REST plug-in - add Reshade effect after UI smoke effect

🎮 Usage requirements

  • The game must be run in DX12 mode
  • Currently only supports native resolutions
  • For DLSS functionality, please use NV Inspector
  • For higher quality anti-aliasing, it is recommended to use DLAA

📦 Installation steps

  • Install the latest version of Reshade plug-in 6.3.3
  • Place the provided file in the same directory as the game exe file
  • Open the Reshade interface in the main menu
  • Check the "REST_CSHADEAUTOEXPOSURE_REINHARD" option (must be checked, otherwise it will crash when entering story mode)

✨ Recommended matching effects

  • **SSGI (Screen Space Global Illumination)** - Highly recommended
  • **Motion Vector** - Recommended to use Immersive Launchpad
  • **Uber RT** - Free version, better used with Immersive Launchpad
  • **RTGI** - Paid version
  • **COMPLETERT** - Paid version
  • **ZN DAMP RT** - Free version

⚠️ Notes

  • May not be stable enough (especially when selecting a shader for the first time, until cache creation is complete)
  • RTX graphics card and latest driver recommended
  • Occasionally bugs may occur, please provide feedback in time

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
