The reshade mod from Nyclix does improve the game somewhat and it’s definitely worth a look. Some players have experienced crashing issues using he mod but this is being fixed. Follow these instructions and recommended settings and note there may be a 1-2 FPS loss, but it does look so much better.

  • Depth of Field: On Field of View: Personal preference, higher is better. I use 90 Global Quality Preset: Custom Fullscreen: On Vsync: Off <– Optional but I disable it. Ambient
  • Global Quality Preset: Custom Fullscreen: On Vsync: Off <– Optional but I disable it. Ambient
  • Fullscreen: On Vsync: Off <– Optional but I disable it.
