Installation Overview:

1. Install ReShade

- Run 'ReShade_Setup_6.4.1_Addon.exe'.

- Select the game executable (e.g., "WalkingDead.exe").

- Choose DirectX 10/11/12 as the rendering API.

- Select and install the standard effects package.

2. Install RTGI Shaders and Textures

- Open the 'RTGI' folder provided in this package.

- Inside the 'RTGI' folder, locate the 'Shaders' and 'Textures' folders.

- Copy the contents of the 'Shaders' folder into your ReShade installation's 'Shaders' folder (usually located in your game directory under 'reshade-shaders\Shaders').

- Copy the contents of the 'Textures' folder into your ReShade installation's 'Textures' folder (usually located under 'reshade-shaders\Textures').

- If prompted, confirm to overwrite existing files.

3. Apply the Remaster Preset

- Copy the 'Remaster-Preset.ini' file from this package into your game directory (where the game executable is located).

- Launch the game.

- Open the ReShade overlay by pressing the 'Home' key (or whatever key you assigned).

- In the overlay, click the preset dropdown menu and select 'Remaster-Preset.ini'.

4. Optional Adjustments

- Open the ReShade overlay settings and adjust the RTGI-specific parameters (such as ray length, sample count, etc.) if you want to customize the visual output.

- Save your changes within the preset file.

- I also recommend you turn this setting on "prod80_03_FilmicTonemap [P80_03_Filmic_Adaptation.fx]" in the ReShade Menu for better lighting!

5. Enjoy enhanced graphics in The Walking Dead Remastered using ReShade with RTGI!
