About this mod
I don't normally put up simple reshade presets, but this one came out quite nice (imo)... and I may at some point customize the shader code to increase performance (not that performance should be a problem with this preset).

Yet Another Reshade (YAR)
I don't normally put up mods that simply reshade presets, but this one came out quite nice (imo)... and I may at some point come back to this with customized shader code to increase performance (not that performance should be a problem with this preset). If I get even one stutter I think is caused by running these shaders, I'll do that.
The file in the download section is just the preset ini file. See instructions below for installation.
These shaders don't have any negative effects on the UI, so I don't need to do anything special to detect / exclude the UI screens.
None of these shaders require depth buffer access.
With all effects loaded, here's the total performance impact:
CPU Time: 0.106 ms (5700x3d)
GPU Time: 0.746 ms (4070ti super)
Effects used (in load order):
1) prod80_02_Bonus_LUT_pack (by prod80): cheap
2) AmbientLight (by Ganossa): does 28 passes, so it's not cheap, but this is the main shader all this is built around
3) prod80_04_ColorGradient (by prod80): fairly cheap
4) prod80_01B_RT_Correct_Color (by prod80): fairly cheap
5) FilmGrain (by CeeJay.dk): optional, but give it a chance -- it's not actually a very good filmgrain shader, but it has an interesting side effect where if you tune it just so, it can make mist/dust/etc look kinda like it's moving in the distance. And it's very cheap.
Offsite requirements:
ReShade 6.4.1 (other versions may work fine, but this is the one I used while making this).
Installation Instructions:
1) Download and run ReShade_Setup_6.4.1 (for X4 Foundations choose Vulkan).
2) During installation, be sure to include the following shaders (in order appearing in Reshade's install list):
SweetFX by CeeJay.dk:
+ FilmGrain.fx
Legacy Effects:
+ AmbientLight.fx
Color effects by prod80:
+ PD8001B_RT_Correct_Color.fx
+ PD8002_Bonus_LUT_pack.fx
+ PD8004_Color_Gradients.fx
3) Start up x4 once just to make sure reshade loads (main menu screen is fine)
4) Skip the reshade tutorial
5) hit the Home key
6) change the Home key to something else if you're using the Home key ingame
7) set a key to disable effects
8) exit game
9) plop my preset ini file into your main X4 Foundations folder, overwriting the default one created
