This tweak enhances the visibility and intensity of SSAO, RTAO, and HBAO, giving the game a Witcher 2 vibe. The RTAO is also darker. The config file has been increased for stronger SSAO and HBAO power, and can be tweaked in real-time via dll or by restarting the game. The AO should look more visible and pronounced and affects the RTX AO as well. There is also an optional file for a darker environment via HBAO, with some control over the AO power via the ini file.
