(9/13/2025 ) If Kenshi is crashing to desktop on startup and you've deduced that its not because of a mod, try downgrading ReShade. ReShade 6.5.1 appears to cause Kenshi to crash. 6.4.1 seems to work fine and I got the mod to work. Hope this helps!

@Cross Thanks for the kind words friend! :)

It's been a while since I've been able to play Kenshi, I do remember there is a FX that really crushes darks in the image, as displayed in the 4th picture in the gallery on this page. I can't remember what the FX is named in ReShade though. :/

Another thing is the mod itself. I Have made edits to the in-game gamma levels of day and night time and also incorporated a mod which edits torch lights too. Disabling the mod will lighten up the night but iirc it makes the daytime look washed out. If you know how to do a little modding you can edit the mod file to make the night time gamma brighter.

I hope this helps! :D

Hi there! Your mod has been a game changer for me, Kenshi has never looked so beautiful. I keep the On the Silver Globe LUT basically on all the time in my game just to make Kenshi that more eerie in a beautiful way.

The only thing is that come night time, it's super dark for me. I basically can't see anything :P I've tried upping my monitor gamma to 2.2 like recommended but sometimes I have to turn the reshade off if something important is happening at night.

@Aaron it works when you have the effects turned off I assume. If so try loading it with some effects turned off to find which one is causing issue.

When loading into the world, tried loading my save game and creating a new game. Had 2 more mods on that I forgot to mention
-Nice Textures Collection (without map and ui)
-Slopeless

@Oldman_Gardo The game settings by default have the home-key set to zoom. You can adjust the keybindings in the game settings.

When i press the HOME button to adjust the settings, the game starts zooming in none stop. Any idea why?

@ludditenerd uninstall is just unsubscribing from this mod on steam and using a different ReShade preset.

This looks amazing. I want to try it but I'm reticent to install a mod that looks like it won't be straightforward to uninstall.

trying this out now, thanks!

Also using SCARaw's performance mods as well as FASTR which I highly recommend.

@oblivion_LT I haven't used Tsuki before. With my ReShade preset though I am usually getting like 70FPS with a RTX 2070 Super, 3.80GHz i7 10700k intel CPU, 16gb of ram and at 2k resolution.

Is it more demanding than Tsuki V.3? I tried that one and had low FPS drops, had to downgrade to V.2. If your mod is something inbetween, I might try it, provided screenshots look amazing.

@Butterscotch Out-of-box it might eat some FPS, though the expensive shaders like MXAO and Radiant GI have toggles ctrl+numpad0 to disable in case they are. :D

This looks like it's going to melt my PC but be worth it.

You've also just made it possible to turn Kenshi into the Matrix with the wire frame option.
