Shader used: SweetFX 2.0
Preset description:
Courtesy of Hodi a great video of the preset in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QqxhmaWyIE Please note this preset is intended to be used at default gamma level (ie slider in the middle). If you have adjusted your gamma level either return it to default or follow the instructions in the comments in editing rgb_lift if you wish to change the darkness paramaters. Download Reshade + Sweetfx 2.0 Beta here: http://reshade.me/ Follow the instructions to install reshade then copy the preset into the corresponding SweetFX directory in the game folder. Scroll lock to enable/disable Print screen for screenshots Works on Win 8.1 :) Please ensure you don't have any other applications which hook enabled such as Fraps/Dxtory/Afterburner as this will conflict with Sweetfx (Disable steam overlay as well). Manual install instructions: 1. Go to www.reshade.me and download the Reshade + Sweetfx 2.0 pack 2. Unzip and copy the sweetfx folder, reshade64.dll, reshade.fx and sweetfx.fx files to the witcher exe directory in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64 3. Rename reshade64.dll to d3d11.dll 4. Delete SweetFX_Settings file in the sweetfx folder. 5. Download my settings here 6. Rename the settings file to SweetFX_Settings and copy it into the sweetfx folder in the game directory. V1.1: -Changes to gamma settings to provide more realistic nights without impacting daytime colouring/shading. Should make the torch useful now in darker forests. -All screenshots updated to reflect 1.1 settings. The toggle function currently isn't working in reshade 0.18.40 and the witcher 3 (undoubtedly will be fixed in a next release), as long as it says successful in the reshade prompt at the start, then everything is working.

Hello.
After last updates and DLCs the game began to crash in the inventory. I tryed all recommendations from this thread:
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threa...the-PC-version
Nothing helped. Also I tryed clean re-install drivers, the game, etc and found the root cause. The crash causes by this SweetFX preset.

Also the game crashes when trying to take a screenshot with SFX.

It worked fine in older versions of the game (no crashes at all). Do anybody have same problem? Is it possible to solve it?

If you use instructions in this preset and game crash, may be search x64 folder for file, called "dsound.dll" and if you have it, rename it to something else (i.e. "dsound.dll.off") and try to launch game again.

This preset makes shadows and other shades look really good, but at the same time it washes some of the colour out a lil bit.

To me it's a really tough choice between using this one and vanilla, as this ones has really nice looking darks, but vanilla has slightly more colour fidelity.

@spawn1702
Just for note, it's not the DLC or the 1.05 patch or anything game-related that adds the new files. It's actually the GOG Galaxy client, and the most likely reason the files are being added is for support of their upcoming overlay.

For those who had troubles download this: http://www.share-online.biz/dl/VK61JHPNTE6P and overwrite all your files.
.
If you have no 3D-Vision simply delete d3d11.dll and the ShaderFixes folder for not running into problems with crash to desctop errors relate to the 3D-fix. AND: Do not forget to include this profile (because the archiv did contain my preset and my be ou do not like it ^^)

I didnt write that.
But also if you delete d3d11.dll from the dlc the preset will work again.

But i wrote u have to rename reshade64.dll to d3d9.dll instead of dxgi.dll to make it work. Thats because the DLC installs a d3d11.dll and a dxgi.dll, wich is not compatible with reshade and reverse.

Thats a fact.

I created account especially to comment this preset. Surely the best one I have seen. No affect on FPS, natural colors without any bad effects and crazy sharpening that kill your eyes, and what is most important here, it has absolutely no effect on on in-game menu, interface, font and letters. Very most of presets affects it all very badly and nearly destroys font and letters, which is terrible in the game like The Witcher, where you are reading a lot all the time. It needs only toggle function working, like all presets, but this is really great job! Thanks.

Georg555
1 Jun 17:51 CEST

Really the best settings you can find here to make the game look naturalistic and color correctly as possible. Removes yellow tint without adding purpl one. I tried a lot fx settings, but this is really the right one. Highly recommended!
p.s. Depending on the monitor settings, you may need to raise a little ingame gamma setting.

@Theegyptianone

Unfortunately the settings were calibrated on my display and i've not had any issues indoors which is always an issue with sweetfx as it can't account for differences in displays. Assuming your in game gamma levels are at default, as suggested previously you should just raise the rgb_lift values under liftgammagain to a level that is acceptable to you.

@Ashii

you need to open the game, then alt tab out and open the sweetfx settings txt file. In that near the top where you can enable each variable, change the three items (liftgammagain, vibrance and curves) to 0 and save, then alt tab back in and sweetfx will be off. Do the same but change the same three variables back to 1 and it will be re-enabled.

Beowulf
22 May 11:37 CEST

Also - HBAO+ makes certain areas darker, so the gamma reduction may seem more pronounced.

ss-89
22 May 09:50 CEST

Yh also curiously I wonder if some people had altered the in game gamma levels prior to using the preset as this is intended for default gamma level (ie slider in the middle). I turned the preset off, adjusted the gamma level for the image to be barely visible and then turned the preset on and exhibited the same crushed blacks and dark interiors. I'd suggest if others have this issue before adjusting rgb_lift values, to just check that in game gamma is at default.

Beowulf
22 May 08:22 CEST

Thank you for the tips. So far I have adjusted gamma to 0.97 and seems a reasonable compromise, since I also had problem with very dark interiors, even during the day. In caves or during the night I still have to use the torch or Cat elixir. But as you said, it heavily depends on the monitor and its calibration, so YMMV.

Hey, really like this preset. Thanks!

It works the same with patch 1.03 for me.

I've been having an issue (since before 1.03), however, where it's stuck on "loading effect..." if the game is set to fullscreen. Both windowed modes work though. If I switch it to fullscreen after it's loaded, the game freezes. If possible, I'd like to have it in fullscreen since I get some precious FPS back. Any ideas?

