[size=4][b]What is this?[/b][/size]
RealityIV is kind of similar to it's counterparts like Reality Redemption and RealityV. The goal is to improve the graphics by modifying the game shaders using a custom ReShade add-on called RealityFX. This only works with the Vulkan API. You can combine this with your favorite timecycle mod of choice too. Currently only Complete Edition is officially supported, older patches may still work.
