To make Zombie Army 4 more "Next-Gen" while bringing it closer to the spirit of the old episodes. All in One Drag and drop the content in bin folder. If you use vulkan activate it for ZA4DW with the lastest version
1.0 to 2.0 Improving the antialiasing of ReShade
2.0 to 2.2 Correction of bloom for Vampire Scope
2.2 to 2.3 Improved saturation to regain the spirit of old episodes
2.3 to 3.0 Final Version with 2 Presets Performance Or Quality
Adding:
Ambient Lighting ( improvement of Bloom and Global Ligthing / Not in Performance Preset )
AntiAliasing TAA + Surface Blur ( for best looking Quality of AA )
improvement of Lens effect ( personal suggestion, if you dont want this uncheck the option in Ambiantlight or DirtLens in PPFXBloom for Performance Preset )
Bloom ( to keep the spirit of the old episodes as much as possible)
Tonemapping ( to rebalance everything )
With ReShadElite:

Without ReShadElite:

Some Tweaks:
For the best possible result adjust the brightness of the game well in its options before using the ReShade
Motion Blur Off (No need this)
Ambiante Occlusion Off (No need this)
Reflection on Medium (No need for more)
View Distance on Medium (No need for more)
Textures on Ultra only if you have more than 4Go Vram
Shadows on High (No need for more)
Obscuration on Off (No need this)
ACSync on On (If you have a recent graphics card)
Tesselation on Off (ON If you have a recent graphics card to enhance the fact of having the distance / details on medium but it is not necessary)
For better performance and a similar result you can also replace the antialiasing of the game with FXAA (nvidia) or Edge AA (amd) through the control pannel of your graphic card.
By setting everything as if above in addition to the NIS (Nvidia Image Scale) as indicate at the bottom, I personally gained approximately 60% of perf, 108fps on average on high with the ReShade to 164, enough to play perfectly in 144Hz
Boost FPS:
For AMD user use the resolution scale ingame and set it to 85% and check AMD FidelityFX
For Nvidia use NIS (Nvidia Image Scale) and set it to 85% and the sharpening at 50% with your graphic card pannel or GeforceExperience (to make it work you will have to play in full screen by choosing the resolution associated with the NIS)