For my monitor, I boosted rgb_lift values under lift gamma gain to 0.98 in the settings file which helped with the crushing darkness in some areas.

Again, thanks for the is awesome preset!

@dontpokethebear3893

I don't have a problem indoors but I would suggest upping all three rgb_lift values under liftgammagain. It's currently at 0.93 (default is 1), keep upping it until it's to your liking. As with all presets there could be differences in monitor calibration etc so it's worth adjusting for your own setup.

@jcr84

I very much doubt it, could be to do with the latest patch that went through. I'm not sure how to change it back sorry!

Definitely working, tested myself, if it isn't change your resolution to a different one and then back and ensure fullscreen mode is enabled, should kick it back to life.

this preset is GREAT. by far the best one with a color pallet thats properly saturated. the only problem for me, however, is that the lighting indoors is horrid. the gamma is FAR too low to the point that visibility is nonexistent. For instance, in the Barons home in Velen you basically need the act potion to see anything not within a foot of a torch

In Nvidia Control panel I have AA forced, Vsync adaptive.

In-game I think AA is off. Not at home so can't check at the moment.

ss-89
21 May 11:18 CEST

@jonathan1107

Not until reshade fix the current issue I'm afraid

@Beowulf

Under liftgammagain increase all three rgb_lift values (default is 1) if you don't want nights as bright as default but slightly brighter than current then I'd suggest around 0.96. I reduced the brightness at night in order to make the flame torch and cat eyes potion useful otherwise default nights were too bright.

@Dynasty2201

Not sure I'm afraid, there was an issue with reshade 0.18.50 as the gamma was incorrect which is why it was taken down so make sure you're using 0.18.40. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Dynasty2201
21 May 09:15 CEST

As explained in the description the toggle function currently doesn't work in the current version of reshade with Witcher 3 but should be fixed soon, as long as it says successful on launch it is working. You should be able to notice the difference in the colour palette.

Isn't it the RivaTuner Statistic Server component of Afterburner that would be incompatible, not Afterburner itself? Unless I'm mistaken, RSS is the one that has the hook that can give things like frame-rate counters, AB is basically purely for overclocking/hardware monitoring (no hook). Just thought it might be worth mentioning for those who don't want to use this since it's advertised as incompatible with AB.

I usually include it in all my presets except this, as CDPR already included a post-process sharpen filter. If you want go ahead, but I tried it and it looked overly sharp and introduced aliasing which I prefer to reduce than increase :P

Love the preset. Just wondering what your opinions are on adding lumasharpen? Been playing around with it, but not sure it's it make the image look better or worse (definitely more VGX trailer like with the sharpen). Thanks.

@RichterB

That's a quirk of the screenshot as I took too long and the moon shifted on the enabled shot.

I've redone that particular screenshot and you can see that the bloom is still there.

I love this preset, but I like more the vanilla nights. The moon bloom through trees in the 4th pic without SweetFx, is so beaufiul. Do you plant to make a version with default nights of the game? :(

See the description, it's currently not working in reshade 0.18.40

It says the SweetFX is running when starting up, but the Toggle key is not working. SCRoll lock

Nevermind my comment, it seems after a restart I now see the fires again.
Was maybe a bug with the witcher

I have reshade working and it looks great but there seems to be no fire effects anymore in game!
I just tested the starting area where geralt comes out of the tub and there is no more fire in the fireplace and also the candles don't work.
Anyone else with this problem?

@geralt007

Yes maxed out at 1440p on my 5820k@4.5 and Titan X (plus separate GTX 960 for dedicated physx).

@nmark91

Could be a combination of different time of day/area in the game as lighting changes vastly or because you have different graphics settings, as above I am running everything maxed out (including physx and gameworks effects)

@ss-89 Best preset yet looks like the 2014 pc footage from e3. Are you running it maxed out ?

Delete all the sweetfx/reshade files from your directory and follow the manual installation instructions in the description above.

Also please ensure steam overlay is disabled (if using steam) and programs such as msi Afterburner are closed as they can conflict with sweetfx.

Did exactly as instructed but the game won't start, tried it several times. Right after starting up the exe, it crashes and I get a dxgi.log which looks fine to me, and a witcher3.exe_crash file. The game starts up fine without the injector :<

What a great preset, and a breathtaking game! I play this with i7-4790k on 4,8 ghz and GTX 970 4 GB all on ultra except for NVIDIA hair which i turned off. Runs smooth enough.

To install:

1. Download Reshade + Sweetfx 2.0 from http://reshade.me/
2. Open with winrar or anything, and extract all files into your game folder \bin\x64
3. Delete reshade32.dll
4. Rename reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll
5. Download this preset and copy the file in gamefolder \bin\X64\Sweetfx
6. Go into Sweetfx folder, delete SweetFX_settings and rename this preset to SweetFX_settings.
7. DONE!

This preset makes the game complete. Thanks

Yes the toggle function currently isn't working in reshade 0.18.40 and the witcher 3 (undoubtedly will be fixed in a next release).

To manually toggle on off is a bit more of a pain and involves alt tabbing out of the game changing the sweetfx variables to off and saving and alt tabbing back in. Unless you specifically need that function then I wouldn't worry, as long as it says successful in the reshade prompt at the start, then everything is working.

I have the same problem.

I installed Reshade, found the Witcher.exe, placed your preset into the sweetfx folder and ran the game. At the start of the game i see some lines about the sweetfx and i can also make screenshots using print screen on my keyboard. Tho, when using Scroll lock nothing happends. I can't switch it on (or off) Any idea what's wrong?

I can't say for certain as I no longer use windows 7 but I'm pretty sure it will.

Does it work on Windows 7 too?
