RenoDX - HDR Fix - Tonemap - Color Grade mod
About This Mod
Refining the graphics pipeline to correct HDR and tonal display controls, paper whiteness, UI brightness, LUT, and color correction.
STILL IN BETA! TESTED ONLY ON STEAM!
I have not reached the end of the game, so mod may stop working in later stages due to missing shaders.
RenoDX rewrites DX12 game shaders to fix native HDR and custom controls for the game. It uses Reshade Add-on API to connect to the game rather than RESHADE effects.

Reworking graphics engine to support HDR
It is based on the Reshade addon system to avoid the need for constant updates after the release of game updates

Installation
Install Reshade 6.3.3 or higher with add-on support (link). No Reshade effects are required.
Copy renodx-stalker2.addon64 to the installation folder (next to the game's exe file and to the same folder where you installed Reshade).
Run the game
HDR must be ON in the game
Press the keyboard to enter the Reshade user interface.
FAQ
Do I have to enable native HDR? YES.
Does the game cancel game options (UI, gamma, brightness... etc.)? YES.
On what standard is the mod calibrated? SDR sRGB on default settings.
What's wrong with the native HDR? - The game makes a lot of color correction at the end of the graphics pipeline. The problem is that this color correction works only on SDR renders, but it spoils colors when HDR is enabled.
About RenoDX
RenoDX, short for "Renovation Engine for DirectX Games", is a set of tools for modification
games. It can now replace shaders, input buffers, add overlays,
and burn the user settings to disk. Because RenoDX uses the Reshade add-ons system
the compatibility will be quite broad. Using Reshade
simplifies all the necessary steps to connect to DirectX without worrying
to fix version-specific exe files. Source code available
on GitHub.
