Requires Blood Omen 2: Re-vamped patch
1 - Download and install the re-vamped patch here: [
u]https://classicrebirth.com/index.php/blood-omen-2-re-vamped/[/u]
- Easy to install. Instruction are found on the page under "DOWNLOADS & RELEVANT LINKS"
2 - Download the reshade preset from this page to the folder of your choosing.
3 - Download and open the latest Reshade install file from
https://reshade.me/
- Select Blood Omen 2(Bo2) and click "Next". Press "OK" on the warning about Direct3D 8. You don't have to follow the instruction in this dialog box. Just ignore it.
- Select Microsoft DirectX 9
- It will now ask to select preset to install. Browse and find the preset you downloaded in step 2. Now all you have to do is press "Next" all the way to the end of installation, as all shaders needed for the preset will be downloaded automatically. Click "Finish".
4 - Launch Blood Omen 2 and press "Home" to open reshade to twiddle and tweak if you like, or leave the preset as is.
Artifacts
- Having "Motion Blur" turned ON might result in some weird graphical "twists", like when you use "Jump" Dark Gift the screen flashes white. This is the FakeHDR shader that doesn't work well with the motion blur setting. If you don't like these extra "effects" just turn off "Motion Blur" in the game menu.
- Ambient Occlusion(corner shadows) will display through ground mist and certain UI/Menu elements at times, but it is in my opinion a small price to pay for the added quality.
Enjoy my very first Reshade preset upload :)
