ps: AA in reshade will add a blur to text and menus. It is meant to blend grass, rocks trees. If you don’t like the look of this, unselect DLAA_Plus.fx
If you feel it’s too dark, uncheck Vignette.fx and see what you think.
pss: Added shadows have issues showing up in menu screens and cut scenes. The button to switch this on and off has been pre assigned to the END key. just toggle shadows off and on when it gets in your way. its an unfortunate side effect of MXAO and RTGI. Its a limitation that can’t be avoided. Still worth it in my opinion.
