Cinematic Realism Lighting Overhaul 2.2

Shader used: ReShade
Preset description:
UPDATED VERSION WITH DEPTH OF FIELD HERE (VERSION 2.2): http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/2/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fmasseffectandromeda%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D2%26preview%3D&pUp=1 The download below is like version 1.0, if memory serves. --Video demo here: https://youtu.be/rHXxHU5HTDY-- This ReShade changes the game's atmosphere to something far more cinematic. This mod invokes the feeling you get when you see pre-rendered cinematic trailers for games and are in disbelief because of how stupidly-good everything looks. Well you'll no longer need to merely wonder when graphics will get that good. With this mod, they are that good. This is the mod you're looking for. Light sources will be more pronounced than in the vanilla game :) CONTROLS -Toggle film grain off and on by pressing 3 on the numberpad. -Toggle sharpness with 5 on numpad -Toggle cinematic black bars with 0 on numpad Strongly recommended that you raise your in-game brightness two levels on the bar. I believe you must be on the main menu to access the "screen calibration" setting. --- DO NOT USE MY RESHADE OR ITS INSTRUCTIONS AND REDISTRIBUTE THEM AS YOUR OWN. Make your own ReShade from scratch, please. If you would like help writing instructions or even want help with how to achieve certain looks, feel free to ask me. AGAIN. PLEASE. DO. NOT. REDISTRIBUTE. MY PRESET. If you want a change to this ReShade, please just ask me. I'm accommodating. Thanks.--- VIDEO DEMOS https://youtu.be/rHXxHU5HTDY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn5KAZuLeVmeQLXSMJNBMcA More coming soon. Featured in my lets plays too (posting today and later [3/22]) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1. For me, the game has to be in borderless-windowed mode or windowed mode. Fullscreen crashes ReShade on most games for me. Change this in the in-game options menu before installing ReShade. Also, disable the in-game film grain if you have it on. My ReShade has a custom film grain that's better than the one already in the game. Having them both enabled will make your game too grainy, for most people. 2. Go to https://reshade.me/ and download the Reshade 3.0 framework from there. Come back here. Scroll to bottom of page and download whatever the latest version advertised is. Run the .exe that you just downloaded. Probably best to copy it to your desktop or someone first outside your downloads folder. Follow the steps it tells you selecting yes everything it asks. 3. Select your "MassEffectAndromeda.exe" which is in the main folder of the game. For most it's usually: "...Origin Games\Mass Effect Andromeda" 4. Select the DirectX 10+ version after you select the "MassEffectAndromeda.exe" 5. Run your game As your game loads up, you should see a grey box popup in the top of the screen saying it's loading all the reshade effects. Once it's done, hit "shift+F2" and follow the promps. The most important thing is to hit the plus symbol next near the top of the Reshade GUI and type any name you want. Follow the other prompts until the boxes turn from red to black or grey or whatever indicates you're done with the very short tutorial. You can leave your game open or close it for this next step. 6. Go back to your game's main folder, where the "MassEffectAndromeda.exe" is and look for that file you just created with whatever name you gave. It should be a .ini file. 7. Open the .ini file and replace all the text with the text from my preset on this page. Save the file. Run your game or alt tab back to it. And then do step 7 if you your game is still running. 8. Reopen the Reshade GUI with Shift+f2 and click the click "reload". The new effects should start loading with my custom settings. Profit and enjoy! HOW TO UNINSTALL: Don't. :) But if you insist... 1. Delete the Reshade folder, dxgi.ini, dxgi.dll, and dxgi.log from your game folder. That's it. Click my screen name to see my other ReShades for Ghost Recon Wildlands (I have 2) and For Honor (1). Enjoy, leave comments below if you're having trouble installing or better yet youtube a Resahde 3.0+ install guide. It's extremely easy. You may notice a slight decrease in performance, but it should still be pretty similar FPS to what you usually get. The visual difference is night and day to me and I can't ever go back to vanilla. Feedback is encouraged and I may take request if someone wants a particular change. Definitely let me know if you issues with installing or if if a particular effect makes it too hard to see in a certain condition. Check back every few days or so for updates for this first week or two. I'll try to create a depth of field version of this soon, especially if a lot of people say that's what they want the most. Let me know, please. Cheers fellow Pathfinders!! Ps.

CURSOR BUG?!

Try this, thank user tom-az if this helps you:

"I also had the problem with the cursor in the middle of the screen. I tried many things, until I came to a solution that works for me:

I start the game via the 'MassEffectAndromeda.exe' in Windows Explorer with the setting 'Run program as administrator',

Have now played 3 hours and the problem is no longer occurred."

