I'm getting a script compilation error that looks like this: "Property 'shadowConfig' exists but was not imported from C++ code" Install Community Patch - Shared Imports. The game crashes on startup Disable all external overlays like Steam, GeForce Experience and RTSS.
The game crashes on Windows 11 Disable auto HDR.
ReShade does not work with BlitzFX / How to run BlitzFX with DXVK There are two possible solutions that you can try:
Do NOT install Shared Imports even though the nexus description states that you should. This is because EE already has Shared Imports integrated in its catalogue of mods so attempting to install shared imports will very likely result in errors like these
Error [modW3EE]local\w3ee - imports.ws(488): Structure 'SFurShadow' was already exported.
For the NVIDIA owners having startup crash with drivers above 552.44, Ansel seems to be the problem.
To disable Ansel for The Witcher 3, download the lastest nvidiaProfileInspector -> https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases and extract it.
Open nvidiaProfileInspector, search and select "The Witcher 3" profile, scroll down to "5 - Common" section and set "Ansel - Enabled" to Off Apply changes (top right corner) and close.
Tested and working with GTX 1070 on driver 561.09.
If you guys want to use reshade with this mod, do not use the old dsound.dll from Debug Console Enabler v1.31 The old 2015 dsound.dll was compatible with the 1.0 version of BlitzFX but not with 1.1 Download the latest dsound.dll from Ultimate ASI Loader github page, move d3d11.dll to bin/x64/plugins and rename it to blitz-fx.asi
Edit 1 : Bruh the game started crashing, sometimes it does work with reshade with this mod sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea what's going on it's inconsistant as heck. [ 6400] | WARN | Cannot capture input for window 0000000000A0065C created by a different process. [ 6400] | WARN | Reference count for ID3D11Device0 object 0000023E9BC53B38 (0000023E9BBDB2E8) is inconsistent (1). These are the warning that showed up in the reshade log for me when the game crashed on startup.
Edit 2 : Roll back to reshade 5.8 and it's working fine now

If you plan to use the HDR Bloom effect of this mod, it is recommended to turn bloom and light shafts off in the post processing settings
Maybe I'm just daft, but after doing this, I don't notice any bloom or light shafts from BlitzFX. Do the settings need to be adjusted a certain way in order for them to appear in full, or is it just a lot more subtle than vanilla?
All I did was tweak saturation, and disabled vignette and motion blur, but if I'm going to leave the rest at their defaults, should I just leave the vanilla bloom/light shafts active? Because I think the game looks better than with them off...
I'm using Immersive Lighting, by the way, which its color palette could be having a slight effect here, I suppose.
Edit: Piggybacking off my comment just to say how phenomenal this mod is. Using it with Immersive Lighting, plus Magical Graphics Settings (and HDRP of course), truly does make the game look better than the Next-Gen version. At times, when the lighting is just right, it actually looks photorealistic!
This mod makes the Next-Gen version of the game look like trash, compared to 1.31/1.32 version. All those extra graphics options that the Next-gen version has just makes the game look uglier or extremely heavy on performance. BlitzFX is a blessing to The Witcher 3.
100% correct. CDPR's next-gen update was peak incompetence. Tbh they've been a trash company since B&W's final update when all the based devs left. All marketing hype, zero substance, and loads of anti-consumer behavior.
The other thing that is so crazy about next-gen is that most of the "good" additions were either "purchased" or just stolen from modders. If you go through the patch notes, they credit 5 modders, but they incorporated many, many other mods here on nexus into the game without any financial compensation or community recognition. Just a scummy move imo - at least credit them.
Apart from that, most of the non-community additions/improvements actively make the game worse.
1. RT takes 40-70% of your fps (depending on your card) and aside from the GI, doesn't even look good. RT shadows are buggy and unrealistic. 2. They credit themselves for fixing hair/armor clipping, but it remains a problem. 3. They killed grass collision 4. They claim to have improved the water, but they didn't even update the shader. This mod looks so much better. How did one modder beat them? 5. DLSS/FSR look horrible. So blurry. 6. The new camera angles are worse. The horse one is ok I suppose, but I don't know how you fight effectively with the close combat option. 7. The whole "MY REWARDS" fiasco with the chest in wyzima was just a ploy to get people to use their launcher for data collection. 8. The new Dandelion appearance is well...I hope you never enabled it by accident. 9. The ballsack armor is the stuff of nightmares. 10. DX12 in general costs performance when compared to D11 same settings due to the cheap api wrapper. LAZY.
Literally the only great addition I give them 100% credit for is the quick-casting, which thankfully has been ported back to classic. I would miss this feature greatly. The new foliage is pretty nice too. I fully realize I'm just ranting at this point, but it still pisses me off. This could've been a great update and I would've happily paid money for it. But no, we got slop from them and we'll never see a 4.05. They've moved on. Just unfortunate all-around.
share with us blitz settings reshade and shaders.fx all that stuff?cuz nowadays i see a lot of random reshaded videos but how can i put it... and if it's a preset with a crazy picture the author wants to subscribe to patreon/kofi/etc or all at once without a specific link to the preset.
You are absolutely right SteelerTy97. Although, I have found that playing the Next-Gen version of the game in HDR makes it look a lot better - more balanced, more natural.

There are two possible solutions that you can try:

- Move d3d11.dll to bin/x64/plugins
- Rename d3d11.dll to blitz-fx.dll
