Anyone who still wants the tutorial on how the Steam version is edited from the YouTube video source.

 

 

Copy the .exe from Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common folder to desktop.

 


Open HxD64

 


Open Search Replace menu. 

 


Open Floating point tab

 

 

Select search direction to all for value 1 and 2        Value 3 use forward direction.

 

 

Change First value from            0.00065 to 0.00508

 


Change Second value from        0.001881 to 0.00318

 


Change Third value from                 0.000085 to 0.0

 

 

Then save to the desktop version making sure you've backed up the original.

Did you miss the info? Editing the exe file is not necessary anymore.

Yep unforrunately late to this. Posters corrected this with the mod. Yeah this could seriously mess up the Steam verify system which would result in a complete redownload.

Steam normally downloads just the files it doesn't like the look of when you verify them, not all of them, but as you say, this new method avoids all that.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Used more realistic mapping of wave lengths onto RBG values for the ozone layer scattering and the sun color, resulting in more realistic colors of the sky and the lighting in the world.

So they enhanced the scattering too, not only the RGB. Or?

Do we have to remove these files before we update to the beta?

It won't break the update but if you're using the injection version it will yell at you that the values are missing every time you launch so I would delete it. Plus it would be redundant to keep the files

Always better to put the default files in before updating. Just like a BIOS update, set defaults first so you can rule out even the slimmest of possible issues with an update.
