Updated colors/sharpness/contrast for Warcraft 3 Reforged. Follow the Install Guide in the Video-Section and enjoy :-).

This mod contains changes to the basic colorsetup to improve visual claritiy with Warcraft III reforged graphics ingame. Units are easier to seperate from the landscape and overall have a more cartoonish look. Designed for Versus-Multiplayer. Read the Installinstructions for ReShade-Filters carefully pls.

This ReShade-Mod is:

- removing grainy texture noise, that distracts the eye.
- creating larger color contrast between landscape and units
- improving and brightening faction colors
- seperated sharplevels of landscape and units
- adding flat but also vidid colorprofile for comiclooks
- improves overall readability ingame during day and especially nighttime.
- designed and tested for Versus-Multiplayer*

* in Singleplayer campaigns are a lot of pronounced colorful fogsettings
used which will sometimes confuse the ReShade setup. Using this Mod is
still possible, but the visual quality can suffer from that depending
on the mapsetting. Main focus is on Multiplayer-PVP where superdense,
colored fogs are not so common. However there is a simple trick, that
can help in this case: do not zoom your camera out too far and the
colors will stay in balance.





New Shaders since Version 4.0ea - update/reinstall ReShade for Fubax and AstryFX-Shaders.

Have fun

***************** System Requirements (GPU) ***************************

ReShade-Profiles will add a noticeable extra of GPU-Load* on your system. So be warned.


Shadows and Lightning are eating most performance. Turn them also off for
better/stable FPS. Grass/particles/ Spelleffects /Textures have no signifcant impact.
