TWEAK

[Eagle1]

ok I found a tweak that is completely legal,

Believe me I am completely legal and hack free, I can't stand hackers and hate them with a passion. Thats about as nice as I can put it without using profanity.

all this does is clean up the blur in the game, so it doens't seem like you have to wear glasses to play, LOL

turn down the blur to 25% so it has very little blur but keeps the game looking smooth.

go to this folder:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\Engine\Shaders\HLSL\MegaPostProcess

and open this file using notepad:

Blur.HLSL

find the line at the very bottom that starts like this:

return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor)

and replace it with this:

return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor) + (BloomColor / 4.0f);

It cleans up the game very nice.

Thanks Eagle1, my file looked like this:

return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor) + BloomColor;

Are you saying that I need to replace it with the following:

return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor) + (BloomColor / 4.0f);

Looks like you have a space before and after the /

Plus added the parenthesis before and after

[Eagle1]

that is the file line copy it from the post and replace the one in your file exactly as I have it posted
it is exactly how it is in my file.

return lerp(PreviousColor, BlurColor, Factor) + (BloomColor / 4.0f);

Great fix, looks nice. I can't stand that blur, I think they do that as sort of a cheap anti-aliasing feature or something.

Now if we can get rid of the blur when you get shot....

That's the cold hand of death you're seeing!
