Now, I use linux but still I managed to install your mod. A bit of fiddling as hidden directories can't be chosen but well... I hope I got it right, seems to look better though I haven't noticed improved framerates - also AA still sucks a bit, but I think this is a well known problem with ED... especially on AMD cards (RX 6700 in my case).
I have a few questions if you don't mind:
a) Is it mandatory to use SMAA as anti aliasing? I seem to get better results with the FXAA AA...
b) Will the mod be overwritten after Steam updates the game files?
c) if I run into problems or decide to want to go back to the original how do I uninstall your fix?
d) One thing that wasn't clear to me in your description: When applying the changes which boxes do I have to tick to get the best result? (Honestly I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of tick boxes and options in the reshade.exe application. I unticked everything and just applied the one that was pre-ticked when loading the 1.2A file. I hope I got that right...)
Sorry for asking - I am quite alright with linux tinkering but completely new to modding... :-)
Sorry for the delayed response, been a bit busy as of late.
I did not test on Linux however the limitations of Windows (CPU usage and additional RAM allocation, unless you're using a very very heavy Linux distro) and being that Linux would be using Proton it's very likely the performance difference on Windows would not apply. (Big fan of Linux myself)
Radeon cards should have no issue running the same shader. I tested the shader on a RTX 3080 Ti however that should make no difference.
a) Proton version would very likely dictate the consistency of frames and overall feel of the game. I can't attest to if SMAA or FXAA would look better on your particular monitor while on Linux as it also handles shader generation and edges differently so your results might vary. The reason you'll get a higher frame count with FXAA is it's a much simpler version of AA. So it uses less resources as a result. Your screen clarity might be worse due to this also.
b) No files should be removed during an update from Steam. Steam only replaces files it uses.
c) The Shader preset enables all check boxes it requires, it will download the packs itself and pull only what it needs from those individual creators.
Hope that helps, feel free to follow up with any clarifications you might need.

Thanks for working on improving the looks!
