Crimson Desert Desaturated Filter

✨ Module Introduction

Did the visual style of the original Red Desert game irritate your eyes? 😵 The high-saturation green color and excessive scenery effects that fill the screen are believed to make many people feel physically uncomfortable.

This filter is designed to save your eyes! 🎯 It is designed to alleviate the visual fatigue caused by the ubiquitous, over-saturated green vegetation in the game, making the game screen softer and more comfortable.

I really can't understand why the development team adopted such an oversaturated aesthetic, so I made this filter just to make my eyes feel better.

🛠️ Installation and Setup Guide

To use this filter, you need to first download and install **Reshade (version 6.2.0 or higher)** for Red Desert.

**Lazy installation method:**

When installing Reshade, choose to install All Effects.

**Manual installation method:**

If you choose to install manually, be sure to additionally install the following Shader packages:

• AstrayFX
• PD80
• potatoFX
• Pumbo
• qUINT

**Detailed setup steps:**

• **Place File**: Copy the downloaded `.ini` configuration file to the `bin64` folder in the game installation directory. If prompted, please choose to overwrite.
• **System HDR**: In the **HDR Color Settings** of the Windows system, turn on the **"Use HDR"** option.
• **Game Contrast**: Enter the in-game video settings menu and adjust **Contrast** to a lower value (0-15 is recommended).
• **Game HDR Settings**: In the same menu, find and turn on the **HDR** option. In the HDR settings, turn **Brightness Peaking** to a low value (I turned it all the way down), then turn **Exposure** all the way up.
• **Ray Tracing**: In the game's **Settings -> Graphics** menu, turn on **Ray Tracing**.
• The **DLSS light reconstruction** option can be turned on or off based on the indoor lighting effect (because the game does not have good pre-baked lighting and relies entirely on ray tracing and eyeball adaptation. If it is not turned on, the indoor environment will easily appear black or overexposed. Just adjust it according to personal preferences).
• **Enjoy new vision**: Complete the above settings and start enjoying a new, more eye-friendly game visual experience! 🎮

💡 Usage suggestions
