I can't get this to work, when I try to select the aperture.ini preset, the menu doesn't let me. What's happening?
edit: I got it to show up but no effect options or anything appears in the box.
go into the reshade menu select settings then you'll see it.
This mod is masterpiece! Very awesome shader. I recommend to use with MMOD.
I'll totally use it!
Does this improve the quite bad shadows in half-life 2?
no
What is the "Home button"?
It's a button on your keyboard that says "Home".
