About this mod Machine translation
I'm keeping it for personal use, but I thought I could upload it as well.
Inspired by and based on Clear Hunter, but aiming for more subtle/slight changes, minimal frame drop. Eats about 5fps.
I find the game looks cleaner with its vanilla ambient occlusion turned off and using ReShade's adjustable MXAO instead.
With the included settings, MXAO costs an additional 5-10fps (I think this depends on the density and density of the nearby mesh). Feel free to adjust it to your liking.
Install:
- Extract this archive to Steam\Steamapps\common\Monster Hunter World\
- Download the latest version of ReShade. Run it and select the Monster Hunter World folder/executable file.
- Click Direct3D 10+ and install the default shader.
- Launch MHW and press Shift + F2 to display the ReShade menu.
- Read the basic instructions for ReShade and you should be able to select the SubtleClarity ini file from the drop-down menu.
Installation (Kaldaien's Special K):
- Assuming you already have Special K installed, go to this link, scroll down to "ReShade (Official)" and follow the instructions there.
- After completing step 7, extract the ini files in this archive to My Documents/My Mods/SpecialK/Plugins/ThirdParty/ReShade/
- Follow the remaining steps, launch MHW and press Shift + F2 to display the ReShade menu. If Shift+F2 doesn't do anything, make sure Special K is set correctly.
- Read the basic instructions for ReShade and you should be able to select the SubtleClarity ini file from the drop-down menu.
uninstall:
Delete the SubtleClarity ini file, dxgi.dll, dxgi.ini and Reshade-Shaders folder.
If you are using Special K, please do not delete the dxgi file. Instead just disable the ReShade third-party plug-in in Special K's options.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
