E3 2017
Preset description:
Messing with the settings doesn't do much change on the surface for Watch_Dogs, had to go in depth, looks pretty now. :3
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZVcjBwV9ao
Tutorial:
1. Go to https://reshade.me and download it.
2. Open the reshade .exe installer and click the big button and locate your game .exe and open it (you can find your .exe where you installed your game, make sure you don't choose the launcher, just the game).
3. Select the DirectX version, this is Watch_Dogs, so it uses 11, choose the second checkbox option even if it seems to be selected. (Tip: Check steam game pages to find DX version)
3. Click yes for any prompts (ex:- Download presets)
4. Open your game and wait, it might be a bit unresponsive at first.
5. Press Shift+F2, and follow the tutorial.
6. To complete the tutorial, click the + button, write in a name for the preset, for this, use "E3 2017" (this preset's name :P). Click continue till there's no red boxes and so the tutorial is over.
7. Click a checkbox or two, if you don't, the E3 2017.ini won't be saved (doesn't matter, any box). Now close the game.
8. Open the downloaded preset from this page, and select everything (Ctrl+A) and copy everything (Ctrl+C thereafter), and paste it in the Nextgen.ini file in the game directory and save the changes.
Now open the game again and voila, the unresponsive start as the shaders are loaded will always be there and it's normal. The graphics will now be of this preset.
If anytime you wan't to disable or enable this effect on the fly, open the Reshade Menu again (Shift+F2), go to settings, and click the box next to toggle hotkey (second option), and press a key like Scroll Lock. Now when you press that key, the effect will be disabled/enabled.
