Star Wars: Battlefront II - Shader Patch v.1.5.0 - Game mod - Download

Shader Patch is a mod for Star Wars Battlefront II  (the one from 2005), created by SleepKiller.

Description

Shader Patch is a mod focused around providing subtle but meaningful, non-intrusive improvements to the game's shaders and rendering while also exposing more advanced capabilities relating to modders.

Core Features

1. All lighting is done per-pixel.
2. An Order-Independent Transparency approximation for supported GPUs.
3. An optional alternative post processing path for the game that (unlike the vanilla game) gracefully handles high resolutions.
4. An example of what this fixes being the "blue" water overlay bug.
5. An edited water shader that adds distortion of the scene beneath the water and smoother animation.
6. This is about the only "breaking change" made by the mod, as maps that have edited their water normal maps may get incorrect results under Shader Patch. (Ideas for how to fix this and bring it inline with Shader Patch's "non-intrusive" goal/requirement are welcome.)
7. Optional depth-masking for refractions.
8. Disabled by default for performance, needs to be enabled by changing "Refraction Quality" in the user config.
9. Support for display scaling.
10. Enables comfortably using the game on high DPI displays.
11. The game is drawn using D3D11 and makes use of Windows 10's support for variable refresh rate displays.

Installing:

Shader Patch should be very simple to get up and running. You can either run the installer or simply copy the contents of this folder

into your `GameData` folder.

If you do not have write access to your game directory the installer may prompt you to

run it as an Administrator; it will however only do this if it has to. It will depend on your OS version,

game version and your personal configuration. In all cases you can edit the permissions of your

game folder to make sure you have write access as a normal user and it will remove the need for

admin elevation.

### Configuring ###

Shader Patch comes with a number of settings that can be adjusted by the user. You can run 'Shader Patch Settings.exe'

(or 'Shader Patch Installer.exe' if you manually installed, they're the same application and will enter the configurator mode when

it detects being in the game's folder) or you can edit the and edit the config file 'shader patch.yml' directly.

See and edit the config file 'shader patch.yml' in

your game directory for a list and descriptions of them. Checking it out before using Shader Patch is highly recommended.
