Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the VHS shader after installing it?
Open the Shaders menu in your video settings, find Lost Signal VHS Shaders in the list, and click it to activate. The effect applies immediately to your world.
Why does everything look so blurry and hard to read?
The interlaced scanning lines and film grain are intentional, but you can reduce their intensity in the shader settings by lowering the grain amount or disabling specific effects like color bleed to improve visibility while keeping the VHS aesthetic.
What's the difference between NTSC and PAL mode?
NTSC and PAL are different color standards from old broadcast regions—NTSC gives a slightly warmer, more American TV look while PAL has cooler tones and was used in Europe and other regions. Pick whichever matches the found-footage style you want.
Can I turn off just the tracking lines or static without disabling the whole shader?
Yes, the shader has individual toggles for most effects in its settings menu—you can disable tracking tears, reduce static, or turn off color ghosting independently while keeping other VHS effects active.
