Hello everyone,
this preset was originally created for personal use, but after a few users had the chance to look at it, I was asked to make it publicly available.

This is a simple preset that does not aim for photorealism, but rather focuses on improving atmosphere and visual immersion. The goal was to achieve a consistent and balanced look that works across all vanilla in-game weather conditions.

Overall, it slightly desaturates the image and enhances light refraction effects. It performs especially well on European summer maps, but also delivers good results in snowy environments, although it may slightly reduce visibility in those conditions.

The preset has been tested to ensure stable performance, with no noticeable impact on gameplay and only a minimal performance cost (maximum 1–2 FPS loss).

Two versions are included:

– Standard (OverlordReshade.ini)
– Cinematic letterbox effect (OverlordReshadeLB.ini)

The only difference between them is the visual letterbox effect, so you can choose whichever suits your preference.

Feedback is welcome.
