About this mod Machine translation
This mod works with STLM 3.1.1 in an attempt to achieve the closest look to the 2014 build.
This ReShade preset uses the special effects of ReShade 3.0 along with STLM 3.1.1 to give games a more realistic and bright lighting feel without washing out the color palette. It also makes good use of bloom and lens grime, giving the powerful, almost cinematic lighting effects shown in the E3 2014 build without blinding you with completely overwhelming brightness. Viewing distance and overall detail have been improved to closely mimic the E3 game. Hope you all like it and keep tuning in for possible updates. cheers!

Installation instructions
Step 1: Go to reshade.me and click directly on the download button in the middle of the screen. The page will take you to the bottom; click Download again. (Very simple and clean, you will find it, trust me.)
Step 2: Run ReShade_Setup_3.0.6.exe. An installation menu will appear that reads: Select Game. Click Select a Game and navigate to your witcher3.exe file. This should be located in ProgramFiles(x86)/Steam/steamapps./Witcher3/bin/x64. Make sure you select the executable file, which is the actual game launcher.
Step 3: ReShade settings will now tell you to select a rendering API. Choose the middle option: Direct3D 10+. Make sure you click on it. You will then be asked if you want to download the effects for ghosting, click OK. Once it gives you the complete list of effects, leave them all selected and click OK. It will tell you that ReShade has been installed successfully.
Step 4: Now, after installing ReShade 3.0, drag the contents of ReShade (ghost shader, dxgi.dll and E3.ini) into the x64 folder. When prompted to rewrite the file.
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.
