Extremely minor update to Gameplay v2, editing some values for more bloom consistency across different values. Both warmer and cooler toned areas (deserts, snow) will be much clearer and show less variation in bloom value.

So, as an IMMERSE enjoyer, I decided to make a new preset that is extremely similar to the original, just using primarily IMMERSE shaders. NOTE: This does require you to have the Pro tier of shaders from PG's patreon found here: https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg (RAY TRACERS tier), as the preset uses ReGrade, Clarity, and Solaris. This is an entirely optional "sidegrade" and isn't meant to be a replacement for the original shader. Moving forward, this is the preset I will be updating however, as I don't want to change the original preset, just in case you really enjoyed that one.

That being said, the IMMERSE verison has a few notable differences; the new version is slightly sharper, slightly cooler, and uses a different AO shader, which I find plays a bit nicer with things that famously have issues with it (the twins' bangs, for example). It will never be perfect but I've tried to make it more tolerable to look at.

So all that being said, I've added the preset as "Gameplay v2" in the presets folder. If you decide to use it, make sure your IMMERSE Pro shaders are in the appropriate place within the shaders folder. "Gameplay v1" is the original, and still comes with all necessary shaders.

Enjoy!

Edit: To avoid loading errors for some IMMERSE shaders, keep performance mode off.

Enjoy a soft, warm glow by way of a single preset usable in all content!

I found that most gameplay presets have either too little impact or far too much, and really wanted something in between. I prefer something that is just a suite of enhancements that do not stray too far off from the intended design. Should be low impact on FPS but I do have a NASA computer so YMMV. Also would be a wonderful "starter" preset, toggle things to your liking and add/remove as many shaders as you like.

+ Color correction - Removes the "warm haze" that this game tends to have, while keeping the intended color palette the primary focus, executed by boosting cool tones.
+ Enhanced color profiles - This preset enhances your skin undertones, it does not change your skin color entirely due to oversaturation.
+ Light "mandatory" enhancements - Only the slightest amount of sharpening to make your armors and glamour sets really pop. Only a small amount of AO to give your character depth. Slight bloom added that does not impact the saturation/exposure of the game.
+ And hey, why not? - A toggle for a DOF for easy portraits. Default keybind is [Shift+Delete] or [Numpad 9] for v2
