Trying out reshade 3.0 with uthgard. Blue said post processing graphics was ok as it does not provide an advantage. if anything a disadvantage. takes a few secs to load the shaders on initial startup. your movements are frozen till then. Still, a lot of playing with the filters still to go. screenshots are at 1600x900 in vsr, msaa and 16AF 1080p text is tiny... till get a better ui.

hmmm might need to use reshades screenshot button instead of game engine.

A number of shaders have no effect on the engine. So I removed them from loading. while others severe detrimental effects.

reshade 3.0

Wow, that looks great

Very nice keep it going.

Got also question: Is it even possible for uth: http://mharjula.blogspot.com/ ? That would be so awesome, but can imagine the conflict with broadsword unfortunately :/

Wouldn't changing the engine break a lot of stuff from the game? Mobs, characters, walk/run/horse?

If you got a bad pc it could cause lag effects I am sure. Running an rx 480 8G and fps is constant 60. keep it capped from going silly high.

edit: the graphics post-processing only effects the display effect, and does not affect the game engine directly. by adding new shader effects and anti-aliasing etc.

getting a few messages on how to install and use reshade.

reshade 3.0 is fairly straightforward to use. but are a few tips to help out

https://reshade.me/ https://reshade.me/

It will take a bit to load up the first time you install it to your electronic arts>doac directory and launch the game regularly. tbh do not use reshde at first in an rvr zone, you will be locked till it loads up all the shaders and effects. Because it will try to load every shader up for you to edit in the game to your own personal taste. shift+f2 will load up the shader editor and effects editor.

When done editing or trying out shaders. just go to the electronic arts>daoc>reshadeshaders folder and move out the shaders your not using to a backup directory or something so it does not compile unneeded shaders and effects every time.

if reshade asks what type of DirectX choose directx 9.0

I'm using:
adaptive sharpening
ambient lighting
clarity
fine sharp mode 3
high-pass sharp
lumasharpen
magic bloom
smaa
Technicolor 2

I keep fake hdr handy and enable it sometimes.

quick tip: run windows mode with full panel mod in your gfx setting otherwise everytime you alt tab you recompile shaders! bad in rvr....

quick video from hib insta fins pve group for demo

Hard to properly judge it from a stationary location and during night time, but seems more vivid which is good, but at the same time it seems a bit too... uhm.. strong? seems like it is painted with colored crayons! xD

Maybe it's just some tuning tho

it's the technicolor shader I'm using, it is extremely vibrant. If I disabled it game goes more default color palette. but I maybe am over sharpening the images.

Showing my actual reshade graphics.
Playing around with reshade for about 5 months now.

Looks like all your fancy program does is adjusting contrast and gamma

All of my later zerg videos and etc are using reshade. but sometimes am getting artifacts such as a motion blurring due to shappening at times or aa. i am using a technicolor green palette, and other vibrant settings due to playing hib. lol

tbh screenshots look lot better than the videos.
