Reshade issue
I'm trying to replay the game again and am using the mod fixes and some other texture mods. I also am injecting Reshade but the trouble is that if I enable any effects I get a weird screen dimming effect if I pan my mouse down but it goes back to normal if I move my mouse back up. Sometimes it does it at weird viewing angles. I know it is Reshade causing it but only if an effect is enabled. I do have reshade properly setup and the effects I am using are working correctly. I'm just confused by the strange screen dimming effect that happens when I move my mouse at extreme angles - consistently happens when I look down at the ground. If I toggle off all effects (reshade still running) then it doesn't happen - and it doesn't matter what effect is used - any reshade effect introduces the weird dimming when looking down, etc. I feel like it has something to do with post process compatibility but I don't know how to work around it.

TLDR; weird dimming/flickering on mouse movement with Reshade.

no need for reshade (yes, it doesn't work properly), the engine supports postprocessing natively, explore the docs and cfgs.

btw, I once knew a Raziel guy who used a similar avatar, any connection to the old 3Dfx scene?

I know reshade isn't needed but wanted to experiment with some effects. I'd really like to make it work. I did disable post processing in the config to see if that was the conflict but it made no difference.

My avatar is Raziel from the old Legacy of kain series games. I was gaming during the 3Dfx era and even had a Voodoo2 card in my old machine, but I'm sure there were many other folks who shared these same attributes as myself.

ah well, that guy must be fifty or so now.

anyway, Dark just doesn't like reshade, and that's a fact. and if Dark is not feeling it, then it's not happening. that's how Dark rolls.

I think i once had a similar issue with ReShade, downloading and installing the older version helped.

But also, some effects like bloom and stuff are baked into the engine now, so if you use ReShade's version of the same, to prevent stacking, try disabling the ones in cam_ext.cfg.
Or leave them, sometimes it creates a nice effect lol.

But yeah, try a different version of ReShade, soemtimes they break.
