PUBG: Install and set ReShade - how it works
If you install ReShade, you can use it to improve the graphics in PUBG. This practical tip shows you how to install and set the open source shader.
PUBG: Install ReShade - Here's how
- Download ReShade for free from the provider's website.
- The correct path is important when installing the program. Enter "\ steam \ steamapps \ common \ pubg \ TslGame \ Binaries \ Win64 \ TslGame.exe" as the installation path.
- After the installation click on "Direct 3D 10+" or "OpenGL", depending on the rendering API. If you are not sure, try "Direct 3D 10+" first. In the event of a crash, you must uninstall ReShade, then reinstall the program and then select "OpenGL".
- If you are asked whether you would like to download effects, confirm with "Yes". Now you can select the effects you want to have while playing. For example, if you decide on the three effects "AdaptiveSharpen.fx", "HDR.fx" and "Technicolor2.fx", fix the somewhat washed-out graphics from PUBG: The picture becomes brighter and sharper.
PUBG: Set ReShade - how it works
ReShade does not start automatically. After starting the game you must also open the program manually with the key combination [SHIFT] + [F2]. You can change this key combination under "Settings". You can also set a shortcut that you can use to turn all effects on or off.
- Click on the plus sign in the top right to create a new profile. Here you enter a name first.
- Use shortcut keys to quickly access the effects. To do this, click in the field behind "Toggle Key" and then on the key you want to assign to it.
- If you mark one of the effects, you can make further settings below it. At "HDR.fx" click in the field next to "Power" and enter the number 1, 020 and at "Technicolor2.fx" write next to "Strength" the number 0.600.
- Under "Usage Mode" you should now select "Performance Mode" when you have made all changes. If you want to change something later, switch back to "Configuration Mode".
- Now close the ReShade window by clicking on "Reload". Now you can play PUBG with the new effects.
