I recently updated the famous cessni's 1.3 to the latest version of ReShade and renamed it cessni's 2.0. While it performs slightly better, is less cartoonish-looking and less washed out, remember it is not meant so much to improve the looks of its predecessor, but to fix some common complains while allowing users to easily tweak a very similar preset created from the ground up on a much newer version of ReShade using its new in-game menu, something that was extremely tedious to do on the previous version of cessni's for an entry level user.

​

Install Instructions

Spoiler: Only for cessni's 1.3 1- Download ReShade Framework 1.1 (~22 MB).

2- Extract the "ReShade" folder, "ReShade.fx" and "ReShade64.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\Bin64".

3- Rename "ReShade64.dll" to "d3d11.dll".

4- Download "cessni's 1.3.zip" below (~24 KB).

5- Extract all 4 files into the "ReShade" folder and replace.

6- Done. Launch the game.





Troubleshooting

Extremely laggy main menu? Disable Hardware Acceleration for User Interface.

Blurry? Disable in-game and ReShade's DOF effect.

Slow? Disable in-game antialiasing.

Still too slow? Disable ReShade antialiasing too.

Menu too bright? Change background color or use a dark theme.

Colours too washed out (or bright) OR colours too dark and colorful? Set your gamma back to 1.0.

Still too washed out (or bright) AND you are using a Nvidia GPU with HDMI cable? Set your dynamic gamma range to "complete" in Nvidia Control Panel

Spoiler: Only for cessni's 1.3 · Too colorful? Open "SweetFX.cfg" and replace 1 for 0 in "USE_VIBRANCE 1".

· Too low fps? Open "SweetFX.cfg" and "McFX.cfg". Replace 1 for 0 in "USE_SMAA 1" and "USE_DEPTHOFFIELD 1", respectively.

· Key not working/Key not suitable for you? Edit "Common.cfg" with the information provided in "ReShade/PersonalFiles/KeyCodes.h".

Additional Information

Use Shift+F2 to open the new ReShade in-game menu.

Use "Scroll Lock" key to toggle the preset.

Use "Print Screen" key to take screenshots. They are stored in the "Bin64" folder.

Must have mods: Realistic Light Beams.

To uninstall just delete the files you extracted from the .zip.



Texture Mods



The other part of the VEP. The following mods were especially designed to improve the inmersion of the game by replacing some of the default textures and decals with entirely new ones, created from scratch using real life images. They work independently from the preset, look wonderful and don't involve any fps hit.

Did You Know...?



Did you know cessni's 1.3 (14/02/2016) has always been and still is...



- The lightest (performance-wise)

- The most downloaded (close to 3,000 downloads in one year)

- The most realistic and game-changer (exquisitely balanced)

- A completely error-free (no annoying error/warning messages)



...ReShade preset to the date for this game? And it's also the first and only one released along with the first pack of custom textures and effects (made from real photos).



Its major flaw is the day/night difference in brightness (mostly due to the lack of HDR in the game for now). Big part of the time was spent on "optimizing" it, from version 1.1, through 1.2, which were similar looking but much worse in performance.





User Reviews



"I stumbled upon this while browsing the forums and decided to give it a try. Given my past experience with "visual upgrades" on games such as GTA 4 and 5, I always found they just added some filters but didn't change much, other than saturation. But this one here! It jumped the barrier and went all out: changed elements such as skid marks (which I find more realistic, even though they are still in development), dust particles, grass, sun light... It's all AMAZING! How could anyone not like this is beyond me. I feel as though they must be doing something wrong, because from what I've seen, this mod has taken BeamNG.drive to a whole new level. It doesn't feel left behind now. It makes me feel as if the graphics had been enhanced to match today's games. So to the author: Thank you. For the work you put in to create this!" -
