How to enable HDR

By Psychic

Here is how you can enable proper HDR in The Alters using RenoDX.

The game currently lacks native HDR support and while NVIDIA RTX HDR is available, it makes the UI extremely bright.

Steps

1. Download and open Reshade installer.
https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_Addon.exe

2. Select the DirectX 11/12 option, and choose the game's executable located here:

...steamapps\common\The Alters\TheAlters\Binaries\Win64\TheAlters-Win64-Shipping.exe

For Gamepass version, instead select (using Browse):
gamelaunchhelper.exe

3. Go to this page: https://github.com/clshortfuse/renodx/wiki/Mods#multi-game-mods
Download the file renodx-unrealengine.addon64 and place it in the same folder as the game’s .exe.

The folder should look like this:

4. Launch the game.
A black screen may appear at first, don’t worry. Press HOME to open ReShade. In the RenoDX window that appears, set the Settings Mode to Advanced.
A longer list of options will appear. Find

R10G10B10A2_UNORM

and change it to

Output size

5. Restart the game. HDR should now be enabled.

6. You can press HOME anytime to:

Adjust Peak Brightness
Modify UI Brightness
Toggle HDR on/off to compare the difference and confirm it’s working

Thank you. It works perfectly.
And the picture on OLED looks much better.

Strange, I didn't have any crashes.

Gam crashes upon starting Act 2 with this enabled.

Not a big deal, you can just disable and reenable it after. Just thought to mention it.

after selecting gamelaunchhelper.exe for the reshade install, you must move the reshade files and folder to where the exe is, \XboxGames\The Alters\Content\TheAlters\Binaries\WinGDK

For anyone trying to use ReShade with Game Pass version, pick gamelaunchhelper.exe instead of TheAlters-Win64-Shipping.exe.

Yes, just that file. It's the file for Unreal Engine games that don't have a dedicated mod.

Tweety 13 Jun @ 1:50pm

Ah, so just this file:
https://clshortfuse.github.io/renodx/renodx-unrealengine.addon64

There is no addon for Alters. For which game should I download the renodx-unrealengine.addon64 file?
