Mods

Removing various post-processing effects like Chromatic Aberration, Vignetting, etc.

Here's a set of dll files I've modified with dnSpy to remove some post-process effects, they might remove some effects that people find beneficial, so it might be best to edit your own dll files. Extract the zip and put the files in the Managed folder. https://archive.org/details/dreamfall-pp-mod

To edit the dll files yourself: Use dnSpy, open all the files in the Managed folder, most of the effects are in Assembly-CSharp.dll, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll and Assembly-UnityScript-firstpass.dll. You'll have to search through these and edit them.

Issues fixed

Graphics quality setting

Issue with game not remembering setting on restart.
Edit config file by hand[citation needed]
  1. Open config file.
  2. Add <pref name="UnityGraphicsQuality" type="int">0</pref> line if it's not there
  3. Change 0 to quality setting you want (0 - 3, 0 = low, 3 = awesome).
