- description

The 3dmigoto tone map reduces the rather heavy darkening and a
'poor mans form of tessellation' gives the assets (characters, environment, etc)
a bit of relief and more definition.

Regarding the 3dmigoto shadertweaks, hud, outlines, etc I think
it would be prudent to say, if you have not played the game yet
to be a bit cautious, check the screenshots, the game leans on
its hud quite a lot so without these pointers the game play could
become a bit confusing.

3dmigoto shader tweaks:
- reduce vignette
- reduce fog various regions
- reduce darkness back avatar when facing light source
- decrease brightness skydome various regions
- reduce dof and radial blur

3dmigoto shader tweaks hud:
- reduce opacity hud (lifebar) and map
- remove outline select-able objects, switches, plants, etc

Note(s):
The  package has a customized shader 'upscale.hlsl' which
does some fullscreen tweaks as sharpening and color modification.
The file user.cfg removes motion blur and tweaks hbao.

update 07/03/2024 v1.2
- tweaked most fog and illumination shaders
- reworked ambient occlusion more present
  alas causes a bit more halo around avatar.
  at lower hemisphere (see screenshots v1.2)
- soften godrays
- reduced yellow'ish skin tone npc's and avatar
- a custom shader upscale.hlsl (3dmigoto) replaces reshade
- added a slight curve with custom shader curve.hlsl

update 22/07/2021 v1.1
- replaced sweetfx (64bit) with reshade 4.3.0 (64bit)
  sweetfx causes crash or error with windows 10 (1903)
- updated 3dmigoto from 1.2.9.0 to 1.3.16.0
- tweaked tone map shader a bit less gpu intensive
- tweaked bump relief shader caused to much noise
- added 3dmigoto shaders:
  reduce vignette
  reduce fog in more regions
  reduce darkness back avatar when facing light
  decrease brightness skydome various regions
  reduce dof and radial blur

Added a mod list with some mods from the nexus that I can recommend
and see screenshot settings shadercache as a possible tip if you
have long loading times (shadercache off, preredender frames 3).

- updating

if the old package (v1.1) was installed remove the following
folder(s) and file(s) in the folder which contains
DragonAgeInquisition.exe

reshade
shadercache
shaderfixes

d3d11.dll
d3dcompiler_46.dll
d3dx.ini
dxgi.dll
dxgi.ini
ReShade.ini

Then copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder
of dragon age inquisition the folder which contains
DragonAgeInquisition.exe

- install

Copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder of dragon age inquisition,
the folder which contains DragonAgeInquisition.exe

- optional install

The following instructions are only needed
if you do not like using unverified dll's you can:

download 3dmigoto from
https://github.com/bo3b/3Dmigoto/releases
download version 1.3.16.0 (64bits)) and place the following dlls in the
install dir of dragon age inquisition:
d3d11.dll
d3dcompiler_46.dll
then copy ShaderCache, ShaderFixes plus d3dx.ini from the zip file to the same dir aka folder.

note: if you choose to use the d3dx.ini contained in the github package
make sure to set (line 248):
hunting=0
the default setting is:
hunting=1
which sets 3dmigoto to a debug mode.

Also add at line 19:
include = ShaderFixes\upscale.ini
include = ShaderFixes\curve.ini

- verify

After running the game the folder ShaderFixes should
gradually (scene and level dependent) contain the .bin versions:

This means that the file(s) .txt have been compiled by 3dmigoto (d3d11.dll)

- tested

Tested with version 1.11 of dragon age inquisition on
win 7 and win 10(1903) / nvidia 1050gtx ti

- performance

gpu usage (game capped at 40.8 frames) no sync
without - clock 1759Mhz gpu usage ~92%
with       - clock 1772Mhz gpu usage ~94%
approximately 2% increase (1050gtx ti on win 7 / win 10(1903))
max gpu: 1784Mhz gpu usage 100%

update 22/07/2021 also tested on windows 10 (1903)

- further tweaking

To disable specific tweaks open the shader from
the folder 'shaderfixes' with a text editor example:
c21d2a418903d8a7-ps_replace.txt

Has a remark on the top line:
// remove outline selectable objects, switches, plants, etc

So if you do not want that to happen
remove the shader from the folder 'shaderfixes'

c21d2a418903d8a7-ps_replace.txt

and if compiled remove:

c21d2a418903d8a7-ps_replace.bin

then restart the game.

All shaders <shadernumber>ps_replace.txt have
a similar descriptive remark (see shader list).
