Moar Reshaded:

Wow, a_c!

I guess it's time for a sneak preview for the Vector...

Disclaimer: Reshade in use.

Stunning! I just got myself a new notebook which is a billion times more powerful than my last, I will certainly be trying Reshade again

Hopefully your new laptop has a dedicated graphics card. You will need it for acceptable performance when you activate multiple Reshade effects. For reference, the above shots were taken on an Intel Pentium [email protected] laptop with 4GB RAM and an Intel HD610, all this @ around 30 FPS. OK for screenshots, but to play the game at these graphics settings with 60 FPS you will most likely need something stronger than the typical on-board graphics.

@another_commander my previous one already had a dedicated GPU, but Reshade would bring it to its knees. The new one is an i7 with 8GB of RAM, SSD and a NVidia 1050, so the performance is really stunning at the moment

R is for Reshade

Is it me or are these reshade pics getting even better?

I'm gonna have to look into this at some point...
Nice work a_c

Been spending a little time looking through all these screen shots, a lot of very nice pics here.
I've tried my hand at a few but can't seem to get the HUD to turn off for them. I know there is a key for that, I think it is O, or shift O, but doesn't seem to work with the HUD I'm using, using the ED HUD orange currently, newest version.

The key is "o" but you need to be in pause.

Thank you for that.

@another_commander Would you care to share your Reshade settings? What effects are you using?

Glad you asked . Here is a link to the ini file that generates the effects as seen on those shots: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oP0TS ... VzDY4YF7RV. Just drop this file inside oolite.app, run the game and select the ini file from the built-in Reshade window (Shift+F2 by default to bring it up). Let me know if any problems are encountered.

Edit: For completeness, the effects used are Vibrance, BloomAndLensFlares, Curves, DPX, LUT, Technicolor and SMAA.

Many thanks! I will be giving this a try later tonight. I played a bit around Reshade yesterday and though the performance is all right with my new notebook it is still nearly 40% worse than without it! I quite enjoyed using the Chromatic Aberration one, makes the HUDs and text look wonderful

Some effects are much heavier than others. You will find that there are plenty which barely cause a hiccup. The challenge is to find the good looking ones, which at the same time don't tax the system too heavily.

Edit: Just to keep it on topic:
