For those who have problems, install ReShade as you normally do, the ReShade installer will ask if you want to download the Shaders, in this case, select "yes", when it gives the option to install the downloaded shaders, simply uncheck almost everything, just leave " borders ", then copy the files as it says in the instructions.
You can still download everything. Other presets might want them so you may as well. When you select this mod's ini in the reshade menu only the fx it wants will be active. Also the file sizes are super small so there's really no reason not to.
The biggest thing that got me was that the ReShade menu button is now "Home" not "shfit+f2".
Seems there is something wrong with the reshade version, but basically i follow your steps for installation and after installing ReShade and running it into the witcher installer with Dx10 i didn't create the "\bin\x64\reshade -shaders\Shaders" folder any idea of what's going or maybe some help to get it fix? Thx in advance.
I just installed Reshade, but it seems they changed their install routine, so there is no \bin\x64\reshade -shaders\Shaders folder... Can someone advice me how to insert the *.fx files please? would be much appreciated

Hello there, i have the Problem that my game is realy realy dark with this MOD, even wehen i turn the gamma to max and change the tonemap from 1.860 to 1.760 or something its way to dark... any tips for me ? would be great.
Installation: 1- Download "Enhanced ReShade - Beta 1.0" from "Files", this .rar contains the preset and the Shaders by Loxa. 2- Download ReShade from Here and Install in The Witcher 3. 3- Decompress the .rar, then, Pass the file "Enhanced ReShade - Beta 1.0" to the x64 folder on The Witcher 3. 4- You will have a folder called "Shaders_by_Ioxa_for_ReShade3.0", enter in the folder, there will be another folder named in the same way, go into that, and finally, pass all the files to the folder "The Witcher 3\bin\x64\reshade -shaders\Shaders "(this folder will be created when you install ReShade). And that is all what you need to make the ReShade works.
i absolutely love how this looks. its gorgeous. but i took a significant frame hit. went from 70-75 without it on down to 40ish fps. is there any way to make it not completely rape my pc and still look good? P.S. thank you for the work you've done here. good stuff

Well nevermind, when I alt+tabbed back into the game and the shaders reloaded the HUD came back.
The biggest thing that got me was that the ReShade menu button is now "Home" not "shfit+f2".
