NieR: ReShade

By Kylie

NieR: ReShade is an enhancement in visual quality compared to the base game.
It adds elements of sharpening, Vibrance & Clarity.

My intention was to create a more detailed, and slightly more pleasant Default looking game. No crazy effects, no bloom, Just an enhanced core experience.

Until NVIDIA drivers come out I can not properly test FPS impact. Be advised, After the first "miniboss" My FPS was random from mid 50's to low 30's on a GTX 970, and OC i5 4690K @4.6GHz

Requirements

I reccemend a GTX 970 and up, Or an AMD equivilant.
You will want to download ReShade 3.0[reshade.me]
Make sure you have a capable system, Running Reshade ontop of a game that you can't keep at 60FPS isn't advised. No one likes it but if you are barely able to keep 60 I reccemend you just enjoy the game.
Glance over my preset page on sfx.thelazy[sfx.thelazy.net]
Download the preset and save it in the NieR: Automata instal location. (..SteamApps\Common\NieRAutomata)

Instal

instal Reshade 3.0.
Find and select the NieRAutomata.exe
Press Instal
Select Direct X 10+
Select to download preset shaders and select the following, Vibrance, LumaSharpen, Clarity.
Go to the NieR location and right click the new dxgi.dll and go to properties.
Make sure you unblock the dxgi.dll.
Congrats! It's installed.

Config

When you now load the game you will see that Reshade compiles the shaders which can take up to 20 seconds, When thats finished it will give you a prompt to hit Shift+F2. DO IT!
A basic tutorial will now follow teaching you the interface, During this interface background input of the game is disabled with KB+M but not controller.
In the presets menu you can click the dropdown box and load up my preset.
If you get FPS issues try turning off the sharpening effects or using another preset file to tweak my sharpening strengths.
I advise going to the config section tab at the top right section and setting toggle all effects to Pause, And changing the screenshot format from bmp to png.

Sharpen Example

This is a visual demonstration how sharpening can give more detail in the image.
On the left, No sharpening. On the right, Luma Sharpen is enabled at only .7 strength More than .7 I find causes more noise than actual sharpening.

Clarity Example

The best way I can describe clarity, is that it helps remove fog and blur from the surrounding view.
Left = Off, Right = with clarity.

Examples

Left = Off Right = On

Does this not work with a newer reshade version? Because i did everything and now my game closes as soon as the window pops up. Can someone help?

To Taugrek

Thank you for steps to use both without problem but Reshade show me 200 FPS and FAR and Steam show me 50 FPS

But, It is amazing and playable at 50 to 60 FPS.

@Saika Darkmoon Its ok now. I found some page, so i deleted everything and did a clear installation again and renamed some files. Now i can use both .

- Uninstall ReShade and FAR.
- Install ReShade again.
- Enter in the game(Steam/steammApps...) to rename dxgi.dll and dxgi.ini into ReShade64.dll and ReShade64.ini.
- Install FAR again.
It works, but still have the same fps ``problem´´(60 in Far and 35 in Reshade).

@Taugrek Sorry but until Klaiden gets proper ReShade support tweaked in I won't be adding FAr support to this RE:Shade.

Taugrek 31 Mar, 2017 @ 3:37pm

I have both Reshade and Far mod. Far mode shos 60 fps but Reshade says 30 or 35 at most.
I renamed the dxgi.dll to ReShade64.dll but is still not compatible.

I've had to flip from windowed to full screen to get the fps back and then return back to windowed.

Taugrek 31 Mar, 2017 @ 12:49pm

Saika you was right.
But after yesterday the game was running again at 60 fps, but now i have the same problem again.

Kylie [author] 26 Mar, 2017 @ 6:45pm

That sounds like it may be a Driver issue. I had to reinstal clean instal NVIDIA drivers before.

The ReShade itself shouldn't do anything diferent that I know of but it does make the game harder to run..

Taugrek 26 Mar, 2017 @ 10:49am

I used Reshade a few days ago with 60+fps, but today i have 35 fps.Why?
