Watched til the end. Great vid. This looks like a nice improvement. Im not sure if i will make the effort though as i find rf2 already very fidily to use.

[@patleathers2767]

top stuff geeza :) just started getting into reshading myself , so its interesting to see what other people use as their filters .

[@matiaz0]

Dear Austin, that looks amazing, but i wonder if this reshade is working with the game or is something you do with the replays... its estunint!!

[@abluelark]

This is all in game! No filters is post production or replay.

[@newhonk]

This guy sounds so nice

[@abluelark]

Thank you so much, stranger! That made my day

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

Awesome !

[@haxorcomputerservices]

Thanks for the great video. Do you perhaps have a video for sunny and other weather conditions?

[@abluelark]

I'm putting that video together right now. Just added it to my AI for a 5k upscale. Should be done in the morning. Spent an hour or two on the reshade file.

Nice video thanks.

Hey Austin, what's the Steam theme you're using? :O

[@abluelark]

I believe it's Metro for Steam?

[@robinlukas4025]

@@abluelark Yup it is. I've been using it in my Windows 8 days, that's why it seems so familiar and nice to me, thanks!

[@КонстантинБерезанский]

Hello. i install your reshade. I installed everything as indicated in your instructions, but to my regret nothing worked for me and nothing changed. In the game console it says that there is some kind of error. I checked all the boxes for installation and installed all files installed. help me please? becouse your work is amaizing/

[@rynosraceroom66]

Thx for the info

[@micahceniza7471]

How are you running this at Ultra preset smoothly? I have a 6600XT (RTX 3060 equivalent) and I get 40fps on ultra

[@abluelark]

I was using a 1070ti on this video with an AMD 2600x CPU. I've since upgraded. Try turning off the mirrors.

[@makannet]

Thanks for the guide and very nice explanation. But when I install reshade and load your preset, I just get vibrance,vignette and Adof. It doesn't load other shaders like clarity,adaptivesharpen and others in the video. Am I doing something wrong? My reshade version is 5.02 and installed all of it's components.

[@abluelark]

I'll check if my reshade file works with the latest version of Reshade. I know this was made using 4.9

[@abluelark]

You were right! You will need to download ReShade version 4.9.1. (Check the description for an official link) This preset looks terrible with ReShade Version 5.0+.

[@makannet]

@@abluelark Thanks for the reply. I test it and it works😍

[@jahshjahsh2002]

One of the sims where if you try it with the older content with the og setting you won't serve it justice, or you can look at it from a different perspective, one of the sims where they don't respect and update what you buy and try to sell you newer better content.

100 subscribers! 🙈 thanks so much!! Here's a clear skies/sunny version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnqxp55oq9GhhsU

[@galaxian_hitchhiker]

Funfact; it is always easier to obtain realistic visuals in rainy weathers but 1% of the races are happen in rain.

[@abluelark]

True

[@sasquatch8923]

Very cool. Will it work with VR? Liked

[@abluelark]

ReShade is currently in Alpha for VR; and not really usable.

@@abluelark Ok. I will keep watching for updates. Thank you for the response.

Turn off the Vignette.fx in ReShade. 👍

does this still work in 2024? ...i just get a black screen with audio

[@abluelark]

Are you having an issue with ReShade or my ReShade settings?

[@vindowmaker5819]

@@abluelark game cant start with reshade installed

[@abluelark]

@@vindowmaker5819 Then you've got a ReShade install issue. ReShade works just fine. Make sure that you are installing all the shaders/textures when selecting the rF2 exe.

[@NEVESBOY]

i dont have any optoons showing up in the first tab

[@Dj1Kreationz]

Maybe you can help me out...just got rfactor 2 and for some odd reason the graphics look horrible 🤦... currently rocking a gtx 1660 ti...all other game titles like ac, acc, automobilista 2 all looks good but rfactor2 just looks super outdated

[@abluelark]

If you just got the game, do you own any DLC? The majority of the cars and tracks in the base game look awful. Check out some of the DLC, and look for the popular tracks on the steam workshop too.

[@Simlife101]

@charzrd beast never heard rocking and 1660ti in the same sentence lol. You will struggle on that card to run good mods

[@BASHERSKINZ]

does this work with triple screen?

[@abluelark]

I don't own triples, but yes it should work.

[@AJ_racing25]

its a great vid but how do you turn it off because my gpu is quite old so my fps dropped down by a lot so i disabled all of them but my fps is still low its at 60 to 100 and that is low settings when i would normally get 200fps it looks like the one that is still on is the one that makes your rev lights and stuff like that brighter but they arent turned on and ive even deleted the files but it still works when i press the home button can someone get to me quickly thanks

[@abluelark]

Run the ReShade installer again, and then from there you can choose to remove ReShade from that game.

[@AJ_racing25]

@@abluelark i did that and it said some failed to delete so i guess im just ganna have to live with it anyway thanks for helping

[@abluelark]

@@AJ_racing25 in that case just find and delete: reshade-shaders folder, dxgi.dll and dxgi.log.

[@DM-fp8uw]

Does reshade work in VR?

[@abluelark]

Ehhhhh technically yes, but it's awful.

[@goggo1peter844]

on my RF2 installation it will not start RF2 ,when i I install resade . Anyone knows why ?

[@abluelark]

Try reinstalling reshade. Make sure are using the correct rFactor2 exe file. Also, Reshade doesn't work in VR. That could be another possibility.

[@goggo1peter844]

@@abluelark I done it all but with resade my RF2 will not work . create a new player.json ,selected dx9 for test, etc ,switch off MSI Afterburner . ??? I gave up now

[@alvaroggarcia]

hi!,...something similar for virtual reality? thanks!!

[@abluelark]

Great idea! Unfortunately, ReShade is in early alpha for VR.

[@enzocarbone]

Does it works with eshade 5.0.2?

[@abluelark]

Not yet! I actually just finished a version for 5.0.2. check the race department link in a few hours, and you'll see it update.
