Low Contrast and Framerate Limiter Reshade preset
Mitigates high contrast when using enlighten = 0
Framerate limiter for people with HZ above 60
I use
enlighten = 0
in falloutprefs.ini
This is equivalent to: Disabling character lights and Fixing a lighting bug
It unfortunately also makes shadows really dark, and everything else really bright.
Sick of being unable to see, I made this low contrast Reshade preset. This might be ugly to most, but…
Reshade also has a framerate limiter that I didn’t know about. So people with high fps can set this in falloutprefs.ini:
iPresentInterval=0
and still cap FPS to whatever hz their monitor is:
