Does this still work with ReShade version xyz?
I am currently using version 5.6.0. It will most likely work with newer versions. Just try the newest version of ReShade and if there’s any trouble, revert to the version I used.
Is this preset a bit dark?
This ReShade preset is made for a cinematic home environment. If you are sitting in a bright environment, please adjust your game brightness, if necessary.
