if this game will get an extension it just seems a waste to me.......a mod manager that won't let you load your game with it (Can totally play it and load mods without but still), seems heavily inefficient but I digress I shall be patient
If by 'charm' you mean blurry and washed-out visuals and stuff popping out all over the place, then yeah, such a shame that you somehow were forced to install this completely optional mod on your computer.
1000% this. The before looks so much better because deliberate choices were made to enhance a certain art style. Draw distance is the only thing that needs to be fixed.
Thank you very much for the mods. using Epic with Fog. (at wind village, no fog changed the feeling a bit too much)
depth of field = you see less things that's far away? lens flare = things glows?
I bought the game at release, but my eye couldn't handle the fuzzinezz. (sounds silly) tried again yesterday and still couldn't bare it. then I found this mod. now I can finish this game without going mental.
Hmm I cant get this mod to work for some reason. I created the ~mods folder and everything and added the pak file in there but it looks the same and my performance is the same so I know the mod isn't activating. But I cant figure out why.

Took all the charm out ????
Anyway I'll try to use it for the draw distance.
The haze is a deliberate artistic choice to give a lot of areas a more painted and atmospheric look.
Anyway, it's stated I was interested in the mod for the draw distance.
Very well done, I just wish they provided the option to do all this in the game itself.
Question though, I hate DoF, but id like Fog and Lens back, any option for that? Also, do you install the optional file with either of the main files?
FOG + Lens Flare option?
I'm confused with the naming.
