🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install Reshade first, then drop this preset into the game's main folder and select it in the Reshade in-game menu.
If ME1 textures look too soft, try lowering the sharpening strength in the preset settings to your taste.
Make sure to run the game with DirectX 11 for Reshade to work properly.
