MAIN MENU COLOR GRADING REMOVAL THANKS TO TEST1
Alright, do you remember Zdann's Graphic Mod? DX11 Mod? Post Processing Stubber? any FPS boost mod out there?
Well, this one is BASED on their idea, now, this is on BLT, NOT PDMOD, so, it's safer to use for everyone!
You dont need Zdann's Graphic tweak anymore for this!
Please verify your game files with steam if you have any issues
This can be effective for ANY machine, low, mid or high spec, as far as I have noticed, it reduces the heat generated specially on laptops. It boosts up to 20+ FPSs depending on the map you are on.
List of effects disabled.
HDR Post Processor.
SSAO
Advanced Bloom
Shadow modifiers
Anti Aliasing AA
Light adaption.
LEX Composite (various effects)
Post DOF
Depth Projection
Shadow Slice Depths
Deferred Lighting
Various Ambient effects
Some innecesary reflections, glossiness
Specular
Main Menu Blue Filter
DESPITE ALL THOSE EFFECTS TURNED OFF, THE GAME KEEPS LOOKING VERY GOOD.
NO MESSED UP TEXTURES OR SHADOWS.
Keep in mind, maps like Golden Grin Casino and similars, will still lag if you already have lag in them.
What this does, is DISABLE MOST post processing effectS.
I also recommend installing these mods

Another thing is that THIS DOES NOT mess up the shadows and its completely compatible with low resolution shadow map or something, awesome, is´nt it?
If you are using this version, use this to remove that pesky blur/bloom effect on meth labs

For some already good powered machines, you might not notice the difference.
This mod DOES NOT change anything in the main menu, does NOT offer a menu either, it always works.
Yes, this work is based on others mods, the purpose of this one, is offering a lighter, safer graphic solution.
If you find ANYTHING wrong with this mod, any bug or something that causes a crash, please inform me.
CREDITS GOES TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR, ANONYMOUS PERSONAL FRIEND, WHO HAD HIS CODE STOLEN FROM ________ AND GAVE ME PERMISSION TO PUBLISH IT.
Since I have more time and I can take on discussions on his behalf (real original creator), he gave me his permission to take care of it, he prefers to stay anonymous.
UPDATE: It should fix the issue some people are having about frame drops, also, disabled some other background effects, unnoticable by simple view, but it helps the FPSs.
IF YOU STILL HAVE THAT FRAMEDROPS PROBLEM, PLEASE CHECK YOUR OTHER GRAPHICAL MODS INSTALLED.
YOU DONT NEED ZDANN'S GRAPHIC MOD TWEAK ANYMORE, VERIFY YOUR GAME FILES.
