The is the most embarrassing thing I've seen haopen to an already released game in years.
And if makes me really fucking angry that I about the PS4 version because remote play seemed more valuable to me than a resolution and AA boost. If I could have gone back I'd have bought it on PC for this mod.
Wow if it really was that simple, why'd it take so long to unlock/discover it? Not to discredit the person that found it, thanks to him we found out about it.
Not to mention you could have used steam in home streaming as substitute as well
and the response!?
For those wanting to know how a lesser system does...
AMD FX6300@ 3.8ghz HD7870 24GB ram (irrelevant, but just posting for completion)

Have shadows on med because it gives me the greatest performance without loss of visual quality IMO.

I saw zero change to my framerate. It's during the day though, I'll try and get another set of shots at night. And yes, it feels like there is less stuttering when I'm driving, but I'm not noticing much of a change in my actual FPS so it may be in my head.
And like others have said, the current DoF effect is all over the place... If you sit still it randomly shifts back and forth between closer and further depth, rather disorientating... but it's just a simple click away from being disabled... which I'll likely do since leaving DoF on contributes to my motion sickness.

Unpacking the various game files isn't something your average Joe does.
From a Kotaku comment -
Referencing my screenshots showing off the mod. I didn't use Sweetfx...
I mean SweetFX is nice but it's not going to add in effects like DYNAMIC FUCKING SHADOWS. Ugh.
Where's jschreier when you need him?

They actually called it E3 Rain and Theatre?
It can't mean what it looks like...can it?
Yup.
It started of with those few values being changed to '1', and now TheWorse has dug up a few more effects by unpacking the files.
This remind me of Dark Souls 2 downgrade and removed lightning effects. but seems like From programmers didn't kept that in the PC code. It's just bizarre that a studio will removed these features (or hide them) instead of offer them in the settings for the PC version.

I wonder if AC:Unity and Far Cry 4 comes with E3 Rain and Theatre

"Fix" reflections? There is nothing wrong with them. It would take an extreme amount of extra resources to fully render a relfection in real time. It's just not possible. This is an open world game.
Probably because no one suspected that it would actually be that simple, and that Ubisoft had actually done all of the work only to have it deactivated and "hidden". Also this requires unpacking the files, so it wasn't as simple as just opening a text file in a directory and changing variables like Microsoft Flight Simulator.
But once unpacked, yeah it's that simple.

Did he change the colors too? That after pic looks really desaturated.
Your screenshots always hurt my eyes they're so blurry.
It's not false advertising if the gameplay is exactly the same besides minor differences.
Not sure if the mod changes saturation or anything else, but the colors are certainly different... but it appears to only be on objects with lighting on them. Could be a post processing effect, I'm not sure.

While I like the Bokeh effect in this picture, it kind of gives the impression that the hero is super short sighted - which would make sense since he looks at his smartphone like 90% of the time
And kadzait got banned for trolling TheWorse's thread claiming he stole his work. Shit was hilarious.

Wooooow gaming journalism wtf.
Can you take some comparison screenshots?
