Thanks to Christian Jensen (CeeJay.dk) and Crosire for reshade and sweetfx.
I hope you find these programs and adjustments helpful at making your game more enjoyable.
ooh eye candy. :)
If you use it with the tweak tool, it will get rid of that horrible haze by disabling the bloom. Really sharpens it up and makes it look nice.
