Tip

It is highly recommended for NVIDIA graphics card users to not use the in-game AA, but setup NVIDIA's AA using the guide below in Useful Links. This does not work for AMD card users.

Reshade

Note that the game uses an upside-down depth buffer. You will need to go to the global processor definitions and change RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN from 0 to 1. This is essential and otherwise depth shaders will not work properly.

Info

Your game may need to have the depth buffer picked manually for depth shaders to work properly, this is done in the D3D11 (ReShade 4.0 and below) / Add-ons (ReShade 5+) tab. This has to be done everytime the resolution is changed.
