Uber Picture Quality (Graphics & SpecialK Support)

By Goth Dobes!

Wow that TAA is blurry and badly implemented like a lot of games... well, this isn't your peasant's Reshade so let's fix that.

Clear Picture Go!

!ATTENTION! Turn off in-game anti-aliasing (AA), you can do this before or after you install this reshade profile. You do not have to restart game if you turn it off after installation. You will know this is working if there is text-bar at the top-left of your screen when the game starts after the inital logo.

This reshade is solely made to handle AA better while leaving the picture clearer and sharper as well, as opposed to most that make it more blurry or use very poor sharpening.

Now, here's an image comparison with no 'AA' on at all versus this Reshade:

And now some standalones:

(Some pictures had slightly different settings used while tweaking was worked on)
Neato. And for those that care, this uses SMAA and High Pass Sharp fx (I wish I could use Fine Sharp on these darn HDR color games).

So, if you wanna download and install this here's the link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i85g87lyini2jnx/FINAL%20FANTASY%20XV.7z?dl=0

Installation is just as simple as dropping what's inside this archive, as is, directly into your FFXV folder - \steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV
BAM!!! Donezo.

Now, if you are using SpecialK, well, I gotcha covered.

You're gonna down load this thing from him - https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/download/sk_special_projects/SK_FFXV_ReShade.7z - and then download from me here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/wh4dzsazcy4pgkz/FINAL%20FANTASY%20XV%20SPECIAL%20K.7z?dl=0 - and you will want to overwrite the "ReShade64.dll" from his download and put mine over it; just drag and drop from my archive and overwrite anything.

If there is any problems with it running, it is NOT related to this installation but most likely a software conflict with other overlay programs, operating system, or anti-virus/malware software.

*Performance adjustments made

Thank You!
I hope you are pleased with the results enough to 'favorite' this and 'rate up'. Thank you and here's some other Reshade Steam Guides I've done for other games:

seems broken now with recent reshade and new special K

Steam Deck is not supported since it already uses dxgi.dll for tone mapping. If using this on top of it, the tone mapping breaks.

Is this compatible with the Steam Deck OLED HDR? I tried applying lumasharpen from the reshade and the image (color/contrast) got totally broken. Need help :(

Yes you do, good sir maam.

With the instructions for special k, do I have to have special k already installed or not?

Updated Reshade to version 4.0.2

Lumasharpen... *cringes* naw I don't like blur or halfarsery over the this.

tested during 2 hours of play and the fps were really stable without any fps drop or in rare cases, I notice a better experience and a more consistent FPS than with the integrated TAA of the game which is the worst antialiasing I have seen.

Blanky 1 Apr, 2018 @ 10:19pm

thank you very much, I have put a little more intensity and now I am ideal and fantastic, in my settings I also add LumaSharpen and it does not look so blurry and the contours are smooth and a very clear and smooth image, thanks really your adjustments they improved my experience;)
