Enhanced distant objects and shadows

Shader used: ReShade

Preset description:

Tried to enhance a bit the game for GTX 970 OCed. My configs vary from high to ultra and using HD textures "DLC", but SHADOWS on LOW. With this game works between 60-50FPS (60FPS mostly were no direct lighting sources casting shadows). I tried some profiles I found and changed from them to avoid useless layers of shaders in order to eliminate overload, changed parameters and used new shaders instead. Sadly, sometimes the FPS loss is too big and may be needed to remove some effect or the shole reshade. It can be played most of the time and tried to decrease effects in serch of performance. I added DOF to avoid distant objects look low quality, avoid popping and avoid the ugly jaggies in far low LOD objects. Best option for me was MatsoDOF, but it was too demanding; tried MagicDOF and was less demanding but less accurate. Finally I opted to choose the slight DOF added by depthhaze. USAGE and INSTALLATION: -Install Reshade (I used last 3.4.1) and choose DX10+ for kingdomcome.exe. -Copy this "KCDmio.ini" file in the folder "..\Kingdom Come Deliverance\bin\Win64". -In game, press SHIFT-F2 and choose the "KCDmio.ini" preset. (NOTE: If name of the txt file is changed, just copy the text and change extension to .ini and just select whichever name you set to file in the reshade menu, SHIFT-F2). NOTE: If you want to remove effects from compass (as you should) you have to download this PNG image (https://i.imgur.com/R2MzwIU.png) and rename it as UIMask.png and copy it (and overwrite original) to this folder: ..\Kingdom Come Deliverance\bin\Win64\reshade-shaders\Textures It's for 1920x1200, you can create your own resolution... or disable UIMASK. You can add single shortkeys to remove each shader during the game (depthhaze for interiors and HDR or bloom) if you like to gain a bit. FPS loss from none to 10-12FPS max. Problems come when in ares where not reaching the 60FPS without reshade. Better GPUs will add some room for that. ------------------------ Used shaders: -Depthhaze (for DOF). -HDR (slight just to improve shadows and bloom). -MagicBloom: Slight, as game itself uses. No problems with texts so far. -Vibrance: Slight saturation and correction of reds (adding a bit). -Lumasharpen: Very slight, to correct a bit the medium distances (after DOF). -UI Mask: Applied on the compass (does not affect menus, at least in 1920x1200, as game menus are in 1080 adding bars. (Initially added the aiming cursor point to the mask, but removed it later to avoid that to interfere when no cursor is on screen).