You can set games (or other programs) to permanently start in administrator mode by going to the ME:A main folder and right clicking MassEffectAndromeda.exe, going to properties, compatibility, and then clicking the "run as administrator" box.

Just raise your brightness or change your monitors color using Nvidia Control Panel, my blacks aren't crushed at all.

Haha well aren't you quite the resoucesfull one, lol. In all seriousness, glad you found a fix. Hopefully people not using ReShade run into the problem too and trick Bioware into fixing that for us.

Wow really appreciate the positive feedback. You made my day, friend.

Glad to know the bloom isn't overdone. Yea I like just left the tutorial planet even though i had the game since launch. Been trying to keep working on my two ReShades for this plus I just launched my youtube channel. Lot's of work, but really happy it's all starting to pay off.

Anyway, cheers!

Hey! Thanks for the quick response! I actually read your comments on the nexus forums, and the not moving your mouse in menus and also alt-tabbing quickly will make it stop.

If I had to take a wild guess I'd say its something to do with Reshade 3's overlay system, but that's nothing that we can really do till they patch it.

At any rate even if its annoying I'm completely and utterly unwilling to NOT use your preset, its that goshdarned amazing.

I did try fullscreen and it does the same thing, although mine did not crash when moving back and forth from windowed borderless to fullscreen. I pretty much only play in windowed borderless anyway because I have two monitors. Mostly the problem for me came in when I was going to the other monitor to look things up, etc.

So far the bloom seems fine to me! I don't use the grain or the cinematic bars myself. Also, thanks for the sharpness key fix, I had noticed it didn't work. But that I definitely love.

Hey Naiadelle!

Really appreciate the kind words!

So I play with a gamepad and the cursor seems to stay out of my way even after alt tabbing, for the most part. If it comes up for me, if I alt-tab out and back again, it goes away right away with the controller connected.

Someone from another page says that if you don't let the cursor move after selecting a dilaougue option, that seems to fix it for him. I think he uses a keyboard-mouse.

Finally i suggest seeing if you can get the game to run in borderless-windowed mode (that's how I run it and the problems don't come up during cut-scenes). If you already run in borderless, then try regular fullscreen BUT be prepared to cut-paste your ReShade files into a seperate folder and put them back because fullscreen makes my ME:A instant CTD with ReShade. So you'll need to take the files out of your ME:A folder and rerun the game plain and change it back to borderless-windowed if it CTD's and you get stuck in a CTD loop.

Does that make sense?

Feedback question, how's the bloom? I've got further into the game and it seems the bloom is a bit overdone in some scenes (mostly in cutscenes), is it ok for you? I can patch it to be a little less noticeable. Or I can make it toggleable with one of the numpad buttons.

Thanks again for your comments! Oh also make sure your drivers are updated. I'm not sure if this problem would be resolved by that but I hope so. My drivers aren't updated if there is a new on since ME:A came out.

I love this preset. It is seriously amazing! That being said, I hope you could help me with a problem I'm having.

If I alt-tab out of the game, my mouse cursor has a tendency to show up in the middle of the screen. It's not a huge deal in the game, but in cutscenes its immersion-breaking.

Sometimes I can get it to chill out by going to the menus and clicking through them, but its impossible to do that every time.

I know the simplest answer is hey, don't alt-tab! But I was hoping maybe we could figure out another one.

Hey kav,

Is everything working ok for you now? Sounds like it? Yea creating it externally should work fine.

Hey @AsaMi,

Really glad you like it! Glad to controls work. Yea I really miss the somberness of ME1's graphics style and colors.

To be clear, pressing 3 on the keys right above the keyboard or below the Function keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) won't do anything. It has to be the keys on the numberpad.

Hey AsaMi.

I set it up so you should be able to just press "3" on your keyboard's numpad (even with a controller connected) and it should cut the film grain off. If that doesn't work, then open the ReShade menu (default control is shift+f2) and look along the left side of the window that opens up showing all the graphics effects. You'll see one called Film Grain and it should have a box next to it like all the other settings. Click that box, which should be blue, to disable Film Grain.

All effects can be toggled in this way. Any effect that has a blue box means its enabled.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your interest in my ReShade! If those instructions don't work, I'll post a link for a version of my mod with the Film Grain disabled.

Cheers!

Hello, I like your work but the film grain is a little bit too grainy for me (I ve disabled the ig film grain). Which settings can I modify to change that plz and have something more smooth?

Check out my vids on this. You can see fine in what appear to be black spots while the game is actually in motion. Appreciate the feedback. May lighten it a little.

Then you'll love my other preset for this. Not a dark to be found.

Way way way too dark, crushed blacks. Common sweetfx mistake: believing massive contrast and crushed blacks looks good.
