Setting up Reshade and loading preset files for the game on Steam Linux (DBD example).Download Presets Reshade for Dead by Daylight

    👀In this video, we'll explain how to configure Reshade on Linux, as well as install and activate the famous basic presets that can be created to automate adjustments, such as in the game Dead By Daylight, the famous DBD!

    In Reshade, we can define keyboard shortcuts to activate or deactivate Reshade, as well as load and switch presets created for games such as DBD and others!

    When you install Reshade, it comes with zero configurations; you won't be able to apply or modify filters in your game! Reshade requires initial configuration to function. Linux is no different!

    And for those who wish to download and install the famous basic presets created by users for DBD, the .ini files must be configured and loaded so that Reshade can finally work, applying the post-processing we want!

    For the famous DBD game Dead By Daylight, we have several independent Reshade presets, one for each map in the game, or a preset for a specific group of maps that are similar in general graphic characteristics! For games like DBD with many different maps with very distinct environments from each other, it's practically impossible to have a perfect preset for all of them! You have to load the most suitable preset for the map when it appears, dynamically adjusting luminance, shadows, contrast, brightness, and color gamut. For DBD, we have the element of surprise of randomly loaded maps; the user only finds out which map they will play on when the session loads! Unless they are forced with offerings! But that's not always the case!

    So in Reshade, we can load several preset files already pre-configured for specific map conditions—lighter, darker, or neutral! Thus, when we activate the presets in Reshade, the map will have its post-processing adjusted in a way that is more appropriate for its environment!

    We can define a key on the keyboard to navigate between presets and change them easily in a matter of seconds! We can also turn Reshade on and off for conditions where GPU FPS is a higher priority than Reshade post-processing, and then turn it back on when it's most needed!

    After installing Reshade for Linux in the desired Steam game, the Reshade message will be displayed when you start the game. Usually, pressing the HOME key on the keyboard will display the Reshade menu!

    Accessing the Settings tab, we can configure all the necessary keyboard shortcuts to navigate between Presets, turn Reshade on or off, among other options!

    In the Reshade Home tab, we can load the various game Presets we want – the famous .ini files already with the Reshade settings pre-defined! In the case of DBD, we have several .INI files, one for each type of map, to provide better graphic processing for the various darker, lighter, or neutral environments!

    We will leave here the availability to download these Reshade Presets for the game Dead By Daylight, but those who wish can create their own different Presets with other settings!

    Although the Linux version of Reshade is exclusive, the .INI files of the Presets work for both Reshade Linux and Reshade for Windows!

    Just download them, choose a folder to place them in, and then load the files as we instructed in the video, so that Reshade can automatically adjust the post-processing!

  👉  Although we showed Reshade being configured in the game DBD, any other Steam game can have Reshade installed and configured in the same way!

    It's just not universal, meaning for each game you will have to install the Reshade script, configure it, and load the Preset .INI files for each game!

    💬And when you need to update Reshade to new versions, you will have to run the script again one by one for each game as well, so that Reshade always downloads and updates automatically.

    Although it doesn't have a universal version with automatic global updates, Reshade for Linux is an incredible tool that at least allows us to have the same gaming features as Windows, proving once again that Linux is now a system that can easily replace Windows!

   💬 Remember once again that Reshade consumes GPU resources, and depending on the chosen preset and the filters being processed, the game's FPS may drop slightly! The FPS can be reduced by up to 15 FPS depending on your video card, GPU, and of course, the filters being processed!

    That's why you can temporarily turn off Reshade with the F5 key (in the case that we have already configured for this function) to gain temporary FPS and turn Reshade back on with F5 when you need more graphical accuracy.

    Reshade makes all the difference for playing better without resorting to cheat codes, cheats, and other illegal maneuvers!
