Hey Folks! This highly optimized Reshade preset is designed for Train Sim World 5 while maintaining full backward compatibility with TSW 2–5. It bridges the gap between the game’s native rendering and a more immersive, cinematic experience, enhancing sharpness, lighting, depth, and color accuracy without compromising performance. Whether you're navigating dark tunnels, admiring distant landscapes, or fine-tuning your screenshots in Photo Mode, this preset delivers a polished upgrade.

Key Features & Enhancements:

1. Precision Sharpness & Detail Enhancement

  • AdaptiveSharpen.fx: A balanced sharpening algorithm clarifies distant objects and textures without introducing artifacts; Enhances edges while preserving texture detail, ideal for high-resolution displays
  • AMD FidelityFX ContrastAdaptiveSharpen.fx: Enhances edges while preserving texture detail, ideal for high-resolution displays
  • Unsharp.fx: Softens pixelation with subtle blur for a natural, anti-aliased look

2. Dynamic Depth of Field (DoF) & Focus Realism

  • MagicDOF.fx: Autofocus-enabled depth blur dynamically adjusts based on your viewpoint, simulating real camera behavior

3. Cinematic Lighting & Color Grading

  • FilmicPass.fx: Applies a filmic tone curve for deeper shadows and vibrant highlights, avoiding "flat" visuals
  • Tonemap.fx: Fine-tunes exposure and saturation to prevent washed-out skies and boost contrast
  • MagicBloom.fx: Subtle bloom mimics real-world light diffusion around lamps and sunlight
  • Colerfulness: Adjust the right balance for the colors
  • FilmicTonemap.FilmicAdaptation: This effect rounds off the other effects in a harmonious interplay

Optimized Performance

  • Lightweight Workflow: The effects are all not particularly GPU or CPU heavy
  • Mod-Friendly: Zero conflicts with other TSW mods; disable any effect via the ReShade menu

Technical Notes

  • Compatibility: Works flawlessly across TSW 2–5 and all DLC routes
  • Note: Extreme close-ups (e.g., cockpit panels) may briefly blur but stabilize instantly when zooming out
  • Troubleshooting: You can disable "MagicDOF" if blur is undesirable; reduce GI_Power for lower-end PCs

Requirements

Requires only the official Reshade Software (free to download on the official website)

Installation Instructions

*Installation:

  1. Download Reshade official
  2. install Reshade to -> SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Train Sim World 5\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Binaries\Win64 ->TrainSimWorld.exe
  3. Copy and paste the Reshade preset and start the game

(I recommend keybinding the Reshade window to F4 (or any other key) and the effect toggle to F5. This way, you'll have easy access to activate or disable the Reshade preset whenever it's not needed.)*

after you have installed reshade and you start your game, you get the information about "Press Position 1" to open the Reshade Menu. After you open the menu, just skip the tutorial and go to the settings, directly there on the right side of the discription of the settings menu, you will see " Keybind - Pos1 to open Menu" and change that Key to F4 or what ever you want. And the Second Effect toggle Key set that to F5 or what ever you want.

I believe I installed the program and the .ini file in the correct mentioned directory. Ive alocated Menu key and effect toggle to F5 & F6 respectfully. Ive selected your game .ini file and software runs when in game. However when I toggle effects on and off I cant see any difference. Any suggestions what im doing wrong?

Hello Simon, can you first tell me which game you installed the reshade for? It seems that the preset from the reshade has not been recognised correctly. I would recommend that you quit the game. Insert the preset first and then start the game. Wait until you are in the game menu and then select the preset from the reshade menu and wait until it loads and displays the effects.

Hi Yami I finally found time to relook into this application and pleased to say it seems to be working, the jury is still out for me as it gives a different perspective. Can I please confirm I have all the correct effects applied as distant objects look blurry and you appear to list more in your description than I have ticked. Thanks
Thanks

Thank you for your message. I have edited the description on the page and updated everything but unfortunately forgot to upload the extended/improved reshade. It should be available here in a few hours. Please try again and give me your feedback for improvements and suggestions. Please excuse me for any confusion.

@Emmy_MAN correct :)
You could disable the effect called "Magic.DOF". Maybe that will help you.
