Preset description:

Dead Space 2 graphics are actually very good even for today standards, but I want to give it some tweaks to remove green tint and to power the lights/shadows. Not too bright not too dark, just a touch... Effects, -Lumasharpen -Chromatic aberration -Lift gamma gain -Curves -Quint Bloom -Quint lightroom Disable in-game, -Bloom -Glow -Post process -Motion Blur -Vsync (Enable it via NVCP) *Triple Buffer - Disable it via NVCP Install, Download last reshade version from https://reshade.me/ Look for the DeadSpace2.exe Install for DX9 API Check libraries, standard, sweetfx and Quint Download my preset and change file to *.ini. Then place it inside DeadSpace2.exe folder Start game. You can open reshade console with "Home" key and setup a key to enable/disable the preset. Open console and look for the preset file at the top bar, in order to select it and get loaded. Tips, By default, the Steam version comes with some kind of DLC already included. It means that at the first Store you will have all suits/weapons unlocked. I recommend to use the 1.0 version of the executable file. You can find it at https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home DS2 suffers from mouse acceleration issues. There is a fix that worked fine for me at PcgamingWiki. (v1.2.1) By default the brightness level is extremely high (at least for me). I set the slider 18 steps from the left. Best regards,
