CHR Luminoso Reshade

This preset focuses primarily on global illumination and other enhancements.

CHR Luminoso Reshade

✨ **Welcome to my second Reshade preset for Hogwarts Legacy! ** This preset is designed to replace in-game ray tracing with a more performance-friendly alternative, giving you ray tracing-like lighting effects. After hours of debugging, now you too can enjoy this lighting without suffering a huge performance hit.

**Please note:** This preset is created with the in-game fog effect turned off in the `Engine.ini` file.

🎨 About Shaders

**Version 2.0**

• **Fixed missing folder issue**, now you don't need to manually put the `solaris` files into the shader folder.
• **Global Illumination** has been reworked, now with more precise depth-based effects and more adjustment options.

*I am currently gaming at 6880x2880 ultrawide resolution with DLSS quality mode. **Frame generation and RTX ray tracing are turned off** for two reasons:

• They seem to have compatibility issues with depth-based shaders.
• The implementation quality of in-game ray tracing is poor.
• Other graphics settings remain the same as before.

**Version 1.0**

• Use **Radiant GI** and **Blooming HDR** for more realistic lighting and bloom effects.
• Use **Focal DOF** to blur distant objects (with the fog effect turned off).
• Use the **Bonus LUT Pack** for color correction and add a small amount of sharpening for a clearer picture.

*Performance penalty is approximately **15%**.

⚙️ My graphics settings reference

• **Resolution:** 5160x2160 (ultrawide)
• **DLSS:** Quality Mode
• **Graphics Settings:** Turn all to high
• **Off options:** Film Grain, Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, Depth of Field
• **Ray Tracing:** All options set to on and superelevation (but you can turn it off as the preset's global illumination takes over)

**IMPORTANT:** This preset is optimized for the resolutions and graphics settings listed above. If you're playing at a lower resolution (such as 1080p), you may encounter issues such as over-sharpening, excessive blur, or white lines, which are common manifestations of global illumination at low resolutions.

⚠️ Depth buffer settings (critical step!)

To ensure that depth-based filters (global illumination and focus depth of field) work properly, Reshade's depth buffer must be set correctly:

• Press the `Home` key in the game to open the Reshade interface.
• Click **"Edit global preprocessor definition"**, you may see a series of numbers: `1000, 0, 0, 0`.
• Change the **second** `0` to `1`.

📥 Installation Guide

• **Download Reshade**: Download the latest version from the Reshade official website.
• **Install Shaders**: While installing, click the **"Unselect All"** button twice to install **all** shaders.
• **Place the preset file**: Download and unzip this preset file, and put it into the game's main directory (where the `.exe` file is located).
• **Start the game**: Run the game and press the `Home` key to bring up the Reshade interface (you can skip the tutorial).
• **Select Preset**: Select this preset in the drop-down bar at the top of the interface, and then click **"Select"**.
• **Enjoy the game**! If you like it, don’t forget to like and support! 😊

**💡 Troubleshooting: ** If you see black spots or streaks in the game menu or map, press `Home` to open the Reshade interface, go to the **"Add-ons"** tab, and check an option consisting of long numbers and letters in the depth buffer section (for example: `000000ex000bc45rg`).
