Trick for improve the GP Bikes colors/contrast etc...

Before


After


This method is very easy;

1_Download ReShade + SweetFX Here
2_Extract all files in C:\Program Files (x86)\GP Bikes
3_Open the SweetFX_settings.txt file with notepad, set 1 for enable an effect, for example;

#define USE_HDR              0 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)

Replace the 0 with a 1 for enable it, in this way:

#define USE_HDR              1 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)

In the bottom of the text file you can edit in detail, every single effect.


The effects that I can recommend are:

1_BLOOM - Very nice effect.
2_TONEMAP - Essential for correct exposure and saturation.
3_CURVES - For a great contrast.

The performance loss is very slight (with my laptop 3-4 frames)

I hope this helps someone

I'm not a fan of this kind of thing, but that's fine for gp Thank you

My combo is too strong for some monitor, i recommend of create your preferred settings, for example the bloom to some may not like, because it burns the sky (I like it in the 1p view!)

The last version of ReShade (1.1.0) is great. It has a small gui (Mediator, weird name) that allows you to select which effects you want and their parameters without editing the config files manually.
Also, it can detect your game API and push the right dll and the config of the effects to the installation folder of your game. The process is now really nice  and simple. Great piece of software.

I noticed that with GPB ReShade's MSAA significatly darkens the image while FSAA does not. Strange ...

Yep, this is my setup:

I tried it but didn't seem to do anything when I was in the game. Nothing happened. Any ideas?

Try THIS is manual but is very simple, copy/paste in your game folder (core.exe folder) if u want can edit the MasterEffects.h in real time, DOF + BLOOM and color correction they are already enabled, but can be easily modified as you wish.

If you have too much saturation, try to lower it in tonemap or set to 0 vibrance. 

Backspace in the game for ON/OFF

P.S. For the SMAA Anti-aliasing i think u need disable the AA in the game and maybe in your driver panel.

The 'dithering' effect makes a nice job of blending in ragged hard visible edges around spectators and other track-side bitmaps

Lol seems to race in a track with two different skies.
