A way to change some of the colours in Cliffs Of Dover.

Apart from the AA thing you probably just need to tweak your screen settings so no need for additional files

Just on a sidenote: using full screen filters is generally a subjective but also very broken way of fixing colors: It changes the colors for everything, including sunsets, fields, bark of trees, flowers etc.

I have a few screens here and one has a cathode backlight and PVA panel. It tends to, even though it's a higher end display, not calibrate to the whitepoint perfectly and has a bit of yellow tint. On that screen CloD indeed looks a bit too yellow indeed. I imagine that on low end screens that effect can be even worse.

On the IPS ones it looks perfectly though. Your screenshot has a very cold color tone, as if it's not the sunlight but a mix with moonlight.


Contrasts on most games always seem odd though. The problem is that gamers usually have a very tiny viewpoint and the image contrast is affected by the lighting of the surroundings.
Another issue is the quality of the screen itself. I'd bet 99.9% of all gamers don't have a screen that cannot display true black.



So I'd say it's better if people use a tool like that to fix the colors as I don't have any problem with them. I'm not sure about the general issue of using 3rd party tools though when it comes to steam games and playing multiplayer...

Is there any way to make the aa works as the pics above

The FXAA is post processing, so VAC wouldn't pick it up, it does not alter the game files in any way, just processes the images after CoD makes them, before transferring to your video card.

Thanks Les,

Very good of you to take the time to share!

Thanks for the feedback.

These injectFxaa post-processing effects can be switched on and off using the pause button on a keyboard, much easier for me than changing the colour settings on my monitor when switching between IL2 and general viewing. Also, some of the more extreme effects that people might like to use, and that I haven't shown in the pictures I posted, just aren't possible via monitor adjustments alone.

I adjusted the colours on an S-PVA monitor that's been calibrated using a Datacolor Spyder3. The colours I'm seeing are pretty accurate, and even disregarding my general preference for colder, clearer imagery, I think the colour settings the game's using at the moment are just a bit off. I'm basing that opinion not just on what I'm seeing in-game now but on how it used to look in previous versions as well. In the past it's been too brown and then too blue, and now it seems too yellow.

It is true that this kind of post-processing effect changes the colour of everything from the flowers to the clouds, and so it's still up to the developers to set those internal colour relationships. The point is though, this injectFxaa utility is an easy way for anyone, with any monitor type or colour preference, to adjust the overall colour temperature and shadow strength to whatever suits them.

Yes.

I'll include some more comparison screenshots and the settings I used if anyone's interested.
