A ReShade preset designed to only correct video output to support full dynamic range (0-255) color without changing contrast, saturation, or anything else that would distort the original color palette as defined by the developer's artistic intent.

Full Dynamic Range Fix

🎮 **Color restoration module specially designed for "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"**

✨ Module function

This ReShade preset specifically addresses dynamic range issues in games, allowing you to experience the rich colors originally designed by the developers!

🌟 **Core Features:**

  • Only video output corrected to support full dynamic range (0-255) color
  • No changes to contrast, saturation or anything that would distort the original color palette
  • Zero performance loss, compatible with all other mods

🔧 Problem background

Have you ever felt like your game colors are a little washed out? Or when adjusting the brightness, no matter how much you slide the slider, the image that should be invisible is always visible?

It's possible that FromSoftware messed with the dynamic range settings during the port, like they did in Dark Souls 3, Elden's Circle, and Armored Core 6.

📊 Detailed explanation of dynamic range

**Full Dynamic Range vs Limited Dynamic Range:**

  • 🖥️ **PC monitor** uses full dynamic range (0-255), providing 16.77 million colors
  • 📺 **TV** uses a limited dynamic range (16-235), providing only 10.64 million colors
  • 🎮 **Problem**: When a console game is ported to PC, if the dynamic range is not adapted, we will lose more than a third of the color!

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Unzip to the "Sekiro" folder (same path as "sekiro.exe")
  • Zero performance cost, compatible with all modules
  • Press the "+" key (next to the backspace key) to switch to the ReShade interface
  • Press the "-" key to switch between repair effects for comparison.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • Remember to adjust the brightness after installation and follow the image instructions
  • It is recommended to set the brightness value to 8 (adjust according to the monitor)
  • Support HDR mode, set the same brightness value as SDR
  • Fully unleash the potential of your OLED or Mini-LED display!

🎯 Compatibility

✅ **Compatible Games:**

  • "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice"
  • Various games from Capcom
  • Games from Kojima Studio
  • and other Western games

❌ **Not Compatible:**

  • "Dark Souls 3", "Elden's Circle", "Armored Core 6"
  • "Monster Hunter: World", "Metal Gear Solid V" (ReShade compatibility issue)

🔍 Technical details

Use the **LevelsPlus** filter to extend dynamic range with less clipping than other similar filters. You may notice that some details become less visible in highlight and shadow areas, but that's exactly the developer's artistic intent - by letting you make brightness adjustments (better known as gamma correction) to decide which details are more clearly visible.

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.
