Lightweight ReShade presets to enhance Code Vein's visuals without sacrificing performance.

This is a pack of two ReShade presets which may improve your Code Vein experience and one which will definitely make it significantly worse.
Vestige and Successor are both specifically built to tune Code Vein's graphics just enough, as in the sharpening stops short of creating artifacts, the anti-aliasing stops short of causing that weird twitchy shimmering effect, and so on. These presets are made to give the game just a minor boost, and are especially ideal if you have a lower-spec system but still want good-looking results.
Instructions:
5. Follow the prompts at the top of your screen to launch & complete ReShade's tutorial
A successful installation should result in files related to ReShade, including preset(s), appearing in [filepath]\CODE VEIN\CodeVein\Binaries\Win64.
Game Settings:
For Vestige or Successor, set Brightness between 80 and 90 according to personal preference. For Miasma, the default of 60 will suffice.
Vestige & Successor look best with the following settings:
Frame Rate Cap: 60 fps (if you quickly spam dodges and attacks while moving the camera around, the added load on the system can momentarily drop your framerate to 45-50 fps until some of the animations complete. Capping at 60 prevents these brief drops from being as noticeable.)

- Vestige provides a close match to the game's original look, sharpening and smoothing the game while maintaining its muted colours and the slight haziness of far-off objects.
- Successor tweaks the graphics to a greater extent than Vestige. Colours are deepened, shadows are darkened, and the preset overall aims for a more "realistic" look.
- Miasma is the answer to a question no one asked: "What if the miasma really was visibly everywhere?" This preset cloaks everything in a red mist for the enjoyment of enthusiasts of unnecessary realism and artificial difficulty. 0/10, do not recommend, lends a whole new meaning to "blind playthrough".
