Access the Shader Menu

Press the key to open the shader options menu while in-game. This is typically a dedicated shader settings button in your mod menu or launcher settings.

Choose Your Profile

BVSF Shaders includes multiple preset profiles designed for different hardware:

  • Potato/Low: Minimal visual effects, maximum performance. Use this on older or weaker machines.
  • Medium: Balanced colored lighting and shadows with moderate performance impact.
  • High: Full colored lighting, detailed shadows, and enhanced visuals. Requires a capable GPU.

Select the profile that matches your PC's capabilities. You can test each one and monitor your frame rate to find the best balance.

Fine-Tune Individual Settings

Once you've chosen a base profile, you can adjust individual options:

  • Toggle colored lighting on or off
  • Adjust shadow detail and distance
  • Control lighting intensity
  • Enable or disable specific visual effects

Make small changes and check your FPS in-game. If you drop below your target frame rate, lower the next setting. Save your custom profile once you're satisfied.
