KingCrimson's Reshade Preset

A guide detailing a ReShade preset I made (to my tastes), and how to install it.

Introduction + Screenshots

Made a preset according to my tastes; yours might differ. The screenshots were shot at 1440p. This preset gives an ~2-5 fps hit, though your system might handle it differently (I have a 1080ti). Here are some screenshots that will give you an idea as to how the game will look with the preset:

Installation

INSTALLATION(using version 3.07 of ReShade):

1. Download ReShade from https://reshade.me/ and download the preset from http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7196/ (this site has some comparison images)

2. Run the installer, select Nier:Automata as the game and click Direct3D10+.

3. When it prompts you to download the shaders/textures, download them.

4. Save the preset as a .ini file in your game folder.

5. When the game starts, press shift+F2 and select this preset.

NOTE: When you go into the ReShade menu, make sure the path for the shaders and textures are set correctly (\NierAutomata\reshade-shaders\Shaders and \NierAutomata\reshade-shaders\Textures).

How to use ReShade with FAR(after step 4, follow step 5 in the normal installation guide):

1. Uninstall FAR and ReShade for now.

2. Install ReShade, and name dxgi.dll to ReShade64.dll. Rename this presets file to ReShade64.ini

3. Install FAR.

4.in dxgi.ini (the one from FAR), copy and paste this into it (This is ALL case-sensitive):
[Import.ReShade]
Architecture=x64
Filename=ReShade64.dll
Role=ThirdParty
When=PlugIn

FAR is now fully compatible with reshade.

Ah cool thanks for the reply, i figured that was the case

[KingChromo]

I just checked and FAR is now fully compatible with reshade, so no need for extra steps.

Hey, so where it says to use the dxgi.ini from FAR, FAR doesnt install a dxgi.ini. Has it changed since you posted this?

[Rhadz]

haha okay... yep i tried using cracked one now. and i was planned to buy it right after i have money... thank you for explanation

@Rhadz Noviant the MGS Alert sfx only plays if the Game entcounters an error or if you use a cracked version of Nier. Even if you use the DRM free version you will encounter this. I have tried every crack and far version and the sound played only about 2 secs before the game crashed. 7 Hours in the game as legit buyer i encounterd 0 crashes and/or MGS Alert sfx. Also worth meanting we can look into your profil and see that there is no nier automata in your game list XD.

@Rhadz Noviant Sorry, but I'm not sure what could be causing that - I don't have experience with such a problem.
