This reshape delivers sharper, crisper gaming quality with a slight performance hit.

Eliminate blue haze, maintain color palette, and improve graphics quality with SMAA and Sharpening.

Graphics is set to maximum (default) and gamma is 50%.

Simply download the latest repost, install using the Direct 3D 10+ or OpenGL (middle) option, and select Yes to download the assets.

Extract this folder to *Whatever*\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\Binaries\Win64\ (the same location the .exe was used to reinstall).

Shift + F2 turns Reshade on - F12 toggle Reshade on/off.

(I have steam and changed the screenshot button to F11, don't know how to change the Reshade Key)

I'm not sure if performance mode is automatically activated, if not, turn it on in the settings tab.

See comparison screenshots and try it out.

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.
