- Install by extracting the archive into you Witcher 3 game folder

Important: If you are updating from version 0.2 or below, delete custom.ini in The Witcher 3\bin folder, and also delete xinput9_1_0.dll in The Witcher 3\bin\x64_dx12 folder. RT Fidelity is no longer a requirement for this mod and should not be used together. However, we still recommend you download, try and endorse the mod even if you do not use it as it was a major inspiration for creating these presets.

#
#  Your settings in "graphics" will show "low" for many setttings,
#  because no "settings" xml thing is not set up, just leave them,
#  if you change them, settings are changed, probably back to default,

I have researched many of the possible params related to rendering, and made a very nice looking preset, it is NOT optimized, and it is WIP, but 
- it deals with the "pop ins"  (works, but not 100% gone, WIP)
- it deals with weird shadows in the distance, (works, but WIP)
- the Ambient Occlusion is more immersive
- the reflections are much more clear and realistic (Vanilla is set to using low-resolution reflection sources (mip))
- draw distance is changed beyond ultra+
- other things.
