- INSTALLATION STEPS        

1-
Download the latest Reshade version from https://reshade.me/ ;

2- Run the executable to install the Reshade  ---->  Select the game OR  browse until find  the game executable .exe folder  (usually [........Steam\steamapps\common\The witcher 3/bin/x64 ] ) and click  on the game .exe  file ----> Next ----> select DirectX10/11/12  ----> Next  ----> In the shaders collections window  check Legacy Effects box ----> Next ----> wait  the download of the shaders ---> Finish...

ATTENTION: The firewall from some antiviruses can block the download of shader files during Reshade installation (Message: "Unable to Finish Download"). If it is happening to you turn off the firewall temporalily and try to install Reshade again. In some cases even Windows can block the installation and you will need to check the options in Windows Warning to go on with the install.  There is not any viruses in these files, its a false positive. 

3- Download my mod from files tab of this page (the correct version for your lighting setup), and extract the file Phoenix.ini to the [....... The witcher 3/bin/x64]  folder  ; 

4- Run the game, use "Home" key to open Reshade menu, click on continue and at the bar near the top choose the file "Phoenix.ini" and click on Select (like the exemple in image bellow), so click on "continue" bars and "Finish" bar at the bottom of the menu, then "Home" key again to close it. NOTE: If you dont like the black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen, uncheck Border.fx box in the menu. 



5- (Optional) If you want to set a hotkey to Enable/Disable the Reshade Effects you can do it on Reshade menu Settings tab > Effects Toggle Key  (I use F3 key to turn ON/OFF all the effects, but it will not be activated by default after your installation, you will need to activate it by yourself if you  want, cause Reshade does not allow to save it on the preset ini file which I shared here ). 

IMPORTANT: If you are using FPS monitoring or recording programs (like FRAPS, for exemple) the game (with Reshade installed) maybe will not open if these kind of software is already running. If you want to use a program like that, open the game FIRST , and during title screen press alt + tab, so open the monitoring/recording software and go back to the game.  



                         
ENJOY AND PLEASE CLICK ON "ENDORSE" IF YOU LIKE THE PRESET!  


- UNINSTALLATION :

To uninstall you need to delete: reshade - shaders folder, Phoenix.ini, dxgi.dll and any other file with "Reshade" in the name from [........Steam\steamapps\common\The witcher 3/bin/x64 ] folder .
