Voidwalker ReShade Collection - realistic and vibrant cinematic presets with additional effects

Voidwalker ReShade Collection: Improved visual and cinematic effects

by TheMercsAssassin

Description and features

So this is a small collection of 3 cinematic ReShade, one with realistic color, one with bright color, and one in between. Each preset adds lens highlights, less blurred colors and generally more somber vibrations to your Star Wars Outlaws experience. In addition, the preset offers additional cinematic effects besides vanilla, including depth of field, camera lens emulation, glare, lens contamination, colorization, alternative film grain (it is recommended to turn off vanilla film grain if you really like film grain, then there is no reason why you can't use both vanilla and mine), letterbox and vignette. I plan to add more presets in the coming days, weeks and months.

All added effects are on the hotkeys for easy and quick switching when/if they are not needed (the toggle keys are listed next to the corresponding effects in the ReShade menu).

Thank you to Circonian on Discord for helping us to verify this work! Without his help, this collection would not have been released so soon!

Installation instructions

1. Put my .ini file in the game folder where your game .exe is located.

3. Run the downloaded ReShade .exe file.

4. Select your game's .exe file from the list of games displayed in Setup. If you don't see it there, you'll have to click the Browse button and find it manually.
