I have a 3440*1440 fisheye screen, and I have always suffered from poor background sedimentation. This mod has improved my problem to a great extent, but according to the QA description, the background improved by this mod is actually just a 2560*1080 picture, which means there is still room for improvement, right?
Yeah, it can be done, I'm not sure how effective it's though. If I can do it, I will post a test version for you to try out the effectiveness. Do you feel the image quality of the kill screen is still somewhat worse then what you see when you are playing right?
(EDIT to why I doubt it's effective): If you are using upscaler, I think your 2560x1080 screenshot will be upscaled by the upscaler (DLSS, etc...) anyway, just not upscaled as good as what you see in-game
every now and then this causes a crash for me, seemingly no indication of when it will crash, it does not generate a crash report, the hunt will end and on the same frame im looking at my desktop. its about like a 1/20 ish though so not a huge deal
Oops, sorry, just see the comments now. If you get the crashes again, you can upload the re2_framework_log.txt file to somewhere and I will see what I can do!
You are a god send.... Thank you for this mod. One of the greatest joy playing MH is the end screen screenshot and Wilds has the shittiest image quality in the history of the universe and modders have to do the job for the devs.
after using this mod. the end quest screenshots do look much better but it still is a little bit worse than MH Worlds (i assume it's mainly caused by the resolution of the screenshots). Image quality improved a lot with the mod but is sometimes inconsistent ( mostly bright areas ) would be nice to see more upgrades of this mod. Thanks again for the mod
I did try to do it, but there are some stuffs that are not very intuitive, so I cut it off:
- Your photo mode image is limited to 256KB, in both save file and on your hunter profile - If I increase the quality, your image size will grown (about ~1MB if you want to preserve the most of quality) - Right now, you can upload hunter profile image with size larger than 256KB to the server. But when the game downloads the image for other hunters to see, the game in its un-modded state, will only download the first 256KB. That will result in your photo on your hunter profile appearing empty/corrupt to other hunter that does not install mod. - I suppose the reason people use photo mode is for capturing picture to upload to your hunter profile. Other people not able to see your image kinda defeat the purpose I guess, so I cut off the idea
The largest size of the image I can force the game to take is 960KB, the quality is still quite good, but again my upper points :(
This mod seems to conflict with Auto Skip Kill Cam if you have Enable Skip Quest End Cutscene on while returning from a quest while riding a moving seikret, which causes you to be stuck in that screen and have to force quit the game
I believe it's coming from this mod, as I tried it as the only mod installed, and it removes the camera zoom while returning from a quest on a seikret, but doesn't get stuck
I suppose so, since I do have to delay the kill cam a few frames then allow it work again, so that this mod can capture screenshot. I will see what I can do
There's not really no way. It's just that, ReShade provides me a very easy way to capture screenshot, in like 3 lines of code.
I figure that I can just force you to go install ReShade, so that I don't have to waste effort trying to go on the internet, copy the code to capture screenshot and fix the bugs that the code I copied. To be fair I just think it's troublesome having to attempt something I don't know when someone already did it for me, and handled all the things I feared (for example differentiate between HDR and SDR screenshot)
If you can provide me the reason why you don't want to install ReShade, but have dabbled in installing mods, I can maybe attempt the effort, maybe it's not really as troublesome as I thought?
my end screen background pictures are working correctly with reshade now which is great, but mine doesnt look nearly as clean as yours. Could you please share your reshade preset if you dont mind? :v
I use AMD FSR with native AA, it makes things sharp with reasonable FPS on my machine, maybe that's also why it looks better. Maybe if you have used ReGraded try to apply some sharpening filters?
