INSTALLATION: Extract all files to PES 2018 main folder.
– Once you’ve extracted the content, open the file
‘dxgi.ini’ with Notepad and change the paths according to where you’ve
extracted the files (pointing to YOUR PES 2018 folder).
– If something goes wrong and Reshade fails to start or if
it shows any error messages, then it’s because you’ve done something wrong
there. So please double check your dxgi.ini file.
Example: in dxgi.ini file, where it says
TextureSearchPaths=F:\2016\STEAM\steamapps\common\PRO
EVOLUTION SOCCER 2018\reshade-shaders\Textures
You have to change it to:
TextureSearchPaths=PATH TO YOUR PES 2018 MAIN
FOLDER\reshade-shaders\Textures
NOTES:
– First of all, I suggest you turn ‘BLOOM’ off in PES 2018
rendering settings.
-Set ingame Brightness/Contrast to 55/45 respectively OR to
35/8. Depending on which preset you’ve chosen to use.
-You may need a high end PC in order to run PES smoothly
with my ReShade presets ON (also, make sure your ReShade is set to ‘Performance
Mode’ by pressing the TAB key on your Keyboard and go to the Settings Tab).
-I’m using Phantom and RainyHancer Turfs pack. I can’t
guarantee how these presets will look on Konami’s default pitches.
-These presets are meant to improve the overall visual
immersion from your preferred cameras. Other graphics (Scoreboards, Menus, etc)
may be affected undesirably, so you might want to toggle Reshade off (by
pressing the PAUSE key on your keyboard) when not playing an actual match.
-Feel free to open the ReShade config by pressing the TAB
key on your keyboard and switching off certain shaders such as: Gaussian Blur,
Surface Blur, HighPassSharpen and Surface Sharpen because I know some of you
won’t like that. I do like the effect of blurred out pitches while maintaining
player shapes sharpened though, that’s why I added those shaders with those
particular settings for each preset, otherwise everything looks a bit too noisy
by default from Konami
