Hey guys, I’m playing Dying Light 1 on PC and I installed the “Improved Visuals” mod + ReShade. ReShade says it installed successfully, but I can’t open the tutorial/menu because it says to press the “Home” key and I don’t know where it is on my laptop keyboard.

I’m on an Acer laptop. I tried Fn + arrow keys and a few other combinations but nothing works. How can I open the ReShade menu or change the keybind?

Also, how can I be 100% sure the mod is actually working?

Spent two days and one restless night working on this preset, I love the way it turned out.

I posted this in r/ForzaHorizon but it got taken down (dunno why) so im posting it here, does anyone have advice to make the game look even better?

• Adds support for color fringing, sharp light streaks, tinting, etc. The UI is pretty self-explanatory.
• Optionally just enable the streaks or the bloom, or both.
• Option to control the stretch factor.
• This update requires that you revise your presets.

I love the way it looks with reshade, custom preset made by me

18 algorithms in one shader. Works for pixel art, anime, retro 3D, and modern rendered games. Single preset — switch the algorithm at runtime and see the difference instantly.

What's inside

For pixel art and sprites

• EPX — Scale2x, pure blocky detail with no blur. SNES / Genesis / Mega Drive sprites.
• Scale3x — 3x variant of EPX, finer detail pattern.
• CrispSal / SmoothSal — two xBR modes (hard edges / soft blending).
• xBRZ — edge-directed, sharp diagonals without ringing. SNES / PSX / 2D games.
• ScaleFX — Hyllian-style sub-pixel reconstruction.
• Anime4K / Anime4K+ — line darken + thin enhance. Anime, cel-shaded, cartoons.

Universal (2D and 3D)

• CAS-only — AMD Contrast Adaptive Sharpen, no scaling.
• Catmull-Rom — 4-tap cubic, cheaper than Mitchell, slightly sharper.
• Mitchell — Mitchell-Netravali B=C=1/3, clean, low ringing.
• Sal — xBR-style, balanced edge smoothing.
• Lanczos3 — 6-tap sinc-windowed, the classical sharpener.
• Jinc — EWA Lanczos, circular kernel, no axis bias.
• DCCI — Directional Cubic Convolution, NEDI-family, clean diagonals.

For 3D games

• NIS — Nvidia Image Scaling, directional 6-tap.
• FSR — AMD FSR 1.0 EASU.
• FSR Sharper — EASU + RCAS sharpening pass.

Features

• Auto-Detect Source Resolution — the shader probes pixel-to-pixel transitions on horizontal and vertical scanlines through the screen center to infer the content's native block size. Works well for DOSBox, ScummVM, emulators, GOG re-releases.
• Manual resolution selection — presets from 320×240 to 1920×1080 + custom.
• Temporal 3D (optional) — TAAU-lite with YCoCg AABB clipping and depth-disocclusion rejection. Gated by a separate flag. !Do not enable in 2D games! (see warning below).
• Built-in Motion Vectors (optional) — internal 3-step SAD block-match at 1/4 resolution. Works without iMMERSE Launchpad. ~0.3-0.8 ms at 1080p.
• Light Build — PILZ_BUILD_LIGHT=1 strips Lanczos3 / Jinc / ScaleFX / DCCI / Anime4K+ to shrink compile time and binary size.
• Pixel-Art Bypass — pixel-art algorithms automatically skip the temporal pass so sprite/UI output stays deterministic.

Optional compile flags

Flag	Effect
PILZ_BUILD_LIGHT=1	Light build, faster compile
PILZ_TEMPORAL_3D=1	Temporal reprojection pass, 3D games only
PILZ_BUILTIN_MOTION_VECTORS=1	Built-in motion vectors, no Launchpad needed

⚠ Do not enable PILZ_TEMPORAL_3D in 2D games (Fallout 1/2, Diablo 2, Baldur's Gate, RPG Maker titles, emulators, classic adventure games) — they don't expose a usable depth buffer. The temporal pass will read garbage, freeze the shader, and crash ReShade back to defaults on next reload.

Which algorithm for what

Content	Recommendation
SNES / Genesis sprites	EPX, Scale3x
PSX / 2D RPGs	xBRZ, ScaleFX
Text / UI / retro	CrispSal
Anime / cartoons	Anime4K, Anime4K+, SmoothSal
Photos / video	Lanczos3, Jinc
Modern 3D	FSR Sharper, NIS
Retro 3D (PS1 / N64)	Sal, DCCI, Mitchell
Sharpen only (no scaling)	CAS-only

• LSAO got another 25-30% perf. boost. Combined w. previous update its near 50% faster than before.
• Way better shadowing. Just look at the shots.
• Improved thickness heuristics, and reduced halos.

I notice this happening with a few games. But every time I try to use rtgi or anything it bugs out and causes this "noise"
