And he does it again!

Seriously Mate, you do your presets exactly how I like to do mine. It's PERFECTLY balanced.

Nice enhanced shadows/lighting/bloom. Just the PERFECT amount of desaturation. Most presets out there (even the most popular ones) either insert a huge blue tint or desaturate the game so much that it's light years away from VANILLA... which is just ... bad...

Your presets always feel close enough to the original game content (as the game devs intended the image to look) and yet you always find a way to make it look like it should on PC.

Seriously man, keep up the good work. Awesome preset!

I updated to the ReShade 0.18.7 from your link and the latest updated 1.4 preset and lost 10+ FPS.

As soon as I went back to 18.4 and the old preset performance was great again. Seems like theres something wrong with ReShade 0.18.7

DIXI
12 Jun 09:02 CEST

I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working until I learned I had to save the file as ANSI. You Should specify it for the newbs like me!

Anyway, my favorite. Simple preset that gives a realistic look to the game without any performance loss and that doesn't over do it with special effects. Well done again K-putt!

Man that is alot of work that I am not wasting my weekend on lol. You can do it really quick. Just save your game in a big area. Load his shaders and preset and take a screenshot, then without downloaded any other shaders or files download the preset for any other person and load it into the sweetfx file. Load game, take screenshot and compare.

Ha interesting, so apparently I have been using your preset but with Fantasys Sweetfx files and exes and dlls. It actually made for a pretty great looking image.

These sweetfx things are interesting. If I use Fantasys sweetfx preset but keep all the files and take a screenshhot then just load your preset without changing the files and taking a screenshot the two are different. Further interesting is if I completely remove everything(aka fresh install) and use only your files from the download it looks different then vanilla but different then your preset threw fantasys files.

SO then those files in the folders are unique to everyone sweetfx preset. I did not know that.

negru08
29 May 02:05 CEST

How do I completely remove sweetfx? I downloaded the files and ran the exe program. It worked but even after removing all the files I could think of like SweetFX folder, D3D11.dll, D3D11.log, Reshade setup.exe. Reshade32.dll, Resdade32.dll Sweet.fx but when I start my game I still get that screen message its still active just no presets are present. What file am I missing?

TRuBi

This is the preset I like the most since it follows the game's default colours/tints.

Should I disable ingame Sharpening? With it on something looks weird, specially when I'm moving.

If you are wondering how the other presets look or comparing them to this one see my mega post here.

http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/37en5x/sweetfx_preset_comparisons_part_2/

Over 400 screenshots comparing all the major presets in identical scenarios so you can finally get a real apples to apples comparison.

K-putt
28 May 16:13 CEST

The other presets aren't bad. They usually only work in just one particular time though. Removing the orange tint at day will give you a very blue tinted night/dark areas for instance.
I just try to keep the original colors because of that.

Fucking around with the tonemap in recent games is never a really good idea anyway. Their tonemapping is so ridiculously dynamic nowadays.

this is the best settings out there. Those other setting all they did was BLUE TINT crap. look like shit.

27 May 23:56 CEST

I recommend this preset over the other popular ones for the Witcher 3.

This preset does a few things differently.

1) Colors are kept mostly intact and are true to the original game

2) The game looks better, but it's subtle and not overdone

The other presets out there change the colors too much, so I like this one.

K-putt
27 May 03:08 CEST

You're right. The sharpening is a bit much now. And 0.50 is a good value. I'll add that to the preset and call it v1.3. Thanks for letting me know! =)

Also, it's known that the Togglekey is bugged at the moment. Not sure if there is a workaround yet.

Bow2LordEric
26 May 20:49 CEST

I'm running 1.04 GOG and i just installed your FX. My toggle isn't working. I do get the greeting when booting the game, and everything said "successful." What should I do? I want to say the mods are working though. Also, dontpoke is right about the sharpening with 1.04. Tone it down a few and your good guys.

dontpokethebear3893
26 May 19:49 CEST

after the 1.04 patch I noticed that the sharpening on this seemed to be way more annoying and noticable rather than helpful. I toned it down to .50 from .64 and that seemed to do that job

Check that you don't save the file in UTF-8 or Unicode format. It needs to be ANSI format.

K-putt, I want to remove SSAO because it seems it costs some fps on my rig, but if I put "0" instead of "1" in the settings, when I startup the game in the upper left of the screen an error in red appears. Why?

In the end, you can always decide that stuff for yourself. And the Bloom isn't enabled in SweetFX.
The Bloom in SweetFX doesn't even work like proper bloom at the moment.

As long as you disable the sharpening and the AA ingame, you're set.
But then again, it's up to you man.

negru08
21 May 14:49 CEST

SO you turn on bloom even though it is in the Sweetfx?Also you keep sharpening on? Doesnt that make what you have sharpened look weird or does it help your sweetfx settings?

I have Motion blur off, blur on, AA of, Sharpening on, Chromo off, Vintage off, Light shafts off, Bloom on, SSAO , DOF is off.

K-putt
21 May 07:20 CEST

Wrong. It always works. Well, except in OpenGL games. It's still bugged there with SweetFX.

With ReShade there is no need for RadeonPro anymore. I know some people used it to get sFX working on windows 8 machines. Maybe that's why you think you need that tool to get SMAA working. But then again, SMAA was working since SweetFX 1.3 or so. That's already 2-3 years ago now. Man time flies..

jonathan1107
21 May 06:34 CEST

I thought smaa didn't hook unless you use radeon pro correct?

K-putt
21 May 05:55 CEST

I disabled the vignette effect, the chromatic aberration and the ingame AA since the SMAA i'm using here is a bit more accurate and not as blurry.

negru08
21 May 05:04 CEST

SO I am curious what settings did you turn off and what settings did you keep on in the post process menu? Does it automatically cancel out the games settings when it loads?

Normally I could just toggle the setting on and off and visually see the difference but since that doesnt work in the currently preview build I cant tell if my ingame settings are trying to overwite or mesh with sweetfx.

waddams
20 May 22:26 CEST

I like the image smoothness (doesn't seem artificially sharpened) but prefer the saturation and colours of this preset

https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/3712/

since it seems a bit more rich looking than what you have. I think yours would look better with a slight tweak to the colour/saturation level like he is using.

I have no idea what secret sauce you're using to get the image to not seem artificially sharpened since I can't get other presets to match even when I use the same lumasharpen and some other settings. Yours seems just as sharp as theirs without that artificial look. Kudos.

You only need the ReShade.fx, SweetFX.fx and ReShade64.dll files. And the SweetFX folder. Nothing else. Put those into this folder - \Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\x64

Rename the ReShade64.dll into dxgi.dll and you're good to go.
Don't forget to swap out the SweetFX_settings.txt in the SweetFX folder. Don't rename that file though!

Is there a installguide for your preset?
