What's this?

A simple Reshade preset and shader pack for The Witcher 3.

This preset will give you a simple and realistic simulation effect with lower performance.

It doesn't use heavy or complex shaders (such as AO, HDR, ambient light, etc.); just simple shaders.

3D stereo mode (Top-Bottom) is also included in this simple preset.

It is based on Reshade 2.xx (customized version).

How to install:

Clean/Move/Backup previous SweetFX or Reshade files (dxgi.dll/d3d11.dll and their related files and folders) if you have installed them into Witcher3.
Extract this file into the same folder as the game executable (witcher3.exe.exe)

How to uninstall:

Command keys:

INSERT: Switch effect ON/OFF (default is ON)

F11: Activate 3D Stereo Mode - Top and Bottom Format ~ Optimized for LG 3D Cinema Screen (Thanks to: Jose Negrete for this awesome shader!)

PRINT-SCREEN: Take an in-game screenshot (PNG format, it will be saved to your game root folder)

HOME: Switch HUD ON / OFF

END (new in version 1.4.1): Toogle Light-boost ** ON/OFF (default is ON)

Recommended in-game settings:

POST-PROCESSING settings default: MEDIUM (please disable: SHARPENING *** and MOTION BLUR)
GRAPHIC settings preset: HIGH (please also disable: Hairworks), set textures to HIGH

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.
