🎯Activation and use

**First time user guide:**

• **Start the game**
• When starting the game using ReShade for the first time, you need to wait for the shader to be loaded.
• If the game is temporarily unresponsive, this is normal, please wait patiently.

• **Open ReShade menu**
• Press the **Home** key to activate the ReShade user interface by default

🔧 **Button problem solved:**

• If the Home button is invalid, you need to manually modify the ReShade.ini file
• Navigate to the game's home directory and open ReShade.ini with a text editor
• Find the `KeyMenu=36,0,0` line under the `[INPUT]` section and modify it

• **Activate Vignette Shader**
• Search for "vignette" in the ReShade menu
• Activate the effect after finding it

⚙️ Vignetting effect adjustment

🎨 **IMPORTANT NOTE:**

The vignetting effect will become more noticeable in the game when it is first activated - this is normal! Improvements will only be seen after adjusting the values.

**Recommended value settings:**

• **Type**: Raw (default)
• **Scale**: 1.000 (default)
• **Radius**: 2.200 (new setting)
• **Strength**: 0.900 (new setting)
• **Slope**: 2 (default)
• **Center**: No adjustment required

💡 **Adjustment Tips:**

• **Radius** and **Slope** are the most important parameters for reducing vignetting effects
• If you want to further reduce the vignetting effect, you can **reduce the radius value** (try 2.100 or 2.000)
• Can be combined with **increasing the slope value** to 3 to balance the radius adjustment

📁 Use default file

I've provided two preset files for download:

• **Main Preset**: Contains only vignetting reduction effect
• **OPTIONAL PRESET**: Contains vignetting reduction and other additional shaders I use

**How ​​to use:**

• Extract the Elden.ini file from the archive
• Place it in the game installation directory (where ReShade is located)
• Open the ReShade menu in the game and click on the horizontal bar at the top
• Select my Elden.ini file from the drop down list
• Confirm Vignette shader effect is activated

🎉 **Test result:**

Select the switch effect key in the settings tab, try to switch the preset on and off, and observe the difference in the screen to confirm the effect!
