This preset aims for a clean, bright and fresh springtime of the year look.
My goal was to keep the game bright and colorful while adding some directional DOF, which emulates the human eye and will blur surrounding objects and landscape which isn't being looked at, as well as adding bloom and lens flare which is aesthetically pleasing but doesn't bother you while playing. At the same time, I tried to keep to the original look of the game, which is bright and realistic. Many presets make the game too dark, and while some look really nice, it's just not the way you'd encounter it if you were to go for a walk outside in the woods or nature in general.
Installation
- Download ReShade 3.1.1 here.

- Close the program.
- Download my preset (If you haven't already).
- Extract the content of the .rar/.zip file.
- Copy the single file contained into your game directory; Kingdom Come Deliverance\Bin\Win64.
- Start the game. If this will be your first time running the ReShade, it will show you some tutorials which you can just skip through to the end.
- In-game hit SHIFT+F2, this will bring the ReShade window onto your screen.
- At the Home tab, you will see a drop-down menu.
- From that drop-down menu, find and choose "Spring ReShade".

Performance:
I'm running this game with an I7 6700K, EVGA 980ti sc, SSD, and 16GB of DDR3 RAM. My FPS loss with this preset is around 20 FPS. I'm playing on all Ultra-High settings except shadows, those are medium. Average FPS is around 50-60, except when inside castles, but those are even without any ReShade always down in the 40's for me.
Version:
- Spring ReShade 1.4 (Original version of the preset as to my personal preference)
- Spring ReShade 1.4a brighter version (Alternate lighting for brighter interiors and nights at cost of brighter and washed-out daytime outsides)(See last pictures in line)
Updates:
1.0 - Main release
1.1 - Tried to fix an issue with the DOF inside of conversations
1.1 - Added alternate (brighter) version of main preset
1.2 - Tweaked the brightness just a tad bit to see the horizon for navigation at night.
1.3 - Added MXAO to add a little more visual enhancement and removed FXAA to gain minimal FPS on both versions
1.4 - Lowered Ambient Obscurance (MXAO)

(If you position yourself correctly this will fix the issue with your conversation partner being slightly blurred due to DOF in the cinematic camera)
Known Issues:
The character/NPC faces are a little blurred during conversation, I've already managed to decreased this side-effect, but unfortunately, it's either that or no directional DOF at all which greatly decreases visual appearance overall. This is due to the game's cinematic conversation camera, if the camera would remain in a first-person perspective during conversation then this wouldn't be an issue.
