Realistic Style-Hogwarts Legacy Reshade Preset

This Reshade preset is based on Apel8-Re-Shade and I love its lighting settings. I think in reality, when the human eye sees strong light, the objects in the field of view become blurred. I decided to make my own version and it inspired me a lot.

🚀 Installation Guide

• **Download and install the latest version of Re-Shade**
• Visit the official website:
• Select the game main program `HogwardLegacy.exe`
• Select rendering API `Direct3D`
• Check to install "Standard effects"

• **Download my Reshade preset file**

• **Extract to the game directory**
• Path example: `Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64`
• **Tips**: You can delete the original `reshade-shaders` folder in the game directory and replace it with the folder of the same name in my files. I've removed all unnecessary files to **increase the speed you get into the game** and to help prevent the game from lagging or crashing.

• **Activate Preset**
• Press the **"Home"** key on the keyboard during the game to bring up the ReShade system menu.
• Select **"Hogwarts Legacy Re-Shade"** in the preset list.
• **Shortcut key tip**: The `Home` key is the system menu, and the `Ins` key is to switch special effects.

• **Performance Suggestions**
• I think it would be more appropriate to set the **render resolution** to 75%** to achieve a good balance between image quality and performance.

✨ My setup philosophy

I think distant textures shouldn't be that clear because in reality the eye can't see distant details clearly. This preset is designed to simulate the visual characteristics of the human eye and create a more immersive and realistic world of Hogwarts.

🔧 **Compatibility Test**: This setup has been tested on **AMD 6800XT** and **NVIDIA 3080** graphics cards. In order to turn all the image quality options to "extreme", I used rendering resolutions of **80%** and **75%** respectively.

🎯 **Usage Suggestions**

• Depending on your graphics card performance, you can fine-tune the rendering resolution percentage (75%-100%).
• This preset pays special attention to the realism of light and shadow, and the effect is particularly outstanding in strong light environments (such as scenes under direct sunlight).
• Enjoy a more cinematic and realistic magical world!
