  • To acquire iMMERSE Pro, user needs Discord account and Patreon account.
  • Lastly, for these .fx to function like seen in the photos above - the in-game settings need to be: '0' - '0' in the 'Display Calibration' and the slider needs to be in the center of the 'Exposure Adjustment' scale.

This ReShade preset was created and refined over the course of weeks - maybe months - can't remember.
At any rate, this preset, unlike the vast majority of others, has been stress tested and is intended for gameplay.
Whereas others are meant for aesthetic.

Other presets I've noticed are either too bright and so the sky is blown out, or too dark and so gameplay just becomes a game of squinting your eyes to see who your swinging at in battle - if anyone.

This preset is not like those others, this one adapts to brightness and does not block your screen with overboard lens flares.

ten fx in this .ini file and how they work together.

The ReShade '.fx' for [V4.0] are arranged in this order:

With all ten of these shaders on, Bannerlord goes from 150 FPS to around 85 FPS.

If I take off RTGI which is the most resource intensive, I hit 120 FPS.
