Nope, it's not in the menu. Even CA / barrel distortion aren't completely disabled when you disable it in the menu. It's at offset 0x18E8 in the postprocessing value table (set to 0 for no lens dirt). I disabled it in my tools but for people not using them it would be very nice if ND would add an option for this as it's sometimes very visible.

Also the CA/Barreldistortion (at offsets 0x1AD8 and 0x1AD0) will make the depth buffer not 100% align in reshade. So if you use reshade effects which use hte depth buffer (e.g. RTGI) then it won't properly work in the edges of the screen. Would be nice if ND would properly fix this too. Likely will never happen but who knows.

Well if it does not work correctly might make sense, I've noticed other settings does not fully work either at all or partially - draw distance in-game, fps lock for example in loading screens. I've reported it in the support page, from the pinned topic guess you can too.

Even bloom in this game cannot be turned off entirely. Can only be set to low.

you can disable it with the remap file, for now. it will still render the overlay pass but black.

load the remap.txt (be sure to make a backup)

search for "44efafd386549f64 post1/lens-dirt.dds"

and change it to "44efafd386549f64 post1/black.dds"

untested. i dunno. i don't think so tho. i can't think of another scenario where this file could be used. it's literally just a lensdirt texture.

Only effect I wish ND allowed us to disable is the built-in sharpening filter which makes the game look awful.

I'm using the hex edit code now to disable the sharpening from the game, but it should be in the menu settings.

Had to use a mod for Tales of Arise as well, another game that had a forced sharpening filter which caused aliasing and made the game look bad.
