Just a quick bump - this still works years later! Unfortunately I can't relocate this topic to the downloads folder (I made it before that existed!) I've reuploaded the preset file and updated the instructions in the OP as they were a bit confusing too. Hope you still enjoy this!

Here's mine! Superprism, rad/rad blaster inspired by 50s nuclear science posters The Crimson Ball, psy controller mastermind assassin Fire of Hephaestus, Fire defender that's supposed to be a Greek statue come to life Black Anaconda, MA Brute mix between Prince and Black Dynamite Mackerel, claw/bio Scrapper fish mutant And Mataaho, fire/fire Blaster volcano god

really sorry about this! i'm not sure how to get it working unfortunately, might be worth going over and asking the Reshade devs? installation instructions have worked for other people, you're the first one who's had an issue! hope you can find a fix for it

as requested: more screenshots of darker and villain areas. it's definitely darker than vanilla, but i think it adds enough atmosphere and enhanced lighting to be worth it. No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade

i've just got it to open on cityofheroes.exe, having it on both might be the issue?

it'll depend on your computer really - i get performance slowdown from upping the original settings than i do from Reshade. give it a go and see if it has any impact on your FPS

no difference in settings at all between shots! i'm running on max settings fyi. you're right about darkness - i'll try to get some shots of that. it's a hard balance between getting nice shadows and shading and preserving visibility in the dark, and unfortunately it can't really be tweaked between all the different environments, but i think i managed to get a good balance and compromise. feel free to try it yourself, take screens of your own and lemme know any critiques - feel free to edit the preset as well if you've found a better config! all in the name of making CoH look its best :)

Ever wanted to City of Heroes to look better and the revamped graphics still not cutting it for you? I've put together a Reshade preset that adds in MXAO, bloom, vibrance, ambient lighting, godrays + more! It adds so much more body and lighting to CoH that's sadly missing from the base game. Ouroboros is a particular standout: the original lighting is flat and lifeless, but bloom and ambient lighting through Reshade adds a whole new dimension to the zone. The screenshots do more justice than I can post, so the comparison is below: No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade Download the preset here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/537wc380p54ho9i/CoHReshade.ini/file To install, download and install Reshade (https://reshade.me/) to the CoH directory with OpenGL as the game engine. You need to install Reshade to the cityofheroes.exe in the live folder (example path: C:\Games\Homecoming\bin\win64\live). Enable all textures and shaders, and select CoHReshade.ini as the preset and you're done! A final heads up; there may be some performance hit, depending on your computer. Hope you try this out, and enjoy! 🙂
