Graphical Tweaks (Nvidia Only)

Nvidia users can improve the graphics of the game further with some tweaks in the Nvidia Control Panel, or Nvidia Profile Inspector.

⚫ Open Nvidia Control Panel, and select Manage 3D settings. Then program settings, and add the Witcher exe.

⚫ Set Anisotropic Filtering to 16x.

⚫ Set Multi-Framed AA (MFAA) to ON.

⚫ Set Power Management mode to Prefer Maximum Performance.

⚫ Set Texture Filtering - LOD Bias to Clamp.

⚫ Set Texture Filtering - Quality to High Quality.

⚫ Set Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization to OFF.

⚫ Adding HBAO+

⚫ Download Nvidia Profile Inspector.[github.com]

⚫ Open it, and search in the "Profiles" section, "The Witcher Enhanced Edition".

⚫ Set Ambient Occlusion Compatibilty to 0x0000002D (MechWarrior Online).

⚫ Set Ambient Occlusion usage to Enabled.

⚫ Set Ambient Occlusion setting to High Quality.

⚫ Now apply the changes.

Be aware, the AO will flicker at times, and your perfomance may also decrease. Just saying.

This is how your settings need to look both in Nvidia Control Panel and Nvidia Profile Inspector.

Installation

Nearly all the mods used for the Witcher need to be extracted in SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data\Override.

If you do not have an Override folder, create one and just move X mod there.
Other mods are installed in the Data folder directly. Always read the mod pages for more info.
As for Reshade, download the folder, extract it into your The Witcher Enhanced Edition\System folder, and you should be good to go.
Press "Home" on your keyboard to enable/ disable the effects. And the left arrow (<-) to enable or disable the preset as a whole. You can change the keybindings if you want via the Reshade menu.

Screenshots

I would like to showcase a few of the great shots i got with these mods and my Reshade installed.

Credits

Again, all the credit for EACH and EVERY mod goes to the authors. I do not take any credit for any of them.
Please do show them some love and endorse their mods at least, because the modders do this out of passion, and love for games, so they do deserve some respect.

Closing Words

This would be all. By default, all these mods are compatible to work with eachother. As long as you do not break anything and install everything as it should be installed. Please let me know in the comments if you have any problems, but bear in mind, that you will get better help from the authors of the mods themselves. If i do stumble upon another mod that i like, i will add it to the guide.
If you are one of the modders who's mod i have showcased in this guide, and you want it removed for whatever reason you may have, just let me know. I don't want to give the impression that i wanted to steal one's hard work.
Hope you found this guide helpful, and have fun.

Changelogs

Here I will write any update or new mod that I added to the guide, so you will know if you are missing anything.
