The AC2 Remaster for PC!

Created by TaylorBlake
Added April 19, 2017
Shader used: ReShade
Preset description:
Guys, I'm a complete novice at this stuff as far as shaders and 3D/color modifications are concerned, but there was so much room for improvement in this title with so little effort required that I had to add a preset I created that's looking really nice in all scenes now. NOTE - This preset is by no means FPS-friendly, though if you're running at any resolution lower than 4K on a fairly recent system, it shouldn't matter. Laughably, I'm currently playing on a 1080 Ti now, but at 4K DSR and 8X MSAA in-game plus MFAA (so effectively 16x AA). I'm only doing this because I CAN and because I never like seeing my GPU underutilized, but you shouldn't have any need for in-game MSAA with these settings and any resolution 1440p or higher. I'm basically throwing every amazing looking setting at the game to get as much out of my GPU as I can since this title doesn't tax it. Consider it the closest we're going to get to an AC:2 Remaster for PC! This is an INI preset for the latest version of ReShade. Drop it in your game folder and select it in the ReShade overlay dropdown.
An overview of shaders used: AdaptiveSharpen (moderate; makes the game look like a newer gen game without creating ugly, shimmering white outlines) Bloom (very minimal) Clarity (aggressive; almost creates the illusion of ambient occlusion between the edges of 2D textures) DPX (very significant; heavily tweaked over hours of gameplay to get a balance that looks great and natural in every scene, not just day or night) HDR (adds wonderful dynamic contrast when changing the amount of light in the scene drastically) Levels (slightly lower gamma to darken corners with low light and remove the white-washing at the edges of bright scenes; you may find need to raise this depending on your display) SMAA (aggressive; can replace any need for in-game multi-sampling 1440p and up) I want to add MXAO to this game, as it looks FANTASTIC, but the depth buffer isn't working properly with that shader and all static objects in the foreground as well as the character models and HUD elements (including Ezio) look completely transparent when overlapped with any area that the MXAO is being applied to so it's too distracting to use.

Is there a way to extract the files from the ps4 or xbox 1 ezio collection then copy it over the pc graphic files?

You mean your friend is getting this issue with this preset? MXAO shouldn't be on but if it is, juts turn it off.

Or are you just sharing that your friend had the same issue as me in this game with MXAO?
