Beauty Preset (2026 UPDATE)
Preset description:
Vanilla Elex looks really dark and bland with an overly strong HDR effect that makes the world difficult to look at and differenciate everything
Don´t get me wrong - it totally fits the hardcore RPG theme of the game, but lacks the "wow" factor that games like Gothic III had back in it´s time
░░▒▓ 1.3 UPDATE (2026) ▓▒░░
It looks as good as always, but better!
The preset is updated for the latest ELEX (v1.0.2981.0) and ReShade (6.8) versions
While keeping the original feeling of the preset, some FX have been changed:
- TRAA (Temporal Reprojection Anti-Aliasing) instead of the good old FXAA that made everything blurry
- New Bloom / Eye adaptation effects and tweaks (Lighting is now more balanced)- More optimized Clarity 2 for local contrast enhancement- Glamayre's localized GI instead of global ambient light, and much more..
- Fixed issues where some effects would flicker due to dithering
New version uses my Ultimate Graphics Configuration File 2026 by default !
New version uses Darker Nights and Brighter Interiors (Old Weather System) Mod by harryagamez by default !
New feature: removes the annoying long videos when launching the game.
