I personally did so when switching what renderer it uses and I basically just bumped it up by 4. Optional: I also highly recommend bumping up the brightness especially with Yamagi Quake II. I just highly recommend Yamagi Quake II as its what I use personally. Here’s a handy guide to jumping into the latest iteration of Quake 1, as well as a few notable mod picks, most of which are single-player. NOTE: Theoretically speaking reshade should be compatible with most forms of opengl, so you may experiment with other source ports that use a version of it.

Download my mod/preset and just extract it where you installed ReShade or where the game's exe is located.

Then checking off on 'Skip Tutorial' then 'OK'.

I highly recommend then clicking on 'Edit ReShade settings'.

Check mark 'Standard effects', 'SweetFX by Ceejay.dk', and 'qUINT by Marty McFly'.

When prompted with the question, 'Which rendering API does yquake2 use?', select 'OpenGL'.

Either wait and click the game in the auto search or click the bottom right corner button, 'Browse.', and search for the game's exe.

Click on 'Click here to select a game and manage its ReShade installation'.

Run the file after the download finishes.

Then repeat steps 1-3 with each expansion/mod you want to use this mod/preset with.

Alkaline is a Quake 1 mod & map pack, based on Rubicon 2 by metlslime.

Run the base game and go into options and switch its renderer to 'Opengl v1.4', Oddly v3.2 is not compatible with reshade Everything works perfectly fine in a singleplayer world but for some reason.

I highly recommend installing the latest version of Yamagi Quake II from its main website:.

This the final product of solving those issues. I spent many years injecting shaders into games and for the longest time I was like everyone else and always skrewing over the lighting and actually making the overall image blurrier than it by default was.

This mod/preset is designed to help you get the sharpest, cleanest image you may get out of your game without the need to force anything upon your gpu and taken a massive performance hit.
