Description

For fans of the visuals of Doom 2016, I have collected a number of mods and settings to make the Eternal look a little "better" in this sense. The downside of the manipulations described below is less visual readability, but the author considers this insignificant since the scene is a PC.

What I would like to draw attention to: this set of visual modifications will not turn the Eternal into the 2016 version, but will make it less "toyish" and will help the built-in rendering settings in the "cinematic" mode.

So, now the eyes of enemies glow like demons; the "rainbow" from the dropped cartridges has been removed and makes it monotonous like in the 2016 version; reduces the increased brightness of enemy models; removes the backlight of the models of picked up resources and a few other little things.

Among other things, the author suggests DLAA integration instead of TAA by default - it makes the picture as a whole much less blurry, which is especially noticeable on particles, which are simply destroyed by local anti-aliasing and objects in motion.

Install

Installing the modifications themselves:
1. Download the archive and unzip it to the game root (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19eZR8JMHuRv__k3H0gdwf8luNsqFDwKk?usp=sharing);
2. Run DLSSTweaksConfig.exe and set the DLAA parameter to True;
(for AMD owners, I recommend ignoring this step and deleting nvngx.dll from the game folder);
2.1. In the game settings, enable DLSS at any quality level;
3. Run EternalModInjector.bat and wait for the modifications to install.
4. After these manipulations, run the game as usual.

The settings that the author considers closest to the 2016 visual:
1. Visualization (render) mode: Cinematic;
2. Sharpening: 10 points;
3. Grain: 25 points;
4. Chromatic aberration - ON (recommend to turn off without DLAA);
5. Interface - UAC.