- Most people here already using it to have a clean quest result background - The custom photo part is already stable - If I upload the HQ quest result background part to a new mod page: the HDR add-on will be troublesome, since I will need to contact support again so they can approve new files (exe file are scanned manually on Nexus) - The DLL of the mod is named MHWildsHighQualityPhoto.dll, same with the JSON (that save the settings)
I have chosen the following option:
- The page title will be renamed to High Quality Quest Result Background - The new version of the mod will only contain the ability to do high quality quest result background - The ability to upload custom photo to your hunter profile will be moved to a new mod page
What you will benefit:
- For users already using this mod, your settings will be remembered - Installing the new version of the mod will automatically remove the ability to upload custom photo to your hunter profile - The custom photo that you have injected/uploaded will still be kept in your save file/Capcom server For users that only need the custom photo feature: NEW MOD LINK, NO RESHADE NEEDED!
- If you have installed the old version of the mod, you really don't need to upgrade - In case you have installed the old version of the mod, and now you want to install only the custom photo feature, you will need to remove the old version (this mod) and install the new mod - To remove the old mod, please remove these following files bolded:
I don't expect the split to not have bugs, feel free to report them in this discussion. If I can't really solve it in the discussion, I can continue on Discord if it really comes to it.
Really this should have been separated from the beginning, even if we are not talking about the risk or something like that. Really apologise for the inconvenience.
I know, but in my opinion, it's to avoid confusion: if Capcom starts banning people for uploading custom photos, the whole mod will be blamed and people won't recommend it, when there is a part that shouldn't give them problems. People who only use the hq quest result background will fear being banned too. Separating it would avoid this confusion.
They use the same foundation, so I grouped the custom photo and the high quality quest background into one. But yeah, they do serve different purposes. I can split it after I fix some bugs people reported with it
Thank you, I hope it's not very complicated. I personally don't mind having both in the same mod, but after reading the previous comments I thought that it could be an issue in the future.
why would you need a separate mod when you can just, not upload photos
Because one has the potential for abuse while the other one doesn't. But in the eyes of CAPCOM, it will all be the same. And if they stay combined, both will eventually get flagged as a bannable offense, unjustly.
the point is Capcom has not a single humanly possible way to detect exactly WHICH mod you're using in their eyes, you're either using mods or you're not and they cannot ban people based on which "wrong ones" you're using becuz they can't tell
Capcom has not a single humanly possible way to detect exactly WHICH mod
becuz they can't tell
This might be true today. This might also be because lack of evidence.
What is for sure is this : It's their game and it's their Terms of Service. If they want to patch this functionnality in, they will. If they want to ban you, they will. No matter how "in the right" you believe you were.

You're right, but I'm more concerned about the community blaming the whole mod, when it's only one part that's at risk (and I understand it would only happen if someone reports you). I expect a “Don't install Custom Photos mod, you'll get banned”, and some people will believe it and spread misinformation. So the recommendation to split it up was to avoid confusion in the community, rather than to avoid potential bans from Capcom.
No matter how "in the right" you believe you were.
I wasn't talking about if some mods are more "right to use" than others I was pointing out the lack of detection means that if they actually go out of their way to ban mods, there won't be a single "safe" mod becuz they either ban all of you, or none which is why the ban is purely based on in-game reports and other obvious evidence like leaderboards basically they cannot ban you just for having this mod installed they can't do nothing to you if you never uploaded any custom photos, becuz there isn't any evidence of you using this specific mod
Hi guys, given the fact that some people are afraid of getting banned because of the "Custom hunter profile photo" part of the mod, I have separated the mod into two parts: one for the custom hunter profile photo, and one for your HQ quest result background.
I'm not sure if I should create a new page for the HQ quest result background, or upload both mods to the Download section of this page. Hope to hear your opinions before I proceed.
In my opinion, if they don't depend on each other, I think it would be best to have them on different pages.
When I found this mod, I took a look because I was curious about uploading custom photos to the Hunter Profile, but then I was surprised (in a good way) to see that it also worked to fix the background of the search results. So maybe it will also make the search easier for those who want to mod just that.

And the Add-on ReShade version require for this mod to wrok does warn us that using it in MP games can cause bans.
