NFS 2016 (UNITE) - Reshade Preset v1.0 - Prograde . Ubercinema

Prograde and Ubercinema presets are available for the Need For Speed (2016)

Preset Showcase: https://youtu.be/rym34lc6snk

I strongly recommend to use these presets with the mods: UNITE and NoFilmixFX (No harsh Vignette effect, Chromatic Aberration, Film Grain, rain drops on camera)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Frosty Mod Manager https://frostytoolsuite.com/downloads.html

You will need this to activate mods below.

2. UNITE https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/2335

Download and extract "Latest Version" archive. it will give you download links. Go to the link "All updated files (1.2.4)". You will only need "UNITE 2015 1.2.4.fbmod" file (other files are optional).

3. No Filmix FX https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3063

You will only need "NFS16_NoFilmicFXMOD.fbmod" and "NoCamRainFlares.fbmod" files from the downloaded archive.

Mods must be applied in this order: (see the last screenshot above)

Quick guide (How to install Reshade/preset):

01. Download Reshade: https://reshade.me/ and run downloaded file

02. Select the game in the list (NFS16.exe)

03. Choose the proper rendering API (For this game select DirectX 10/11/12)

04. Select and download all effect (shader) packages

05. Download my Reshade Preset(s) archive(s), extract it and put extracted files (.ini files and the reshade-shaders folder) into the game folder where the .exe file is located (Overwrite if asks)

07. Check ingame Reshade interface. You should see these shaders below as active in this order:

For NFS 2016_Preset Prograde_v1.0:

• LUT@LUT.fx,
• prod80_01B_RT_Correct_Color@PD80_01B_RT_Correct_Color.fx,
• Blooming_HDR@BloomingHDR.fx,
• AmbientLight@AmbientLight.fx,
• FlexibleCA@FlexibleCA.fx,
• Deband@Deband.fx,
• Clarity@Clarity.fx,
• AMD FidelityFX ContrastAdaptiveSharpening@CAS.fx,
• ArtisticVignette@ArtisticVignette.fx

ArtisticVignette is optional here, disable it from Reshade GUI if you don't like darker screen borders at all.

For NFS 2016_Preset Ubercinema_v1.0:

• LUT@LUT.fx,
• AmbientLight@AmbientLight.fx,
• Blooming_HDR@BloomingHDR.fx,
• FlexibleCA@FlexibleCA.fx,
• Deband@Deband.fx,
• GaussianBlurCS@GaussianBlurCS.fx,
• AMD FidelityFX ContrastAdaptiveSharpening@CAS.fx,
• Border@Border.fx

Border is optional here, disable it from Reshade GUI if you don't like black horizontal lines.

I assumed that you are playing the game with enabled TAA(Temporal Anti-Aliasing). If you prefer playing this game with TAA disabled, than you should Turn OFF - AMD FidelityFX CAS shader from Reshade GUI (for both presets)

Note: If the Quick Guide does not answer all your questions, you can watch step-by-step video tutorials on how to install Reshade and set up the in-game overlay, Also how to install RTGI shader and configure Depth Buffer properly here:

Reshade Installation and Setup Guide

. . .

Important: Preset was tweaked and tested in Non-HDR game/monitor mode. It may not look decent in HDR mode. So make sure the HDR mode is deactivated in your in-game Display/Graphics settings. Also disable HDR for your Monitor, or set HDR level to low and try to tweak preset using extra shaders like: LevelsPlus, PD80_03_Levels or curves by yourself.

I plan to release HDR presets separately in the future if the project runs well with your support.

Note: Some shaders may give a very subtle effect in some areas. However, they have a significant impact on other environments. So don't turn off any shaders if you want the preset to work as it should. I'll always let you know if there are optional shaders in my presets. So you can turn them off.

The same image looks different on different screens. You might need some tweaking for your monitor's brightness/gamma/contrast if Reshade differs from the showcase.
