About This Mod
I present to you my personal solution, which is based on the work of rClassi and his project VISUALS ENHANCED (ReShade's Pack), so that all the merits belong to him and his team. In this solution, the goal was to give a more natural look, remove the yellow-orange filter present in the vanilla version of the game, and add a small HDR. effect.
NOTE: This mod has been tested on the RX 6800 and i5 12600KF at 1080p, an average of 80/90 fps with the graphics settings described below.
Instructions:
Install Reshade (download here: https://reshade.me), select HorizonForbiddenWest.exe.
Select DirectX 10/11/12
Skip "select preset to install".
Select all shaders (uncheck all -> tick right at top)
Finish the installation, then flush the .ini file from this mod into the game's main directory (where the .exe is located).
Start the game, wait for Reshade to finish loading shaders, then press HOME, select HFW_Reshade.ini from the drop-down list.
(Optional)
I strongly recommend using it with shrvyn's mod to upgrade XeSS to version 1.3
As a final tip, if you have an entry-level or mid-level GPU, I recommend using the following graphics settings:
[Optimized Settings] :
-Texture quality: medium
-Texture Filtering: 16x
-Shadow Quality: Medium
