Simple Realistic for Crimson Desert

🎨 **A custom shader module that makes the graphics of "Red Desert" brighter and more detailed! **

✨ Module effect

This custom shader will bring the following improvements to the game:

• **Brighter Scene**: By enhancing global illumination, the overall picture brightness is gently improved.
• **Better details**: Optimized the performance of picture details, making textures and object outlines clearer.
• **Better Shadows**: Improved shadow rendering, making light and shadow transitions more natural and layered.

🛠️ Installation Guide (Steam version)

⚠️ **Important Prerequisite**: If you have installed Reshade before, please be sure to completely remove/clean it from the game before installing this mod. Although this mod is based on the Reshade framework, it may not be compatible with standard Reshade installations.

• **Locate the game directory**: Go to your game folder `\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64\` (where the `CrimsonDesert.exe` file is located).
• **Extract files**: Extract all the files I provided into the above directory.
• **Overwrite Configuration File**: **MUST** overwrite your current file with my `Reshade.ini` file (select "Yes" if Windows asks whether to overwrite). This is a **mandatory step**, the shader will not work properly without my custom config file!
• **Run Game**: Launch the game and enjoy the new graphics!

💡 **Installation Verification**: If the installation is correct, when you press the HOME key to call out the Reshade interface, you should only see a shader named `CD.fx` being loaded. This is more efficient and faster than loading a large number of standard shader files, and it only requires adjusting 3 parameter sliders, which is very convenient to control!

⌨️ Shortcut key description

• **Delete (Del) key**: Switch effect **on/off** (default: on).
• **HOME key**: Brings up the **Reshade interface**, where you can adjust color saturation, light intensity, and shadow levels to suit your monitor or personal preference.
