Also to mention, the cutscene when first going to Anor Londo you see only part of it orange and the surrounding areas as white..
I hope there is a fix to this and is hopefully simple..
If you mean Anor Londo Interior area having white walls or light leaking through the rooms, that's a common issue that still needs fixing
The outside of Anor Londo should look decent enough, not sure what you mean with very orange.
1.15 MIGHT be okay, if it ever existed, but can't download and test that one cause it's not available.
But versions 1.16 & up are all screwed over by this bug that forces me to change brightness to 10 and still not see very well. So whatever happened between 1.14 and 1.16 must be at fault. I hope that helps.
I'm also aware that this bug was supposedly originally fixed in version 0.93, but I see no need to test even earlier versions.
Unluckly the author does not stop at one version to polish it and is not very actively searching for people's feedback and issues, so he works on new versions and issues build up very easily in areas he does not work on as the engine is very convoluted funny to say.
I try to report every issue happening on every new version, but it's difficult to keep reporting issues of the past over and over so we can just hope he sees them in its game play time.
With this i mean, the he still has not done major work on many areas, and only undead asylum or undead burg really can be considered very polished so far.
The vision for this mod is to be closer to the PTDE version, many textures come from PTDE itself first before having upscaling, height maps, and contrast improvements.
If there's areas that currently do not feel like it, it's cause they need more work on.
I said this mod is already the closest to ptde we got since the launch of dsr modding, if you want any closer, just use ptde and the mod from the same author if you like.
what is worse is not intended as i said and just needs further work on those areas, but the vision is to bring it close to ptde.
If you already owned it before deletion that could be the best PTDE look, what i mean is that this mod has the vision to stay close to ptde already.
The author uses 90% textures from PTDE before working on them instead of the vanilla you find in DSR, the armors are so much closer to ptde than DSR and much more in that regard aswell.
If some areas currently don't feel like it, it's because of issues with the mod the author has yet to fix, for example the light leaking all over anor londo interiors, is not intentional.
So to ask an only PTDE restoration is off-putting, cause the mod already is that and improves upon it.
What I'm trying to say is that what this mod is trying to achieve is causing a bunch of unwanted side effects, and I'm just asking for a separate version that's just PTDE restorations (especially lighting) because that may cause less bugs and fromsoftserve probably can't fix everything with the ultra HD dynamic parallax reflection textures. It's weird asking for less but I hope you understand what im saying
However you yet shared nothing regarding what you whant to mantain and what not. So much in the engine is intertwined, you can't just rip off a thing or two, what you like of the mod that resembles ptde is connected completely to what doesn't.
However consider that the end goal of the mod is to bring the vanilla remaster closer to ptde and all the issues you mentioned are not staying because they are not wanted by the author aswell, he just needs to work on further and polish it where due.
I mean i would understand your anger over the project if for example he decides willingly that the sky from dark blu becomes dark red all of a sudden, but if it is red due to a bug, that will eventually go away, so just asking to fix the issues is the same as asking for more ptde feel.
The Rainbow and Dark splitscreen is most likely what you see when you enable the DisplayDepth fx or something, as that is needed for you to debug if depth is properly working, ideally in the dark screen you would see the game fading from pitch black to light grey, and not just a pitch black screen without the game.
You should disable it once done debugging
I would advice not to use the preset if you are not already aquainted with reshade and know how to tweak presets to your liking and what each setting does and so on. Better start experimenting with few .fx you know of than those you find in presets.

Is there a setting or parameter to just tell it where the exe is?
Be sure you don't run the .bat file with admin privileges also.
If that doesn't work, i post here multiple solutions given in the times, hopefully one works for this case.
COPY
The following is a list of suggestions for people having issues with the .bat file, hopefully one of them works for you,
but i never had any
problems with it myself.
be sure steam is running in the background.
Here's a copy of assistance on the matter for an other user, some tips might end up helping.
Suggestion for having it work, is as follows.
The user dav5run suggested the following some time ago.
"So I needed to update to the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++, and I found it on the Microsoft website. Currently, the most updated version is 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022
Redistributable (x86) - 14.42.34433.0'. I installed the (x64) version,
but the (x86) should work as well."
If that is not enough you could also use the following tip from me:
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one
You download it, extract the folder and run the intall all file as
administrator. You can remove the folder or the files after done.
Other than that, what we know is that it should always work with a legit copy of the game that steam has installed.
You can try with the standalone Shader Overhaul mod which has the same .bat
file and process to launch the game, if even with that it doesn't work,
you'd better ask there as they are the official authors of the files.
ah and be sure that the drawparam folder in modengine2 is
empty or it will replace those coming from this mod if you happen to
download the Shader Overhaul mod standalone.
