3) Folders descriptions:

After the downloading of the mod you'll find 6 folders, read to know what they are
meant for:

folders from this folder,
you can play the games but without Reshade effects: RTGI GlobalIllumination, MXAO,
FXAA and FilmicAnamorphSharpen,LightDoF_Far
and EFLCIVProject2DFX.

-EFLCIVProject2DFX: This is optional, there is a ReadCarefully.txt Read it,

Strongly recommended!!!

-FixFor1.0.7.0AndOlderPatches: Inside this folder there is a ReAD.txt, read it to

know what is about!?

-ForCompleteEdition: This is for CompleteEdition, read above No 1)!

-Lens: This is optional, the file will put lens circles mostly around the sun and
the illuminated lights.
-Reshade: This is optional, this folder contain Reshade files, all effects in there
are ready for use, if you want to disable/enable some effect pres "HOME"
button then tick the effect, by default RTGlobalIllumination, MXAO, LightDoF_Far,
FXAA, FilmicAnamorphSharpen are enabled, Strongly recommended!!!

THIS RTGI GlobalIllumination IS OUTDATED THAT'S WHY IT'S FREE! HIGH END PC IS

4) Reshade INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Copy the files and the folders (ReShade.dll; ReShade.ini, tru.ini; reshade-shaders-
master; enbseries.ini; pc; TBoGT and TLAD folders) and put them
in the main folders of the games!

ReShade version 05.10.2020. THE LAST VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH RTGI

GlobalIllumination!!!

RTGlobalIllumination, MXAO, LightDoF_Far, FXAA, FilmicAnamorphSharpen are on by

default!

Open ReShade.ini with notepad or some other text editor and find these lines:

CurrentPresetPath=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\tru.ini

EffectSearchPaths=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\reshade-shaders-

master\Shaders

TextureSearchPaths=hard drive\game folder path\game .exe path\reshade-shaders-

master\Textures

ScreenshotPath=hard drive\your screens path -This's for the Screenshots by

pressing - (negative button) from num numbers of the keyboard!

You must find your game .exe path or where on your PC "enbseries.ini"; "reshade-
shaders-master"; "ReShade.dll"; "ReShade.ini" and "tru.ini" files and folder are
located!!!

For example, my gtaIV is located on D partition of my hard drive in "gta4" folder

so the lines in ReShade.ini must be like that:

PresetFiles=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\tru.ini

EffectSearchPaths=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\reshade-shaders-master\Shaders

TextureSearchPaths=D:\gta4\Grand Theft Auto IV\reshade-shaders-master\Textures

Also open ReShade.ini in EFLC(episodes from liberty city) and find and write the
paths too,
if it's not dowgraded Complete Edition, this means if IV and EFLC are in separate
folders!!!

DON'T USE THESE LINES, ON YOUR PC THE PATHS ARE DIFFERENT!!!

IF YOU DON'T DO THAT ReShade WILL NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***********************************************************************************
***********************************************************************************
*****************
IF you have MXAO BUG!

You done everything and if your game looks like the "MXAO_BUG_EXAMPLE.png" this
means that you have ambient
occlusion bug to fix it open ReShade.ini again and find these line:

PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000.0,RESHADE_DEPTH_
INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOG
ARITHMIC=0

and make RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0 to RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=1

change 0 to 1!!!

if your games are normal then don't touch these line!!!!!

***********************************************************************************
***********************************************************************************
****************************

5) NOTES:

- In graphics settings Texture quality must be High and anisotropic filtering must
be 16 (I recommend you everything to be maxed out, especially the textures,
reflection quality
and Shadows) otherwise the clouds and the stars will not look so good, also turn
off Definition if you want motion blur!!!

- If you want the games(IV, EFLC) to looks like the current Gen you need to maxed
out the graphics settings!!!

- For the best experience I recommend you to use any 2k or 4k DSR resolution with
33% of smoothness, this is
the best anti-aliasing for these games!!!!

- With the original stipple.wtd file the textures and everything is much better,
more detailed, especially the vegetation
and less z-fighting on everything!!!

- Use the original vegetation texture or you can use the Bison sales vegetation
(Google it) but you must adjust Trees quality in enbseries.ini!

- If you have some graphics gliches, bugs, missing minimap, phone, ...etc then
disable all kind of Anti Aliasing from
the control panel of your video card!!!

- DON'T mix this mod with other visuality or ENB mods, you must to put and replace
ALL FILES!!!
***********************************************************************************
****************************************************************

6) Infinity Loading Fix:

- If the loading time of the games to you is too long or infinity then open the
control panel of your video card, make a
profiles of the games IV and EFLC and turn on the Fast Vsync and in the game
graphics settings turn on the Vsync!

In this way you'll have even better performance!
