Summary and Creator experience during preset branching and playing
GTA IV with better color balance it is, Do note that Color depends on timecycle changes so these where those Lighting mods are needed, sometime looks dark when rainy day when sunny day it looks same to the image i posted. Inside room it depend on Lighting interior color
on some night it looks blue around midnight looks orange realistically some other night might looks like gray and blue in some part of city
During stormy weather it goes dark and only lightning struck and water that can shine around screen, and dark blue after the rain
During windy weather it goes like blue and black with only close environment to player that will show color
We did adjust some of the gamma gain so please do not change any number of its as it might bring back the green color filter
Originally it was installed with HDR shader but since HDR display are not what i have, i never test it, i do hope it works too for HDR display
Remember to turn off DOF and Blur and Filter effects so it not complicate with the reshade shader everytime you use this preset
That's where FusionFix are needed
That's end of my experience, i hope you enjoy best experience with the preset,
if you like this mod don't forget to endorse 👍 or 🔁share this page to other who may need
So much to say but i bid farewell and Thank You for using the mod 🌟 Happy Gaming !