If even that doesn't work you can try the following by Turbozis
For Linux/Steam Deck gamers:
Step 1: Download Simplified ModEngine 2 and extract it to the <game folder>.
Step 2: Edit modengine.toml in <game folder>
[modengine]
Step 3: Create "re-remastered" folder in <game folder>/mods folder.debug = false
[extension.mod_loader]
enabled = true
loose_params = false
mods = [
{ enabled = true, name = "re-remastered", path = "mods/re-remastered" },
{ enabled = true, name = "dsr-lighting", path = "mods/dsr-lighting" }
]
[extension.scylla_hide]
enabled = false
Step 4: Extract DS-R Material Update and everything from <mod archive> except "ModEngine" folder to <game folder>/mods/re-remastered folder.
Step 5: Extract "dsr-lighting" folder from <mod archive>/ModEngine2/ to <game folder>/mods folder.
Step 6: Move dsr-lighting.dll from <game folder>/mods/dsr-lighting to <game folder>/dllMods folder.
Note: your game folder structure should look like this after this step.
Step 7: Add
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
to the game launch options.This method also works for Windows if you exclude step 7. This allows you to
launch the game directly from steam instead of using .bat file.

It also lets you warp wherever which is a good replacement for any Bonfire Overhaul mod.
Whew.
That's it?
That's the mystery that’s stumped the great minds of your generation?
We put a robot on Mars and you’re out here acting like the concept of storage limits is quantum physics?
Let’s break it down before your C drive files a restraining order.
1. You’re treating your C drive like it’s Narnia.
Like if you just believe hard enough, it’ll fit more data. It's not a mystical wardrobe, my dude. It’s finite. Just like your patience. And mine.
2. Your system drive is not your junk drawer.
It’s not where you dump everything you’re too lazy to organize. "C" stands for “Clean me, coward.”
3. Your Downloads folder is a digital landfill.
You’ve got files from four laptops ago. Installer.exe. Installer (1). Installer_final_FINAL.exe. Bro. You’re not saving files, you’re collecting regrets.
4. You installed 100GB of games on your OS drive and you're surprised it's full?
You’re the kind of person who’d park a monster truck in a compact spot and wonder why no one else can fit.
5. Your desktop has so many icons it looks like Minesweeper.
There are probably endangered species living between your shortcuts. I need a machete to find the Recycle Bin.
6. Let’s talk about that Recycle Bin.
You’ve never emptied it. Ever. Archaeologists could carbon date half the stuff in there.
7. You haven’t uninstalled an app since Vine died.
You still have Adobe Flash Player. Flash. Player. That’s not just outdated—it’s practically fossilized.
8. You backed up your entire iPhone. Twice. On your system drive.
Your C drive didn't sign up for your emotional baggage.
9. You've got every episode of your favorite show in 1080p… in three different folders.
Why? Are you building a museum?
10. Your idea of “cleaning” is deleting a single JPEG and feeling accomplished.
That’s like bailing water out of the Titanic with a spoon.
11. Your PC probably boots slower than your grandma with dial-up.
And you’re just sitting there, arms crossed, blaming "the computer" like it betrayed you.
12. Your idea of backup is dragging folders to the desktop and hoping for the best.
That’s not a plan—that’s a cry for help with extra steps.
13. Windows Update has given up.
It doesn’t even try anymore. It just sighs quietly and dies inside.
14. You ask if there are "any solutions" like storage space is an unsolved mystery.
Next you’ll be asking where the sun goes at night.
15. There’s an entire terabyte D drive just sitting there, empty, untouched, unloved.
It’s like watching someone starve next to a buffet because the plate they’re using is too small.
16. You heard about cloud storage, but thought it sounded suspicious.
What’s next? You afraid USB sticks are stealing your data at night?
17. You think organizing files is a personality trait.
It’s not. It’s basic survival. Your folders shouldn’t require GPS.
18. Your computer fan screams like it’s in pain because it IS.
It's tired of being a digital pack mule for your chaos.
19. You’ve turned your system drive into a war crime.
If the Geneva Convention had a digital clause, you’d be in court right now.
20. And the cherry on top?
You came here asking for “solutions” like you just discovered fire. You don’t need solutions.
You need an intervention.
You need an exorcism.
You need someone to take away your admin privileges until you prove you understand what a D drive is.
So yes. There ARE solutions.
Kid named C Drive:
But as long as steam installs it wherever you decided, is okay.
If you have steam in the C drive but wish to install games on an other one, there's an option in the settings of steam for doing so where it will create a SteamLibrary folder in the drive of choice and installs games there instead of the default location on C
If not then sometimes we gotta sacrifice some games
