This unfortunately doesn't really look like the pictures for me. When setting up ReShade I checked all the Shaders in the list that you could (I just pressed uncheck all and then check again).

When looking at the .ini file of your preset it lists Ambientlight.fx, DOF.fx, FilmicPass.fx and qUINT_sharp.fx, however I have none of these shaders in my list.

Do I need to get these somewhere else, or are the only shaders you used HDR, DPX and LumaSharpen?

Amazing preset, isnt quite like the screen shots, but it adds an amazing amount of color and clarity

Game looks good enough to eat now. Thanks for sharing the know-how

those damn reshades never look as good as the screenshots :D, used this one and its not even close to those screenshots xD

anyone else having troubles with this preset?

Hello, thanks for this Preset.

What options (And what mods) are you using?

How do I access the warhammer 2 directory? I am a total noob at this, but I copied the Preset into local files and still cannot hit the home button. I get a message saying that the reshade is installed click home, but it will not work. Could someone help me? Thank you

cant use this reshade with autofocus while pressing alt + K for a cinematic view, only pressing K works

Canyou pls tell us what to check... for some ppl we have nothing

sorry，why i cant choose Direct3D 10/11/12,i can only choose Direct3D 9

Hi how to choose the key in settings, to snap Effects Toggle Key please thank you.

What settings to include in the game itself. Maybe ssao?

@der_worst_assassin You press the home button... Like on your keybord..

this is a stupid question but how do you go to "home"?

Works great, appreciate it a bunch bro!!

Ok, maybe this *.ini seems to be old enough to give us nothing on a new 4.9.1 Reshade. Only few shaders enabled when loading preset.

@raidiactiveman You have to enable DoF effect yourself by going into effects menu and enabling Magic_DOF effect everytime you wanna do screenshot.

Nothings is enabled when i download the preset

The file I downloaded today from the link only has 4 effects enabled and looks nothing remotely close to the color/effect template in the screenshots here...what happened?

for me the preset makes the image gamma so dark that i cant see any details on units beside its good lighting. Any tips for the game gamma/brightness settings or do you use 20/12 standart?

especially i don't see the depth of fields effect

i loaded your preset but I don't see the effect the same as your screenshot does, how come?

Updated the link again so anyone can download the file without any need for permission (and stuff like that).

I’ve updated the preset file as well as Google Drive link. As for the update, I’ve tweaked Ambient Lightning, which means it shouldn’t burn your eyes anymore (or at least lot less). Best way to see it is to open Technology or Diplomacy panels, as well as playing on sand maps (basically any Tomb Kings map). I should note that Vanilla Tomb Kings maps still might look too much bright, so I again recommend trying one of the lightning mods to at least partly fix the issue. Enjoy everyone, thanks for downloading and playing with my preset :)

Alright, will do :) Thanks Matthew, looking forward to the new version whenever you're able to get it out!

@YoungHappy Thanks for compliments :D As far as I know it should run without problem, and even if some effects have yellow color (something that started to happen few versions ago) they work absolutely fine. So give it a try and if it doesn't work then please just wait for new version, I'm currently just experimenting with new effects and tweaking existing ones (particulary AmbientLight so it isn't so intense).

Hey Matthew, is it still okay to run this on an older reshade version (4.5.0 presumably) while you work on an update for 4.9.0? Looking at jumping back into WH2 for the first time in a few months and your preset looks like it'll add a whole new layer of enjoyment!

Forget my question. I have the answer.

Hello I have a little problem the reshade works very well. On the other hand, I no longer have dust as the units move or run.

Hell yeah! That's awesome man. pretty much had to tweak a lot by myself to get the look I wanted. Found some really awesome new settings though. @AbortedMan. and to everyone wanting to use Depth of field: To fix DoF on the newest version (the depth buffer specifically) press Home and look up at the top for the D3x11 tab. Select that tab and check mark "Use aspect ratio heuristics"... Check mark "Copy depth buffer before clear operations" And check mark your resolution (1920x1080 or whatever) DONE DoF will now work!

I'm currently doing new preset build on newest Reshade version, I'll let you all know when It's released.

For all the people having issues with DoF in Reshade, I resolved it by using Reshade 4.5.0. Any version after that exhibits issues with the depth buffer. Not sure why or what the science behind it is, but 4.5.0 is the only version where DoF consistently works for me.

Why do i see everywhere people recommend direct3d 10+ version when installing. For me if i instal with those reshade crashes my game on start no matter what i do except with one very old version of reshade it works. I have to install Vulkan API for latest versions of reshade to work

@Matthew yeah man. Ive messed with it for almost 3 full days.. I thought i had it figured out but I was wrong.. If you turn on displaydepth.fx and look straight ahead in a battle map everything looks fine.. as soon as you turn the camera 30 degrees to the left or right the depth messes up. I've reached out to other reshade preset creators and hopefully we can figure it out this afternoon on discord.. This is looking forward https://www.screencast.com/users/Calibrated/folders/Capture/media/b34a7a12-1974-4f54-8a4e-f86967729e01 and this is how it looks when you turn the camera https://www.screencast.com/users/Calibrated/folders/Capture/media/48d6f84d-de66-4582-9dac-b2cc57bc56ce

Looks like I'll have to start making new version that will run on newer version of Reshade, since I indeed also noticed DoF problems.

@Calibrated,
Can you tell us how to get the DoF? I'm also having problems with it

I also agree with Crazyivan the contrast seems too intense.

There is no depth of field like in all the screenshots. Yes sharpness is off. Yes latest reshade version. I usually use a different preset and that preset also has no longer functioning DoF with the latest Reshade update.. Installing an older version also does not seem to work.

Hay MAtt used this i like it but it is a little dark in places can you lighten it up abit other wise great mod

@yaVuz Thanks man! I always use the newest version which developer of Reshade release, since most of the time it doesn't affect the preset alone. However,I plan to do some update soon, which would be on one of those newer version with some effects changed or tweaked. Until that using the current version of my preset on any Reshade version should be fine, if not, I'll look into it :D

@MC Glad to hear that and that I could help :)

Hi Matthew firstly wanted to thank you a lot. Can you tell us which reshade version we should use with your preset?(i think you may add a note on this page about that). Because I'm still using an old version 4.5.4 and newer versions breaking my own preset...4.9.0 released but havent tested it yet. Thanks for your great work!

Thanks for help and fast respond really appreciate that :D

@MC Go into your TWWH2 steam foldr, and remove these files:
reshade-shaders
DefaultPreset
dxgi.dll
dxgi
Reshade

How can I (eventually) remove whole reshade and his files? It may be stupid question, I'm asking for the future

Turning off ambientlights helped alot, thanks

@dborth You're ok with base 4 effects, use MagicDOF if you want to take screenshots and FilmicPass if you want to have darker overall look.

@VulkanLordofDrakes Try turning "AmbientLight" effect off, that should help.

@LCDC It doesn't affect FPS at all for me, some people said it willtake 5FPS at max if at all, so you should be good with bigger unit sizes mods.

@Noah in da House That's indeed all you need + enable MagicDOF if you want to make screenshots. If not, turn it off or otherwise your game will look pretty bad.
