wow thats a nice shader. personally i dont use the dof part but the color changes make everything feel way more alive

Trying to get the reshade to work properly but for some reason my Depth of Field just won't work. I don't have a Dx11 tab as seen in the video in the gallery. What should I do?

@thaoska the "Copy depth buffer before clear operations" is in the "Add-ons" tab, and it is unchecked by the default, so it needs to be turned on. The current version is 6.3.3

This made my Rome 2 experience so much better, thank you for this!

@JosephAR that is the Lux Un Umbra preset, however my brightness/gamma may be lower or very different compare to how it looks. You also should use the same submods as the ones I was using in that video, ESPECIALLY the Orbis Terrarum submod as that adjusts the visuals dramatically. (All are linked in the video description)

What reshade is used in this video?

I know the link goes to Lux Un Umbra but whenever I tried it in-game it did not look the same, I did it with all the other mods linked too.

@droppinturds

I personally play with clouds disabled to save FPS/deal with lag so I didn't notice this myself. But a couple solutions for you:

- Make sure you have the same graphic settings as me (In particular the Shader setting)
- Sounds like its probably caused by the "levels" effect, try turning that off to see if it changes it.
- If the above don't work. You will have to go through each of the effects turned on by the Reshade to see which setting would affect it.

Anybody else notice or have a fix for the following:

Have noticed on the campaign map that the shadow from clouds affects the UI. For example if I have an army selected and the unit cards are over a spot that a cloud shadow is passing, the shadow superimposes over the unit cards. Not gamebreaking or anything, just annoying

Work perfectly

Gran trabajo, muchas gracias !!

Hy, my problem is , i dont have the Direct X tab on the far right to go in and pick that option . Why is this ? Do you know? And if i dont have that option, the game might work without it? I have direct X 12.

Anyway mate, i really-really apreciate your job!!!! You made some extraordinary things with this game with your mods, designs etc!!!!...
Dunno what to say!!! Congratulations!!!! :)

@Ragnar wow thanks so much mate! Incredibly kind of you! Glad the preset helps you enjoy the game more :)

Your preset is must now, legit can't believe I played over 1000hrs with that bland vanilla look, can never go back. Looking forward to your marius v sulla campaign especially with the new realistic legions mod you showcased! Your Parthian campaign was one of the most intense and exciting pieces of rome 2 entertainment I have ever seen.

Almost 10,000 unique viewers to this workshop page and over 500 subscribers to it, that's amazing to me! Thank you all so much for your support, I hope this preset has helped make your experiences more immersive!

Small tiny reminder, you do NOT need to subscribe to the mod in order to use it. You just follow the installation instructions and you'll be fine. If you do sub you'll just receive an empty folder (I HAVE to put a folder up in order for me to create this workshop page), it will not affect your game whatsoever but it just isn't needed for you.

Feel free to sub and favorite the mod as it does help spread visibility for the mod and I am very thankful for that, but you all just enjoying yourselves is more than enough for me to be grateful for!

Thanks again and if you have any specific Reshade requests I'm always open to doing more presets in the future for Rome 2 or other Total War titles.

Thank you! :)

@Immersaholic. Well that's not that bad. Anyway I'm using this preset and very glad of it. Nice work!

@Toka Unfortunately that can't be helped friend. The DoF is all based on the positioning of your camera and it doesn't take into account the ui. At least Reshade doesn't for Rome 2.
I still think its worth using but it can't be helped unfortunately.

Very nice! The blur effect also affeccts elements of the UI. Is this normal or is there an option I couldn't find?

@Oriflame Sometimes Reshade is drawing your effects, textures, and preset settings from the wrong file directory. Try going into reshade once your in game, then go to "Settings", then check the 3 different path files for textures, effects, and presets. You need to make sure they are all searching to your main game folder where you have reshade installed.

For example your texture pathway should end in something like "SteamLibrary - Steamapps - common - Total War Rome II - reshade-shaders - Textures

Let me know if that helps mate. The newer versions of reshade seem to be having issues finding the correct reshade pathway sometimes.

I'm stumped; I put your ini file in the main folder and nothing shows up in reshade inside reshade menu for your preset.

Good new - the latest update of Reshade 5.2.1 has the package "SweetFX By CeeJay". I did install the "ReShade_Setup_5.2.1_Addon.exe". So it might not be in the normal 5.2.1. Figured I'd update ya.

@Ski_Mississippi Thanks very much mate, regardless I'll still look into the new update to make sure its not causing issues. I appreciate your time and effort, enjoy your weekend too!

@Immersaholic Thanks for the quick reply hoss. I’ve been using your preset and it still looks and runs great without the Sweet FX .

Btw I enjoy your videos. Enjoy the weekend.

@Ski_Mississippi Without it you'll be missing some visual effects. For now I recommend you find an older version of Reshade online. I'll have to download the latest Reshade and mess with it over the weekend.
Quite frustrating how these things get rearranged but its out of my control.

Cheers for reaching out mate, I'll comment when I know more.

i don't see the package "SweetFX By CeeJay" in the reshade 5.1.0 ... I installed all the packages but 5.1.0 doesn't seem to have that... does it matter?

Yes; it's correct.

@Caos So you still have the DX11 area but its now just under a different category in the reshade menu, is that correct?

@Immersaholic I confirm, with the new version of reshade, DX11 tab do not exist. Of course I have select DX11 during the install. Now it's on addon tab.

@BdoggyDogg Are you sure you enabled it when you first installed reshade mate? Its either that or DX9 I believe.

I have no Dx11 tab :S

Thanks so much for the love and support everyone! Having over 8000 unique visitors to this page is incredible!

I've gone ahead and posted several more pics to the gallery to offer more insight into what the preset does.

good job bro. i cant believe this game is launched in 2013 with this mod

G'day @Witchy mate!
Thanks very much for the kind words!
As for a modlist, it would depend on the playthrough I'm doing at the time. But generally speaking you want to load gameplay changing mods (Such as turns per year mods) ABOVE DeI in the load order. Graphics mods can go above or below usually.

If you are talking about this Reshade Preset though, you should NOT subscribe to it as that is not how you install it. So it shouldn't be in your load order at all :)

I hope this helped mate, if you have more specific questions please feel free to let me know!

Hey man, i just watched your video on Youtube - awesome stuff. One thing I am struggling with it the load order of all these mods, including the use of DEI. Would you by anychance have a modlist that you use, with the load order? Something like that would be really helpful :)

Thanks so much for your hard work!

@alex.gleed Thanks so much mate! I couldn't have reached that far without support from generous people like yourself! Can't wait to see what the future holds :)

Honestly its bloody fantastic and congrats on reaching 2K subscribers on the channel man :)

Thanks so much @summerlands :)
