Lords of the Fallen (2023) - Reshade Presets v1.0 - Enhanced . Dramatic | (RT & Non-RT)

Lords of the Fallen (2023) presets: Enhanced and Dramatic. Each one of them has Raytracing (RT) and Non-Raytracing (Non-RT) versions.

Read the "README!" files in the downloaded archives.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important: The game has heavy Chromatic aberration, Film grain and sharpening effects. You should turn them off!

When in-game, Go to Settings/Graphics and Turn off Chromatic aberration and Film grain effects.

To disable sharpening, use the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/lordsofthefallen2023/mods/12?tab=files

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ray tracing (RT) Presets are little bit heavy in terms of performance because of the RTGI shader. You can get more FPS with some tweaking - see the last picture above

Quick guide: (How to install Reshade/Preset):

01. Download Reshade: https://reshade.me/ and run downloaded file

02. Select the game in the list (LOTF2-Win64-Shipping.exe)

03. Choose the proper rendering API (For this game select DirectX 10/11/12)

04. Select and download all effect (shader) packages

05. For Presets Non-RT you can skip this step. But for Presets RT you should get mcflypg's RTGI shader (5$ tier): https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg/

06. Download my Reshade Preset(s) archive(s), extract it and put extracted files (.ini file and the reshade-shaders folder) into the game folder where the .exe file is located (Overwrite if asks)

07. Check in-game Reshade interface. You should see these shaders below as active in this order:

If the shader has the (Opt.) sign next to it, that shader is optional for a specific preset. You can disable them from Reshade GUI. These, however, are well-balanced and I recommend keeping them enabled.

If you need more guidance you can watch step-by-step video tutorials on how to install Reshade and set up the in-game overlay, Also how to install RTGI shader (For RT presets) and configure Depth Buffer properly here:

Reshade Installation and Setup Guide

. . .

Important: Presets were tweaked and tested in SDR (Non-HDR) game/monitor mode. It may not look decent in HDR mode. So make sure the HDR mode is deactivated in your in-game Display/Graphics settings. Also disable HDR for your Monitor, or set HDR levels to low. You can also try to tweak presets using extra shaders like: LevelsPlus, PD80_03_Levels or curves by yourself for HDR TV.

I plan to release HDR presets separately in the future if the project runs well with your support.

Note: Some shaders may give a very subtle effect in some areas. However, they have a significant impact on other environments. So don't turn off any shaders if you want the preset to work as it should. I'll always let you know if there are optional shaders in my presets. So you can turn them off.

The same image looks different on different screens. You might need some tweaking for your monitor's brightness/contrast/saturation if Reshade differs from the showcase.
